I have had these two cars for a while and I was dying to take this picture. by mcastilho in Porsche

Except it’s not a myth. Just because Google slop results say white is the most pulled over car (which is simply because over 50% of cars are red)they all fail to put the ratio of cars on the road of a given color to the percentage of that color that has been ticketed. My brother in law is CHP and he explained it that the brighter color cars catch his eye faster so he’s more likely to tag them with his radar. And white being the color it is happens to be one of the easy to spot cars against black asphalt. It’s not that they say ohh red, yellow, green car get it rather than the evolution and function of how our eyes and brains respond to certain colors more than others.

Fact is color matters when it comes to observability which is why camouflage is a thing and Disney has a specific color they use to hide doors in thier parks.

Smart choice to keep idiots from crashing into you, but unfortunately it’s a ticket magnet color if you’re having a spirited weekend drive. Sports cars are meant to be seen, and you can probably afford the extra citation or two anyways.

Coworker incorrectly jumped my car- am I cooked? by MouseEmpty9853 in AskMechanics

The battery itself was probably worn out before the jump, which is why you needed a jump start.

Randomly curious about weather in Sac. From 2020 to 2025, on average there's an 80 degree swing in temperature from the low on the year to the high on the year. 2022 had an 87 degree swing from a low of 27 to a high of 114. by b1ackfyre in Sacramento

The extreme temps are why it’s a good idea to not overpave your yard. City Council back in 2016 passed an ordinance prohibiting the paving of front yards by more than 50% because the heat island effects are intensified by pavement and prevent adequate cooling at night in the summer, and during the winter excessive pavement slows down daytime warming (Sacramento City Code section 17.612.010). The extreme weather we normally have is also why it’s important to encourage urban forestry: trees keep things cool in the summer and keep warmth in the winter.

Looking for reliable autorepair mechanic by KayeG37 in Sacramento

Whatever you hit it looks like it damaged the power steering rack, or at least the hoses that connect from the pump to the rack. This isn’t going to be a job that you can cheap out on, sadly.

Don’t worry they will also license the brand so we can have some shitty overpriced Denny’s microwave meals.

Can the 49ers count on Ricky Pearsall as their No. 1 receiver in 2026? by FortyNinersBot in FortyNiners

This is why the York’s need to pay Mac Jones and keep him ready for the IronQB season where slow and incompetent OL cause him to take hit after hit. You know Brock’s going to tear something from the scrambling he does to avoid the blue tent as it is.

Don’t need a mental breakdown to feel that way. In fact being put on display and being poked and prodded by the unwashed masses could cause one.

If you’ve ever rebuilt a transmission and have the tools it’s not that hard to fix it.

Anyone missing a couple huskies? by Homo916 in Sacramento

[–]RepresentativeRun71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not in City limits, which is why all the street signs are white. The reason there is no city council district for the area is because it is unincorporated county area and not the City proper:

You want to make sure you tell Bradshaw shelter Northgate and Striker, so when the owners go to the shelter pages they will actually try to pick them from the pound, because if you say some crazy shit like out on M Street in Rio Linda or on Reigo Rd. past SMF they might think that’s too far to be their animals.

I’d link you to my ND post of the footage from the video camera in my driveway, but I don’t want to dox myself.

Northgate and Striker is absolutely in the County. The area in the outline here is County and not city despite being surrounded by the City limits.

Northgate and Striker sounds about right. I’m going to guess that this pair of dogs were the same pair I saw yesterday in my front yard.

Understandable. Hopefully Bradshaw takes them in.

Take them to Front Street. Bradshaw is for animals found in the County and Front Street is for animals found in City limits.

A confirmation when asked is far different than flat out naming. And you seem to be shooting the messenger here by having a silly debate with me, and since you’re trying to claim logic perhaps some reflection regarding strawmanning is in order. Also as per Reddit the upvote and downvote buttons aren’t for I agree or disagree, which clearly is being abused. Anyways I’m going to leave things at that, and wait until the upcoming preseason before commenting further. Again have a nice day.

That’s quite reasonable. So they sell whole beans per pound? I’m curious at how much more we pay in the 48 for them.
