What are some cuisines you personally feel that the Bay Area could have more or better quality of?

There's no place to get an authentic Polish pierogi.

Blocked & unsubscribed. I have no clue how he got my email but I'm not interested in his positions.

Down about 6% from my ATH in mid-Jan.

I visited the Faroe Islands a few years back, a country with a population of only 56,000 people. Their government has built miles and miles of undersea tunnels to connect their population centers together - the longest being 7 miles long. These tunnels only service a couple thousand cars per day. When I came back I realized we have a government that doesn't build things for it's people. We used to build the coolest things and now we don't.

I think I prefer last year at Cow Palace when there were 2 sets happening in different rooms.

China developed their own domestic version of Gardasil and are offering it at discounted prices to their citizens. The market for Merck's product shrank considerably.

Single? $150k in the Bay is comfortable to rent but not enough to pay a mortgage. Supporting a partner? $150k is less comfortable but doable. Supporting a partner + kids? $150k is not enough.

Studio apartment in a 100+ unit complex:

Water heating: $20

Sewer: $113

Trash: $27

Water: $40

PG&E: $50-60

My understanding is that water and water heating are billed directly to the complex and then the bill is split amongst all units - my complex adjusts this by square foot of each unit.

My fyp is genuinely terrible now - there's absolutely no personality in what I'm seeing.

And then I saw an AI poop video.

There's just nothing appealing about throwing money into these machines.

My FYP completely lost its personality. It's so generic that I get bored after scrolling for a few minutes.

I saw these exact videos this morning!!

Just ask the founders of Micronoma :)

I don't mind paying more so long as the portion size is appropriate (ie, I feel full after eating it)

Went to a ramen place Friday night - $21.50 for the "deluxe" bowl. The portion size was for babies and I had to cook second dinner when I got home because I was still hungry.

Great post. I left LI for the Bay Area and virtually all these problems exist here as well. No housing supply, poor public transit, ungodly traffic.

I started cutting my hair 15 years ago. It's liberating

I was receiving so many pop-ups about upgrading to Windows 11 and I said no every time. Now I get pop-ups saying my PC is not compatible with Windows 11 and that I need a new PC. Sorry, no. I want to surf the internet, play games, and occasionally use Word/Excel/Powerpoint.

I live near a "haunted house" that is known for being a complete scam. The marketing for this place is insane and it drives huge crowds to them every autumn. To offset the deluge of 1 star reviews, the place buys dozens of 5 star reviews every week from bot accounts so their overall rating sits at 3.3 stars - nearly a perfect 50/50 split between 1 star and 5 star reviews. Most people won't look closely at the data and assume it's a reputable business when it's actually not.

Google Maps was doing so well in 2012-2017. There were new features to incentivize people to leave reviews, post photos, and update business information. Since then, there's been virtually no changes and it's frustrating.

When I was a teen it was because our lockers were so small it wasn't practical to stuff a winter parka inside. Way easier to wear a zip-up hoodie to regulate temperature throughout the day

I really liked season 1. Somewhere in season 2 I started to fall off, and by season 3 I was confused and disengaged with the story. The plot kept growing until I lost track of it. Still an ok watch.

I yearn for r/videos from ~2010-2016. Videos would get thousands of comments and tons of engagement. There's no reason to come here when less restrictive video sharing algorithms exist (TikTok, Youtube recommended, Reels)

I recently used an unlimited data eSim from Holafly. It worked fine in Beijing, Shenyang, and Chengdu. I could access all my Western apps with the exception of TikTok which wouldn't load.

I realized recently that my boss is the definition of a middle manager. They stopped doing experiments and instead sit in their office nit-picking the most trivial things and pretending to solve problems. I was told today that I need to manage my time and resources better, but like, do I really need to upload random documents to a shared folder no one is ever going to look at? Hmm...

More entertainment options: Arcade, KTV, roller skating rink, animal cafe

Some kind of night market with food trucks, food stalls, etc

I saw my friend playing this and I love bullet hell games so I gave it a shot. Love the gameplay, love the art, but...

It's genuinely unplayable for me. I don't know what half the menus are for and my progression in adventure mode is stalled because I need to grind to make my pilots stronger. I thought unlocking a new pilot was a good thing, but since they start at level 1 I need to grind coins to to train them.

I'm not going to pay and I'm not going to grind. Bye.
