You can vote on new routes for the streetcar
  • Personally, I think the BRT was the right move (even if they kneecapped it's usefulness as a commuter line by not extending the reading line up to GE). A quick and cheap way to make our transit exponentially faster and serve people better. I'm hopeful it can get through the bus stigma, and if it proves popular those routes will be prime candidates for light rail conversion. Expansion of the streetcar though? It still just feels like a novelty unless it actually goes somewhere. Make it connect park and ride stations to destinations across the city. Give it it's own right of way or at the very least absolute signal priority (except for emergency services). Elevate it, or run it subgrade where necessary to keep its speed up. Having ridden the current iteration a ton, it seems like the ride from camp washington to the banks would take around 45 minutes, which is not even competitive with the bus.

  • Most of the routes seem ridiculous to me. Uptown is the obvious choice for ridership due to UC. The NKY routes would have high ridership, but the actual path they have laid out makes no sense. All the other ones are a play for neighborhood improvement not ridership. Though the camp washington one could get a ton of ridership if it was extended to the Northside Transit center, this would tap into a huge park and ride resource, and the highest traffic bus stop in the city.

    It seems like every other Transit plan in the city, it's built around a few peoples preferences rather than looking at our transit system wholisticly.

  • Half of recent US inflation due to high corporate profits, report finds
  • Another so called "economics think-tank" that thinks [consumer price]-[raw material cost]=[profit]. They are just ingnoring all of the other variables in equation. P&G (their biggest example) laid off a huge percentage of their workforce during the pandemic and increased the price of the products. Now they are nearly back at 100% of their workforce but everyone is being paid more. It ends up being a wash for consumers at that point. That's not even including cost of energy, cost of machine maintenance, and all of the other little things that have increased over the last few years. Nonsense.

  • Travelling for Work: Recommendations for Cafes and Food?
  • To add to what curve already recommended: Sleepy bee for breakfast, and street food galore at the Findlay market. The streetcar is free so she can ride it as much as she pleases. I also like Moxy and collective espresso for coffee shops in the downtown/otr area.

  • I'm sorry little one...
  • The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn't worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I'm the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.

  • Bluefin | The Next Generation Linux Workstation
  • Not sure if it's right, but it seems to me this is really just a bunch of preconfigured fedora instances for specific use cases with containerized packages you can mix and match to your needs. Then they slap on a bunch of buzz words to make it sound novel.

  • Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average
  • That was always Gabe's intention with SteamOS when it came out around a decade ago. He has never really liked windows, and definitely never liked the potential for Microsoft to mess with his product. SteamOS was made from the ground up to supplant windows as the primary gamer OS, we are just now witnessing the turning of the tide.

  • feat. coffee mug, standard case and microsoft foldable keyboard.
  • Does that keyboard fit in the case while closed? I don't need a keyboard with the deck often, but it would be nice to have one with it all the time for that off chance I do. The times I need a keyboard I really need a keyboard.

    Looks pretty good IMO. It was fun picking out all the Cincinnati and Middletown locations. Especially the ones in my own neighborhood of Northside.

    Pepper pod was one of the more obvious ones.

    CSR Sale

    So, I have been a solid no on this issue since I heard about it. Even more so after the whole NS debacle in New Palestine. But i think it's good fodder for discussion, and I'm open to the Yes arguments.

    The way I see it, the yes argument is purely based on the offering price. 80 years worth of the current rent would be in the city's pocket as soon as the sale goes through. 25 years worth of the proposed higher rent if the lease is renegotiated. That money could go a long way into modernizing our infrastructure. But that's it, it couldn't be used to add new infrastructure, only to augment what currently exists. So using it to jumpstart a rapid transit system would be a no go, unless it's purely based on busses and current roads.

    The no argument for me is three fold, 1. A strong distrust of NS as a company, especially after new Palestine. 2. The potential loss of revenue if we can convince NS to agree to the higher rent and/or end their exclusivity and allow more carriers to use the rail. This route could cover a big hole in Amtraks expansion plan, potentially linking Cincinnati to Chattanooga, and subsequently Atlanta by passenger rail again. Which give us federal funding opportunities. And 3. It's the only public rail left in the country.

    What are you-all's thoughts?

    Cincinnati could soon be home to another professional football team.

    IMO, the commandos had a better name and branding. But we will see if they pick up an old team name or go with something new.
