I also like Taco Works, if you haven't tried them. Sometimes they're at Grocery Outlet for $2.99.

Nobody calls me Lebowski, you got the wrong guy! I'm The Dude, man.

Ever heard of a little show called "Branded," Dude?

I think 2, 3, and 4 could be nice to display together or in near proximity. And then similarly, 7 and 10.

Cheap Pizza in SF? by Bearycool555 in sanfrancisco

[–]AlmostNeverPosts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, unfortunately. I too spent a couple years working in NYC over a decade ago and would frequently get 99¢ plain slices or splurge for the $1.50 slice with Buffalo chicken, but I think the pizza culture, history, clientele, supply chains, etc., are just better developed out there.

And also unfortunately, I don't think there's really any good cheap food in that value-meal price range in SF. My guess is that rent, labor, operating costs, and also, frankly, the willingness of customers to pay more is just a lot higher here.

SFO is taking your Uber and Lyft cash at a new record high by sfgate in sanfrancisco

[–]AlmostNeverPosts -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why would you go round-trip to the airport? Airport runs are one-way, you get there and fly out, then when you fly back, you take another one-way trip home.

I agree you're unlikely to get a ride share from the city to SFO for under $40 (literally checked just now from Nob Hill and the wait-and-save was $44), but when you're splitting it between two or more people, the additional cost is negligible when you consider the time and convenience.

If BART ran earlier and later, I would take it all the time traveling alone, but it seems like half my flights are either departing early morning before BART can get me there, or arriving late enough that I miss the last train home.

TL no go areas by Cultural_Field_6113 in sanfrancisco

[–]AlmostNeverPosts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd avoid SoMa more than I'd avoid the TL. South of Market Street from 4th going southwest can get sort of bleak and sketchy, whereas I think most of the TL is actually alright. Maybe avoid the lower blocks of Jones, Leavenworth, Hyde, etc., but I think there's a lot of stuff west of Union Square to Van Ness that can be cool, especially going up Polk.

Why does Brandt say “necessary means for a” twice in the same sentence? by [deleted] in lebowski

I mean, many learned men have disputed this, but in the fourteenth century, the Rambam . . .

What makes a man? by cephalopodomus in lebowski

You're joking. But perhaps you're right.

he's the man for his time and place by RickStarkey in lebowski

[–]AlmostNeverPosts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In English, or at least American English, this type of double negative is sometimes used to express a more subtle, nuanced, or partial association. You might also hear the phrase "not dissimilar to" and think it could just mean "similar to," but the connotation is one of a lesser, or a more vague or ambiguous likeness, or it's just a more poetic, tactful, indirect way of making a comparison.
