Philadelphia Greyhound Terminal

The Philadelphia Greyhound Terminal is the primary intercity bus station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at 1001 Filbert Street in Center City Philadelphia, near the SEPTA Regional Rail Jefferson Station and the Fashion District Philadelphia shopping mall, a few hundred feet east of the Pennsylvania Convention Center and Reading Terminal Market, a few hundred feet south of the Trocadero Theatre and the south edge of Philadelphia's Chinatown district, and within 1/2 mile of Independence Mall, the U.S. Mint, and City Hall. The station building, which underwent an interior remodeling in early 2007, is relatively small and nondescript, belying its importance as one of the busiest, long distance, bus-only terminals in the United States. As of 2013 the terminal was the 4th busiest Greyhound bus station in the U.S.[1]

gollark: Ah. I see.
gollark: <@&198138780132179968> <@270035320894914560>/aus210 has stolen my (enchanted with Unbreaking something/Mending) elytra.I was in T79/i02p/n64c/pjals' base (aus210 wanted help with some code, and they live in the same place with some weird connecting tunnels) and came across an armor stand (it was in an area of the base I was trusted in - pjals sometimes wants to demo stuff to me or get me to help debug, and the claim organization is really odd). I accidentally gave it my neural connector, and while trying to figure out how to get it back swapped my armor onto it (turns out shiftrightclick does that). Eventually I got them both back, but while my elytra was on the stand aus210 stole it. I asked for it back and they repeatedly denied it.They have claimed:- they can keep it because I intentionally left it there (this is wrong, and I said so)- there was no evidence that it was mine so they can keep it (...)EDIT: valithor got involved and got them to actually give it back, which they did after ~10 minutes of generally delaying, apparently leaving it in storage, and dropping it wrong.
gollark: Someone had a problem with two mutually recursive functions (one was defined after the other), so I fixed that for them. Then I explained stack overflows and how that made their design (`mainScreen` calls `itemScreen` calls `mainScreen`...) problematic. Their suggested solution was to just capture the error and restart the program. Since they weren't entirely sure how to do *that*, their idea was to make it constantly ping their webserver and have another computer reboot it if it stopped.
