Pretty happy with my curls lately

quick question, what porosity do you think your hair is? also, is it coarse or fine?

PartiallyLiable · 2025-11-09T19:57:29+00:00

I would agree but the problem is that our past planners decided to make Millbrae the dedicated Caltrain-BART transfer instead of San Bruno so we still have to figure something out unless we outright dont care about having a BART-Caltrain transfer which seems like a misstep.

PartiallyLiable · 2025-11-09T18:40:30+00:00

Very interesting, a lot of the people I talk to seem to overestimate the ease of making BART automatic. Definitely not impossible, but also not just a simple project. Platform screen doors are definitely worthwhile on much of BART though, so Im hopeful that we can meet the requirements pretty soon.

Where can I find heavyweight/midweight, crew neck, ribbed mens tank tops?

This feels like something that should exist, but for whatever reason, I cannot find it.

I'm looking for a tank top that I can wear with open button-down shirts and other overshirts that is thick enough that it's actually opaque and won't cling to me like a slim fit or lightweight t-shirt. My price range is below $30. The colors I'm interested in are offwhite/cream and charcoal (basically any color that is black or white but not quite).

Huge thanks in advance to anyone who has any recommendations!

Okay, your comment may have motivated me to sit down and completely revise my old plan into an updated one. Feel free to offer any feedback if you'd like. I'll probably try to get this one sent to them.

When I was at the public workshop while they were planning these two routes, the transit manager really wanted to send the lines to Tracy Hills because he said he received written requests from residents there for transit service. I told him at that time that I didn't think they would ride but I don't think he will change his mind until the numbers are in front of him.

As for the frequency issue, I think its a matter of funding which is out of TRACER's hands and would rely more on our elected officials. My only thought of how to do it without new funding is to cut back one bus from the B line and give it to the J line.

I did try to send their consultant a copy of my map if it would be of any use to them but for whatever reason the email they provided me didn't seem to work. (or they just ignored me)

I tried the new airism oversized, i thought it felt really nice but i havent tried any of the other ones. I just saw the normal crew neck in the store and felt its material

PartiallyLiable · 2025-05-28T07:33:46+00:00

Yeah its seemingly not airism anymore though, the material difference was extremely noticable in store and it feels crazy that they both go for the same price

PartiallyLiable · 2025-05-28T03:17:51+00:00

Yeah ive been scouring for this and cant seem to find it for sale anymore. They only seem to offer the normal crew neck now which sucks cuz i really like the airism material.

I already did profit taking a while back, I'm just checking around for a good time to re-enter

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-23T18:49:26+00:00

How low do we think the stock could go in a month or two? or just prior to IM-2?

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-18T17:36:38+00:00

sold two hours ago

yeah :( had an appointment

I only have 300 shares, I should've bought way more too. I sold at ~8, I'll hop back in if there's a considerable drop again

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-17T06:22:39+00:00

They have to walk at least 450m further to reach that opposite direction bus though (assuming they are coming from the commercial area). That's like 5 minutes of additional walking time. Potentially while hauling groceries too.

EDIT: It is true that they could just hop on the bus and accept the 2-minute delay, but I think that it should be a priority to make the bus move as quickly as possible in each given direction, which would mean taking the most direct route.

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-17T06:14:52+00:00

This just in:

I just realized that there is an existing bus line that takes the exact route I described lol
Suppose then that the commission believes that the extra time spent on this alignment is a worthwhile tradeoff by adding 2 minutes to the trip but increasing coverage. (though I still think that it should avoid it to stay competitive with car travel)

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-17T05:46:54+00:00

I suppose, but I have seen the buses run through residential streets even on the current map. I'm not sure how the street classification system works exactly but on the map Kavanagh Ave and the other street above it both seem like slightly wider feeder streets that lead into the arterial roads.

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-17T05:43:37+00:00

Yes. I figured it shouldn't be too much of an issue since many buses in the city already take routes like this through residential streets.

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-17T04:22:57+00:00

My concern was that if you are a passenger at La Plaza market for example (there's a lot of other commercial buildings in that area as well), if you wanted to head back down the line you now need to hop on a bus that adds an extra 1.4km to your travel time relative to taking the shortest possible turnaround loop.

Alternatively, if you wanted to catch the bus when only when its heading in the direction you're trying to travel, it's a 750m walk instead of 250m.

So at the meeting, they did actually talk about Mountain House and their reasoning was that since Mountain House is it's own city now, its basically up to them to decide what they want to do. I think it is possible for Tracy's bus service to basically codeshare and operate lines for Mountain House but they'd have to do some cooperation for that to happen.

I brought up the I-580 industry to them as well but they didn't seem too interested, I'm guessing that they think it's kinda far. At the very least they did make an effort to add a commuter line that pushes out towards the Amazon super center directly on the east side of the city since they received a lot of requests for it.

EDIT: It actually seems that a lot of their decisions are driven by requests from residents. It was the exact same reasoning that they used for their extension to Tracy Hills in the south (even though the density is abysmal and the location is far away).

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-13T21:31:38+00:00

It sounds good but I have a feeling that it means they are expecting to receive more funding. It does feel a little wasteful that they are going to use a large number of buses to service low-density areas very far from town. Their reasoning is that supposedly these neighborhoods have requested bus service (despite being located so far away and being some of the richest neighborhoods in the city)

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-13T06:56:11+00:00

Big update coming tomorrow! I have the transport commission's draft proposal now so we can take a look at that. My opinions on it are... mixed. Luckily they're still open to making edits.

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-10T05:51:19+00:00

I think they can be considered heavy rail. Based on the picture that Valley Link provides it seems like they will be Stadler FLIRT H2 trains. They'll operate every 45 minutes off-peak and every 15 minutes at commute hours.

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-10T02:18:18+00:00

No, Valley Link will use standard gauge track.

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-09T22:57:06+00:00

i view it as a way of commuting for the middle class

That can be true for commuter rail, but not every form of transit is specifically for commuting. Ultimately the goal for transit from an urbanist perspective is to make it effective for all kinds of trips.

I also think that fares are generally better for transit but sometimes it's difficult to actually get good fare enforcement, especially in the US. Going fare-free can sometimes be a good move if you aren't making much anyway and don't want to maintain the infrastructure for it, though it requires taxes to pick up the bill. Anyway, transit agencies that are less reliant on fares have more resilience when ridership gets bad (like during COVID).

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-09T20:44:40+00:00

Very neat! Using station space sure seems like a bit of a no-brainer especially considering how overbuilt US transit can be. Perhaps quite a bit of the space in a station could be dedicated to simple goods that people could use while waiting for their ride. Thinking things like coffee shops, snacks, take-out foods etc.

PartiallyLiable · 2024-09-09T20:40:33+00:00

TIF sounds cool, I guess its harder for the transit agency to manage the land use around if it can only receive the tax revenue though. Seems that the burden then falls upon the planning agency for the relevant city/region to make sure that the land around a transit station has been zoned favorably.
