I remember finding out from @cinematicexcrement.com's project reviewing all the Razzies winners.

What about the Custom Finishing's kits for a tracked crawler/dozer and side boom pipelayer?
(Walthers Part No. 247-7070 and 247-7274)
(Or were you trying to avoid building those kits?)

I often think back to this passage in a 1999 DOJ study on school security; where they talk about a Sandia National Labs study that found even motivated people struggle to stay on task monitoring security cameras where nothing is happening.

So, I was looking for an argument I got in on Twitter, via my archive- Not important... I stumbled upon this old Tweet.
I got an email TODAY from this VN project, the first update in 2 years.
(I have NO idea what I was referring to, but I'll stand by the VN as a better use of $25.)

And there were the E units with red/white striped nose, that lasted into the 1990s with Metra and MARC.

Going to be honest, shocked to find out this sign at New Scotland Yard is this (1972) old.
This seems like some shit they would have done in the like 90s.
(Also VLC did NOT like trying to screenshot this. Crashed twice. Actually shocked I got a screenshot.)

Also the first window's wrong. That's a passenger seat window. Driver's window's is a side sliding window.
(That said, if this was set in the 1990s and they fixed that window, they did hell of a job. Even the way the little marker lamps look.)

We have an update from the game, Strong Bad has come away with the Ford Bronco.
He is happy, but somewhat unclear what he's supposed to do with it.

I was disappointed it wasn't also Wales, but I also told off the other founder on Twitter in 2022 after he said something that was a 'thank fuck he's not in charge' bad.
(Don't recall what, and I long since trashed my Twitter, so I have no easy way of looking.)

So incredibly, we have created a signal where if a driver should stop & stay or stop & proceed is indicated by identical aspects and the difference is dictated by a sign.
Incredible design work.

It gets better, this signal design is also being pushed for use at fire stations, as a standardized solution to that need, to replace the absolutely haphazard number of signal designs used.
Here the red lights alternating flash when a fire truck is leaving and traffic must stop and stay.

There's a specific prohibition against alternating red lights to emphasize stop signs because of the risk of this confusion with railroad crossings.
If placed in a horizontal pair, they must flash as a pair, not alternating.
