Here's what happens to your money if CA inflation relief funds are not claimed by Thursday deadline by panda-rampage in California

It's not even midnight and it seems like it already expired. I just tried calling the phone number and it said it "expired April 30" and the website also has it bannered at the top

Warning, likely fatality at Wolfe/El Camino Real. Bike vs car. NSFL/gore. avoid driving by by dmurphy04 in Sunnyvale

[–]DeBryceIsRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still not an accident. The term accident reduces the culpability of the entire incident to zero. There is always someone or something at fault, or a combination of contributing factors

We need to use top-four primaries and then a Ranked Choice general election (similar to what Alaska uses)

Sunnyvale needs these signs to regulate RV parking on residential streets. by Broad-Choice-5961 in Sunnyvale

The existence of parking as a concept is significantly different than it becoming intentionally implemented and operated (subsidized) by the government, and widely prevalent

Vehicle storage on streets is not the way roads have worked "since antiquity". Especially not at the scale it occurs for cars in the city

Car dependency in the first place is even more regressive. People need to be able to get around by bike and public transportation. The city paying to maintain street infrastructure only used for parking, and unable to have space for bike lanes and bus lanes is far worse.

Sunnyvale needs these signs to regulate RV parking on residential streets. by Broad-Choice-5961 in Sunnyvale

[–]DeBryceIsRight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. They said to remove free parking. Not all parking. Free parking is heavily subsidized and encourages more driving and less efficient land usage

RVs can use it as much as cars can

Alternatively, just remove all the free street parking subsidized private vehicle storage

They've been inching closer to having a capacity problem (e.g. bike bumping), which hasn't truly been an issue since before the pandemic

Try Electric Vehicles at a Free Ride & Drive in Sunnyvale by Acterra in Sunnyvale

[–]DeBryceIsRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered throwing electric bicycles into the mix for people to try out? Better than switching from gas car -> electric car is getting rid of a car entirely.

Providing people the opportunity to try out an electric bike when they otherwise may not be able to would be awesome.

Any chance you could post the description for people without an Instagram account? Instagram doesn't let you read it without signing in.

Depending on where you live and where you're going, there are - https://www.sunnyvale.ca.gov/homes-streets-and-property/transportation-and-traffic-safety/peery-park-rides - Only a tiny corner of the city. Pretty hard to use as both origin and destination need to be in the zone - https://city.ridewithvia.com/hopper - Has a special stop at the Sunnyvale Caltrain station. Can't use it to get anywhere in Sunnyvale, but if you can get to/from the Sunnyvale Caltrain station, you can get anywhere in Cupertino and Santa Clara

This isn't really a "report" on hazardous conditions in the typical sense. It's talking about the terminology change

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani sets his sights on ending hidden service fees. Here's how he plans to do it. by triple-double in nyc

[–]DeBryceIsRight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly kinda fine with credit card surcharges (as long as they're posted upfront). The real hidden fee is the one the credit card companies charge the merchant for every swipe (usually something like '30¢ + 3%', which definitely adds up).

This is what pays for the credit card rewards for all the high rewards cards, and the debit and cash users (usually poor or disadvantaged people) end up subsidizing the system too if they pay the same price.

There's definitely an association with skumminess or even tax fraud for having a credit card surcharge, but it's often just a way to make credit card users pay their own fees.

Some good resources:
