the app will tell you how many minutes til your bus, and then keep updating later and later and later. it’s like being in a car with your mom and asking “when will we get there?” and she says “in 5 minutes” every 5 minutes for three quarters of an hour
The #YQL myride site (trip planner) prioritizes short transfer windows over pretty much anything else.
Which means it routinely recommends trips that are utterly impossible barring celestial intervention.

This is your regular reminder that catastrophic illness and disability is often financially devastating.
It’s not a moral failing.
It can happen to anyone at anytime.
Too many people don’t care about healthcare access because they’re sure it’ll “never happen to them”

This sounds like the weakness of principles that is a tenet of this country’s behaviour. First of all that is…unlikely. Second the Canadian economy is already going to feel the effects of the U.S.
