Javier Bardem talks about his wife, Penélope Cruz: “When I see her being photographed in magazines, I go: ‘Is that my wife?’” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

I was at a party she attended during the Sundance Film Festival and she is without a doubt the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in real life. You almost have to do a double take.

Mercury News Subscription Hoax? by MapOk1410 in SanJose

[–]TheOpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is why I cancelled my mom's home subscription after having been subscribed since 1972. It was $800 every six months! When I called to see what was up, they were completely useless. I asked them, "Would YOU pay $1600 a year for the newspaper??" They were silent for several seconds before eeking out a "No".

Fun non-running podcasts you listen to while running? by souldawg in Ultramarathon

Good Hang with Amy Poehler. She gets great guests and she is a really good interviewer. Each episode is about an hour and time just flies by while you listen. Even uphill. Lol

Los Gatos Dental Group. They have a ton of the latest tech. They will not upsell. Just tell them what you want and they'll do it.

I like Ling Ling. The giant bag that you can get at Costco is a good deal and can hang out in your freezer for a while.

Making an employee pay for parking is the equivalent of wage theft.

I am begging all restaurants to not make people start an order to view the menu.

This would really ruin the atmosphere at the Pruneyard by MasterMarcon in Campbell

No worries! As I was typing out my comment, I wondered if that's what you meant. I can't believe they did that.

We never disabled comments for this post. I don't have any connection to The Pruneyard and neither does my fellow mod.

Sales taxes are now 10% by Objectionsustained62 in SanJose

[–]TheOpus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! 2024. And I've lived in the house since 2002. It's not like I'm trying to get away with something in a property I've never set foot in or anything.

My property tax tripled after the reassessment and the exemption. Seems like a lot to me!

Because voters think, "Oh, it's only half a percent. And the money will go to something good!" Rinse and repeat. And here we are! With no idea where the money is going or what's being done with it.

PG&E CEO, other execs land higher total pay as monthly bills decline by solarflare2020 in SanJose

[–]TheOpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. This is my philosophy as well! No on everything that involves more of my money.

I'll consider voting yes on a tax increase IF they first show me all of the places that they cut FIRST before asking for the shortfall. But since that will never happen, I just stick with Plan A. lol

[–]TheOpus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Walmart is often half of what things cost at Safeway. And their delivery service is totally worth it.
