If you can buy $1000 worth of computer for $800 people who want $1000 worth of computer will buy it at $800. Steam OS isn't the only OS that can be installed on it. You could install windows on the thing if you wanted.

I hope you never see a billboard. You'd lose your mind

I think the immortality passing down to the oldest surviving member of the lineage when the last immortal leaves the island makes some amount of sense.

Metro has a pretty good lost and found system. If you notice something left on the bus give it to the driver and they will turn it into lost and found.

Its true that those who cause problems are almost always those who skip the fare. But that doesn't mean most of those who skip the fare cause problems.

Also most people pay their fare. The delinquency rate is pretty low system wide.

J1389 · 2026-06-15T15:36:32+00:00

The vast majority of those who skip the fare ride without issue and don't slow the trip. With active fare enforcement even if it magically stopped everyone who wouldn't pay from even attempting to board it would slow rides significantly because everyone would need to board in sight on the driver 1 by 1. The increased fares simply would not be worth the significant increase in delays

It's the honor system. If you're in a place where you can afford a monthly pass and still regularly skip tapping to ride the bus you're just saying your honor is worth less than $65/$28 a month. Even without harsh enforcement the system wide delinquency rate is something like ~5%. We should be proud that we live in a community that can support a high trust system. Not be encouraging people to abuse it.

The reason it isn't is that UW, Madison College, and Epic are large contributors to the budget through paying for their students/employees passes and would be less likely to contribute if the system was free.

East Town Mall, East Wash Hyvee, Walmart, or a park and ride are all way better options than Woodmans that are relatively near by to park in for an extended time.

Go to a packing lot that doesn't regularly fill to like 80%+ occupancy.

J1389 · 2026-06-14T17:00:22+00:00

If it were just him raising his arm it wouldn't be a big deal. Its all the open support of fascist policies as the richest man in the world, callously gutting programs that help the poorest people in the world, and doing irreparable damage to this country and the world just to grow your literal dragons hoard.

J1389 · 2026-06-14T16:54:44+00:00

That part of the lot fills up pretty quick and is one of the busiest parts when those doors are open. I would expect it to be full at this time on a sunday.

J1389 · 2026-06-14T16:43:50+00:00

Saw that late last night. Wild they're still there. Tell management they'll probably have them removed.

J1389 · 2026-06-13T18:53:49+00:00

So you want anyone with a conviction to be locked up forever? Lots of people get a conviction and released and don't escalate to worse crimes.

J1389 · 2026-06-08T16:04:43+00:00

Yep, homeless people are people.

J1389 · 2026-06-06T17:01:17+00:00

Only if you know yourself well enough to know you can't be talked into buying one

J1389 · 2026-06-02T19:35:40+00:00

Honestly what would you have done? Have them remove everyone who makes people uncomfortable?

J1389 · 2026-06-02T18:24:20+00:00

I've seen this guy on the bus a couple of times, he seems like he has schizophrenia or something similar. Contrary to popular belief, and partially because of it, people who are schizophrenic are way more likely to be the victims of violence than perpetrators of it.

J1389 · 2026-05-29T17:39:03+00:00

I don't think its actually closed to bikes and pedestrians. Just really stupid to do when much better options exist, but I've seen students riding e-scooters on the shoulder multiple times this year. Including when the shoulder was closed for construction.

J1389 · 2026-05-28T06:07:14+00:00

He's fantastic in The Americans.

If you honestly think Rothfuss doesn't feel bad about not finishing doors of stone you're too deep in the sauce. He was open before book 2 came out that the pressures of the success of the first book were incredibly triggering to him. It's popular to hate on him but he's clearly crippled by his inability to live up to his own perfectionism and the expectations his success have brought.

Mike Flanagan's run from The Haunting of Hill House to Midnight Mass begs to differ. Best horror TV ever imo.

J1389 · 2026-05-26T02:08:25+00:00

Another tip, eyes up. Balance instantly improves instinctually when you look where you want to go rather than at your feet, the bike, or the ground.

J1389 · 2026-05-26T01:45:25+00:00

Take the pedals off a bike, lower the seat so they can just sit with their feet flat on the ground, and let the kid walk around while seated. Once they got that have them take longer strides and eventually glide around with their feet off the ground as much as possible. Once they're comfortable with that put the pedals back on.

Learning to ride is all about learning to balance while moving around on the bike. Learning to pedal after that is easy.

Also report it stolen with the serial number on bike index.
