Reply to I've ridden the bus 3 times and I'm already pissed by _RetroBear

I ride that route daily. Here’s what you do:

Use Google maps to find stops and routes.

When you get to a stop, look on the signpost for the blue square that has the stop number (ex: 1234). Text “GRTC 1234” to 228-27. You will receive a text back with the eta of each bus coming in the next hour.

Caveat: though the Cary/Main line used to run every 15 minutes, it’s now every 30 due to driver shortages. But some days they can’t get drivers for all of the buses, so that adds an element of unpredictability. Also traffic delays—especially around rush hour—can put things off schedule.

Most of the time things work well though and the text message will alert you if they aren’t. Sounds like you just got unlucky.

Made broth yesterday. Used some to make a seafood hot pot and have the rest to work off for lunch for the 3 days I work this week.

Very thankful for my dog, my friends, and my bicycles without them life would be terrible. Working two days this week and looking forward to hanging out the rest of the week.

I think Goose has a uniqueness and hip vibe that is transcending the jam scene. The biggest thing to me though is Rick can sing! Same with Billy Strings. Both aren’t bad on the eyes either! Lol. UM and the others you listed are all markedly worse singers than Phish or the Dead, both of which are not known for their singing abilities. Panic shouldn’t be lumped in with the others you listed, they are as big as they deserve to be. Large following, sell out areas regularly. Also, they have shared the stage with Phish, on Horde tour in ‘92.

I'm at the doctor getting antibiotics this morning, so meh, but also will be good to get rid of this. I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year, and I've already gotten calls and texts messages with family drama that I know will be carried into dinner. Send help...

I’m already thinking about the soup I’m making for dinner tonight. It’s so cold out!

I’m planning on entering the thunderdome (Wegmans) this morning so I’m getting plenty of coffee in before I brave that shit show.

Thankful to be going into the office today instead of remote working since I just spent the last 3 days on a remote training course locked in my spare room.

What’s your opinion of Goose? Here’s my curmudgeon take - they are great and everything, but I’m sad to see Trey go on tour with such a young new band, while Umphreys, moe., Panic, Aqueous, etc. have been putting in the work for years, and Goose sucks up all the air in the room somehow. Idk, they don’t do it for me, although you’d have to be a special kind of ignorant not to realize they are pretty talented.

Reply to Chinese Food for Thanksgiving by Yugonostalgia64

Sorry brah, this place was pretty ratchet when I ordered. Ketchup-esque butt sauce with a bunch of chilis doesn't constitute Sichuan cuisine but props for the r/hailcorporate post I guess.
