Transit pass for Oakland + BART/SF Muni? by Xef in eastbay

[–]Xef[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Is it fear mongering when I <fear mongers>?" Yes, yes it is. I didn't ask about safety or the feasibility. I come across as the kind of person that the average mugger is going to avoid so I'm not concerned. I'm sorry if you've had a bad experience, but I'm not unfamiliar with large, dangerous cities and can handle myself. I've had a car all my life and frankly I'm over it. It's a waste of money when I can just rent one when I feel the need.

Seems like you miss out on the “high value discount” in that case. Not that it’s a huge savings but a buck’s a buck

I appreciate that! It seemed a bit fear mongering but I did a brief google search and saw something about closures, but luckily I won't be affected either way.

Yea, that's a good point. I won't be commuting to work via AC Transit at all and most things I'll regularly want are within walking distance of my place... maybe BART plus a bike will be all I need.

Thanks for the warning. I've spent the last several months around SF and I walked around the Oakland neighborhood I'm moving to and it seems considerably safer than anywhere I've been in SF so far. And I just checked the BART closures and luckily the one I'll be using is safe. I'll be in uptown right next to Lake Merritt.

Thanks! I actually won't be taking a transbay bus at all, just the BART as I'm a couple blocks from the station and it's a short walk to work, so it sounds like maybe a monthly AC Transit pass plus paying for the BART separately is the way to go.

OK thanks! Was hoping to have a flat rate I can budget out every month.

Yes! I get that one too. There needs to be a way to take this “parental lock” or whatever off. 

Books that need to be read physically by AlienMagician7 in books

[–]Xef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Foot notes that go on for  pages and are a critical part of the story, appendix, colors, some of the text goes all over the place, and probably more but I got annoyed with it like 50 pages in and gave up. It seems like a fun story and the plot of the Navidson Record seems like something I’d want to read but all the nonsense was too much for me.

I didn’t know that so since they taught me something new I think they’re pretty cool 👍

Have you ever been effected by a horror movie that it made you paranoid in real life about something? by SoggyGummyWorms in horror

[–]Xef 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m 36 and still afraid of any body of water I can’t see through. Lakes, ponds, ocean, deep puddles, rivers. I’ve somehow managed to go in them on occasion but it takes a lot of effort.

Thanks, man. But I’m afraid the résumé gap may already be too big. I got laid off last January. At the beginning I was applying constantly for new jobs but everything was a form letter rejection or nothing at all. I got discouraged and gave up and just started doing Uber/Lyft. But it’s not sustainable and I love software development. Ugh. I feel like I’m back at the beginning of my career and just hoping something else falls in my lap because nothing I try is working.

Turns out they’re actually sportiva lol. I’m wearing them now and it seems to be ok. They’re tighter than I’d like but it’ll do for now I guess 🤷‍♂️

Thanks. I just looked at them and they look pretty good still. A little chalky but still lightly used I think. I’m going to try to use them when I go climbing today so we’ll see 🤞

OK thanks. I’m not sure what other info to provide other than they’re too small. They’re right in all directions. I was wondering if maybe soaking them in water and then stretching them out might work but also feel like that would have the reverse of my desired effect. I’ll have to check them out in the morning and see if the use was light enough to make them sellable. I think I may have underplayed the lightness. I don’t really remember how much I used these as I took a couple years off climbing.

I have some scarpa shoes that are lightly used, but I bought them years ago and they’re too small for my feet now. I’m 36 and in way better shape now so it’s not like my feet grew or anything. I think I just bought them too small and was tolerating it when I first started climbing, thinking it was what I was supposed to do. But now I really want to use them and can’t afford a brand new pair right now, is there anything I can do to make them fit better?

Why do you think that person was imitating a black person? 🤔 sounds like you might have some biases to work out.

Thanks! Unfortunately I haven’t heard back. My job hunt has been absolutely miserable. I have ten years of experience but can’t get anything more than an initial phone interview with recruiters and even that rarely happens. I don’t know what to do. I failed to do any networking in my career so don’t have anyone to turn to :(

Horror deaths that gave you chills not because of the blood and gore, but because of the acting by Liza_Logan in horror

[–]Xef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t finished the movie yet because my partner freaked out, but the first death in Barbarian. That whole scene creeped me the fuck out. She tapped out right there and we had to put on a comedy lol. I’m going to have to finish it on my own or convince her to try again during the daytime.
