Definitely lucky.

The city I currently live in is making a HUGE push for public transportation. Fixing roads, adding a ton of bike lanes, lighting up paved trails thought the city, adding train station stops, free parking garages, and MAKING ALL BUSES FREE FOR EVERYONE. You can even call a bus to come pick you up. Its actually insane what they have done in the last year or two.

Not moving anytime soon thats for sure.

I am American.

I have moved to a place that has a grocery store within 5 minutes of walking and is a GAME CHANGER for me.

The last place I lived at, 30 min drive to the grocery store in the other town. Yes, there were not grocery stores in the town I lived in.

In college, I had to walk an hour (one way) to get to the grocery store. Which was technically about the same time as busses, since every stop was an hour wait.

When I was traveling, stopped in Bakersfield because its the only place in that God forsaken area. I was eating a burger and saw a book store across the street. But it was a very busy street, and I didn't see any crosswalks. So I pulled up google maps, and low behold, 15 min walk to get to the bookstore that was literally across the street from me. 5 min drive.

Yes US's infrastructure is just that bad. You are lucky if you get sidewalks in rural areas.

The most important part of the day really.

Fun little project. Sure it is probably impractical, but you decided to try out an idea you had.

Honestly that's exactly what I come to the internet for, to see little personal projects. Who cares if they work or not.

I am sure you were at least entertained through the cold, and that is something a heater would not of done.

I'll have to give it a try.

Off topic, but WHY THE FUCK in the 10 years of VR gaming there is ZERO Tron games? Like????

Hi, just joined today. Already love it! I somehow get more interaction on here than I do on reddit.

Definitely looking forward to small communities again.

Yeah no robber is doing this.

Stalker yes. But most people don't get stalked.

And this is coming from someone who thinks any bumper stickers that contain any words is trashy.

Hi! My partner is a middle school band teacher. I have been trying to find anything that is music related for her so I can help her classroom workflow.

Any recommendations? Because I honestly can't find anything good. I will check out Sheetable soon.

Yeah, as a past tax accountant, I wouldn't count on it.

Because not only would you need to be updating tax regulation every year (which is completely unpredictable with new laws and interpretations) you would also need to update it for every country and state/providence.

No one should do that for free.

As an amateur hobbyist, I am so glad I found out about docker with github projects. Holy shit made my life a lot easier.
