Hey crew, coming back to SF for a 4 day visit after a long absence with my kids. I know 4 year olds ride free on BART but I have two older kids who, I understand, get some kind of discount. I’d rather not buy a bunch of clipper cards that I won’t need. Do they still sell the paper ones? Or is there some other way to roll these days?

I don’t use TikTok and this video makes me feel good about the decision. Has this idiot been run out of town yet?

I think I’m gonna do it. The neighbors and I want to do a midnight speed bump installation on our block.

This is Philly so it’ll either disappear the next day or last for decades. Regardless I don’t want to spend a lot. I see speed bumps you can buy for less than $100 but they seem to be meant for driveways etc. I don’t want to do anything reckless so… anyone with experience know which of the Home Depot type would actually be functional on a street without falling apart in a week?

So… I love to bring wine back to the US from travels. I know the limit is 1L without declaring anything. I also understand they don’t care if you have 2 750ml bottles (ie two standard bottles).

That said, for years I’ve routinely fudged this by bringing 4 or 5 bottles back without saying anything.

But if I wanted to do this legally, how would I actually do it? Do I just tell the guy at passport control? Do I need some form? What would it end up costing per bottle? I’d be perfectly happy to pay my duty but it seems like eg PITA factor is really high.

Hold your anger. I don’t usually believe in “best of” lists especially when it comes to the sacred and iconic but mother of god, I popped into Dancerobot tonight and they have changed the cheesesteak game. A scrumptous mix of the traditional and the vaguely Japanese. It’s a revolution man.
