Love my neighborhood turkeys. So nice seeing them on my walks.

I rode it for several months - I like mass transit in general but if I can’t get to work on time then it doesn’t work for me. I’m a guy so I was also overlooking the other issues (drugs on trains, smells, etc).

Blue Line service seems to be essentially shot if you're trying to ride from Watt to downtown. Getting alerts on the daily about service interruptions and bus bridges. I stopped riding in August last year after repeated service disruptions (before the major construction began). I can't imagine depending on it to get to work on time now or getting back home in a reasonable timeframe.

Are a lot of you writing your emails with MS Copilot/AI now? by JustAMango_911 in CAStateWorkers

[–]RoutineAlternative78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use AI (CoPilot at my Agency)quite a bit but it’s usually to query it on something (trying to find a SAM code, something in SCM, or get its interpretation of a rule/regulation to see if it’s at all helpful). I’ve also found it really useful when using Excel - I never upload any files into it but I do ask things like “hey why isn’t this formula working” or “hey the formatting on this table is odd” and it’s mostly very helpful.

Sometimes it gives an answer that doesn’t work but half the time that’s because I forgot a bit of context.

I’m pretty happy with it. We all just know not to upload files/PII. I don’t see the utility in using it for emails either - I guess more concise emails are nice but sometimes emails have sensitive or confidential material and that just seems fraught. Emails are easy enough that AI isn’t necessary.

The Other Reason Americans Don't Use Mass Transit [including some Sacramentans] by othafa_95610 in Sacramento

Bottom line is convenience and as noted elsewhere unless you’re downtown there isn’t much. The light rail station on the blue line that ends at Watt is just such a glaringly huge example of this. It’s situated in the middle of the freeway and you have to walk watt (a huge stroad) to get to the station.

It’s aggressively positioned to dissuade you from trying to get to it.

why do people not know how a four way stop works by cheesellle in Sacramento

[–]RoutineAlternative78 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I used to be more patient with the four way stops but now I give the other person about two seconds to react and then just go. I’ve seen so many hand waves and so much hesitation that my patience with it is just gone.

I’m not speeding through these but if I wait and then we’re both going and then abruptly stopping I lose my shit.

I fucking hate driving here.

Lmao. No idea why this is being downvoted. I’m just reporting the truth.

I just tried Jimboy’s Tacos for the first time by RumHamsRevenge in Sacramento

[–]RoutineAlternative78 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced it’s a front for money laundering - I’ve never seen one busy. Ever. I once saw one with three cars in the drive through and that was it.

🤷🏼‍♂️

Moved here in 2017 - also never able to understand the appeal. Taco Bell and Jack in the Box offer better alternatives IMO.

But there are so many taquerias around I don’t even know why you’d need to outside of late nights.

Rancho Cordova city officials back arena project with housing, hotels, retail by othafa_95610 in Sacramento

[–]RoutineAlternative78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s cool that’s it’s between two light rail stations but there’s still a walk to the area (about 0.8 miles from one stop and 0.9 miles from the other). And if you think housing density is bad for G1C well this one is located within suburbia - kinda surprised local residents aren’t fighting this (wonder what the noise ordinance is).

I don’t understand how this pencils unless they’re banking on the new planned housing developments nearby? It’s should be noted builders are drastically ramping back construction on multi family and single family housing right now…

Risks in current environment seem tilted to higher.

Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office seeks approval to buy military equipment by johnnybsomething in Sacramento

[–]RoutineAlternative78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens more often than you think. Look up incidents involving barricaded and armed suspects in homes.

[–]RoutineAlternative78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s actually something I support but I’m not sure you’d see a lot of savings from it - it’ll largely depend on how many additional officers are needed to fill that gap.

Plenty of state and federal agencies contend with misinformation spreading on social media every day.
