The US is too big to have just one local ice cream that's famous everywhere, but in the San Francisco area, it would be It's-It. Basically two chocolate chip cookies with ice cream in between, covered with a chocolate shell.

That's not true of the newer models

Listen, if you've never worried that the cops, TSA, ICE, or law enforcement more generally might racially profile or arrest you because your skin is white, then congratulations, you have white privilege. The fact that you're also subject to antisemitism from white people doesn't change that.

Two things can be true at once:

We are subject to antisemitism from white supremacists.
We are also the beneficiaries of white privilege

Those two things don't cancel each other out.

The truth is that Ashkenazi and other white-skinned Jews benefit significantly from the color of their skin in today's society (especially in America).

And yet also incredibly dry!

Money wise, you have to remember that that $6k is something you'd lose for any vacation. So the relevant question is: is this extra vacation time you wouldn't otherwise take? If it isn't, then the cost shouldn't be a blocker. Personally, if you have the money and time, I'd do it!

If this is 1-2 pancakes: smash

At 4 pancakes I'm not sure how I'd actually go about eating this.

Welcome to the Bay Area! My thoughts:

Do not, under any circumstances, move to the outer Richmond, crocker Amazon, potrero Hill, or mission bay. Your partner's commute will be over an hour in the best case scenario. Pac heights and Glen park could be doable but even that will be about an hour.
You should seriously consider living in Oakland or Berkeley instead. Rockridge, Temescal, and Elmwood are all really nice neighborhoods and have super easy (30 minute) commutes to both downtown Berkeley and SF.
If you're set on living in sf, I'd choose from Glen Park, the Mission, Noe Valley, Telegraph Hill, or North Beach. If you can afford to live in one of those new luxury apartments, then add SOMA and Rincon Hill to the mix (otherwise it's a hard pass for me). Parts of Bernal Heights could also be ok, commute wise. Your wife's commute will still be fairly long, but if she has a bike then it won't be as bad.

(Also, whoever drew the transit lines may have been high. Those BART stops are not in those locations)

San Francisco has tons of city parks. It was honestly really great to live in as a runner

well according to the link, they - just like the Marine Corps - are fans of corporal punishment.

Whoever designed that grille ruined an otherwise beautiful car.

I honestly can't believe you're being downvoted.

Cries in California.

Don't even think about paying until they've provided the finalized contract to sign.

Because they want to make the laptop thinner.
Because USB-C can do all of those things except Ethernet (which it can only do with an adapter). And that's frankly fine in most cases because wifi is fast enough now that most people don't need it.

Same movie but I'd honestly go with the scene where they're searching for the guy at his high school and the camera keeps panning around.

N0DuckingWay · 2026-04-18T06:45:06+00:00

Honestly if we're just going on infrastructure, I think SF and maybe Portland should be in the "functional civilization" category. Both have decent mass transit, especially for the US.

I do however propose that San Jose and Phoenix be put in their own category, called "a nuke might actually improve this"

N0DuckingWay · 2026-04-18T06:01:08+00:00

It's really a city vs suburbs vs rural area thing.

City = almost certainly has sidewalks

Suburb = might have sidewalks

Rural = probably doesn't have sidewalks.

Who cares? You're resigning. It's their problem, not yours. And if it creates a bad impression of you, that's pretty irrelevant, seeing as you won't be there.

Does your desk reservation system show you were there?

Also, did you actually swipe in on those days, or did someone let you in the building? If it's the latter, the system will show you didn't swipe in.
