As a former pilot I've learned to be flexible. In the US, airports report time in UTC, temperatures and dewpoint in Celsius, barometric pressure in inches of mercury, runway visibility in feet, etc. etc.

The nice thing about standards is there are so many of them.

That's odd. No problem on my phone.

Can the tree and the bike both be saved?

HAWK signal.

I never remember what the acronym stands for. Also, drivers don't know what they are supposed to do when they encounter one. The HAWK light sequence confuses 95% of drivers and creates hazards for peds and cyclists.

I don’t know what kool-aid Governor Newsom has been drinking, but he seems to have been corrupted by power and polls. Like so many politicians before him, he’s lost his way.

There’s some speculation about how many bikes this shuttle will be able to accommodate. Assuming one doesn't care about scratching/damaging your bike, just take take Newman’s approach:

Clearly this bike was designed for “avid cyclists.” 🙄

When dinosaurs roamed the earth & I worked in tech, a certain Computer Associates ate the company I worked for and 99.9% of the engineering staff were shown the door. Leveraging acquisition tax write-offs and milking legacy products kept CA alive for another 25 years.

Thanks for the heads up re UpScrolled! I'd been looking for a place to post visual stuff since leaving IG around two years ago.
