Traffic Calming 101 should be taught in all civil engineering college curriculums.

[Dee @heal_eos]

But maybe traffic will lead to change 😈

Friends with no checked bags taking CLEAR + TSA Pre, go to doors 23-27 (checkpoint 4 until 10pm) or all the way to door 1 (checkpoint 1 until 5:30pm).

Godspeed.

For all Seattle has going for it in transportation (*cough Boeing*), the airport layout is ironically bad.

When will SEA expand enough so I don’t have to walk past miles of counters to get to mine?

(See SFO left, SEA right
Red = counters
Blue = people lines
Purple = security)

[Dee @heal_eos]

I don’t need to be dropped off at the United drop-off only to realize I need to walk to the other end of the airport for the CLEAR TSA security gate.

I guess they can’t say it out loud in case that drop off gets congested given the current building design 😓

[Dee @heal_eos]

??? How does that even make sense

Just learned about how Chicago sold the rights to all of its parking meter revenue to the UAE for $1.1B in 2008. The city is currently collecting ~$150M/yr (and growing) in parking meter fees and then sends it straight to Dubai... Until 2083

What the fuck

[Dee @heal_eos]

@3_under_scores_ @A_XENOP Is it economically scalable?

I will be skeptical of your matcha if you tell me it’s already sweetened 🙂

I wonder what the Seattle version would look like.

Maybe the communal spaces are where people get sun if their units don’t have windows to the outside.

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

The largest office-to-residential conversion in American history, at 25 Water St., is almost done. (1,300 units!)

Includes affordable apartments. Rents as low as $1,166 for a 2-bed.

We need to do this in many, many more buildings.

Surely the amount of sparkling water we consume is NOT healthy.

p53 is a gene that helps protect you from cancer. Most people have two copies of p53. A small number of people have only one working p53 gene and they are 70% more likely to get cancer. Elephants, despite having many more cells than humans that could turn into cancer, have lower cancer rates than human. Elephants have 40 copies of p53. Let’s get a taste of this tumor suppression for ourselves please. Humans have a lot of room to improves on the genetic hand we have been dealt.

Smart people learn from everything and everyone, average people from their experiences, stupid people already have all the answers.

I got 25 cents every time I washed the dishes as a kid and remember the joy I got counting the money, depositing it at Wachovia, or buying cute erasers.

Slightly unrelated, but brought back happy memories.

This Pennsylvania barbershop is helping children build their confidence, paying young customers $3 to read stories aloud while getting a haircut deserves unlimited retweets..

Out of curiosity, how contentious was it to remove the viaduct/double-decker highway?

[Dee @heal_eos]

This transformation from a double-decker highway to a pedestrian friendly waterfront is absolutely incredible.

Kudos Seattle! 👏

The American medical system is so laboriously clunky it’s painful. Literally.

Building community is hard, but free/cheap food and some entertainment in a chill space seem to work wonders.

Research says it takes 4 days to recover 1 hour of sleep debt…

Is it time for the 10 hour sleep life…

Portland:
* more pedestrian-friendly urban planning
* shorter buildings + spaced out
* feels intimate and walkable

Seattle:
* has hills and more car-centric
* taller buildings + denser
* more commercial and less intimate

[Dee @heal_eos]

I wonder why Portland’s downtown feels way more approachable than Seattle’s.
