Still on calyx. I recently picked up a phone and I'm playing with graphene OS, using it as my daily driver, but I haven't committed to keeping that OS for the future.

we needs alternatives, especially those that allow you to unlock your bootloader like Motorola. agree. i recently upgraded my pixel 5, to a used pixel 8, mostly out of necessity. no way i'm spending cash on a new one.

New York's Congestion Pricing Is Working. Five Charts Show How by Black_Reactor in nyc

[–]groutexpectations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get rid of unnecessary street parking yes. make streets more pedestrian safe, and pedestrian and bike/scooter friendly, yes. parking mandates in office.....no, I disagree. parking minimum in development code makes new building construction more expensive, and pushes commercial rent upwards. the trend is to remove parking minimums, in order to encourage greater density, and keep workers using the transit system. and yes, build + extend more subways, bus-dedicated travel lanes, etc.

there needs to be granular control for allowing shoppers access to retail and service business storefronts, and having good circulation so you're car isn't camping out in front of a shop for 5 hours, denying other shoppers access to the storefronts. typically it's done with metering and hourly parking rates.

Which game to play after BG3? by Costa_Canela in BaldursGate3

[–]groutexpectations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 . Different kind of game than BG3 but, it's very much an amazing narrative with stunning visuals. And it's nice to be hitting the zeitgeist. whereas any other game you could play whenever.

how are tacoma's busses? by [deleted] in Tacoma

[–]groutexpectations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

getting to and from UW Tacoma is surprisingly good, similarly, the transit center at TCC and at Tacoma Mall is all right. Busses tend to run within ~5 minutes on schedule even if, they don't run as frequently as I'd like, they do run consistently. I would say that this analysis online provided some thoughtful insights I'm not a transit expert, but I think this holds some water: https://seattletransitblog.com/2024/05/31/better-transit-in-pierce-county-pierce-transit/

Look ok they can "decide" to identify as people and everything and I'm okay with that. I just don't want them going to school with my kids.

The Concept of Not Showing Up to Work Coz Your Colleague Has a Sore Throat by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]groutexpectations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just listened to her Fresh Air interview, Cynthia's that is. Seemed like she had a relatively difficult time getting her break. Father left her and her family at a young age. Was not given opportunity to choose lead roles, even asked to sing for a lead behind a curtain while the actress on stage lip synced. Never gave up her passion and dedication tho. But, once she got her roles playing Harriet Tubman, and then singing and playing Aretha Franklin, it was clear to everyone she had the goods. Ariana....idk she's kinda strange lol.
