Wednesday Schmendsday
- Thread starter rideit
- Start date
up at 3 leave for work at 0345 off work at 10am and on vacation until Monday I can deal with that
Well this is bullshit but I guess it is marginally better than living under a bridge and shooting fet into my eyeballs to pass the time.
Hello! Me and my hairy nose survived another commute yesterday. Got a bit spooky on the road but I love the bike path. Takes about the same amount of time as the car depending on departure time, so that’s cool.
We’re headed to San Fran in a couple of days. Any suggestions? Doing MB aquarium, Alcatraz, the redwoods, and Santa Cruz BBw.

Surprised yesterday's GMT didn't have any eclipse photos in it.
We took part in the Great New England Migration. 2.5 hours to get there, 9 hours to get home. But still awesome to witness.

My potato camera wouldn't do it justice, so I just looked with my own cameras built into the dome piece.
But you got some very nice shots!
Nice shots, BV
/me sacrificed some sleep for more money by signing moonlighting cases at 12:10 last night and 5:57 and 6:01 this morning
but as it reduces my workload today on this understaffed day I figured why not, as this way I get paid for my heroics at least

japanese gardens in golden gate park by the de young.
'mornin all. drippy one here today and tomorrow.
Starting to finally look like a house pad, will def be done today. D3 is nice but not as strong as a old D5
Okay, so if you’re not going to build a pump track where are you planning on putting the Grotto ?
Good morning and all that bullshit lmao. I slept in, then ran 4 miles on the rail trail. Looks like the Boston Marathon Monday will be a touch warmer than I like it, but that should be offset by a steady 15 mph tailwind. The course is point to point, west to east. Once in a while the race gets lucky and gets a westerly tailwind.
I hope you splashed coffee everywhere, smoked 6 packs and fart blasted the seat, you know, to properly break in the rental.
biked into the office for the first time since the elbow surgery. feels good. it's such a nice bike ride too, it's really too bad we'll be moving offices over the summer.
My work here is done. Now no one breathe on the excel file.
Code:
=IFERROR(IF(U3="Yes", G3 * 0.5, G3) * IF(U3="Yes", IF(H3="Low", 0.5, IF(H3="Moderate", 1, 1.5)), IF(H3="Low", 1, IF(H3="Moderate", 2, 3))) * IF(I3="Yes", 0.5, 1) * IF(J3="Yes", 0.5, 1) * IF(Q3=0, "", Q3), "")Why they moving? Off the river?
morning. morning. morning.
new linux kernel zero day dropped. fun for all those that practice.
weather is definitely spring sprong sprung
I should get out there and exercise at some point.

if you mean Big Basin, then you're on the right track so far as Santa Cruz County is concerned. I strongly recommend the croissants at the Whale Bakery Cafe in Davenport. And the beach there is very nice. Don't fall off the cliffs into the ocean as there is a very low survival rate for that screwup.
the reason they gave us is that this building is leased, and they are trying to consolidate us into fewer buildings since we are in the office fewer days... That part makes sense, but what's infuriating is that instead of consolidating us into buildings serviced by rapid transit (Ottawa just spent what... $2 billion on a new light rail system?!), they are pushing us out to areas with no transit service... fucking drives me nuts. idiots.
I'm guessing the bigwig govmint peoples signing off on this don't even work there. Do they even live in the city?
That sucks.
Are you being moved to some industrial park type boring place? I'm guessing no bike paths or trails to get out there..
You can get a one man helicopter for $70K and it qualifies as an ultralight and needed no licensing.
well... it's partly down to the decentralized nature of government administration. these sorts of decisions are made not by the Department (in my case Environment and Climate Change), but by Public Services and Procurement (responsible for public works and real property). The thing is they have different priorities than us. Also, "Scope 3" emissions aren't captured by the recently announced Greening Government Strategy, and PSPC doesn't even care about trying to aline themselves with its objectives. They'll do the bare minimum (follow the rules), but not a step more. It's really frustrating when even your colleagues won't make an effort to get on board with what we're trying to do. But I guess that's the nature of any big organization... What we wind up with is energy efficient buildings that staff need to drive to get to...
I'll be moving from X to Y:
it's not really super far out of the way, but there is no rapid transit going there (nor is there parking. I kid you not). There is only a milk-run bus route. In the summer, it'll take me 17 minutes or so by bike (yellow line), compared to the 12 minutes now (orange line). Currently my bike route is pretty stellar, it's all bike path, along the river, with amazing views of Parliament. It's pretty amazing by any standard. The new location will be a hassle in winter as there are no paths, and no cleared bike routes (that I know of). I'll have to go through residential streets (blue route), but it should be doable, hopefully in less than 30 minutes.
By bus, it would take me 45 minutes to get there. And I live downtown. Google says walking would take 1h10. People who come from farther afield are looking at almost 1h15 minutes by bus. Each way. The kicker is that Ontario residents can't even use their bus passes to get home because the Ottawa and Gatineau transit authorities don't accept each other's passes. it's ludicrous.
I actually used to work at that building back in 2005. I eventually quit two years later because the commute was too much of a pain in the ass. I was assaulted twice (red *s) by road ragers. Tbh, that's what's giving the most anxiety about this move... I'm worried I'll be gambling with my life again just to get to work. I'm an old man now, with kids, about 10 years from retirement. I don't need that stress. I'm really hoping cycle infrastructure has improved in the ensuing years..
I did find out that there is a ton of buff single track on all the property behind the house, so I will def have to cut in a little trail to that for the moto.
as a florida man, you should be thinking "shit, i can make my own whirlybird for under 70k" and make haste for the scrap yard.
Nah that place is 100 miles from me. Just Uber up there and fly back. It'll be fine.
A friend of mine wants a few apple bins for a raised bed garden. I told him that if I go get them and drop them at his house, he owes me free coffee for a month. If he goes with me and helps load them, I'll help him for free.
Looks like he wants to go with me. He's smarter than he looks.
