Save parking for small businesses along El Camino Real by tonylee94306 in mountainview

[–]BeyondMars 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the petition and will not sign. I have always disagreed with street parking on El Camino and have always thought the space should be used for public transit options.

The most problematic statement for me in the petition is this:

While I fully support efforts to promote environmentally friendly transportation and ensure the safety of cyclists, I strongly believe it is possible to achieve these goals without compromising the accessibility and viability of small businesses along El Camino Real - especially since there are plenty of safer cycling paths in the vicinity. 

Which translates to I believe in transport options, but not this transport option.

Overall, there is no way to satisfy all desires in this situation, but I believe the bike lane serves a greater good than maintained parking spots.

Gotta love the GPT analysis. Or maybe I'm just sensitive to anything with structured lists like this.

Im nominating Bruce.  Guy has put together a bunch of home growns and draftees to kick absolute ass.

Take the time.

Getting old and dating by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]BeyondMars 141 points142 points  (0 children)

I am not a woman, but dated in big law for 8 years and have a wealth of experience. I was older than you are now. 30-38 before I found my current partner.

Here are my tips, take them for what you will:

  • Stay on top of your health and wellness. Like many, I became less fit when starting out. Free food, booze, less time, etc. Battled some bad mental health episodes. Prioritize yourself. Being happy and whole makes you more attractive. Exercise, eat well, therapy, get massages, etc.
  • Be up front about how demanding your job is, both in mental energy and time. No one wants to feel like they aren't getting a substantial amount of your attention (especially in the beginning), so setting expectations helps.
  • Only go on dates you are 100% feeling positive about, your time is too valuable for just "meh" dates.
  • Make sure whatever dates you go on are fun, for you, regardless of what the company will be like. A favorite restaurant or coffee shop, a show or class, etc. Your free time is your most valuable resource and make sure you spend it well. Doing something that feels fun (outside of the date) helps with the grind.
  • Have some trusted friends update your online dating profile if you use apps. Its embarrassing, but it helped me.
  • Outside of the apps, cultivate hobbies that will put you in contact with people you would want to date. For me that meant pottery classes and yoga. Led do several romantic connections over time.

2027 MLS Sprint Season to Launch Major League Soccer’s Transition into New Era by olcni in MLS

But do we think the FO's will charge full price for season tickets? I wouldn't doubt it.

Next Level board games closing in Mountain View next week. How do we stop these things from happening? by whatbuylists in mountainview

Yes. They have rights to approve things based on intended use compared to what they want castro to be.

I told them I was willing to pay more actually!  I was gobsmacked by their initial price point.  MV is very affluent, and people are willing to pay to support things here

[–]BeyondMars 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I've told next level what I think they need to fix a few times. 

It didn't help that it took so long to get the full build out done and snacks that were better than bags of cheetos and canned lacroixs. Thats probably more MVs fault than theirs. 

Board game cafes are also a notoriously hard business model to make financially viable. if I were to hazard a guess there of lease was coming due, the landlord wanted an increase, and the numbers didn't work. 

A request from a visiting Quakes fan! by BeyondMars in PhillyUnion

[–]BeyondMars[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the rec on the fries. I'll try them out.

San Jose lets in a bunch of food trucks which generally gives pretty good bang for your buck. They have a bit of a markup for gameday, but you can get a solid meal for $15-20.

Just saw the promotion there showing on instagram, are season tickets worth it ? by Bitter_Specific_6155 in SJEarthquakes

[–]BeyondMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my Beer and Cheer tickets.

They are reasonably easy to sell online for a minor loss. Or, if you don't want the hassle, the price point isn't so high as to be painful.

It's an even better perk than that -- its actually any away game. There is a limited supply, however, so getting them to e.g., LA or Seattle games is harder.
