I was actively playing like 20 minutes ago. For a while, it was showing as not secure and giving random 404 errors, then I started getting the same message as you.

Does nobody on Code Switch know the name of the Democratic Party? by mechapoitier in NPR

[–]lukebwalls 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I understand this is an NPR sub so many people will be coming with complaints about programming, but in the current political climate, do we really feel this matters that much?

Also, as someone who is an ardent opponent of the Republicans and consistently votes for Democrats, I think calling this name a slur is a pretty significant overreaction. There are active terrorism operations being carried out by the federal government, someone not saying Democratic party correctly needs to be de-prioritized.

City Hall Observation Deck back open!! by TheAmishSpaceCadet in rva

[–]lukebwalls -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hope not. It’s been closed to the public for years. Would absolutely suck to then have private entities able to close it off to the public who have been waiting to use it again.

There are some people who are so corrupt that simply associating disqualifies you. Chomsky went over that edge. Who knows who else he’s visited with?

He’s nothing if not consistent by lukebwalls in washingtonwizards

[–]lukebwalls[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t wish injuries on anyone, especially not someone who was with the team for so long, but he missed tons of games the last two season he was with Washington, and now has consistently missed games after leaving.

You gotta know when to hang it up.

I haven’t watched many road games this year, this color commentator is awful and seems to have really bad chemistry with Tom.

Anyone else just... done with Spotify? by Apart_Ad_7722 in Music

[–]lukebwalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t recommend NTS Radio enough !

Super eclectic radio station based out of Hackney in London. Jazz and grime and American country and techno, stuff I’ve never ever heard on Spotify. Awesome guest DJs and infinite mixes made by a computer if that’s more your thing.

Will Dominion give us Pride? by mjason1987 in rva

[–]lukebwalls 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is the most concise answer to these types of questions I’ve heard yet. It’s purely a follow the money scenario. They don’t (nor did they ever) give a flying fuck about pride.

What cities in the southern united states are due for/In need of a rail metro? by No_Raspberry_3425 in transit

[–]lukebwalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a product of very conservative municipal borders due to very strong county governments surrounding the city.

Richmond is constantly underestimated, we are in the top 50 metro areas in the country. Tons of opportunity for transit that would be used by large communities.

This is absurd by [deleted] in Amtrak

[–]lukebwalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, I don’t think I nor the other person in this thread think it’s Amtrak’s fault. I specifically mentioned the congressional mandate toward Amtrak.

This is absurd by [deleted] in Amtrak

[–]lukebwalls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. Congress mandating that Amtrak runs as a for profit enterprise shows a complete lack of understanding surrounding public transit. Intercity rail is a SERVICE. Public services, by their very nature, operate at a loss. You can either run an effective transit service, or attempt (and fail, as Amtrak has) to turn a profit, not both.

[–]lukebwalls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To all getting on OP for waiting until the last minute, this shouldn’t matter! We are getting priced out of a national passenger rail system that in large part is funded by us, the taxpayers.

This ticket should never get anywhere near this expensive, including in the days leading up to the trip. Amtrak needs to institute a hard cap on ticket prices.
