Are they facing the person who decided to test the edibility of the corpse nest?

This would happen to me sometimes with home grown tomatos. Maybe it in part has to do with store bought are usually picked under ripe so they survive getting to the shelves? Or could be whatever mystery variety I was planting

And for them there is the one line, street cars, and busses that elderly and disabled people regularly use. Literally every grocery store I know of in Seattle has a bus stop within a block of it and all but like 2 are on flat ground. I feel like I’m going crazy am I missing something about what counts as walkable?

I don’t think that’s the gotcha you think it is? What do you call a 6+ hour walk, a casual stroll? You have to bring water and food when you’re out for that long doesn’t matter where you go which is why I called it a hike. I can walk for 6+ hours in Seattle and be in walkable neighborhoods the entire time with proper sidewalks, shops, parks, and near transit to head back if I don’t feel like continuing to walk

The least walkable topography is near downtown where you have the one line, streetcars, and busses. There are several transit options to get in, out, and around the downtown hills; hell the monorail is still running if you are feeling fancy. Outside of downtown you have the one line that’s being expanded every day with busses leading out from it’s stops. I won’t say Seattle has it perfect or is the best but it is undeniably one of the better US cities for walking and they’re actively working to improve it in several ways

Most of Seattle is readily walkable, I’d often go on basically hikes through the city taking 6+ hours. There’s definitely a few places that are difficult to get from one area to the next but individual neighborhoods and most the connecting areas are solid for pedestrians and bikes. Denver though holy fuck I’ve never been somewhere less walkable it’s a disaster there

Oh good. I’ve been working on a setting for some-odd 16 years now. One of the earliest concepts in it is how the galaxy is run by an AI that subtly alters interstellar communications to influence things at scale without being discovered. Love that one of my existential fears of the future gets a shot at playing out irl

Reverse image search I found somewhere saying they’re Grenadine apples. But there are several types that are pink in the middle. My personal favorite apple ever are Lucy Glo which are also pink 🩷
