sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 18/01/2026That's awesome!!!

sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 22/11/2025Right!!! We had our whole family on the Red Line the other day and they made all of us re-scan our transit cards (that we had just scanned on the platform) at the front of the bus (we were in the back). Like, what is going on here. They need a little portable scanner thing or something. 030

sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Sitting at a local coffee shop where weirdly I'm the only one here, it took half an hour to make a latte, most of the lights are off, and the barista playing a playlist of Phoebe Bridgers Christmas songs on repeat. Either she's trippin'or I'm going to get murdered right? Or am I trippin'? 😅 110
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Not to be a dick, but sometimes people should feel imposter syndrome. It's just called being new to something and lacking experience; which will improve as you learn! 000
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Or, rather than relying on the largess of rich individuals, how about the rich pay their share of taxes so we can fund social programs to help each other and publicly fund elections so we can get money out of politics. 020

sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 18/06/2025"Hot" take: Summer is the worst season. I don't like sweating just because I exist. Related, it's way easier to bike for transport in the colder weather than the heat; I can get to my destination in decent clothes without sweating through 😅 010
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 03/06/2025It's been 0 days since Indiana was an embarrassment. 130
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 03/06/2025So in my opinion, best thing you can do is keep whatever car you have for now, but find ways to drive it less. And don't give subsidies for EVs, but to these other things. EV subsidies are just a give away to the car companies. That's my thoughts:-) 040
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 03/06/2025So EVs are too little, too late; but are a great marketing gimmick for car companies to essentially sell you a battery subscription (because you'll need to replace that expensive battery after awhile) while also "green washing" their product as "part of the solution". 140
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Unfortunately with electric cars, you still have a whole host of issues (most emissions from a car aren't even tailpipe emissions). To even be slightly effective, they need a clean power grid (something still missing in much of the US). 140
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 03/06/2025As a side note, I live in suburbs that have been slowly transforming to make biking safer. We can get better, but I already now use my bike to go most places. I've also seen more and more neighbors get curious and do the same! 140
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 03/06/2025I do! More than half of trips in the US are less than 3 miles (a bike-able distance) and just about everyone already has a bike in their garage as well as feet and/or a mobility device. We don't have to fix "everywhere", but we can focus our efforts on nodes of density in suburbia. 160

A freeway packed full with single occupancy electric cars is still a freeway packed full of cars. Fund the bus. Build more trains. Ride your bike. Cars are the least efficient way to move people in a city. 69723
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Amazing bike 😍 and totally agree with everything you said! EVs aren't bad per se, but they're a distraction from those other things that will have a bigger impact sooner. 110
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Web pages are a dynamic environment; if you don't know how they flow and function through CSS concepts it's going to be really hard for you to design for them. Signed, a frustrated engineer 😅 010
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Maybe 🔥 take: On the web CSS is how a design system is created; not sketches in figma. If your're a web designer, you need to design in the language of the web. 100

sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 09/05/2025wait, this makes no sense at all!!! Why would you pave over so much of a park and cut down so many old trees for PARKING in a park that's in a city with many other ways to get there besides a car? Also, it's going to be ugly as hell despite how many trees they use to greenwash their rendering 150

sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 07/05/2025The article even mentioned some people who feel be able to travel safer... so the headline could have been something like "Newly approved project set to make travel safer and easier for neighbors of all ages". That's the real story IMO, not someone moaning about parking. 020
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Why frame this as a loss? It's a successful case of the city continuing it's vision to improve the safety and comfort of all road users. Improvements like this often make a place more desirable, so it would have been a loss if the project was scrapped! 130
sprocketz.bsky.social @sprocketz.bsky.social · 26/04/2025As far as cities go, Indy to me usually feels empty unless some kind of event is going on. More like a series of office parks. I bet doubling the population would make it feel so much more alive! 010
