I'm from the UK where in general there's only a stop sign if it's needed, such as a junction where you can see absolutely nothing on one side. Otherwise usually there's a give way line instead, to let people slow the car right down to look, but not need to stop if it's unnecessary....
My #wildfire#safety protocol (assuming you have done all the wildfire pre-prep earlier in the season). 1. Applies to RED FLAG or near RED FLAG (ie. windy, dry) conditions ONLY. I pay attention other times, but not as much. 2. Pay attention to National Weather Service forecasts, and READ THE NOTES. You want to be aware of direction of wind, timing, and where the biggest threats are. If it's not a RED FLAG, I am not as worried, at least in SoCal (lots of firefighting resources). (cont)
I find it disturbing that capitalism takes and creates wealth and then outsources the problems it creates to us.
I was at a restaurant (pay at counter) type, and my meal was like $35. And I had to pee. But they told me the “restroom is out of order”. But it wasnt because i saw employees use it.
Video of some guy using Apple Vision Pro headset WHILE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT OF A TESLA CYBERTRUCK is going around. (unsure on original source, but I will geolocate the location -- it's Lehi Utah, see followup). #cybertruck#applevisionpro#safety#tesla#badidea#stupid

#DOT Researchers Suggested a Way to Make Big #Trucks Safer.
After Meeting With Lobbyists, Agency Officials Rejected the Idea.
The Department of Transportation allowed #trucking lobbyists to review an unpublished report recommending a #safety device that could save lives by preventing #pedestrians & #cyclists from getting crushed under large trucks.
“PLEASE delete any mention of a recommendation to develop … any regulation,” the DOT supervisor wrote in an email.
Random #safety comment (which won't get to the college aged girl that needs to hear it, or would even be listened to): riding your bicycle/ebicycle with your hair flowing in the wind may make you feel free and happy, but if you crash on the hill out here, it will also make you #dead (or crippled for life). #WearAHelmet.
So my dilemma: I bought my eBike to help me get around the city, because I don’t have a car and our transit has been going downhill since the pandemic....
Determined a likely earthquake disaster location (in my kitchen) today, after an entire shelf collapsed full of vinegar and condiments (on my head). Plastic shelf supports finally degraded enough and had a massive failure. Luckily, no broken bottles, no injuries. (also... the granite countertop sure is squeaky clean after all that vinegar was wiped up 🤔 ). Will need to replace all of the rest of the shelf supports with metal ones, at least. #kitchen#safety
I spotted this somewhat alarming sight above a second storey window while out and about on Wallace Street in Glasgow today. I really hope that rope holding the loose keystone in place is stronger than it looks.
The keystone for the first storey window directly below it is in a similar state, but has nothing at all keeping it in place!

#Safety reminder: don't be an idiot with #fireworks. Saw the aftermath of a firework injury from yesterday (someone held a firework, which went off in their hand) and it is NOT pretty. Amazing they didn't bleed to death, wonder how many fingers they will lose.
Why are there so many stop signs on American streets?
