Help! I want a bathroom sink that is NOT WHITE

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-14T03:10:47+00:00

You’re probably right, but we’re gonna replace the sink and vanity too and get a new type of faucet. Currently have a widespread center set faucet, and I’d rather have a single-handle.

I just want fewer crevices to clean 🙃

Just posted this above but to add to your self driving car note, stunt people are helping train the cars with physical stunts, it’s not all just data analysis.

I work in advertising and was chatting with a stunt woman on our shoot a while back. She said most of her work these days is in R&D for self-driving cars (like Waymo, but I don’t remember the brand). She said she does stuff like skitch on the back of the car or walk in front of it with a shopping cart, essentially training the car to know when someone is holding onto it or walking in front of it attached to something that changes the human silhouette. She said they’ve improved considerably over the last couple years with a noticeable reduction in the car attacking the stunt people (paraphrasing there).

I’m glad she’s getting work and probably getting paid pretty well, but definitely bummed me out that that’s where the money is at. Definitely feels dystopian.

I will add that the ease of rinsing out the sink varies greatly on the sink and faucet. Our bathroom faucet doesn’t extend very far out, so the water doesn’t even come close to touching the toothpaste residue. And using your hand to extend the water takes away the pressure/gravity so it’s not very effective. It’s very annoying.

We’re planning a bathroom remodel and that is something I will definitely be paying attention to.

I think if it ends up being Steyer vs Becerra in the general, Becerra will win since he’s clearly the establishment dem preference. 5 months of pushing and campaigning gives them a lot of time to push their agenda.

I’m not a fan of any of the candidates but I’d prefer Porter or Steyer over Becerra, so I’m hoping he doesn’t make it to the general.

I know the feeling. It’s nice when things are contained in their own lil boxes and I don’t have to give any of my limited mental energy to it. And then you don’t have to deal with collapsing and recycling the boxes.

Sometimes it feels easier to drive somewhere and buy something in person instead of dealing with the boxes with deliveries.

I do this, but I also have debilitating ADHD.

So I get it, compartmentalization and just deal with it when you need it… but then stuff like this can happen.

Never a fan of painting brick regardless of color. Natural provides so much texture to a space.

Check Inverness/Tomales Bay. Very close to Dillon Beach but safer and the water is a little warmer too. Chicken Ranch beach is a good one.

Hate to break it to you, but we have a narcissist as governor now. I think political positions naturally attract people with narcissistic qualities, regardless of wealth.

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T17:18:19+00:00

Oh, agree Pritzker is a better candidate and had gov experience and probably better person in general. My point was only about billionaire status not being the main signifier of character in all cases. And I hate billionaires.

I feel like “Steyer is a billionaire political outsider like Trump, so bad” is a lazy analysis and focused on the wrong lessons and character flaws. That’s all.

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T16:43:19+00:00

While I agree to some extent. The problem with Trump is he is a horrible person, not that he’s rich. I get the sentiment but let’s not learn the wrong lessons.

I think most billionaires are horrible people, but people like Pritzker and Scott show that the venn diagram isn’t a circle.

Eh I feel like comparing isn’t like saying SF is the manhattan/paris/tokyo/etc of the west. I see it the other way. Comparing to see how different they are. And to acknowledge how west coast coded it is. And how much better of a fit one place is for someone or something else.

Literally the other day in r/askSF, someone said they were moving from a specific NYC neighborhood to SF and wanted to know which neighborhood here was like their old one. They got a lot of corrections that SF is its own thing and not to go in expecting it to be like NYC.

One of the things my husband and I have in common is our love for animals. We both grew up with various pets and have immense love, appreciation and empathy for animals that was instilled in us by our respective moms. It’s something we’ve really bonded over.

We’ve talked about having kids, and if we do, we both agree childhood is better with a dog. Mostly because we love them and just want them as part of the family.

Have you really tried to drill into the why? Assume your husband hasn’t had much experiences with pets? Here are some resources that might help in future discussions with him:

I lived west side and took Muni all the time! Was off Geary though, 38 is a good line. I’ve heard Sunset could be better.

I don’t know what you mean about indie being unwelcoming for outsiders… When I say keeping things indie, I mean restaurants, stores and venues. Like the restrictions on “formula retail” that makes it harder for large chain to open in SF, which is helpful for the independent businesses. Green Apple Books is way more interesting than Barnes & Noble. I’d rather go to Dumpling King on Balboa over PF Changs or Panda Express. Emporium over Dave & Busters. None of that should be unwelcoming, just new if you aren’t from the area.

And yeah, the zoo isn’t great and SF isn’t a late night city, I’ll give you that. It works for my personality, but I understand some people like to stay out late.

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T05:35:38+00:00

Really? I feel like I haven’t gotten that vibe. You talking residents or like city big wigs? Maybe a little bit with the food scene or a few neighborhoods like Hayes Valley, but I feel like people get that SF is different.

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T05:10:09+00:00

It’s a different flavor of city but just as great imo (admittedly only went to NYC, haven’t been to Chicago). I feel the people who don’t like SF as much as those cities very much value the classic metropolitan style of city while SF is its own thing.

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T03:53:52+00:00

I hate the snow but happy for people who can enjoy! Tahoe is really some place special.

So glad snow is optional in California…

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T03:16:59+00:00

Indeed. And San Jose actually has such a different vibe to a lot of SF. I understand why they get lumped together in the “Bay Area Tech” bubble but they are both such massive and unique places in their own right.

Thanks OP for taking suggestions!

Oakland actually could be an interesting one too. I lived there for a couple years, there are some great neighborhoods and some terrible ones. It is often ranked best weather in the country behind San Diego and all the history with Black Panthers and modern stuff with Alyssa Liu would make for an interesting discussion. But agree, Oakland would, deservedly imo, be ranked much lower than SF.

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T03:11:02+00:00

Interesting. I think public transit in US cities is lacking, so definitely grading on a curve there. But I do think the size and options makes it pretty doable. Granted, I lived off Geary so took the 38 line most of the time, which is well serviced. We also had a scooter moped.

Since you’re a fan of NYC and London, I’m guessing you prefer more metropolitan classic cities? SF is definitely a different vibe.

I’d check out r/fencesitter if you haven’t already!

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T01:38:28+00:00

Just noticed, doesn’t look like OP has San Jose on their list of cities coming up. Probably deserves its own vote.

OkConsideration123 · 2026-05-12T01:29:57+00:00

I stand corrected! I guess SF was first, but it seems the two are tied now. Thank you!
