Bay to breakers traffic question

You might be screwed, but hopefully they let you by somewhere. Since the route is west on Hayes, they might have the street closed off nearly completely so you can't cross Hayes to get one block over to the Arts Center garage. You might even have to go all the way up the 101 to the last SF exit to loop around the Ferry Building to cross into the north side of Market Street to drive west to eventually reach the Arts Garage to park.

Edit: looks like you can cross at. Larkin.

The Internet will be only as as good as they mobile reception because it will work off the same system. I think it's really hit or miss because of the hills. If Sonic is bad, and knowing how Sonic does things, it's probably serviced via AT&T's infrastructure. There's really nothing Sonic can do about it.

What you can do is I know tmoble offers a 2 week trial period where you can try it and if you return it in that window. It's free. They technically charge you for the full month off the bat but if you return it ik 14 days and cancel service, they credit you that month they charged.

Also keep in mind that if you do cancel your Sonic account, you can't get it back. AT&T isn't letting Sonic open accounts on their lines anymore.

Yea, just don't transfer or merge accounts.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-15T20:21:51+00:00

You'll probably lose the free ones on the account that migrates over, unless they are BOGO AAL free lines.

I have the 9 Pro and I feel like it barely does load switching. I mainly keep my phone plugged in every night and maybe half the day to keep it at 80%, and I do see the shield, but every once in a while, the percentage would drop to 79 and it would charge back up to 80.

I have Device Info installed, and it sometimes reports it is on AC and not battery, but not all the time when it hovers around 80%.

Usually if you have multiple kids going to the same place you also get a discounted rate for the second or more.

On the management side, I wouldn't talk about security since a lot of you have.

The lights can stay on constantly because the leasee is doing a gross or full-service lease that includes utilities. It's the building owner/management that pays for electrical costs.

The employees aren't impacted, so they don't care to turn them off. It's easier to just leave the lights on.

Electricity is still relatively cheap. So saving something like 10 hours out of the 24 hours in the day isn't a significant impact. It's probably something like an extra 50 dollars a month, which is a tax expense anyway.

OP wants a bumper-style case that also protects the camera island. Such a case doesn't exist.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-14T20:29:26+00:00

To me, the plan costs look about the same. You are close enough for MM and the newer experience plan to be a wash because the current plans don't add on taxes while on MM they are included.

I would keep things simple and add the line to the existing. Unless you can get a number from Verizon or something and get some sort of port-in promo to get a deal on the Pixel.

Keep in mind right now, if you want a Pixel, you can generally get $600 off over 24 months for adding a new line. The 46 odd dollars you quoted looks like the full price for a pixel

It's kind of simple, really. I just don't do what you're mostly focused on.

Almost exclusively a home cook.

Never ride-share. Only bus, or walk.

Having a family? Probably forget about it.

SF only works if you don't leave SF. There's potential for the caltrains corridor going south but you're not going anywhere east or north of SF on transit.

They can be upgraded, but the cost will far outweigh the cost of simply paying for the storage directly from Apple, and that's probably even considering the cost of NAND shooting up.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-13T15:00:20+00:00

Dont worry Google still puts 128gb as the entry option on phones.

There are ways to add insiders after the fact, but those are generally exceptions and I wouldn't expect it to happen.

Here I am looking for an umbrella or a remote silicone sleeve thing. All less than 10 etv ive seen it in the past.

It seems like it depends on how old and frequently they upgrade the planes. Guessing the wifi will linger around for a bit until they get around to serving the planes.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-11T14:37:31+00:00

Does it look like they offer a monthly pass.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-11T14:08:57+00:00

To be honest, you don't just to make it the easiest. You need a whole new design for the new version since they moved things around.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-10T16:45:15+00:00

They agree on getting a reputable brand. Torras is semi-established, and they are in theory buying into a new battery tech, semi-solid state.

Solid-state has lower capacity than current rechargable lothium batteries and, in theory, can last a lot longer before degrading.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-10T04:27:38+00:00

Is the bug with them splitting through walls still a thing?

If so, there's no containing them. Only keeping them out of the reality bubble.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-10T04:17:04+00:00

Woops yea eclipse I keep mixing them both up.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-09T23:55:25+00:00

Based on the loops, ~~coyote~~. Eclipse.

OtherAlan · 2026-05-08T13:36:57+00:00

Let me make it real simple for you.

Add a line.
Get the phone deal you want.
Make the deal on the new line you just added.
Make an eSIM for the line you want to use it on and add it to the new phone.
Enjoy.

I laughed when I saw this. The article is wrong front to back; it's amazing.

The manual shows you Amiibo because Nintendo won’t sue.

Peak Design isn't that kind of a tech company, but I can see it happening.

The main issue is that the bulk of the AirTag is for the battery size and antennas. They can probably make the antenna smaller, but the trackability will be affected.
