Are you headed to your house, or away from your house?
Either way, stay safe.
And if you end up on the Peninsula, let us know if you need anything...

I'd note that I'm giving these instructions from memory without testing them... because the site in question is tedious enough to use that I wasn't about to go through a round of getting a dataset. But if you want a bunch of historical climate data, NCDC is the way to go...
Then probably query for the daily summaries data at the same URL, unless you're looking for hourly. (e.g., looks like it has data for SF downtown from 1921-01-01 to 2019-10-15)

I suspect you can get the daily normals data from ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datato…

Also interpretation of European arrow symbols for things like "turn around and go the other way" or "go up/down this escalator" is a bit different from American ones. (I *think* East Asia tends to match America reasonably well on this, though.)

Now is the time
to open the box
of the air purifier
that I bought in January
when the price was (perhaps) lower
because I knew
there would be another fire
burning another part of California
and sending smoke into the Bay Area.

So I think the basic problem was that there wasn't obvious-enough signage at the escalator that you needed to go up in order to get to the departures level to get to BART.

Also cc @RebeccaForBART (mainly for @torgo's original message in this thread; I doubt BART has power over the signage inside SFO).

I guess I'm familiar enough with the airport to not need signs, so I don't notice if there are/aren't any. In any case, BART is attached to the *departures* level of the international terminal, so from arrivals, you need to turn right from the customs exit & go up the escalator.

I just replied as well -- with a slightly different take, I think.
(I saw the twitter mentions before, but I was on vacation and was trying to vacation correctly!)

Anecdotally, the comment in nytimes.com/2019/10/05/world… that Paris congestion and pollution are worse now seems spot-on; drivers seem more aggressive than even a year ago, such as by routinely gridlocking intersections. Is that illegal in Paris? Would more enforcement help?

It's more fun to change gauge and voltage *without* changing rolling stock. Forward one car. Clunk-clunk. Clunk-clunk. Forward one car. etc.

This reminds me that there are some good hikes connecting Taipei Metro terminals (e.g., Xindian to Maokong, although probably better to use a cab/bus to shortcut a bit at the Xindian end).

Google Maps thinks this is too far to walk, so therefore the fastest option must be this nonsense:

My favorite FRA incident was when the guy at security forbade me from taking items out of my bag that I knew would need to be X-Rayed separately, only to have the X-Ray guy fail the bag and run it through again with those items separated.

Shouldn't (min-width: 30em) do this today, based on the browser's default font size? If not, what's different about the feature that you want?
Though sampling different kinds of plastics in a different place gives a different result, although also not the ones we talk about a lot: mobile.twitter.com/ShaneDPhi…
