I just got this incredible USBC case for my old phone and I love it, but my one complaint is it is so glaringly obviously designed by a left handed person. the sharp corner right in the palm of my hand and the cable in the way when I hold it are both not very cash money

did you know if you try to rent a @divvybikes.bsky.social bike, and it is stuck in the rack and won't release, the company will just charge you for a 24 hour long ride before maybe refunding your ride later? literally upwards of $200? and there is nothing I can do to prevent this from happening?

some very deceptive clues from our final hiding spot. the sky view showed almost nothing. We could not legally see entire trees from our spot either.

our final hiding spot was also at the edge of the area. When we got there I immediately looked for spots west of Western to see what was in bounds. We found an alcove / stoop off of 35th that was a bit risky but at least couldn't be seen from the east.

at one point early they did a 3 mile radar question and we baaarely skidded out of that line - 3.1 miles. 35th was the only stop on the entire line in bounds - leading them to check several other lines first

The 53 and 53a both turn down a continuously congested street to get to a small terminal lot, requiring lots of unprotected left turns. Both the Pink and Orange Lines have bus stops / turnarounds built in. Extend at least one bus to its next station, and it saves tons of time for minimal cost.

Yeah, the economics and control are very good reasons injections make sense. It's a better method overall I think, I just think there are tradeoffs.
