“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”

LOL

The thermoplastic installers got it right, these are supposed to look like Yield signs.

Not that any drivers know what they mean. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“When the people and institutions that are funded by tax dollars simply choose to stop doing their job or disregard elected civilian leadership at the local or national level, we cease to have a democracy. If what it takes to get police who are well paid to do their job is a veto over democratic elections, then we no longer have a democracy” https://www.sfexaminer.com/forum/san-franciscos-former-da-chesa-boudin-reflects-on-recall/article_36ff9c7a-03fa-11ef-9187-bfb40d473c0b.html

“Those who still protest safety improvements to West Portal know no shame and keep grousing about a supposed loss of parking and their need for "more time" to analyze what they claim is a rushed plan.

@rollovereasy hey so SFMTA has a survey for the West Portal safety improvements — really important given the big boomer car energy against removing [checks notes] two left turns

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

“The team discovered that a single chip responsible for storing a portion of the FDS memory — including some of the FDS computer’s software code — isn’t working. The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety” https://blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/04/22/nasas-voyager-1-resumes-sending-engineering-updates-to-earth/

They're making announcements at Jack London Amtrak station that there's a system wide delay (I don't think 🤞 my train is affected) that because of a stuck drawbridge, wondering where that would be. also this is the closest I've ever been to missing a train (other than the time we missed our stop and were carry-bys).
