Wait, so, was a 6 train from Newark Airport to Grand Central just sitting right there on the table as an option the whole time?
There's a fine line between "I'm going to do this my own way (creative)" and "I'm going to do this my own way (stubborn)".
A 10 inch deluxe St Louis style pizza.
New York and Chicago are always arguing about whose pizza is best.
Meanwhile St. Louis is serving up this culinary masterpiece largely unnoticed.
It's a good day for some lemon pound cake!

Yeah but like, it feels like all administrations have been keeping the boot on Cuba for decades, no? Why are we in their business at all?
Like what are we still doing? Is there any threat, or is it "60 years ago we didn't like each other"?
I'm not an AI person, but I might make an exception to just have them talk to a bot.
When I kept one guy on topic, he followed his own logic and said people who couldn't afford health insurance would probably just die.
The whole coffee house got quiet with that one. I don't think he came back.
I was chatting with a Libertarian a couple years ago. He thought his contrarianism made him edgy.
I said "Yes, I know you're a libertarian, I've had this exact debate ten times with other people. It's so predictable, you all have the same opinions."
Matched the color scheme and everything.
Reddit news article: "US says it may be forced to shut down some airports over funding standoff" right above an Amtrak ad: "Traveling as a group? Ride Acela together and save up to 60%."
Amtrak getting in there with the ad placement. ππ
I spend a lot of time in Hell's Kitchen, so it's like 1/4 of my camera roll.
A trillion dollars would be enough for 100,000 people like me to say "I'm good for money, gonna go live out a great life doing whatever I want without any cares."
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE.
Pretty much, yup.
If I had like 10M you would never hear a peep out of me again.

I want to see the fan theory where Jar-Jar is a Sith Lord produced, but specifically I want to see it in buddy cop format where Jar-Jar keeps calling Palpatine βSteveβ and it gets on his nerves.
PHILADELPHIA WHAT IS UP WITH THE COLD BREAD AND COLD CHEESE?
Adobe really likes to update all its apps while I'm on Amtrak running a hotspot.
Laptop battery normally lasts all day, it's down 35% in under an hour, running 3 CPUs full blast.
It's so often just an express road to IPO where the actual product is an afterthought. Once you get close to 100M valuation you get your exit. Lather rinse repeat.
The only tech I've found that's good at predicting my interests is TikTok, and I suspect that ability will wane under new ownership.
Wait until you hear about "lemme do"
At the very least, make the walk to the actual track at least slightly dramatic.
Which architecture school is teaching that people want to walk through expansive plazas and concourses on their way to things?
Oculus. Anaheim. This... thing.
And can they please stop?
I can't. I just can't.
The platform is right there on the left, but you have to go up and down friggin STAIRS or ELEVATORS through an expansive plaza with public art to get there.
WHY.
Screenshot of Irvington BART station video, showing a massive complex that passengers must walk through. I've drawn a red arrow showing that the actual platform is right next to the entrance to the complex, on the same level, but you can't get there without a whole lot of walking and navigating stairs.
THE PLATFORM IS RIGHT HERE OMG
Up and down to a *side platform* station?
No escalators?
Did a staircase design this station?
I'm going to become the joker.
I eat almost anything, but pea protein is vile. It's like you concentrated 1000000 split pea soups into a little mini neutron star of pea.
Just regular cloth masks in the cold. KN95s are super uncomfortable.
