First thing I thought of is if cops are driving EVs, it's a great time to embark on a life of crime. They'll never catch you! The battery will die before the cop even drives 10 feet.

2nd thing, the caption says "Massachusetts", then specifically "Boston". Then why does it say "NYPD" on the door of the cyber joke?
 
Saw something strange in the early morning last week.
looking up at the night sky, a saw a line of , what looked like, stars directly above.
i remembered that musks starlink had lines of satellites across the sky for starlink use.
one by one the started moving east at a rapid rate.
I looked up starlink sightings, and they all showed the string of satellites moving together in a line.
no posts or pics of satellites moving one by one.
I was under the influence of coffee, nothing else.
anyone else with a similar experience?
 
I'm surprised that the Cape Cod mall is fairly busy right now. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see brick and mortar stores staying afloat. It's just that in the past, the only time I ever remember any mall being this busy on a week day is from October through the first week in January. We're well past that now and this place has been unusually busy everyday this month. Maybe Amazon is not everyone's mug of coffee after all.
 
It seems like the weather on the Cape has fallen into a peculiar pattern which includes the presence of an inch or less of snow on the ground. We keep getting a little bit of snow at a time, more is due tonight. Then, most of it melts and a little more comes. Not a complaint on my part, just an observation. It's now my 6th year here and every single year has been a very different story from the rest. Good place to live if you like completely unpredictable weather.
 
I was under the influence of coffee, nothing else.
Was it a caramel/chocolate double latte from Starbucks?

In 1938, ice in the river collapsed the Honeymoon Bridge in Niagara Falls. The design was partly to blame, the ends of the arch went down into the river bed. The force of the ice pushed the arch away from its base, resulting in a major collapse.

Some more reading and some historic pics in the article below:

 
It's a very difficult process to become meaningfully "ignorant." It is a path to bliss, but few want to endure it.

Modern life doesn't want or permit people to become ignorant. It often feels like "news" travels mysteriously with the ether - it's pretty hard to avoid.

REF:
IGNORANT: unaware, uninformed
Ignorance is temporary; a lesson or two fixes it. Stupidity is forever. I propose a new spelling for 'stupid': Thoopid. Just look at that word! It looks like what it means-no dictionary definition required.
 
In my travels today, I saw something quite interesting. A Salvation Army box truck passed me and it obvious that the right side door had been replaced. Their motto "Donate Goods" would have been divided between the 2 doors, but the half on the left door was there and the half that should have been on the right door was conspicuously absent leaving the words "Do Go". "How appropriate" thought I as I watched him drive the truck after accelerating reasonably and then proceeding to do approximately the speed limit of 30 MPH, thereby setting a fantastic example for other drivers. Most people either get from 0 to what ever speed they're going for (usually well above the posted speed limit, even when lots of pedestrians including small children are present) as quickly as possible or they crawl. They take over an hour to get from 0 to about half the speed limit which is probably more dangerous than speeding in the Grand scheme. It's good to know that there is still that 1% of drivers who do the right thing.
