Giving the finger to 38% of your ridership is quite a choice.

I will also often let the driver know I’m going to or have done so while I’m getting off. They’re tickled to know and many have never gotten one, even after years at Metro. It’s a tough job, let them know they’re appreciated!

Also, submit commendations for your bus drivers. Not sure about other agencies, but King County Metroform allows you to comment on your driver and note that you’re making a commendation. You’ll need to add additional details & it’s best to always get the coach number. kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metr...

Anyway, yes, I submitted a commendation for the bus op. For those of you not familiar with a G line it’s a rapid ride line that uses a very large Bendiboi type of bus. It is amazing to me that the operators are able to respond as quickly as I have seen them do several times.

Holy shit, thanks to some absolute shithead car driver who should have their license revoked, just had the worst hard stop on a bus ever. Thank god the bus was near empty, uphill, & neither I nor bus op are injured.

Another free idea: bus lanes on 2nd Ave.

Then we can spare the driver exclaiming “oh, balderdash” (verbatim!) after getting stuck behind a long line of cars turning R onto Denny.

Free idea: bus lane on Stewart.

Please clap, I finally took my Soma in to get the wheels trued and the rear tire rim replaced.

Ok, it was just more than a couple minutes late.

I thought the ghost bus situation improved? And yet.

I do think it’s a kindness to the people you care about to at least outline what you’d like your obituary to say. I expect that most of us find this a challenging task. And we want to do your memory justice.

I have made some progress on the obituary but not only can I only do a bit at a time, I keep remembering aspects of his life that seem important to include so this thing is going to be a novella I guess.

I’m so glad everyone is celebrating but I think 3 new lines in 3 different cities opened today so I am very confused.

E Line B Line new link line 1 I need transit lines to have much more specific names that reflect unmistakable local features.

Subtitle not subtle. Lol.

I think so. Didn’t notice the subtle at first but it does refer to”festival baking” and many recipes include notes about the corresponding holiday the item was made for, etc.

That is consistent with the cookbook I’m reading! It’s the variety of waffle types/recipe varieties that is remarkable.

I am currently seeing if the witloof root I grew and kept refrigerated in damp soil for a year is still viable to produce a chicon! Only 2 days in, will give it about a week.

Oops, that was supposed to be prefaced with “I daydream about“

About cycling in the countryside and making pitstops for frites along the ways.

FTR the purchase was NOT a cookbook 😇

Milk Street, btw. I love a lot of their recipes and I subscribed on a trial basis recently. They sent so many fucking marketing emails, for one, so it was especially easy to unsubscribe.

Before I made the beer stew that let me down this goddamn Belgian food rabbit hole I had only a passing interest in visiting. It is now absolutely at the top of my list.

One insidious new (to me) online purchase development is a shop offering a one-click add-on purchase AFTER I submitted my order, before the final confirmation screen. Unsubscribe.

While the Belgian Waffle was born of a misnamed and misreported street food in Queens (best boro forevah) I have learned that Belgians are in general extremely in to waffles.

Ah, thank you! That is super helpful and probably means I stick with OneBusAway as my primary.

Ok, IS there a way to use Transit App to only look at departures from a specific stop? I’ve been poking around in it and actually reading some of the support info, but still unclear on this function. I’d be willing to pay for Royale if I could confirm it works the way I find best for me.

Fake color-o-clock

Omg there’s a rice pudding tart
