The train has a seating capacity of about 300 (4 coaches with 68 seats each plus there's a small business-class section in the cafe car), so reaching the latter number would require significant turnover (which can happen quite a lot with people using shorter segments)

I stuck around a few minutes after getting back to St. Paul, and counted about 185 people getting off.
I'm seeing two different projected ridership figures, 124,000 and 232,000, and I'm not sure which one is right. The former would be 170 per train, the latter 318 per train...

There's no way for me to know if that one ultimately reached the finish line first.
Here were some volunteers grabbing the ones that slipped by the net at the end

A moment where I paused to try and get a glimpse, but I walked most of the way down the course and took a few shots a couple hundred feet from the end

Aha! There's (now?) an option to queue new posts behind a clickable item at the top of your Mastodon feed on the standard web interface, rather than having things suddenly scroll by while you're just sitting there.

@inthehands Makes me think of the time I saw a "live close" sign and was pondering what "active shutting" must be until I finally realized it meant "dwell nearby"

I enjoyed @adamconover's talk with @LaineNooney, author of the "The Apple II Age," which sounds like it's much more about the social impact of the software/hardware ecosystem it enabled, rather than just being about Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs and the technical side of things https://art19.com/shows/factually--with-adam-conover/episodes/3b94653f-733f-466c-a010-e883e7c168c2
