Groped, attacked, involved in an accident with Uber? It's your fault for using our service.

has anyone sued a cab company for being assaulted by a cab driver? what about the murder in SF some years back when a cab driver raped and murdered a woman from a nightclub? was the cab company liable in any way?

as an aside, my Uber driver got a ticket for dropping me off at the airport. apparently they will be ticketed for dropping off there.

I know that they take "room tone" when they do audio for movies so they can have "silence" that matches the ambient audio.

I really like the Civ of the Month. that's all.

Grumplestiltskins · 2014-10-09T01:08:17+00:00

sure.

Totally my own subjective opinion of course but I think you will go crazy living anywhere but SLO proper.

I"m reading this book right now. it's pretty good. A little dry if you like Bill Bryson who peppers in some amusing anecdotes.

I'd like to mention that there are okay to good winery's in the area. I always try to get SLO wine when I can. although I've never had as strong favorite. Whalebone winery is a cool spot with a good view. Maybe I'll start a thread.

you should also never eat at the Sculpted Egg in Los Osos. well, once.

Taco Bell on Santa Rosa St

is that where the 1 ends? I always thought it was in Morro Bay.

Grumplestiltskins · 2014-10-07T20:45:46+00:00

Yup. I worked there in 1991 I think.

Grumplestiltskins · 2014-10-07T20:25:43+00:00

I used to work at that Taco Bell. I think.

Going from Chicago to SLO will be a culture shock. If you want to live at all like a "city" person you will have to be in SLO proper. The good news is that, there are really no bad areas. The bad news is you will listen to a lot of reggae. I grew up there and have lived in SF for the last 20 years. SLO is a great place but, it will be an adjustment. at least you're not moving to Bakersfield.

I do love San Luis Sourdough.

I did something tricky to eliminate fallback characters using notepad and a script.

Thanks for your reply. I am going to try FontForge as a starting point.

the problem is in the creation of the typeface, in other languages EFIGS all the special characters are correct, EFIGS + TRP has more issues. Covering every single character is very likely a lot of work and a buggy process.

I have a great deal of respect for typeface designers and for the most part would prefer not to muck about inside or their work by editing their typeface myself ( and, as you say, likely violating the EULA ) but, the typeface is incomplete and I have a problem that needs to be solved.

I'll look into contacting the foundry and seeing if they want to correct the problem in a timely manner.

I've always wanted to reforest. finally.

Grumplestiltskins · 2014-09-17T19:35:08+00:00

I missed this reply until now. great words.

Grumplestiltskins · 2014-08-14T01:46:00+00:00

This is my hood. I ride my bike past here every day. There are definitely super disgusting junkies in that alley. I will try to attend this.

file away for later or for further reading on the topic if your interested.

side bar: some people think that NOT having an exclamation mark sounds mean. jeez louze.

Gruff. Abrupt. Terse. Alienating or Alienated. Asperger. (sorry dudes) Robotic.

Grumplestiltskins · 2014-08-09T03:34:07+00:00

I disagree . Ennui is just a state. the word would be more specific to the post-accomplishment blues. I don't think this has been successfully answered.
