At the last @TRidersUnion Rally for a Safe T people asked me (one of the organizers) to do a reintroduction. It's happened a few times since so here we go. Hi my name is Evan, I am an engineer and you can think of this🧵is my story with the T.

I need to take a break but if you are looking for a positive take way. I do approve of the T's new exit signs. No doubt we will be needing them a lot in Baker's last year. 31/

I love how sf nuni shows off all their various vehicles and doesn't try to hide the awesomeness of the trolley buses!

Voters made it clear public transit is worth the investment. Thank you to Mayor Lurie, Senators Wiener and Arreguin, and every voter and volunteer who supported both Proposition H and the Regional Transit Measure. Safe, reliable, and frequent service is here to stay! 💪🚌

Another successful fix ⏤ after 49 years and 16 billion miles! 🔧 Engineers recently turned off devices on Voyager 1 and substituted them with lower-power alternatives. Nicknamed the “Big Bang,” the energy-saving effort will allow the remaining instruments to operate longer.  ½

Private equity & billionaires are pouring millions on Question 3 to buy MA elections & rig them in favor of the ultra-wealthy. I'm with @voterrightsma & a grassroots coalition to say HELL NO to Question 3 so we can keep power in the hands of the people. facebook.com/share/v/1CQdmjs…

This is the only bad idea I have not yet seen suggested as an alternative to the Blue Hill Ave bus lane... but I am sure Worrell can have an AI draft something for him soon.

I am old enough that when I started computers didn't have mouse ports or usb ports. The mouse *if* you have one plugged into the RS-232 port. I built a few devices that plugged into the parallel port.

WATCH: Britain’s ITN has released ~4 hours of previously sealed 1989 Tiananmen footage — filmed by the team that smuggled the tapes out of China. The material, archived for ~35 years, includes a 2-hour crackdown compilation and 90 minutes of secretly filmed raw rushes from the days after, showing military trucks on Beijing streets, crowds, and the aftermath.

The outside of your scope probe will fit perfectly into an @LEGO_Group technic hole. For anyone who needs to rapid prototype a test fixture this is faster and greener than running your 3D printer for hours. It's also a lot more satisfying.
