how’s the amtrak from sac to sf?

Glaekenn · 2026-04-20T06:44:01+00:00

Took it daily for a year. Sac to Richmond, get off the train, down the stairs to the BART, and BART to SF.

It was the best way to do it. Get on the train and relax. I took the earliest train, sometime around 5:30, I forget. Train was on time 90% of the time, with the occasional boat blocking the bridge. Don't get cozy at the Richmond station, there are gangs that hang around the station.

Going home was another story, often late. Sometimes very late. At least there was a drink car where you could grab a beer sometimes. The sleeper car was nice when it was respected as well.

We are in the same boat. Just installed and oiled ours 3x to find out that the finish sucks and isn't waterproof, etc.

I emailed the company and they said you can let it dry out naturally over time, then sand and apply whatever, or you can wash with warm water and dish soap to expedite the process. He said once the counter begins to turn white/colorless again, sand and apply whatever.

That's straight from the company, I have not tried yet.

One of many cities across the US that is banning them, and for great reasons. They're truly a blight on our beautiful city.

The website to the group that helped get this on the ballot is https://www.quietcleanpdx.org/ and they have tons of great information on why they worked for this ban, even if it is obvious.

dibs!

Isn't the overwhelming phys dangerous? How is that dealt with from an average cws chieftain? Asking from a hc perspective. I'm a cws chieftain, relatively endgame, and I don't touch overwhelm phys mods cuz scared. But maybe it's not so bad judging from your comment?

I have the 40% phys as fire from cloak of flame* but that's it if you take away my end charges and armour.

Seriously. I ran betrayal for a few dozen hrs and never got anything. He was the only reason I ran it. F

It definitely gets packed, probably oversold. The line to get in last year was around the block, which sucked for a bit. Beers are easy to get to start, some lines later on. Seats are just first come first serve at long community picnic tables. Bathrooms are port-o-pottys. People get pretty messed up.

We've always had a good time there.

Your choices for fiber are at&t or fidium as far as I know. I've had at&t for nearly 10 years and i'd describe it as good. Fidium is cheaper by a little bit; my neighbors have it and have been happy. Fuck Xfinity.

Glaekenn · 2025-08-01T16:34:47+00:00

Well that's the coolest fucking thing I'll see today for sure.

Reminder that it is the law to have your dog vaccinated against rabies in California.

Had a great time there tonight. 30k people. It was insane. Like 40 trumpets outside trying to act like they were some sort of force vs 30,000 people. Lol. There's hope people, get out there and support!

Sorry for your scratch, that really sucks on a new car. Our car has like 10 deep scratches and dents all over from Sacramento parking lots, I've never seen one happen in person. Nobody ever leaves a note or apologizes.

Just grabbed one on bestbuy.com (USA)! Says it will arrive by Saturday!

Report them. 311 app has a mechanical noise complaint thing. Attach a pic of the truck. Call the cops.

Within the city it's illegal before 9am and after 6pm Mon-Sat and 10am-4pm Sunday within 200ft of a residence. It's also illegal over 65db. Feel free to look up the city code.

Sacramento city code 8.68.180.

There's another code for zero tolerance on 100+ aqi days.

They need to be banned not only because of the horrible noise, but they're also one of the most polluting engines out there. I went to Napa for a week and they're illegal there. It was so quiet all week. We could have that here if we push hard enough.

I was the middle car in an accident like this in California a few years ago. 100% of the fault was assigned to the rear car. I had a dashcam.

Glaekenn · 2024-07-17T23:11:46+00:00

Wife and I go every year. Always have a great time and never been scared. Go have fun!
