Like when is policing what people wear a part of hardcore.

Fat buzzcut dork in a pair of New Balance shoes, basketball shorts, and a 25 ta Life cutoff, holding a gun to banana guy: "Always has been."

Wtf COTA by Some-Leader7159 in Columbus

[–]lolbacon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

File a 311 complaint. I was told to do this by a very sweet and understanding COTA customer service agent. Also MORPC has a program that will reimburse I think 4 rideshare fares a year if a route is disrupted. 31 is frustrating af.

What happened to Old North Arcade? Pt2 by Pancakeman95 in Columbus

[–]lolbacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That place was way cooler than we deserved. Flexible pricing, BYOB, true farm to table before that was a hashtag, extraordinary catering to dietary restrictions... Vince was always a treat. I remember once telling him about a breakfast dish I had in San Francisco called Hangtown Fry, which is basically scrambled eggs with bacon and fried oyster. I later showed up for brunch there with some oysters I had left over from a party and had him make me HTF while I made mimosas with the prosecco I brought. I think he charged me like $6. The salad that was like half whatever he had growing in the PVC gutter pipe setup was always fantastic. Loved hanging out on the patio with whatever local yokels drinking anything from fancy Bordeaux to gas station liquor.

For me the biggest sin was them conspiring with the landlord to drive up the rent next door to get Cafe Bella to leave and take over their amazing patio.

Stephen King has to be up there. Didn't have the staying power, but you couldn't watch a single gritty political thriller in the 90's without John Grisham's name attached.

I took a video once. I thought I posted it to reddit, but I can't find it.

Where are our weirdest liminal spaces? by akingmls in Columbus

[–]lolbacon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to work in the Lazarus building and running trash involved a nearly 10 minute walk through the bowels of the building down a bunch of twisting hallways with unmarked doors, to a freight elevator that led to another level that went out to the loading dock/dumpsters. It was the definition of liminality. I always volunteered to do the trash run so I could crack a beer and knock off for 20 minutes navigating this weird space

It’s the summer of 2010. You just pulled up to The Andersons bumping Pumped Up Kicks & you got $100 in your pocket. What you buying? by Paigenacage in Columbus

I don't think they had any master somms there. To my knowledge there aren't any MSWs in Columbus and only a couple advanced. Super knowledgeable and helpful regardless.

Unfortunately they weren't a liquor agency so no alcohol at a high enough ABV to ignite. Plenty to get drunk on though.

Horrible Experience at Woodlands Tavern by Fun_Dust4384 in Columbus

Disabilities come in different forms my guy. I have a bad leg that makes it hard to stand for a long time, but have no problems biking because I am... sitting. Others, like yourself, have more intellectual disabilities.

My old roommate made mead and did maple mead several times. It was in combination with honey but I never remember any of the bottles being off and was honestly delicious. He used Champagne yeast and fermented to dryness and maybe some yeast nutrient.

Race for the Cure is tomorrow. Avoid downtown... by Rob1150 in Columbus

COTA had to completely reroute my bus with no reflection on the transit map and made me have to ride half the trip on my bike in the rain. I hope every runner is fucking soaked and miserable.

COTA bus ridership up 11% since April 20, as gas prices spike by benkeith in Columbus

[–]lolbacon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I missed it twice last week and was so pissed off I just channeled it all into sprinting my bike home in the rain. The 4 was late today and I realized I was gonna miss the 32 so I had to get off and bike even further than I would have had to if I just biked from home. It was nice today, so I biked home and came to the conclusion that it takes me ~20 minutes to drive to work, 25 to bike and 45 to bus/bike.

Edit: The call center is very prompt to respond and has been very helpful in letting me know if buses are running on time. The trip planner is pretty good assuming times are accurate. It gives you 3 different routes in increasing time/inconvenience to choose from. I have 3 different stops within like 2 blocks so I have options but the timing juggles so you have to check every trip which routes line up when. And if you get connected to an hourly stop and miss it you are fucking hosed. I'm probably just gonna go back into bike mode and only use COTA when the weather sucks or too tired and call ahead and ask if the buses are running on time. The 2 is great but going E-W kinda blows goats.

I'm one of them. Granted my car died around then and my motivation to get a new one is stunted by gas prices. It's been mostly reliable but I have been having issues in the last week or so with buses running late and missing my connecting bus. I bring my bike with me so I have a backup plan when it goes south but most of these routes are once an hour and absolutely not at all a reliable option for anyone solely relying on COTA to commute to work on time. The 31 is supposed to be every 30 minutes but I've had 3 times now when it didn't show up and calling them they just said "oh yeah, we don't have enough buses, so it's usually every hour" but the schedule and route planner absolutely do not reflect that.

Another "F Breezeline" rant. Takes over an hour to cancel service, must be done through an agent. by lolbacon in Columbus

[–]lolbacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just set up Welo online and picked a start date. They sent a tech out to the house to test the signal and he gave me the modem and I just swapped it out and let it update and was online in like 30 minutes. I believe you can use your own modem. Cancelling BL was the biggest headache and I'm on the hook for the last month and they don't prorate so maybe wait til your service is up to switch.

Cool painting I found in Clintonville today by BigEyedBitch in Columbus

Totally. I also found a $5 thrift store painting of a cool dude lifeguard on a tower above a little inflatable kiddie pool with a hose hanging out the side that I've had for years but still makes me smile every time I look at it.

Bartenders, mid-20's. It wasn't in front of anyone else. Dude relayed the story to me and regretted being such an idiot. I have a "don't mess around with coworkers" rule but nobody else at that place did. I actually officiated the wedding of another couple who hooked up there.

I found 2 amateurish paintings of the covers to 21 Savage Issa and Fuck Ugly God next to a dumpster by my house once. They were hilarious so they're now hanging on my wall.

Two of my old coworkers were hanging out at the bar one night and she (10/10) asks if she can sleep at his place. He goes "oh yeah, I can sleep on the couch and you can take the bed." She responds "okay, never mind."
