It was costing a lot in maintenance, which I'm sure a bespoke autonomous outdoor shuttle system definitely will not.
I don't get so much of what they're doing. Almost all of this stuff is already connected and indoors, they've just created barriers to using it that way.

Oh unless you mean the tram lol then yes, I got you. πŸ˜‚ I thought the whole point of this was tram bad, expensive.

The shuttles I saw were just buses driven by humans like always.

The high Monday is 63 and the low is 21 and there's a picture of a cloud with a raindrop, a diamond shape, a snowflake, and a lightning bolt. I don't even know what the little diamond shape means. Chat, is this the apocalypse?

Always a bunch of boring ass pissy Brits in the comments but I low-key love this man and his excellent writing. Maybe they needed an Andy Rooney in their past to learn to appreciate him.

If you have not read How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr I highly recommend it. Incredible how much Americans just don’t get taught about American history

People also tend to glide over how those boycott policies further isolate marginalized groups from societal and professional participation.

Why are they being decommissioned anyway, the Caribbean is full of American munitions they should be cleaning up. I cannot stand us.

If James Patterson is co-authoring a book with Mr Beast, who is actually doing the writing? Definitely neither of them.

I gave my sib one of your rainbow T-Rex instead of flowers for a congrats gift after they directed the middle school musical (they're a teacher) and they cried.

Listened to the QAA on Clavicular and I don't think I understood enough of the vocabulary because I still don't get what Clavicular is.

now generally speaking if i write about being Iranian and then someone cracks a joke about me being a β€œgoat fucker” in response i’d say that person is just an old fashioned racist

A bearded man wearing teal gloves uses a green rubber air blower to clean a small metal type punch. He sits at a desk with an open wooden case filled with neatly arranged metal punches, while a computer monitor displaying a magnified image is visible in the background.

πŸ”Ž Rare 18th-century punches used to create the original Baskerville typeface have been digitised and released online.
Designers, historians and the wider public now have the opportunity to study the physical tools that shaped modern typography.

Did you know that Pittsburgh has one of the highest densities of union Starbucks stores in the country?

CONGRATULATIONS to baristas at the Banksville Plaza store - they just won the 21st union Starbucks in Pittsburgh! ✊πŸ”₯

Don't forget the part where he co-opts Black racism to make his point while not being Black.
