When will Caltrans start adding time via transit to their freeway signs? ⏳

BART @bart.gov · 19h

Take transit.

It’s safer, better for the environment and it will support our ability to fund service and make improvements.

The Besties podcast started calling them Search Action Games which I think works really well

I just don’t trust these new-fangled LED lights. If the casing isn’t physically as hot as the emitted color temperature, it ain’t real photons!

MGA.BMF

A lime green convertible MGA, a sports car manufactured by the British company MG from 1955 to 1962. Only 100,000 of these sports coupes were produced. Today an MGA in mint condition is highly sought after by collectors. And Alaric is the rarest of collectors, seeking out the rarest of MGAs. He has heard stories, going back decades, of one particular MGA, sold in 1958 to a barrister in London. It is said that the dashboard-mounted rearview mirror of this MGA is especially well-suited for catoptromancy, or divination through mirrors. According to the legends, should a driver park the car under a willow tree at midnight, the driver can look into the scrying glass of the rearview mirror and see premonitions of the driver’s death. Alaric is willing to pay anything for this car. Any price.
