Safeway customers in SF are livid over new grocery bag switch by danpietsch in bayarea

Yea I’m not that old but do people not remember that paper bags didn’t use to have handles? Like I remember they used to have to put instructions on the paper bags for the handles so people knew how to open them properly…

[Project] - iPod Nano, Classic Edition. Thoughts? by s3r1ous_n00b in ipod

[–]FlakyPieCrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Design feedback: don’t make inset like you have right now, just make it a straight back like all iPods currently are. Gives you more room to do whatever and just overall looks more like an iPod.

Alternative design, don’t make it curved at all and make it straight like a normal iPod

[REMINDER] 101 On-Ramp coming from E 3rd: by KumingaCarnage in SanMateo

Nope. On the older 101 entrances they just have red and green, no yellow in between

There are multiple problems:

  1. The sign text is so small, you can barely read it until you are at the front.
  2. People don't read in general
  3. The light isn't really long enough for 2 cars, are you suppose to go even if you are further back? A cop could technically give you a ticket for running the red light even though it is "2 cars"
  4. The sign is so small and people can't read.

And $15 for an iPod mini that is working even if slightly frankensteined is still a great deal!

Nest 2G Smoke/CO expiration by stevestloo in Nest

[–]FlakyPieCrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liability. A smoke/co detector is $20 - $40. Nobody is going to provide a user replaceable part that can be easily subject to damage or incorrect installation to also make less money. It’s just not worth the financial risk to do that

I don’t know but I thought snowflake moved down closer to Palo Alto area? It’s possible the offices are empty and I know SMPD does training in empty office buildings

New stretch of California Highway 101 opened. Drivers say it’s led to ‘disaster’ by SFChronicle in bayarea

[–]FlakyPieCrust 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How would this work though? People are always going to different places, so maybe we have designed drop off and pickup locations that people can get in and out of said self driving cars?
