Almost every day I wake up and curse the auto industry for killing the interurban railroads.
120 years ago I could have walked like 300m from my house to our neighborhood train station and taken that to work.
Every fucking day, I drive past the now empty, but still visible road bed, and it fills me with longing for a country with better infrastructure...
Sadly I won't find that without crossing an ocean... (without living in a city of course.)
One day I fear @PurplePest@squawk.social is going to grow too powerful and assimilate our entire system into the Zaivemind.
Remember the "Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich" meme?

The reflective stripes on my jacket trigger the automatic paper towel dispenser in the bathroom at work if I walk close enough.
As the paper towel descends, it triggers the new automatic soap dispenser, which fires a stream of foam handsoap on a perfect arc, across the counter and into the trash receptacle built into the counter top.
This is the best thing I have seen at work in ages.

I think I need to get some leather chaps and football pads.
