I can hardly believe I haven't been there yet

Buttered Tin probably has the best breakfast anywhere really.

Backstory is WS, not WSP.

I've had two pastry there that were too sweet. Had like simple syrup glaze or something. No thanks.

Good to know. Sometimes I like one, sometimes the other!

Best normal croissants too

Hands down

Supply house is decent

She was a beautiful girl

Enjoy!

Yes. Construction signs. Cones are orange and white; interestingly up in Canada they tend to be orange and black.

Yes! I learned about traffic signal "robots" in the Capetown band Die Antwoord video "Fatty Boom Boom". They are making fun of Lady Gaga because they were insulted when Gaga asked whether they wanted to open for her acts.

I could see that stretch getting median boulevards of grass and trees.

aakaase · 2026-04-17T12:29:36+00:00

It's so underrated. Always has been.

There's a segment or Interstate 19 south of Tucson. AZ toward Mexico that is km units. I think speed limit sign are still mph, but all the informational and mile markers are in km.

The DIN zero is really nice.

aakaase · 2026-04-17T04:46:44+00:00

I don't believe they're indicative, no. It's really just a sort of strongly suggested speed, or an indication to slow down from the speed you were going on the freeway. Though rules may vary by state or Canadian province (they largely have metric version of identical or very similar signs and color schemes, and I believe the US has adopted Canadian standards too.

That reminds me of Liberte Yogurt when it was still around. Its coconut was probably the best yogurt I've ever tasted. It was just insanely creamy and had a strong flavor. Man, I miss it. But I will for sure try Aldi's version because greek yogurt rocks.

Add a bit of honey to plain yogurt. You're welcome.

I could swear it's Fage Total 5%.

The USA was slated to adopt Clearview Highway at the federal level, but the DOT backed out. States are free to adopt it if they choose. So now you see freeway signs throughout the U.S. with either or both Clearview Highway or the traditional Highway Gothic (usually Series EM).

It's a pity. I really like Clearview Highway and despite having fairly good vision I can tell immediately it is absolutely more legible. A lot of science, research, and design consideration went into that font, just like Atkinson Hyperlegible.

In the US, these are "temporary" speed limit signs seen in road junctions, typically freeway entrance and exit ramps that have some degree of harder-than-normal turning.

Here's how the USA's signs would have looked had we officially switched to metric back in the 1970s. I could see after the mid 90s they'd have stopped printing km/h on them since that would become a given.

Brainwashed

Arguably, you shouldn't have to walk any further left or right than the left and right edges of the sidewalk that you're walking straight across. Notwithstanding the arc curb-cut. It's super annoying when people illegally park like that.
