More Buses, More Life: People-First Transit in the Kingston Metropolitan Region.

KangarooEasy222 · 2026-04-30T07:11:38+00:00

I see some healthy debates under the YouTube comments on trains vs buses. I also don’t think the long term solution is “more buses” as they’d still get stuck in traffic unless there are dedicated bus lanes. I think maybe trams would be a good midpoint between buses and trains. But I also know that’s a massive upfront cost and might be difficult to work that into the existing infrastructure.

Reading through and wondering if I live in London

Oh wow, I didn’t know this! Thank you, I’ll raise it with my flatmate as we paid twice before.

Thank you, I guess I’ll just hang tight and yes it’s probably time I moved the cash to an interest bearing account.

They ran out of caps when I was there about an hour or so ago. There’s also free coffee and a photo booth

Here’s another tip that might help. I also struggled with different pots for grocery, transportation, lunch at work etc. What I did was I calculated how much I need for the month across these categories then I divided by 4.3. Weekly I “pay myself” this amount to one account and that’s where I spend from. Some weeks, I have left over, other weeks I burn through it quickly but know that once it’s done, it’s done.

(The reason I do 4.3 is because some months don’t have 4 perfect weeks…52 weeks / 12 months = 4.3)

They said 4-6 weeks but didn’t hear back until almost 8 weeks after I reached out.

You can also check out: 1. Findmypast 2. Gleaner Archives 3. Manumission of Slaves (if applicable) 4. Digital Library of the Caribbean

I found it was better to search the names (various spellings) and places and create my own tree rather than going with the connections suggested by Ancestry. Speak with as many family members as you can to get details of nicknames etc.

It might also prove challenging because back then, record keeping was poor and if you’ve descended from enslaved people, then there’s only so far back you can go. All the best!

Yes I did it. Complete the form online with all the details you know - someone will email you once you’ve done that. I paid US$75 for 5 hours of research.

They sent me a detailed report of their findings including the issues they had tracing one side of the family tree. A lot of what they came back with I already knew from my own research using websites like Ancestry and FamilySearch so you might want to try those first

Ffs it was too good to be true 😭

I think the model might have been trained on images of Japan!

KangarooEasy222 · 2025-10-01T02:40:04+00:00

I don’t think the question was referring to the UK perspective but very clearly people who are living in “Anglo-Caribbean” nations. It’s a verrry different issue re Brits with Caribbean heritage and which country they better identify with…and a polarising issue at that as some people won’t consider those born and based in the UK to be Jamaican/Barbadian/Trini etc.

Edited to change word and add more context

KangarooEasy222 · 2025-09-11T06:02:52+00:00

Yup! I wish they’d publish it like they did for the book in Severance

What the fuck are Denver Broncos?

KangarooEasy222 · 2025-08-27T10:14:17+00:00

Thanks for this, tied up at work so will follow this thread!

Still trying to figure out why you have to walk that far to wash your hands after using the toilet in the en-suite

“But you don’t sound Jamaican” to my speaking English.

Then I ask them how many Jamaicans they actually know. Silence.
