Nice to see Dhaka pointed out. One of the largest, most ignored cities in the world with really interesting transportation modes. Bicycle rickshaws and CNGs are never discussed as legit transportation modes anywhere else, as far as I've seen.

Oh hey, that's the town I grew up in you're describing! Never heard it explained quite like that.

I got away from the city lights for this magical first aurora experience thanks to the existence of on-demand rental cars from @hourcar.bsky.social in my neighborhood. Thank you!

When I read an article like this or learn something about astronomers, I always think of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," by Arthur C. Clarke. This kind of science is too far beyond my comprehension to feel like anything but magic or mythology.

You may remember that in 2022, we fought to guarantee 24/7 bus lanes. Following Mayor Frey’s veto, we compromised so Hennepin could open today. I know there's work left to be done. If re-elected, I’ll work with a pro-transit Mayor like @OmarFatehMN to achieve 24/7 bus lanes on Hennepin Avenue.

Not that I know of, but it's possibly a distant relation. It's also a last name that originated in several different places in Norway.

"Critically, there is no way to know the complete scope of these stops since the government itself does not track them."

An astonishing amount of work that went into shining a light on the details in this remarkable void.
