“I'd suggest, yet again, that we start designing streets to force drivers to go slow and to make it so reckless drivers crash into things before people... Instead, any effort to narrow lanes and do things that would actually force safe behavior is immediately vetoed by SFMTA and the city” https://sf.streetsblog.org/2024/03/19/commentary-the-west-portal-tragedy-and-the-unfathomable-cost-of-motordom

dear east coast people: we of the west coast feel your smoke pain

• go to Lowe’s
• buy a 20” box fan
• buy 4x20”x30” Filterete 1900 filters (the blue ones (20” is the important measurement))
• buy wide painters tape (blue matches nicely)
• make a box out of the filters (arrows pointing in)
• tape the box fan to the top of the filter box, air blowing upward
• tape the corners of the fan grill so you don’t get backflow — stick a piece of paper over the corners and it’ll be obvious

“However, as a side note: don’t be tempted to just lock the top tube to the rack. As locks get more resistant to angle grinder attacks, thieves will just start cutting through the racks. So make sure you lock the bike in a way that will at least stop them riding the bike, without cutting the lock too” https://thebestbikelock.com/best-u-lock/hiplok-d1000-vs-litelok-x1/

nice designs but with any real political leadership this would have been the initial implementation

would like to see more permeable pavers and swales instead of painted pavement

I can think of nothing better than city where parks eat streets

“We’re proposing a “bulb out” or park extension that extends into 11th Street to add 3,337 sq ft of public space to this new park”

“In New York, as in the rest of the US, the norms is that not only is design done with consultants, but also the consultants are supervised by another layer of consultants. The generalist leadership at the MTA doesn’t know enough to supervise them: the civil service is small and constantly bullied by the political appointees, and the political appointees have no background in planning or engineering and have little respect for experts who do” https://pedestrianobservations.com/2023/10/06/the-mta-20-year-needs-assessment-reminds-us-they-cant-build/

“A Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm is LIKELY - possibly as early as later today and continuing through the weekend; exact timing remains somewhat uncertain. At least seven
earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are in transit

Only three Severe (G4) geomagnetic storms have occurred so far this solar cycle (since 2019); the last was a brief occurrence on March 23. This is SWPC's first G4 Watch since 2005”

ok this Washington Post article is pretty stupid, barely mentions California’s astonishing utility scale battery installations which are already at 6GW and will grow to 52GW https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/04/22/california-solar-duck-curve-rooftop/ https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/california-electricity-data/california-energy-storage-system-survey https://www.publicpower.org/periodical/article/california-has-nearly-doubled-its-battery-energy-storage-capacity-two-years
