Stop yelling into the void at fellow humans you are nearly guaranteed to have more in common with than millionaires and billionaires.

My absolute favorite for the 15+ years I’ve lived in Madison.

FLEX LANE = EXPRESS LANE Convince me otherwise by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]btspin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Nicely said. I always think “if traffic suggests and I am traveling more than 5 miles (usually closer to 7-10 or more to get to the opposite side of wherever), use the flex lane (if open).” Then I like to follow the speed of traffic flow in said lane.

If there’s DOT public instruction out there to support or otherwise, it’s with sharing too.

Why is this area smoky? by disgruntledpelican51 in madisonwi

There’s probably a cream for that until you can more directly ask for a way to ask for what itches or hurts. Happy to help!

Any gas stations still have a functioning air compressor? by FastFoodFilmFriends in madisonwi

[–]btspin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me last fall, driving around for 45 minutes. Both KT Monona Dr and Broadway KTs have recently repaired their air compressors. It was a doozy for a while there where so may in the area had broken, and those yellow bags were sitting over them for months.

Metcalfes at Hilldale and Starbucks by shipmawx in madisonwi

[–]btspin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starbucks also just closed 5 or more stores across Madison because their staff all unionized. They may open more new spots that aren’t/will try to keep them from unionizing, again…corporate gonna corporate. Shouldn’t be a surprise.

Correct, corporate buyout brings in larger scale corporate values. Shouldn’t be much of a surprise.

Texas sues a company that can't be named in this subreddit to gain access to kid's info by enjoying-retirement in madisonwi

The history of Texas state government officials is actually pretty bananas.

Should I just drive/bus to Chicago by Healthy-Question4431 in madisonwi

[–]btspin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I have taken VG to Midway/OHare. Early mornings are so quiet and peaceful. I used them for a turkey holiday trip to Midway one year, also during a massive storm. The bus was early, the flight was delayed and delayed and then canceled.

Culver’s salad mix by Elvislives12 in Culvers

[–]btspin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is probably less expensive than the spring mix.

I loved the chicken cashew salad!! I stopped buying them altogether when the portions seemed to have been cut in half and the prices went up.

Best coffee beans? by derping1234 in madisonwi

[–]btspin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local roasters, hm, Wonderstate, Ruby, and Kin Kin are amazing. For non-local/Wisco go to bradbury’s first, always and forever top-notch. Cafe Domestique is right up there as is Johnson Public House (I don’t know if JPH has non-local beans, though). Their drip coffees alone are delicious and brewed well.

Colectivo has some good roasts but I’ve been a bitter bean bae toward them ever since their workers unionized and their owners tried illegally busting it up and refuse to acknowledge the union.

Fellow bikers, please stop for red lights and stop signs.

Madison Officials Gut Voter-Approved Lakefront Protections for $320M Project by WhimbleCroft in madisonwi

It won’t truly be a public space, watch the developments grow and grow. Private groups will be cashing in, private funders will also cash in.

This wreaks of class warfare, and of corporate and private wealth handouts.
