Not afraid to take the path of maximum resistance. Too loud. Habitually overdressed. More responsible than you think.

Last night I took transit with people who never take transit. Everything that could have gone wrong pretty much did - missing bus that caused us to be late, a fight at a bus stop, drinks harassing them. All the things I have just gotten used to but were painful with people not used to it.

People with EVs: what home 240v charger do you recommend?
I have a Nissan Leaf. I would like to be able to turn charging on & off on a timer or remotely. I have an uninsulated, unheated garage. I don't want to pay $500.

Biking up Summit today there was a messy car crash - burning car in someone's yard, two smashed cars in the street. Fire trucks & ambulances. The speed necessary would be nearly impossible if Summit were already redesigned. #carsrcoffins

14 years ago I was deciding whether to go to my midwife appointment or take a nap. Good thing I went to the appointment because Elliot was born less than 3 hours later!
Happy 14 years to my ever challenging, surprising, and tenacious youngest child.

Sweden is great for many reasons but 1) there are silent cars on trains & busses that means exactly that and 2) even in regular trains anything above a whisper is considered very rude. No one would EVER play a video or music on their phone.
people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
