I like to use the Transit app to plan trips and monitor incoming buses and trains, but it's more of a suggestion than a requirement.

Well, the buses are called Metrobus, so maybe it still counts?

Or someone gross.

Don’t play music

Take your backpack off on a crowded train and put it by your feet. You may not even know it’s smacking a shorter person in the face!

Don’t hop turnstiles.

If a train is so crowded that you really have no choice but to stand right in front of the door, and you’re not exiting at the next stop, go ahead and step off the train at that stop, then stand on the platform just to the side of the door so the doorway is clear for exiting passengers. When the doorway is completely clear, 2 passengers can enter/exit at a time. When someone is standing in front of the door, it’s only one.

I don't live up there but I hate this everywhere in every situation. "I entered the door at the grocery store, 4 inches past the threshold is surely the place to immediately stop and start checking my list and getting my bearings"

No one talks on metro. It’s not like Chicago.

This is such wholesome content. Agree with everything and thank you!!!

This used to drive me nuts in Pentagon City... every dang middle school field trip!

My car yells an awful lot if the fob leaves the car, so you better have a good 40 time or you're still gonna be hit again.

This! The other day, a woman nearly wrapped her entire body around the pole I was holding. Wasn’t worth saying something so I just leaned against the wall until she got off.

Edit: was a rush hour train

Or something gross

Agreed!

I’ll add: if standing on a crowded bus or train, take your backpack off and hold it in front of you.

I'm watching you. Keep your mouth shut.

Thanks for the info, "Congryshinal Justificationz" was enough - I found some bogus documents that use the word "likelihood", which decision theorists DO NOT USE to quantify the uncertainty associated with a "possibility". Also the set of possibilities, even just from the way the redections are structured are not mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive, so it's a bullshit document. Tell someone in DC shoes that cares.

You'll find it on Brave if you type "congressional justification N++" (not C++, N++ is better language). *Compiler, not working, need technical support how do I fix a for loop inside a while loop using node.js. Please help my boss needs me to fix this broken website.*

They can reach out to the school of Management Science at Stanford to verify. It's best we don't talk further on here.

FYI, likelihood is the probability of observing some evidence conditioned on prior knowledge, it's like H(1/probability * experience) where H is the mutual information or conditional entropy, i.e., "information" (measured in nats - pronounced "nits" with a Yiddish accent).

The document wasn't written in April 2022 as it's made out to be by OD.NI, it was written by a hack pretending they used a formally qualified decision scientist.

The document was published February 3rd 2023 (2 weeks ago), so there's definitely something happening, and it's a bullshit COVED based justification of "inteliigent" *redickted*.

Can you contact Hoovy Tower to see if you can find out what's going on? I can give you the hotline number if you need it, you'll find my Signal details on my LinkedIn page, I can give you the hotline there. My phone isn't secure enough for me to be calling the queen in waiting's hotline, but I sense you might be in a position to.

If they ask who you are, just say that you have been given intelligent inspiration from someone that was briefed on the corpes mentes (pronounced in latinos) scenario, you're from Capitel Hyll and need to pass something on from someone that's in a long-term "across the bay from Cee Emm Yoo un U-AV" Experiment. Tell them I'm OK and I don't want to be identified so we don't break experimental protocols and un-blind the experiment they have put me into, as it's going to be very useful to analyse aposteriori to prevent it in future and that I'm coping OK with the very effective treatment regime they are administering me.

If N++ give you problems, contact me on that number and I'll sort them out with C++. Or just mention my name and they should go catatonic. If they are civil, tell them they need to ring me, we haven't spoken since 1995 and I have a software update for them.

Ask Hoovy Tower if they want a CYBEROPS team to defend the CHYPS ACT as well, there's a cultrue by industrialists this side of the planet of "start with a stolen product, then make it better". I can publish something that is thermo neckulear implant (not working warranty repair please) and will take the floor out of IC manufacturing, but Standford needs to be ready to a) buy all their assets as they go bust and b) stand up a new supply chain the moment I drop the mind grenade. Chip sales will tank for at least 2Q's, so tell Intel and AMD to budget for 6 and hold onto enough equity to ride out 8 Q's.

The mind grendate that will trigger the collapse in I-Cs is a market based intervention that will stop whats left of the demand side for server and desktop chips for all windows based computers for 18-24 months with a couple high profile social posts, they just need to be ready to redirect the supply chain as it collapses this side of the planet. I could also take out any BSD based demand side supply by publishing some more info, but I'd need to re-run the analysis first as it was done 10 years ago. Microseft sales in Windows 11 will take a 2-3 year hit from this, but they are big boys, they can handle it. Tell them its their tax for attacking NYSE:GOOG, and if they don't eat it we'll re-open the anti-trust case, as with the benefit of time, it appears that we were right about Netscrape crawler.

Thanks for your help. We're on the same side.

And be sure to wear white sorry about the typos / subtext.

Now choose - red pill or blue pill.

Don't look at people for more than 1.5 seconds. Any longer than that, that's disrespect, and you're liable for a beating.

• If you have time/are able to, keep a look out for parents with strollers when elevators are unavailable. Far too many times I've seen someone weighing relative safety options when trying to get a baby around the city and it is SO EASY to offer to help carry the stroller down some stairs.

• If you wear a backpack during rush hour, holding it down by your side instead of on your back (or wearing on your front, though I find that awkward) avoids bumping!

• Metro elevators will always smell bad. Be aware.

• The circulator is a set of useful bus lines but technically NOT part of the WMATA network. Tracking arrivals won't show up in Next us but the Smart trip does work for payment

Get off in the back of the bus, especially if other folks are boarding, as they can only pay at the front. Exceptions are if you’re super close to the front and no one is boarding.

When a bus arrives, peer into the window and confirm no one is getting off before you start boarding.

if you choose to sit in a handicap spot on a bus or one of the seats near the door on the metro, be aware and prepared to cede your seat to someone older or someone with a cart or a lot of bags. You don’t need to ask if they want it, get up and nod to them. They can take it or not.

The term Metro is reserved for the train. theres no special term for taking the bus so your guide is a public transit guide :)

1. if you’re standing in a metro car during rush hour, move to the center of the car so that other commuters have space to get on and off and stand.

2. if you are carrying a backpack or shoulder bag while standing in a packed car, be mindful of who is around you. ideally, flip a backpack to the front of your body to avoid bumping people with it or invading personal space (i can’t count the number of times i have been elbowed or smacked in the face by some oblivious person’s bag during rush hour).

3. if you are not boarding a train, move back from the edge of the platform to allow other commuters to get on and off their trains with ease.

EDIT: 4. be courteous and appreciative not just towards bus staff, but to all metro and wmata workers! they quite literally put their lives on the line for commuters in doing (often) very thankless work.

Don’t overspread your legs (aka “manspreading”) to the point that someone can’t sit next to you if they need to.

When using the escalators stand on the right side to allow people in a rush to walk on the left.

Yessss good one
