Southwest will now offer service five times a week from CVG to Nashville. CVG has not had nonstop service to growing Nashville since Delta cut its flights in 2018....
This doesn’t go far enough. More of these smaller streets need to be converted to pedestrian/bus only roads. Leave the major routes to the cars, funnel them straight to high capacity garages.
Most of the routes seem ridiculous to me. Uptown is the obvious choice for ridership due to UC. The NKY routes would have high ridership, but the actual path they have laid out makes no sense. All the other ones are a play for neighborhood improvement not ridership. Though the camp washington one could get a ton of ridership if it was extended to the Northside Transit center, this would tap into a huge park and ride resource, and the highest traffic bus stop in the city.
It seems like every other Transit plan in the city, it’s built around a few peoples preferences rather than looking at our transit system wholisticly.
Personally, I think the BRT was the right move (even if they kneecapped it’s usefulness as a commuter line by not extending the reading line up to GE). A quick and cheap way to make our transit exponentially faster and serve people better. I’m hopeful it can get through the bus stigma, and if it proves popular those routes will be prime candidates for light rail conversion. Expansion of the streetcar though? It still just feels like a novelty unless it actually goes somewhere. Make it connect park and ride stations to destinations across the city. Give it it’s own right of way or at the very least absolute signal priority (except for emergency services). Elevate it, or run it subgrade where necessary to keep its speed up. Having ridden the current iteration a ton, it seems like the ride from camp washington to the banks would take around 45 minutes, which is not even competitive with the bus.
Anyone got a spot open for a player looking to roll some dice? I’m trying to find an in person game that’s not at a shop that doesn’t require me to drive to Harrison (I live in a major city, why would I drive away from it?)....
Another so called “economics think-tank” that thinks [consumer price]-[raw material cost]=[profit]. They are just ingnoring all of the other variables in equation. P&G (their biggest example) laid off a huge percentage of their workforce during the pandemic and increased the price of the products. Now they are nearly back at 100% of their workforce but everyone is being paid more. It ends up being a wash for consumers at that point. That’s not even including cost of energy, cost of machine maintenance, and all of the other little things that have increased over the last few years. Nonsense.
My spouse is visiting Cincinnati for work for the next three days and she’s looking for some recommendations for things to do. She won’t have a lot of time but would love some recommendations for cafes, coffee shops, and good food (she’s vegetarian and really likes Indian, Middle Eastern, and Ethiopian food). She also...
To add to what curve already recommended: Sleepy bee for breakfast, and street food galore at the Findlay market. The streetcar is free so she can ride it as much as she pleases. I also like Moxy and collective espresso for coffee shops in the downtown/otr area.

The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn’t worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I’m the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.
That was always Gabe’s intention with SteamOS when it came out around a decade ago. He has never really liked windows, and definitely never liked the potential for Microsoft to mess with his product. SteamOS was made from the ground up to supplant windows as the primary gamer OS, we are just now witnessing the turning of the tide.

Not sure if it’s right, but it seems to me this is really just a bunch of preconfigured fedora instances for specific use cases with containerized packages you can mix and match to your needs. Then they slap on a bunch of buzz words to make it sound novel.
Does that keyboard fit in the case while closed? I don’t need a keyboard with the deck often, but it would be nice to have one with it all the time for that off chance I do. The times I need a keyboard I really need a keyboard.
Decent ideas. I tend to err more on the BRT side knowing money is finite, and good will for transit in Cincinnati is even more so. BRT is a great starting point with pretty low investment costs, then lines could be upgraded to light rail if the BRT is run well enough to improve the regions view of transit.
The Cincinnati to Oxford line will happen, no doubt. Oxfords Amtrak station (on the Cincinnati to Chicago line) should be opening in 2026 or there abouts, and the return to daily service will be a huge boon to ridership. Especially as the relatively wealthy Miami student base wants to come into the city for more entertainment options. This will eventually warrant more than daily service, but I doubt management will ever be taken over by a regional rail authority.
