so wait, the bit bucket…
Feb. 8th, 2024 04:34 pmThe “bit bucket” – like the “bug” and the “patch” – was a physical thing? An actual physical object with physical bits in?
WHELP

Since the temporary ferry terminal walkway went down last week I’ve been checking in on this one former support column:
Why?
Because this is the last standing piece of the Alaskan Way Viaduct.
That’s why it’s located where it is – it was already there – and why the new lanes bend around it but in a way that is clearly temporary. The asphalt sections that the lanes cross awkwardly over will become large planters once that last viaduct piece goes down and they can relocate those lanes to their final intended locations.
Now that the new overhead walkway is open, they’ll actually be able to do that soon.
I wonder a little bit where they’ll put it. The rest of it went into the Battery Street Tunnel, but that’s filled up now and closed.
Which means that if they ever need to take the old viaduct out of storage and put it back together, it’ll be missing a piece and this puzzle has a lot more than 5000 pieces so it’s gonna be a doozy xD

I liveblogged the Republican vote to remove McCarthy as Speaker of the House. TLDR: Republican Plan “Crash the Economy and Blame it on Biden 2024” is on, the House has no Speaker, and can do no business until it elects a new one.
You don’t need a Mastodon account to read this thread. Enjoy?
