tl;dr because of toxic masculinity

It's macho to eat lots of red meat, get high cholesterol, and die early from heart disease.

I understand the concept of riding a bus being free time to read or use the phone, but my experience for my commute has been standing room only for an hour.

I would love to be able to use an e bike to get to work, but I don't like biking next to cars on anything more than a 30 mph road.

There are lots of infrastructure barriers to other commute options because auto makers dumped so much money into making sure it's that way.

I think this study is good at what it aimed to do - look at how low income people use public transportation and how that increases if there is no fare.

I'm interested in how do we get middle class folks to take more public transportation. I like to think that I'm progressive, but I'll admit I currently lean a bit more liberal than leftist. When I look at the value of my time, public transportation doesn't make sense. The current fare is a fraction of an hour for me, but it's going to cost me twice as much time to take the bus versus drive a car.

One option would be a bigger stick instead of more carrots. If the monetary cost of driving my car was greater than the equivalent time value of taking the bus, I would be more inclined to take the bus. If there were other options to decrease the time cost like light rail, I would also be more likely to take public transit instead of drive. Unfortunately, there is a vocal population who has been rallying against light rail where Iive (Vancouver, WA to Portland, OR).

I want ranked choice voting, or some other alternative to first past the post.

 

I'm going to try building a couple of pvc/measuring tape Yagis, one for 2m and one for 70cm. I have a basic understanding that the satellite (going to try ISS voice first) will be at a certain compass direction and angle above horizon. I think my main question is the beacon. I tune to the beacon signal and start hunting for the satellite, what am I listening for? Any particular Homer advice?
