Yesterday's xkcd shows the kind of wreck I was in that made me decide to give up driving. The only one who's coming out of it happy is the assassin. https://xkcd.com/2932/

If you have eclipse glasses, you can look at the sun today and see that massive sunspot cluster that's causing all these geomagnetic disruptions. It's neat.

The I-195 shutdown in Providence shows what great lengths Americans will go to in order to avoid using a bicycle. They will literally sit in traffic for hours and cancel school instead of going for a 20 minute bike ride on a path that's largely separated from cars.

Absolutely wild that parts of Canada and the US will see temperatures up to 30°C below normal over the next few days, and it's not like January is normally warm.

The 3rd West project in #SaltLakeCity made People for Bikes' list of best new bike lanes of the last year. I'm very glad for the project because 3rd West badly needed improvements. The businesses along it are a major draw for car-free people since they're the most transit accessible big box stores in the city, but the experience of crossing 3rd West was terrible. And the project added lots of trees, which is great because there was no shade whatsoever which is a damnable sin in the high desert.

Have you ever considered what parking costs you emotionally

There's a law working its way through the legislature of #Utah that's calling for a study of how to track the purchases people make with cash. It's wanted because apparently the government already tracks purchases with cards and they want to expand their surveillance powers.

I went to a meeting where the city was hosting a visioning session on safety improvements to one of the major roads in town, and everyone was unanimous that they don't want it widened and do want the cars to slow down. That's such a different vibe from the last place I lived.

I'm loving the #MinCup23 because it's been getting minerals like #corundum and #lawsonite trending. My mother's wedding ring actually has some corundum (sapphire), so I'm partial to that one in today's matchup.

Last year around this time I stumbled upon a street vendor selling fresh roasted chestnuts and I hope I can find them again this year because I can't stop thinking about them 🌰

With the buzz that the government might relocate Abravanel Hall so there can be more stadium-oriented businesses on that block, I was curious who owned the massive parking lot next to Courthouse station. I'm surprised but not surprised.

(for those who don't know City Creek Reserve, Inc. is a for-profit arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). #SaltLakeCity

One of my coworkers has never seen remote desktops before and I think it must be breaking their fundamental understanding of what computers are because it's a struggle teaching them to use it. #watercooler

I don't know why the state of #Utah is bound and determined to build a port on toxic, sensitive wetlands when there's plenty of toxic, hyper-low-density industrial land around Magna. Heck, the Church has an enormous empty plot right next to the UP Intermodal. Let that be your port.
