laura lemayParking squid!? Parking squid!! For bikes! 🚲 🦑
myrmepropagandistThere are many ways to park a bike on a bike rack, in NYC things get a little... extreme. Have you ever heard of the "Hunter College Method" of bike parking for S racks?
Normally on an S rack each bike gets a loop. In more extreme circumstances you have bikes between each loop too.
But at Hunter it's one bike on each side of the loop, one in the middle ... then from the other side yet another on top of each loop.
You learn the method or you don't get locked up and to class on time.
Maaaan I miss teaching college sometimes. Too bad they don't pay anything at all.
Like ... I could have done better bike messaging than teaching. IDK how they staff the classes. Although, if they let me teach mathematical stats again I'd prolly do it.

@futurebird @lemay i interviewed at Columbia for a programming job years ago (like mid 2000's). Like a "I'd be in charge of architecting a new system" kind of job. but then the salary they offered was....well more than I made as an administrative assistant in 1993, but less than what I got paid as a perl scripter in 1996. unfortunately not competitive at all with even a bottom-level tech job at any old back office operation
