Only tailgated? Last week I had someone pass me in a left turn lane leading to an intersection with a stop sign for driving 30mph in a 30mph zone.

The icon for the 24th & Mission BART station being (I think) at 23rd & Mission confused me a little when trying to read the details of the map.
Just use the flag of New York City for all the languages until we get tired of looking at the flag of New York City (which shouldn't take long)?

But that pseudo name matches marker-offset, which is quite a bit older, so I'd put the "origin" of the name quite a bit earlier.

Current wait times at embassies for a visitor visa to the US:
857 days — Bogota
850 days — Abuja
848 days — Mumbai
833 days — New Delhi
800 days — Guadalajara
780 days — Chennai
771 days — Panama City
767 days — Kolkata
737 days — Lagos
731 days — Kinshasha
722 days — Nogales
This visa issue with India is an absurdity. Imagine going to get a tourist visa in New Delhi and being told the next available appointment is in 2025. Unacceptable. We need to do better.

Ah, the way @NWS_BaltWash obliquely says "well, maybe the remnants of that hurricane are coming this way", and if they do, we're going to get some rain

Can they perform basic tasks like making planning regulations and rules for infrastructure contracts?

Using fullwidth parentheses and other things that make it look like there are spaces where there aren't is pretty confusing. Maybe it's intended to be?

As I suspected, not much demand in the US:
A lack of public awareness about the shots or the prevailing narrative that the pandemic is ending might have hindered the vaccine rollout, a Yale Medicine infectious disease specialist says. nbcnews.to/3R8D7rC

I was always suspicious of the change when it went from being relatively straightforward to go from Mozilla's homepage to figure out how to get involved... to being nearly impossible.

From any reasonable scientific, medical or public health view
This policy of relegating unvaccinated ppl (the very ppl you MOST want to get a vax today) to an outdated vaccine...
Is simply unscientific, goes against any reasonable COVID response goals and is, frankly, cruel

There's reading cursive... and then there's doing genealogy research and finding records that are written in Russian cursive on the left page and Hebrew on the right page. (I'd have substantially less trouble with upright Russian than with either.)
In my dotage, I somehow assumed that students who don’t learn cursive would still be able to read it. This, from Drew Gilpin Faust, is mind-blowing. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

The old fashioned API for this is routing number and account number. Not the best API by any stretch, but much better than username and password.

The new terminal at the north end of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport looks operational, based on Google Maps "satellite" view.
Boarding a 747 by stairs from the tarmac is quite impressive, though.
(I think that was United at Frankfurt.)

The extreme case of this is Philadelphia airport terminal F, which was built to be 100% jet bridges to small planes.
It was built to serve as the small planes part of US Airways's hub. (They since merged with America West and were acquired by American.)
