IMHO, BART installing a station at SFO was kind of a mistake, since it's this weird slow zone where trains have to reverse direction to continue onwards.

Then there's that weird nighttime split of the Yellow Line where "shuttle" trains are used solely to get people between SFO and Millbrae, while signage from San Bruno to Pittsburg Slash Bay Point advertise southbound trains as going all the way to Millbrae when they actually terminate at SFO. (Similar quirk with northbound Yellow Line trains - they say they go to Antioch, but actually terminate at a transfer station right after P/BP to the eBART spur.)

I feel like it would've been better to extend Airtrain to Millbrae and then have BART just skip SFO outright - but what do I know about public transit planning

If you are using Ampere Altra system and patch kernel with their terrible workaround called "Altra erratum PCIE_65" then update patches.

However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

I haven’t been posting much here as honestly the engagement has been lackluster, but I’ve been working on a project for long time and I figure I should start writing a bit about it.

@Gammitin those are nice, but seriously, the peak in the computer body design has been reached in 1959 in Poland and nobody ever came even close to this:
