Lawyer by day, dinosaur by night: Meet the man who keeps Dolores Park weird
On a summery, 70-degree day at Dolores Park, Trevor Mead walked out of his apartment at 20th and Dolores streets at about 6 p.m. and started making a lap around the park.
But heโs not just any pedestrian. A data privacy lawyer during the day, in the evening, Mead slips into his 6-foot-tall, 7-foot-long illuminated dinosaur costume, turning Dolores Park into Jurassic Park. โThis is how I deal with my day, with my life choices that led me to become a lawyer,โ he said jokingly.
In his dinosaur costume, his (big, reptilian) legs stomped comically on the ground with every step he took. The dinosaur, named Doloresaurus, radiates blue light around its contour, against the pink sky, moments after sunset...

Fun fact: โUpdate and shut downโ is a lie. What it does it: Update, reboot, update some more, shut down.
Unfortunately, on my machine the reboot means booting to Linux (unless I interrupt it). So when I try to shut it down and come back later, I have a fully booted Linux machine in the room. When I shut it down and boot Windows again after some time, it boots and immediately shuts down again.
And yes, Update and Shut Down has always led to the 'Restarting...' screen since the start of windows 10. They never fixed that.
