One of you definitely needs this for that short film about life in the distant 1990s (as imagined in the early 1980s) you’re making, right? It’s in the electronics section at Community Thrift.

What are burrito hands exactly? Adhesive Product has the answer:

An example would be having a messy burrito and having to pick at the insides with your hands. The result is guacamole and sour cream and beans all over your hands

That’s always a bummer.

Summer Is Rad just published this Craigslist oldie-but-goodie for which there are no words. No words except “pizzapits” that is.

I guess I wanted to follow that last food post with a counterargument.

Streetsblog reports:

Valencia Street’s nearly two-year-old Green Wave signal re-timing aimed at prioritizing bicycle traffic speeds continues to please street users, city leaders, and advocates alike. What started as a temporary pilot will become a permanent institution this week with the installation of four new Green Wave signs along the corridor.

“Green Waves are the most recent example of the SFMTA finding innovative ways to further improve cycling in San Francisco,” said SFMTA CEO Nat Ford.

Following examples in cities like Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Portland, the signal optimization keeps vehicles traveling at a steady cycle-friendly 13 mph from 16th to 25th streets while garnering benefits for all users.

Great! But how come this blog post is the first time I’ve noticed the signage pictured above? Maybe those need to be bigger so motorists will see them too and stop gunning it from red light to red light. Read on.

Whoa. This is my own fault; I don’t make it to Dynamo all that often. But how come all anybody ever talks about are the maple bacon one (pictured) and the spicy chocolate one (pictured) — when there is  MOLASSES GUINNESS ONE (not pictured) THAT TASTES EVEN BETTER THAN IT SOUNDS?

Anyway, now I know.
