Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 18/10/2026Victoria good, Vancouver meh, New West bad, Surrey lol. That about sum it up? 161 6
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 18/10/2026Every day I empty half a pound of sand from my kid's shoes and put it in with the kitchen garbage like we're doing the great escape 030 3

Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 04/10/2026Strava is being too congratulatory about my (underwhelming) workouts recently. I need more of a "disappointed dental hygienist" vibe 001 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 01/10/2026This is correct and another negative effect TOD laws are having is to rally nimbys against transit 010 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 20/09/2026Can we at least agree that the tiny desk concert desk is actually pretty big? 011 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 19/09/2026My 4 year old has stopped asking "why" and now instead asks "how do you know that" which is definitely more ontologically interesting but still annoying when you hear it 500 times a day 020 2
Reposted by MikeStephen Schwartz @atomicanalyst.bsky.social · 17/09/2026There were many concepts for a US nuclear-powered long-range bomber. Below, the reactor modules form the aircraft’s nose and could be removed and replaced as needed, while the pilots were located above and behind in the mini-plane between the vertical stabilizers, which could detach in an emergency. 192 9
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 13/09/2026Running errands with the 4 year old: he's so helpful! Running errands with the 1 year old: I love how everyone thinks he's so cute! Running errands with both of them: I want to die 010 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 13/09/2026Petition to formalize the meaning of Boomer to "anyone between 60 and 80". There could be greeting cards that say "congrats on becoming a boomer!" 001 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 13/09/2026I'm such a film buff! (watching One Battle After Another a year after it was released in 40 minute chunks) 001 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 09/09/2026Oh good my toddler is tall enough to grab things off every surface in the house but still has the language and reasoning skills of a fish 011 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 03/09/2026I hate when Spotify absolutely nails my taste in music and starts playing a new band for me all the time out of nowhere. OK I guess I like a band called Ratboys now. Fine. 000 0
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 02/09/2026Yeah I just use a cheap VPS, I'm currently using exe.dev but there's lots to choose from for $20/month. Or just an always-on PC if you have one. 010 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 01/09/2026If you want to set something up yourself don't feel like you're stepping on my toes. I'd be happy to help or collaborate, I don't have much free time these days though 110 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 01/09/2026Oh very nice. My tool runs exclusively on the GBFS feeds, I don't want to have to pull in an additional data source. I bet you could re-create my trip counting tool, with what you have, I'm just querying the stations every ~60 seconds and counting bikes to infer trips. 110 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 01/09/2026Hey, I am tracking but they're reporting the bikes as free-floating instead of station-based so I'm not able to use the template I use for the other systems. I haven't found a way to track free-floating bikes that I'm happy with yet but it shouldn't be impossible; I'll look when I have some time 110 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 30/08/2026While they're at it maybe they can make a judgment call on Western Sahara and clear that up for everyone 210 2
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 30/08/2026Plenty of disputed place names around the world where both options are shown. This isn't a special case, it's just the dumbest 100 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 30/08/2026In the quietest possible voice: Google maps' place name policy is the only reasonable option for a mapmaker and it's not their job to protect Americans from their idiot government 120 2

Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 25/08/2026I just count the change in number of bikes at each station. Rebalancings will show up as trips and returns in my tool. Can't say for sure what's happening at that station though 140 4
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 23/08/2026I'm already tracking it but since it's not a station-based system it doesn't really work with the setup I use for the other systems. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can get anything useable out of the data available 110 1
Mike @mike.raccoon.bike · 22/08/2026Gotta just ban throttles. I have a throttle on my ebike and it's useful in moderation but I think banning them is the only way out of this 030 3
