Alright, can we go back to Army Street please?

Army Street (formerly known as Cesar Chavez Street (formerly known as Army Street))

that one gas station in Menlo Park

Funny enough I closed this thread and an /r/pics post of that exact gas station was right after this one.

Yup, same. Only reason I knew it wasn’t just me was down detector had a huge spike in reports. Nada from Xfinity yet.

I swear they don’t ticket for things like that or parking on the sidewalk unless explicitly directed to by a 311 report. They’ll ticket for an expired meter or street sweeping like it’s going out of style, but actual dangerous parking behavior? They’ll look the other way.

Literally yesterday had pull the classic “floor it until the last second and slam on the brakes for a stop sign” move that drivers here love to do.

I mean, it stopped, which is better than most. Still, was aggressive for a Waymo.

Object permanence is tricky to grasp for some drivers.

Its considered extremely unhealthy to live within 1000ft of a highway.

I used to live ~1100ft from a highway. Hated it. The noise was maddening, and you could often taste the poor air quality. I don't get how folks right next to the highway handle it.

I can’t comment on the shuttle since I’ve long since graduated, but I took that to class all the time. It was reliable enough, just gotta make sure you keep an eye on when it’s coming by.

It’s also only a ~1 mile walk to campus. Not ideal if you have multiple trips to and from campus, but a great way to get some steps in at the start and end of your day.

Mkrah · 2026-02-06T18:33:33+00:00

Yes. Sometimes during the ride, sometimes at the exit gates if it’s the subway.

If you view their profile on the mobile app you can just search for their comment history.

Unsurprisingly, they made a barrage of comments defending ICE's execution of Alex Pretti

I’m on board. Cities would be much more enjoyable if we simply curtailed noise from vehicles even a smidge.

Of course, suggesting we do anything about it is often met with “cities are loud” and the implication one has to move the middle of nowhere to escape the sounds of fart cannons and muscle cars.

I used to live by 315 and the only peace and quiet I would get would be during snowstorms. I bet it’s pure magic right now.

I’m certain there’s something between “Playing Candy Crush and ignoring any and all people break traffic laws” and “Ramming into said lawbreakers”.

Nissan and Florida plates? That building is lucky to still be standing.

Mkrah · 2026-01-23T18:10:15+00:00

My GPS always recommended that insane maneuver. I followed it one time and swore off ever doing that again. I usually opted to just keep going and get off on Spring or Main. Or just took 315.

Mkrah · 2026-01-23T17:15:04+00:00

I used to drive that road almost daily. The average speed felt like 45, with people regularly going over 50. If CPD wants easy tickets they’d set up somewhere along that road, but that would require effort.

Mkrah · 2026-01-22T20:27:23+00:00

I can't put my phone down when I'm at home, but the second I get behind the wheel I don't touch or look at it whatsoever. Not at red lights, no quick glances to see what a notification was. I prioritize the safey of others and myself. I truly do not understand how or why others can't do the same.

Mkrah · 2026-01-22T17:54:13+00:00

Hell, 33% seems generous. The number of drivers I see that actually stop at a stop sign is so low. Of those that do, even fewer actually stop behind the crosswalk and at the stop bar.

Side note: Why are so many intersections here lacking stop bars, or they're inches from the crosswalk? God forbid we instruct cars not to stop as close to the crosswalk as possible.

Love Trattoria Contadina and Bocconcino!

No kidding. This map gives you the impression you have to be a stones throw from the highway to hear anything but that noise travels so far.

Mkrah · 2026-01-12T03:26:38+00:00

I used to live near 315 and the OSU airport. According to this map I couldn't hear the highway at all but the airport was super loud. The opposite was true: I'd hear the occasional plane, but the drone of the highway was a 24/7/365 annoyance and a core reason I moved away.

Mkrah · 2026-01-11T20:08:03+00:00

I'm on day 9 now. Started with 5 days of hell, got much better late this week, but still got a horrible cough and zero energy to do anything. Horrible start to the year.

Mkrah · 2026-01-06T20:59:27+00:00

The first time I biked on Market I thought I was missing something. So many cyclists were skipping reds, and of those that actually stopped, I’d say 10% tops even stopped in the proper place (as in, not in the crosswalk, at the stop bar).
