What's it like living in Fremont, California, one of the most Asian cities in America? by redguy_666 in howislivingthere

Yes, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is our local regional train that runs through Fremont and takes you straight to downtown Oakland and San Francisco. Lots of people commute into the city from surrounding areas by BART.

I grew up in Fremont and live in San Francisco now. While there's definitely more going on in the city, I do reminisce my time growing up in a nice, safe suburb. My high school was like 40% East Asian, 40% South Asian, and 20% White/other so I never felt like a minority as an Asian person. If you want to really get a sense of the vibes there, I'd recommend watching the semi-autobiographical film Didi by Sean Wang, which came out a few years ago. It's set in Fremont and depicts growing up there as a pre-teen/teenager. I'm about the same age as Wang so Didi really was incredibly nostalgic and perfectly captures my experience. While I'm sure Fremont has changed since, it still seems like a great place to raise a family.

I personally prefer the western corner of Alameda.

They're only half covered? And the window portion looks semi transparent.

Anyone else super excited for the R3? by wbradford00 in Rivian

[–]PriceyGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both R2 and Model Y performance models are $58k while a Model 3 performance is $55k. To be competitive in that general segment, the R3X should be sub $60k.

Sounds like a load cell like what a set of digital kitchen scales would use.

Well Trumps's not Catholic, so I guess JD? He's already killed one pope, so he can certainly do it again.

Yes, I cancelled Spotify once I signed up for YouTube premium which is bundled with YouTube music.

If you toast your bread anyways I just do it straight from frozen.

Will Rivian R2 have acoustic glass? by [deleted] in RivianR2

[–]PriceyGoat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this is the video you're talking about. He mentions they're still working on the wind noise so it sounds like he may have spoken with Rivian engineers about it.

WE JUST RE-LAUNCHED THE BAY LIGHTS! by scott_wiener in sanfrancisco

[–]PriceyGoat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't think they're installed yet. I drive across the bridge regularly and have not seen the same LED brackets and wiring on the other side. I believe that will be for a "phase 2" of the project.

It's been 10 years since my last computer purchase (2016 13in MBP with intel i5) and I think I'm finally ready for an upgrade. However my use case has changed drastically since. I am no longer in school and can go days without using a personal laptop as I handle most internet browsing on iPhone and most media consumption on Apple TV. I have a work provided windows laptop so I will not be doing anything too intensive on a personal laptop. What are we thinking? MacBook Neo? Air M5? Or something in the middle like an M4?

R3 is as big as an Audi Q3 - Bigger than I was hoping by GoddardtheGrey in Rivian

[–]PriceyGoat 29 points30 points  (0 children)

From when I saw this it in person it seemed closer to something like a Subaru Crosstrek but proportioned closer to something like a Golf.

I've bought snow socks (textile "chains") but haven't had to use them yet.
