Yep. I’m so over American politics and I think the nation is headed in the wrong direction. I feel that the people are powerless against changing our trajectory. I had been considering doing a PhD abroad and this is really pushing that decision now.

I’d gone to this museum probably 5-6 times and every time it was amazing. Grateful to have the opportunity but I’m so saddened that it’ll be closing for good. I wish Gates, Bezos, or any rich tech billionaire would’ve stepped in and tried to buy it out.

Has anyone tried this yet? I’m tempted to convert my physical card over but I’m worried about my phone dying, etc.

Update: I bought an additional card (Wallet only) and it’s working well so far for the light rail. I also added in a multi ride ferry pass and it correctly** handled that as well. Pretty happy about this so far, aside from being so very late.

** The screen on the turnstile says there’s an error, but it correctly deducts from the pass and lets me through. The wallet app doesn’t actually list pass uses remaining but myorca does.

What are you talking about? I’ve witnessed it several times now at work, especially regarding programming or EE. Have you not yet suffered through a programmer condescendingly explain trivial matters to others, especially to women?

The post is obviously a hyperbole but it’s not too far off from reality.

I don’t think anybody is obsessed with it. It’s a problematic behavior in many men, enough so that it’s become a meme, particularly in the US.
