It’s an issue for cities across America: cars parked in bus lanes when they shouldn’t be.Now, new AI camera technology is letting the buses themselves write tickets instantly.Santa Monica recently tested the technology with their Big Blue Bus Line.Last year, they provided 7.7 million trips, but not all were on schedule due to cars improperly parked or stopped in dedicated bus lanes."The question becomes how do we and other cities keep vehicles that should not be in the transit lane out of the lane," said Robert McCall, who oversees Community Engagement for the City of Santa Monica.Robert McCallSanta Monica is among a growing number of cities exploring the use of AI cameras that can spot violations and issue tickets instantly.As buses drive their routes, special cameras capture the license plates of cars that shouldn’t be parked or stopped where they are."Our cameras are able to be accurate to within 10 centimeters, we know if a vehicle is moving or whether a vehicle is stopped," sai...

Thrash is Revived at the Regent

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:30:37 GMT

Thrash is Revived at the Regent: The thrash revival of the mid-to-late 2000’s threw some great bands into the metal-loving public’s ears, some of which had already been touring like dogs for years and were finally able to seize their opportunity.Municipal Waste is a great example; They formed in 2001, and by the middle of the decade they were household names (in niche households, admittedly). Two other names that enjoyed a similar trajectory are Denver’s Havok and Portland’s Toxic Holocaust.Putting the two of them on a bill together is a perfect, if low-hanging, idea. The fanbase here in L.A. is pretty much the same people and, most importantly, both have a string of fucking awesome records in their arsenals. Oh, and both have magnificent metal logos, which means a ton of impressive merch and some cool backdrops.Toxic Holocaust (Brett Callwood)Led by Joel Grind, the sole founder of the band, Toxic Holocaust raised hell, perhaps literally, in Los Angeles on Sa...

What are all those spiders doing in my garden?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:30:37 GMT

If Miss Muffet in the children’s nursery rhyme had known more about garden spiders, she might not have been so frightened. Spiders are beneficial garden inhabitants that are much more interested in feeding on insects rather than bothering humans. You might think of them as an eight-legged pest control service operating in your garden.Grass spiders spin funnel-shaped webs and wait for insects to walk or fly into them. Courtesy of PixnioSpiders are not insects; they are arthropods belonging to the order Araneae in the class Arachnida. In addition to the number of legs, they differ from insects in that they have only two body parts and they lack wings and antennae. They also have six to eight eyes, often arranged in two rows.Although most spiders do produce venom and have jaws ending in fangs, few can bite through human skin. The only exceptions common in California are the widow spiders, which spend most of their time hiding and rarely attack humans unless provoked. Spiders basic...

Why does Hollister cat steal eyeglass cleaning cloths and leave them in odd places?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:30:37 GMT

DEAR JOAN: We have a 16 year-old Manx cat named Pumpkin, who started really entertaining us about a year ago.We keep two small eyeglass cloths in a basket on our kitchen island. During the night, about 80% of the time, she moves one or both of them to various locations in the kitchen. Quite often, she jumps up on the island, then jumps down carrying a cloth, then goes to a step stool at a desk on the opposite counter.The cloth is then deposited on or near the computer mouse. Occasionally, the second cloth will be near the first one. At other times, one of them will be on the rung of a kitchen stool, on the floor or any one of numerous places she decides to place it.She recently started moving the cloth during the day when we are at work. This seems to be a well thought out activity for Pumpkin. Can you share some insight as to why?— Sue and Rick Solano, HollisterDEAR SUE AND RICK: Cats enjoy taking objects and carrying them around. Because the mysterious cloth relocation happe...

TasteFood: When life gives you stone fruit, make a crisp

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:30:37 GMT

I am a glutton when it comes to summer stone fruit. There is a window of time when nectarines, peaches, apricots and plums run rampant at the market. Mottled in vibrant swaths of purple, crimson and orange, their flesh is a perfect balance of sweet, tangy and winey flavors. I could eat them all day long, but then my stomach would hurt.When these fruity gifts are abundant, I usually overshop. It is an issue. My kitchen counters are lined with bowls and platters piled with fruit. So it’s no surprise that, even in my house, all the fruit can’t be eaten at their peak of ripeness. Some pieces become a little too ripe, buried at the bottom of the bowl, or even passed over for the newest batch from the market. As mentioned, I have indulgence issues.This is an opportunity to make a crisp. It’s the dessert equivalent to a homey vegetable soup. Gather up all the ripe, somewhat passed fruit (as you might with vegetables for a soup), cut and chop, and spread a thick layer in a...
