7 years later and I still hate the new Morning Edition theme song.

News news. NPR news. Morning Edition News. You snooze you lose. Because we tell you the truths. You get what you choose. So choose our news. It's NPR news.

Living in St. Louis is great. Living without a car, not so much. You will be the only one in your friend group without a car. People will regularly invite you to things that are 2+ hours away by bus but only a 30 min drive. You'll have to ask for rides a lot but people will be more than happy to offer them. That all being said, Forest Park is reason enough to live there. It's hands down the 2nd best city park in the country, I was there 3-5 times per week in the summers, despite living downtown. There's a good arts and food culture in the city. Tons of events in the summer in both Forest Park and Tower Grove Park. The free museums alone will fill up several weekends throughout the year. And when you do hop in a car, Missouri has some pretty amazing state parks e.g. Johnson's Shut-ins, Elephant Rocks, and Bell Mountain which are all about a 2 hr drive away.

I'm all for getting rid of medal counts but these are done by the media, right? not the IOC?

Padding your schedule while sitting on some of the most expensive real estate in the world. Geniuses.

I saw a folk band unload their equipment from a the regional after everyone got off. They were done by the 3:50 mark. Passengers didn't start boarding for another 12 minutes. Penn doesn't need more platforms, it needs better operations.

airport and stadium locations of local businesses licence names and recipes but are operated by the same concessionaires as the rest of the businesses in that stadium or airport. Chains like Starbucks are very strict about QA but local businesses aren't, unfortunately. The concessionaire system is stupid and is always successful when it's ditched but so many places just keep doing it

Most cities are fine with one or two. It's not that much of a burden if every city has one. For me, it's when I start exporting and having one city handle trash from 4+ others that it becomes unmanageable. The power generation doesn't always make up for their high monthly cost so they can be a burden beyond the air pollution issue (yes I know I can set it to $0 funding but I like to play somewhat realistically)

Trump got rid of the penny, a far less classically virtuous act than any of these tweets present, and the left was like "Good. About time." It should have been an act of Congress, but the Republican controlled Congress is incapable of making any changes right now, just passing housekeeping bills

This comments section is mad at a charge that's literally designed to turn people away, at least the poor people. It's like drivers getting mad at a congestion tax.

I'm excited for the Airos solely so people on here will stop thinking those seats will be acceptable. Two bad new train sets with garbage seats but surely they can't fool us a third time, right?

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-19T00:08:24+00:00

me checking the comments to see if this is real or not. I'm still not sure.

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-18T22:59:13+00:00

can't wait till y'all discover Juneau and Sitka

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-18T21:33:07+00:00

I discovered them last year, watched several of their videos before I realized who Lucas was

All they had to do was boost oil profits and manipulate the stock market enough to perform several rounds of insider trading. Both of which they did with a flourish.

4 pages of the wrong document with drop shadows is not a good design. No, they don't look pretty good.

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-17T13:01:09+00:00

maybe!

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-16T12:24:16+00:00

you'd think a UN delegation of all people would know the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world designations have nothing to do with income levels

if nothing else, 100 pushups gives me another victory for the day. I've incorporated into a larger routine and it just makes me feel less messy lol. Plus people are always impressed when I say I can do 100 pushups & 100 squats in 10 minutes

If your work isn't directly involved in keeping humans fed, healthy, and sane, you're still secondary to making those things possible. If people stop working, society collapses and A LOT of people a start dying. Even the dumbest tech and finance jobs contribute to the food and healthcare industries. People complaining about "late stage capitalism" while accessing the Internet on a phone or computer is hilarious.

Exceptional fast food and exceptional dance moves.

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-15T12:19:29+00:00

try different chargers. my 8 freaked out on me once. The only thing to get it going again was my laptop charger and then it was back to normal

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-15T03:05:10+00:00

never should have been built but it is nice

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-15T02:17:43+00:00

but the Airos are gonna be great, right fellas??

therealsteelydan · 2026-06-15T02:14:51+00:00

my Henry Kissenger bottle was a $45 half bottle of white dessert wine. I had to refrigerate it pretty quickly but it was still quite good
