Springtime means reading by the lake listening to birds until the sun falls away

Some people oppose the Northern Corridor because of some tortoises. I oppose the Northern Corridor because putting 18 lane-miles of high-speed road through rough terrain to "relieve congestion" at one intersection is a bad use of money.

I put "relieve congestion" in quotes because clearly they want to induce demand but won't say that out loud because it'd bring the NIMBYs out. I say if they want more housing without the congestion, build in St. George and improve Suntran. There's plenty of vacant and underutilized lots.

Dinner today had 3 different legumes in entirely different forms. Vigna radiata noodles, Glycine max sauce and curd, and roasted and chopped Arachis hypogaea.

Got some cucumber flavored Lays Stax from a Chinese import store, and they are so good PepsiCo should add them to their American offerings.

There's a picture floating through the Internet of a possible tornado in my neighborhood this morning and now I'm sad I missed it

@jcphoenix We didn't even have a severe thunderstorm watch, so I didn't know to watch out for it :(

I'm reading a blog and the author is using the pronoun "it" for corporations and Mitt Romney would be so disappointed.

Isn't this voter suppression? https://newsfactsnetwork.com/news/kari-lake-urges-supporters-to-strap-on-a-glock-ahead-of-elections/

@Reshirams_Rad_Slam Most states have laws against visibly supporting political candidates in polling places. Also many states have laws that suspend gun-free zones during elections.

The American experience is biking through an intersection with 32 car lanes strewn with little bits of plastic and metal while a person sign-dances on a corner with a sign that says "Auto collision experts" while Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams plays.

Airlines sure love building websites and customer support services that don't work.

Delta's Android app sends you to an SMS thread for customer support and it has a fairly competent AI with an easy escape hatch to real people. Their iOS app has an in-app messaging thread with a garbage AI that tries to integrate with their garbage website (their log-in service is down today).

After spending a week in the UK I'm less interested in carrots for increasing active transportation and more interested in sticks to get people out of cars.

@Reshirams_Rad_Slam They have sub-par bicycling and walking infrastructure by US standards and still have loads of people out on bikes and foot

Spending part of my morning writing nastygrams to businesses nearby that don't have bicycle parking but should. So far I've got the liquor store, a grocery store, and the urgent care. I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

timesandseasons,
@timesandseasons@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

The liquor store says they'll get bike parking if the budget allows, which it better since a $200 staple or two is a drop in the bucket considering they brought in $236.12 million in "profit" last year.

A little bit of single-family-home brain I've been experiencing: the state drivers license division doesn't have a spot for apartment number in the address field when you apply for your state ID, and the county election division requires the apartment number on your voting registration, so if you live in an apartment you can't register to vote at the same time you get your state ID.

A "fun" tidbit from the local paper: the utility had to halt transition plans to clean energy because it's paying out so much in wildfire damage settlements that it has no money. So since it can't afford clean energy, it's burning more coal, making wildfire risk worse 🙃

The @sltrib in a story today linked to this HHS factsheet about IVF. I had no idea that in several states IVF accounts for a full 5% of births. Also the correlations with wealth and political party are interesting.

It's so weird reading about all of the ad money the Biden campaign is pouring into Snapchat. I had no idea people still used it.

@deeznuts It's the primary messaging platform for all my friends, but like no one uses stories, which is where the ads are.

Step 1: Activist investors force Norfolk Southern to gut themselves for short term profits

Step 2: NS starts declining in profitability, eventually starts posting losses

Step 3: The other Class I railroads try buying NS. STB says no

Conclusion: Conrail 2: Electric Boogaloo
