Dana -- I recommend breakfast.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I hope they find a non-invasive way to help comfort him, Sue.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Boss opted for "Let's discuss something that the point person was totally unprepared for and has the possibility to be contentious!" So this is fun.

Dad~ma, Sue
Yikes, Jess!
Your 7am meetings are always amazing, Dana.

A company-wide webinar on machine learning is now ten minutes late, and the organizers had to send out a new link. I feel like there's a metaphor for something here.

Okay, sinuses, you win. I surrender. Back to bed.

Hivemind question. If one were to fly into Philly, is there effective enough public transit to get by without renting a car?

It has been awhile, but when I lived in Philly in the early 70s I didn't even bother to get a driver's license. Could get everywhere I needed. Amy would know better for current life.

I know a Philadelphian without a car, FWIW.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've been to Philly many many times and never rented a car -- but note that that's mostly staying in/around center city, which is very compact and walkable (and has plenty of transit options if you choose not to). Further-out places in the city are often more residential, and won't have quite as frequent transit. But overall, I wouldn't bother renting unless I knew I was going to have to be traveling around the region/outside the city altogether.
