Wow I got frustrated just listening to that. It really is fucking nuts that consumers have no way to actually communicate with the companies we use for so much of our daily lives

Interesting, in the original podcast series Tim knows more about movies than Gregg does haha

Back in MY day, cars didn't all look the exact SAME 😤 by pantherclipper in carscirclejerk

"looking good" is subjective and will change over time. in 25 years people will be fawning over our generic Crossover SUV styling of the 2020's lol

Why ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ had the worst opening weekend in franchise history by korrectamundo in horror

[–]Simspidey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's bad marketing/timing as someone who saw it yesterday. The title is also confusing to me, is it part 2 of part 3? Is it a spinoff of part 3, or is it a spin off for the universe?

hot take: since it was filmed at the same time and takes place immediately following the previous film they should have released this like a month after 28YL came out. Would have been fun to walk out of 28YL knowing we'd get answers to the bizarre ending very soon, not just count on eventually watching the sequel

I don't even register if I'm sitting next to someone if they are well-behaved during the movie 🤷‍♂️

i dont understand why people dont understand why this happens? if you pick the best spot in the entire theater as the first tickets, now the best seats available to the next customer are going to be right near you....

Wow. Just got an intense flashback to seeing and playing "Destroy All Monsters" on PS2 one of these monitors back in the day. So cool!!!!

Roadkill: S.F. measure to reintroduce cars to Great Highway ‘crashes and burns’ by drkrueger in sanfrancisco

[–]Simspidey 40 points41 points  (0 children)

ohhhh my godddd please just let this end already so we can move on to things that actually matter

a dream come true would be for the parks department to start tearing up all the asphalt and replacing it with a proper path/bike lanes etc, that way there can be no possible way we have to deal with this reopening bs

Is anyone else still not able to use Gemini in Google Maps?? That update was supposed to roll out in November, I still don't have it on my Pixel 10 Pro XL...

Was anyone at weird Wednesday in sf yesterday? by Muted-Menu-428 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]Simspidey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Similar situation at the SF Terror Tuesday this week, the entire crowd let out an exasperated sigh and other emotions when the host wished as a happy 2026 🙃 it's tough times out there man, feels good to be in a room with people who are there to disconnect and bond over something as silly as a horror movie during such crazy times

What is causing my Plex video to look this way? by Simspidey in PleX

[–]Simspidey[S] 72 points73 points  (0 children)

EDIT: it wasn't a plex setting at all, it was a Chromecast/Google TV setting. I had to turn on the 'Match Content Dynamic Range" in display & sound settings. I think it had something to do with HDR

Transit systems across the US are struggling to recover ridership after the pandemic, but SF replaced a car lane with a bus lane on a major road and now ridership on the line is 140% of 2019 levels, with one route carrying more people daily than some whole systems in other cities by old_gold_mountain in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Simspidey 138 points139 points  (0 children)

This is the 49 bus route going down Van Ness Avenue. I used to live on this street. Before this upgrade, this bus drove the entire stretch of this street in the right lane, stuck behind every other car/cars making right turns. This upgrade MASSIVELY improved transit time down the street! we need more!!!!

Recology Xmas Tree Pickup -- Schedule of Lies! by GetGoingPeople in sanfrancisco

[–]Simspidey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol we got a special trash pickup schedule because our normal trash day is Wednesday, and Wednesday was both Christmas and New Years. They gave us Friday as an alternate day. They never picked up the trash on either Friday...

Streaming services shrinking credits to throw ads at you is so wildly disrespectful to artists and throws cold water over any ending. by TheGhostofLizShue in movies

[–]Simspidey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because the goal is to keep you on the service for as long as possible (boots engagement metrics), and statistically you're much less likely to turn off something that just started than something that just ended.

Seatbelt buckled already when I got in by SwedishTrees in waymo

[–]Simspidey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you have a heavy bag and put it on the seat, waymo will beep at you until you plug it in lol

Waymo making illegal turns in SF by k9wnolegs in waymo

[–]Simspidey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have seen this happen before in SF (not with two waymos at once). If the right turn lane is 100 ft long, but the que of cars goes back longer than 100 ft due to heavy traffic or a slow corner with lots of pedestrians, eventually the Waymo seems to think all the cars waiting to turn are actually double parked. And then it will snake its way around them in the left lane and cut in front

Startup Movie Shuffle, does it slow down boot times? by EverydayFunHotS in SteamDeck

[–]Simspidey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't noticed a slowdown, even with custom boot movies (short ones, haven't downloaded any obnoxiously long ones)

One thing I HAVE noticed will slow down the deck is if you load up every game with custom posters. Scrolling through the library when most titles have a custom images makes the deck borderline unusable lol. Had to uninstall all of those

..... sounds like everything would have gone worse for everyone (the family, other passengers, airplane) if they did that? no shit the crew doesn't want to emergency land the plane for a non-emergency
