How did they almost lose your Timeline?  Was this a couple of years ago when they switched it to local storage?  I wasn't and still am not happy with that change, French privacy concerns aside, but they did warn users repeatedly.

Recently, I had to replace my smartphone. Then I discovered it didn't transfer most of my timeline, even after I told it to. Luckily, I had my old phone handy, and was able to transfer it after refreshing it.

If I had thrown out my old phone right way, I'd be out of luck.

Eesh.  Doesn't bode well for when I upgrade my phone.

this was the first meet of 2026.

It sounds like you had a great road meet yesterday which is awesome!  Technically, though, my Wichita city meet in April was the first meet of 2026.

After this segment opens, I wonder how soon a Google Car can travel it to add it to Street View.

Temperature has been in the 30s all afternoon, with a minor snow flurry right now.

It has snowed a couple times on Memorial Day weekend in the years I've lived at Tahoe.  The holiday forecast for this year looks perfect though, sunny with temperature in the low 70s.

Some posters monitor the entire board and cross‑post material the moment it appears.

It took you this long to notice the "Unread Posts" page exists?

Some posters sit on the "Unread Posts" page and refresh it constantly, so they can take action on anything the moment it appears.

Once I-481 is uncorked and the movements are all there, it will be a no-brainer to go around

IDK, you tend to latch onto things like a dog with a squeaky toy. Pot calling the kettle black.

As @Mapmikey pointed out, signage approaching NC-186 on 158 westbound is still flipped:

Just drove by this weekend and saw that the 186 signage has been half..."fixed"

That when I am looking to book a hotel, multiple spoof third party sites appear before the official property listing.
