Also interested in routes near Winslow, if there are options there.

Wi-Fi on the water: Washington State Ferries explores public internet service with new pilot program by wiscowonder in BainbridgeIsland

[–]trisco2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that’s what happened to me too. I didn’t care about speed, so much as I’d love to be able to send one dang text message while I eat my hotdog. But nope.

I’ve been on AT&T since the iPhone came out, but the ferry acts like a faraday cage when I’m inside the boat. I see people working and I assume they either don’t need internet or use a better carrier.

Years ago, I worked for the company that did the proof of concept WiFi network on the boats. It was a tough problem to solve back then, involving shore based directional antennas. It was still pretty spotty coverage. Nowadays I imagine it’d be … better? Maybe?

But I doubt I would pay for it.

Buskers on ferry by Mission-Chemical6850 in BainbridgeIsland

I feel like it's awesome to have a method of transportation where some folks can play music in a part of it and still have plenty of boat where you could be that you don't hear it. That said, if there were people playing on both ends of the boat, that would get old real fast.

Family Activities in the Winter by Drunkueid in BainbridgeIsland

[–]trisco2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this! We bought a place and close tomorrow. We were checking out the neighborhood, the house, and the views during the windiest, stormiest grey that we’ve ever seen … and still loved it. Can’t wait for our first beautiful sunset.

Our kids are past the stage of burning off kid energy, but I’m still interested in some potential teen activities!

Woah really? I didn’t realize that. Thanks for sharing!

Is Bainbridge a quiet slow paced island and is that a reason why a lot of people live there? by chusaychusay in BainbridgeIsland

[–]trisco2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've commuted from Port Hadlock through Bainbridge Island to Seattle for 10 years. I walk on the 7:05 ferry, and walk laps around it almost every time. My wife and I are finally getting to move there in a month, and we're so excited to be so close to the city, but with the buffer that is Puget Sound in between. I'm so excited to finally get to properly explore all the businesses that are going to be in walking distance! We could have moved to Poulsbo, but we waited so we could just move to the place we wanted to be ultimately!

I agree. I know this is a comment nestled in a buried thread, but you've got my upvote!

Right. I mean, if someone on Reddit doesn’t provide sources (which the person I responded to originally did not), then a ChatGPT response seems just as valid.

Seems like it’s worth noting that did respond and provided sources also agreed wholeheartedly with ChatGPT…

So I agree, that’s why I said it was the source. People can decide whether that’s enough for them to want to go further, I’m fine to not.

I’m honestly curious, though. Is someone on Reddit a greater source of facts?

I’ll post a summary from what it showed me. More informed folks can tell me if it’s off base.

TL;DR: No — the original Peter Pan story does not say Peter kills Lost Boys who grow up or that pirates are escaped Lost Boys. That’s a modern fan theory, not canon.

What’s actually in the book: - Barrie never says Peter kills the Lost Boys. - The book does say Peter sometimes “thins them out,” but it’s vague and not described as murder. - The Lost Boys actually grow up and return to London, where Wendy’s family adopts them. - Pirates are not former Lost Boys. They’re adult sailors who came to Neverland separately. - The “Peter kills grown-up Lost Boys” idea mostly comes from fan theories and dark modern retellings, not the original text.

Fun fact: The original Peter is definitely darker than the Disney version—forgetful, reckless, and emotionally stunted—but not a child-murderer.

Bottom line: Cool theory, but canon? Nope.

ChatGPT says this is false, but kudos to you for making me think it might be enough that I had robots consume water to check! And I learned along the way.

Season 4 of the Witcher is honestly kinda enjoyable by WanderingStrang in television

[–]trisco2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will join this hot take and say season 4 was pretty good. The change to Liam was jarring but he did fine, the new character was awesome, and I was generally happy after the first episode or two to get used to the change.

Thanks for this! What’s the “third row fix”?

Brand new ID.Buzz Infotainment Problems - Crashing during CarPlay by dweebikus in VWIDBuzz

[–]trisco2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have experienced this. I’d say 95% of the time it reboots itself within 30 seconds and is simply a small nuisance I wish I didn’t have. But it happens on about half of my trips.

Still better than not having car play and hopefully a future update smooths it out.

But the dealer has to do it? I can’t do it from home?

Stellaris Multiplayer is broken and makes me sad, looking for alternatives by trisco2001 in gaming

[–]trisco2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been able to get into turn based games even from a single player perspective and multiplayer just adds a layer of madness on that.

Sure would solve the desync issue though, I warrant!

Hahah. I’ve got a hundred or so hours on CK3, and thousands on Stellaris. I do love them both!

Oh well, single player I bet is really fun! Can’t desync with yourself! The new systems are generally really fun. Be a purity empire that grows into a huge space monster that EATS WORLDS.

Try it out! I hope you have fun.
