Biking, walking, and taking the bus in Providence Rhode Island | Dense housing advocate | I think about plywood boats and mushrooms he/him

Ask me about systematics or plant diseases
As per usual

@ripta.com could the 22 just shift it's schedule 7 minutes earlier and then the met kids on it would be on time for school instead of just late enough to ding them on a tardy

Property values for those two zip codes are about what id expect though, rent is a complicated metric because zoning restrictions in the burbs tend to keep the densities so low you'd need higher rent to cover building costs even when land and property values are lower

It's running about 6 minutes late @ripta.com if you're curious. We're not getting stop announcements cause the GPS is off.

Unfortunately it means this doesn't show up on my "on time/in deviation" pie chart

I hope it's just cause 1315 is an old bus and not because I keep complaining about this bus

Bus is not quite 5 minutes late yet, hit I'm not sure how late it'll be, since mysteriously today my northbound 22 does not have its GPS transponder on @ripta.com

The southbound one does though and it's uh real late

Another one (pantograph is down so we get a different graphic today)

Maybe I'll start a thread for records keeping. After the cuts to @ripta.com this 22 is the only bus we can take to get my kid to school on time in a reasonable way. But even then it's usually so late now my kid is still late to school. This will be the case today

We can all get together and play the "where are the municipal borders" game

Indeed in some intersections (where the traffic signal is facing the wrong way) it's the only indication cyclists have to go off of.

Drivers get real mad about this, like it's a personal disrespect to them, but like what do you want

The stove in question

Ok so maybe the upper racks in the bike room are a bad idea with trekking bars

I was doing this 10 years ago using a home built thermocycler running on an Arduino in a Tupperware plugged into my field truck's cigarette lighter!

So uh is minipcr hiring consultants?

It's not because the 22 is running early
October 20, 2025 at 12:19 PM
@transit.app lately has been really really pessimistic. Like right now it's saying I'll need to wait 56 minutes for a bus with 53 minute headways

Something seems to have changed with the time padding on @transit.app, I'll be at the stop knowing a bus is a few minutes out but if I pull out the app it will only suggest buses way in the future. I took my screenshot a little late but it was still suggesting this when the 22 was 2+ minutes away

It's no train but it gets me to Worcester!

They just think they can lock up anywhere

These rental bike people are so inconsiderate

TBH if they split again on that same logic now it would pretty much be the division I want

I was gonna liveskeet my walk in this morning to show all the shit blocking the sidewalk but it's rubbish day in south Providence so it just would have been this picture 500 times
