There's a long thread about this ending at nitter.vloup.ch/SarahTaber_bww/s…

I once boarded a 747 by stairs from a bus to a remote gate (I think United at FRA).
Buses to the plane is quite common at gate-constrained European airports.

I went to Shōwa Kinen Kōen a few years back because their cherry blossoms are about a week behind the rest of the Tōkyō metro area, and when you happen to arrive on April 15 (2017), that's useful.

I've had similar problems, though mostly when leaving home, and mostly when the flight is early. It gets less bad when I travel more frequently. I assume it's anxiety.
I've found that, if it's not early, waiting to pack until the morning helps. (I know about how long I need.)

When you're taking photos from a high speed train, the camera's vertical scan speed matters.

Yeah, 2016-11-06, with SC, @evelyn_wara, and @kanru.

The people who kill child pedestrians tend to be repeat offenders for serious driving infractions. Big outliers in their driving records.
Cities like New York should be more proactive about seizing the licenses, cars, of people like this.
“In Midwood, Brooklyn this afternoon, 10-year-old Enzo Farachio was killed while waiting for the bus on an Avenue L sidewalk by an SUV driver who has received at least four summonses for speeding in school zones.

While North Carolina Democrats were at a 9/11 ceremony, Republican legislators overrode the governor's veto of the state budget. They had promised not to take any votes while Democrats were absent. newsobserver.com/news/politi…

Seems likely enough to be a bug that I think it's worth filing.
It also seems odd that <img> and 'background-image' would do different things; I'd have expected the difference in behavior to be crossing between dynamic SVG and svg-as-image (i.e., 1 & 2 one way, 3 different).

California remains the highest-poverty state in the country (18.2% vs. 13.2% US), per @uscensusbureau data released today.
CA also has the largest gap between official and SPM, which accounts for cost of living (+5.6pp).
It's the housing shortage.

Berlin is calling for an SUV ban after a 4x4 killed 4 pedestrians. Other cities should do the same.

Yeah, Tokyo seems basically fine, although a decent number of people didn't come to work today or came late due to issues with above-ground railroads outside of the city.
Hope you make it here soon...

I'm accustomed to Japan having very good signage for trains... but while Tokyo Station has good signs for the subways, its signs for the mainline trains (e.g., where you should go for different kinds of Shinkansen or other JR trains, or for their tickets) are very poor.

The United States is already turning away climate refugees who are attempting to enter the country under longstanding international agreements, in case you were wondering how far along we were.
Big problems on the ferry from Freeport to Florida — announcement just made that any Bahamian without a visa must now get off. This is not normal. Nornally Bahamians can travel to USA with passport and a printout of their police record. This is a mess.
