Good day, and welcome to Bus Stop - a small talk message board. Each post remains on the site for only a day, after which, it disappears. Registration is not required, and small media files can be uploaded along with each post.
If you find this place empty, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's completely abandoned. Feel free to make a post to start a discussion, perhaps someone will see it and reply!
Bus Stop is intended to be a stress free environment for talking with strangers. Try to keep a relaxed demeanor when posting, please don't say or upload anything that might ruin the other person's day.
I hope we meet again.

Bus Stop uses an extended version of WakabaMark markup code for post formatting.
The basic features are as follows:
Please fill the subject field with clearly defined topic when it's appropriate. It not only allows to browse this site like a regular image board by filtering the posts with the same subject, but also serves another purpose. Subjects have a longer lifetime than posts, it means that even when subject's thread is empty, it stays in the list for several days since the last post. In case this board is empty, this should help a new user or a person who hasn't visited the site for a long time to understand what kind of things were being discussed recently.
SJIS art can be displayed without any special formatting, as required proportional font is used on Bus Stop by default.
The basic features are as follows:
- Surround text with * or _ to make it italic. _Like this_ or *like this*.
- Surround text with ** or __ to make it bold.
- Surround text with %% to make a spoiler
- Make an unordered HTML list by beginning each line with *, or -. You can add line breaks in list entries by breaking the line and indenting the next line with one or more spaces.
- Make ordered HTML lists by beginning the first line with "1."
- Make quote sections by beginning each line with ">". Highlighting text and then clicking the post number will quote the selected text.
- Make code sections by indenting each line by four spaces or one tab. Code sections get shown in a monospaced font, and are not otherwise formatted.
- Make external links by just typing the URL you want to link to. Post references like >>0 can be created by clicking the post's number and are automatically turned into links. You can link posts from other boards like this >>>/test/#0. The first youtube link in the post gets embedded, unless the post has a file attachment.

SUPPORTED BROWSERS
Bus Stop is designed for desktop platforms and was tested on recent versions of all major browsers.
Mobile platforms aren't officially supported, which means that submitted bugs that don't happen on the desktop most likely won't be fixed.
Luckily, Bus Stop works fine in Chromium-based mobile browsers. Mozilla browsers on mobile platforms have major problems with this board's layout, that currently aren't planned to be fixed.
PERSONAL DATA USAGE

Our JavaScript code doesn't make any requests and isn't mandatory for the site's core functionality.
HTTP server's access logs are disabled. Bus Stop has a statistic system that counts unique posters and visitors by storing checksums of IP addresses in database. Internal logs contain IP addresses together with posts content in plain text for moderation purposes, such logs are stored on the server for 3 days, they aren't shared with anyone and Bus Stop's maintainer uses them very infrequently.

Bus Stop is built using the following open source projects:
Qt framework, libfcgi, cgicc, ClearSilver, SQLite3, Phantom Qt, QtCaptcha, spdlog, jQuery, Normalize.css

I'm hungry
hello :)
What small things make you happy?
For me it's coffee. I have a french press and sometimes I'll make some really nice coffee in it. The bag I've got right now is a light roast I got from Alabama.
I don't make nice coffee every day though, I usually make f*lgrs and treat myself with nice coffee once or twice a week.
That means my coffee is stale but its still way better than what I usually drink.

How do you find french press coffee compares to espresso? I usually find filter coffee a bit too watery, so I enjoy espresso a bit more personally, but I've heard french press coffee can be very good too, so I'm a bit curious.

I don't know because I've never had espresso, there aren't any coffee shops in town other than Starbucks.
French press is way better than filtered but it sucks if you do it wrong. Many people tend to press the top all the way down before poring and it makes the drink really grainy. I use this method:

If your drink is too watery just add more coffee, or get a darker roast, this image is pretty cool
