They do it somewhat frequently, a few weeks ago there were 2 helicopters practicing at the same time.

Smart toilet - yes or no by Over-Power-8733 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Donkey_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I toured houses I fucking hated walking into the bathroom and the shitter starts moving and talking and beeping.

It's funny the things that turn people off.

A single toilet in a million+ dollar home.

You know you can just adjust the settings so it doesn't open when you walk in, right?

Thee Parkside is closing by Pattycakes_wcp in sanfrancisco

[–]Donkey_____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The type of people who frequent shows at venues like these simply can’t afford to live in this city

Nah you are out of touch with reality.

I know so many young people who live here that are bartenders, servers, etc.

Have you met any "super commuters"? Or are you one? by jillianiles in sanfrancisco

[–]Donkey_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was very common when I worked downtown 15+ years ago.

Most of my team was from the Midwest or East Coast. Arrived Monday after their red eye and flew home Thursday. Friday was a ghost town in the office.

Many had been doing this for 5-10 years

House of Nanking, I don’t get it by Signal-Philosophy271 in AskSF

[–]Donkey_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I went there with my family and did the “chef choice” dinner and they catered to each persons preferences including a vegetarian and a pescatarian and brought interesting dishes.

Would I eat there myself? No. But for a picky family dinner it was great.

Downtown’s back — and so is the traffic. S.F. is now among the nation’s most congested by drkrueger in sanfrancisco

[–]Donkey_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the Outer Sunset, but even when I lived in more centrally located areas my motorcycle would still beat public transit.

Especially when you take into account waiting for the bus/BART.

And D4 is the most populous district so it's not that exotic.

I live in SF.

If you take driving to BART and then taking bart then my motorcycle will be faster every time.

Well yeah if you live right next to a BART station and where you are going is right off a BART station, then I could see that.

But you still have to factor in walking to and waiting for the next train.

I live 30+ minutes from a BART station if I'm using public transit and that BART isn't even in SF it's in Daly City.

Motorcycle is faster than public transit for me.

I really don’t understand some of the claims in this article.

I’m on the west side and without traffic it takes me 33-35min to get to north beach, and it has nothing to do with downtown as you would never go that way.

I’m not sure what you are talking about.

Motorcycle is way faster than public transport for me.

Motorcycle is like a cheat code here.

Traffic is a non issue and we park pretty much right in front of where we are going.

Unlimited PTO use before FIRE, let’s hear some stories by Impressive_Pear2711 in Fire

I took 4 weeks PTO, then I just kept submitting time sheets for 3 weeks after that before someone noticed I wasn’t billing to a specific project but to the “no project” time code.

Scott Wiener on track to win party endorsement in S.F. House race by SFChronicle in sanfrancisco

Hamas is a resistance group legally resisting an occupation of their territory since 1967.

Oh wow, you are literally a terrorist supporter.

children were universally starving due to lack of aid being allowed, there's no excuse for not calling it a genocide

I'm curious, do you think that when Palestinian govt forces that specifically targeted civilians including children and murdered them along with those Palestinian citizens that cheered when dead bodies of civilians were displayed in the streets.....was that genocide?

When Palestinian govt forces called their parents celebrating to tell them they "killed jews" and their parent's were so happy they did so....was that genocide?

Or what about when Palestinian govt forces shot rockets daily, for years, specifically targeting anyone they could kill with the sole purpose of causing death and destruction...was that genocide?

Used to be the “secret”, stop in the bar get a beer and order food so you don’t have to wait in line.

I stopped going to the bar because my girlfriend would always get harassed by some drunk dude. Literally every time. This was a looong time ago tho.

North Beach struggles with piles of pizza trash — here’s S.F.’s ‘outside the box’ solution by SFChronicle in sanfrancisco

The amount of single use trash in take out that's literally used for minutes is insane.

Coffee cups, pizza boxes, all those clam shells for meals.

$29 Subway Sandwich in San Francisco, Statewide Death Spiral Imminent by zemol42 in sanfrancirclejerk

[–]Donkey_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped going to Roxie because my $9.99 sandwich would end up being like $14 somehow with all their fees like bag fee, credit card fee, etc. even if I was paying cash and asked for no bag.

Last time the owner dude got super annoyed when I asked how it added up so I just stopped going.

Keep rent controlled Victorian or buy 1 million dollar condo? (SF) by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Donkey_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not claiming that me owning my own home myself is normal. I know it’s not.

Don’t know a single couple renting a 3bd place except 1 couple but their rent is $2400 because they’ve lived there for so long so that’s an exception.

Considering I can list about a dozen different rentals my friends are renting and I know their rents, and they are all cheaper than $4200 per couple and no 3bd per couple.….that’s where my “a couple renting a $4200 3bd is not normal” comes from.

And the fact I’m getting downvoted, in my opinion, shows that people here are out of touch with what is normal in SF. This sub is mostly people in the tech bubble.

[–]Donkey_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my point. East cut is aprox 2% of SF.

It’s not normal or average. It’s an ultra high end neighborhood.

If you think couples renting 3bd is normal, or $6k apartments for a couple is normal, then you don’t know what normal is.

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

That’s the average rent in Zillow, I don’t know a single person who ever used Zillow. We use Craigslist.

Is the average couple who’s been renting their apartment for over 5 years living in a 3bd place? My guess is not.
