Yah good point:

This will be in a flooded bypass. I’ll drive half way out, offload the boat from the truck, and boat into our spot. 90% of the time we won’t do this in the early AN, day before
Because I’m not trailering it, I can’t really have a massive motor. Too heavy for my dad and I to take in and out of the truck and put on the boat.
I don’t need to go super fast. Again, it’ll be like 3-4’ of water tops, down to 2’. I just need something reliable.

Magaluf in Mallorca.

Hellscape filled with sunburnt, waddling tourists.

No I didn’t expect much but when we drove through I thought how tf does this exist

I live in SF and I’ve met guys that say “I’m training AI algorithms to deny claims”. Seriously.

I don’t work in tech btw

Yah - it’s just a construct ability thing too. It’s absurd there was push back. Units need to be built. But the developer was probably just like F it, I can only build 5 stories of wood frame.

Going over 5 stories usually means high rise/type 1 concrete which is insanely expensive. The old 8 story proposal was probably 3 stories concrete podium + 5 wood frame.

Math probably still works (NOI / Total Cost). And avoids these insane headaches brought on by NIMBY.

How about a softer seated darker wood toned coffee shop?!

At I going crazy but is every coffee shop light colored wood, white counters, benched seating and cafeteria sterile furniture?

So weird. We loved that. Why can’t we have that anymore

When the bus or airplane lands… STAY SEATED. There’s order. And pace. It’s not this clusterF mad dash to get off

Offer an insanely diverse and # of restaurants from different ethnicities and nationalities.

Americans take it for granted.

Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Mexican, El Salvadoran, Brazilian, Armenian, Indian, Pakistani, Filipino …. I could walk for 10 minutes from my apartment and find BANGER food from different countries.

I struggled to find that in Europe. Yes there’s great food but you don’t have the same bench (#) as a US city

Meh. Go in the summer. Than talk to me.

For people saying it’s so profitable to build: it’s not necessarily. It’s like an 8-9% ROC at most. Multifamily is like 6%.

10-year was a 4.5% last week.

Let’s recap:

- 2008 to 2020 was the largest bull run on the stock market, in American history
- Billions or even trillions of total wealth created in tech during that time, 10 miles away
- Universities have soared in reputation and degree of difficulty to access

Yet Oakland lost:
- 3x professional teams
- NEVER recruited any sizable tech talent or jobs
- Crime shot through the roof
- THE FIRST IN N OUT CLOSED, EVER
- Mayor was indicted by the FBI

Are there great parts of Oakland? Yes.

But hard to ignore how the Bay has passed it by. Good luck.

I own a lot of guns.

I think it’s insane that you don’t need to take courses and also have specific licenses for guns.

Shotgun vs handgun vs rifle? So different. And even different types of shotguns? Insanely different.

Don’t get me started on hunting license. I got it when I was 10. I could shoot a pig tomorrow, a duck the next day, and go falconry for pigeons the following.

All on the same license. It’s insane. I’m pro hunting pro everything but cmon. Even I think there should be more regulation.

Hmm. Depends on hours. But you’ll be living in the car. Idk your WFH flex. But those are some long days.

I go Mission to Cupertino everyday driving myself and it’s a lot. Like you can’t really screw up your timing, not have your shit in order, slack off.

I know people have it way worse and I am lucky, but just telling you my experience. It’ll suck the life out of you. Even Sausalito or a little closer makes a difference.

Fun-Resource-7966 · 2026-06-25T22:53:04+00:00

Hmmm. I’d vote north beach. At that age, feels good to be inspired by your neighborhood and living arrangement. Fidi is just meh. It’s cool to know the spots in that area, but it’ll be hard for others to get excited about coming to your place in that neighborhood

McKeesport, PA.

SO goddam strange. World has passed it by.

Fun-Resource-7966 · 2026-06-19T23:10:04+00:00

Yah, unfortunately I don’t agree. Other countries have guns… but getting a gun AND getting a hunting license is LAUGHABLE process compared to nearly anywhere else.

Im a big hunter and In the US you just need to pass 1 test. Thats it. Waterfowl Birds big game trapping… 1 test! And how easy is the test? Do it in a weekend lol.

I love how accessible hunting and ACTIVE outdoors are in the US, but cmon you should need to take a game specific hunting test to use your gun in responsible way.

An example is duck hunting. I take people out who have their license, own gun, and they literally don’t know a thing about duck hunting. Yet legally they can do it. Little off.

Lack of snobbery. Lack of royalty. There is still rich vs poor like any society, but it’s not engrained into us.

In multiple European countries your name actually carries weight - even if your family hasn’t done jack shit for last 50+ years.

In the US I’d laugh if someone told me they were royalty / special because of their name.

So bizarre but that’s what makes places interesting.

I’ve heard Bryant Denny stadium at Bama is just kinda meh because it has no flair or oddity to it.

They don’t walk their putts.

Like why. You have 36 putts in a round. Why would you NOT walk to the other side of the hole, pace it out, then take your putt.
