Don’t forget, it’s also taking longer to build than the entire original BART core system!

I feel like we as a community might want to institute a “no gatekeeping” rule for stuff like this. Yeah, it’s dumb. But it’s also sorta cool? And it portends cooler things?

The Turing test could easily be replaced with a Left Turning test. It’s about the most human thing we do.

NYC streets were fine before the city started shrinking them...
