It depends on the transit service, and how much their IT people suck. I'm pretty sure there have been multiple attempts to make standardized APIs for this sort of thing, but you shouldn't necessarily expect them to be widely used except maybe in Europe.

Do a web search for "[transit service name] API" and start from there.

Edit: My local transit service apparently publishes a GTFS feed, which may be more widespread than I assumed, but I'm honestly kinda surprised they didn't try to roll their own or something stupid like that.

Amazing how we went from every fetus is a valuable, beautiful person, to fuck the kids, let them starve.

That's not a transition; those ideas are held simultaneously. Moreover, they are not in conflict with each other, once you understand what MAGAs goals actually are.

Stop thinking that the argument you made somehow exposes their stupidity or hypocrisy or whatever, because it doesn't. All it does is reveal that you're still in denial and being too charitable about their motivations.

If you create more hungry children now, it’s something that you cannot fix in the future. The children you harm with this will live diminished lives,

Consider that "live diminished lives" implies "become more susceptible to MAGA indoctrination" and you'll realize that they know exactly what they're doing and they're doing it on purpose.

No, this is what happens when you (a) have a "allowed until proven unsafe" regulatory framework instead of a "prohibited until proven safe" one, and perhaps more importantly (b) abjectly refuse to consider any weed control method other than ones that can be accomplished by indiscriminate use of a sprayer.

I would, but that doesn’t work for stuff coming up through cracks in concrete, or through chain link fence.

For that sort of stuff, I recommend vinegar or propane. lMO the only reason to use a fancy commercial herbicide is when you need it to be selective, e.g. when you're trying to get rid of broad leaf lawn weeds without killing the grass, too. (Edit: I'm not endorsing that as a good reason, BTW, as I'm more of a !nolawns@slrpnk.net sympathizer myself. I'm just saying that it's the only one that's even plausible.)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. You have to lobby to change zoning laws to make it happen.

I hate columns like that. Everything else is kind of a (bad) choice, but those columns are just objectively wrong because masonry doesn't work like that.

Yep, but it's even more than that.

American Christian Zionism is not a pro-Jewish policy. It is about (a) getting rid of the Jews by getting them to all go back to the Holy Land, and more importantly, (b) triggering the "End Times," for which the Jews returning to the Holy Land is a prerequisite. American Christian Zionists do not give a flying fuck about Jews; they're just delusional racist death-cultists who think they're gonna get "Raptured."

It’s the newspaper doing an “allegedly” thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn’t actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.

I don't think you're wrong, but I think we should stop to consider how fucking absurd that is on the newspaper's part. The entire fucking point of a criminal conviction is supposed to be that it's been proven beyond reasonable doubt that the perp did, in fact, do the thing he was convicted for. Libel is, by definition, no longer a valid consideration.

A reporter continuing to use "allgedly" or other reported speech after that point isn't covering its ass; it's editorializing in favor of the perp or even sowing doubt about the validity of the rule of law.

Lock focus because auto focus for this kind of thing will almost always result in blurry photos

I feel like people should do that a lot more often than they do, just in general. Especially when using a DSLR to make a video of a subject that isn't moving around much.

(This is really just venting because I watch too many Youtube videos where they complain about the autofocus not working well.)
