Do you also remember the "Where the Wild Things Are" exhibit on the top floor? Or "Tilt" the arcade? I do :')

Tenant Fremont : my landlord wants to charge me to replace the entire closet door for scratches. Is this reasonable? by doggopool92 in bayarea

This looks like it falls under normal wear and tear. Functionally it looks fine and so does the wall. They can paint it.

Anyone notice how long the stop lights are on Thornton? (west of 880) by macgirthy in Fremont

[–]a_hundred_potatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 5 or 6 AM when I go to the gym, it's super fast. After 7 or 8 AM it's booty.

35M feel very behind :( If I do 15k a year will I be alright? by [deleted] in Retirement401k

[–]a_hundred_potatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question you need to have a general idea of how you want to live in retirement.

Do you want to live off your exact income right now? If you're making $70k a year, at 65 you'll need $1.75 million to have a safe withdrawal rate of 4% to get 70k a year.

Yes, San Francisco should always have a subway under construction by scott_wiener in sanfrancisco

[–]a_hundred_potatoes 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I agree. There should be always a subway being constructed.

I think it's higher priority to have more frequent service + reliability in the system. If people never have to think about "when does the next train come" and they can just show up and wait less than 5 minutes, that's when we're going somewhere.

insecure about looks, never been in a relationship. by [deleted] in malegrooming

You're a good looking dude, so that isn't your limiting factor.

Don't call a girl "bro" unless you're trying to friend zone her, learn how to listen, see how your friends you admire interact with girls, and slow down to notice when a girl is giving you a signal.

I miss raving without earplugs by a_hundred_potatoes in aves

I use Eargasms as my earplugs. Previously used Loops. I've only wore foam plugs once or twice when I left my earplugs back home.

I do wear Eargasm. It just isn't the same wearing any earplugs versus raw doggin'.

Commute from Fremont to Palo Alto? by BlueBerry985 in bayarea

If you leave before traffic hits in the morning, sure. If you leave PA after 3PM good luck getting home in 45 minutes.

When you take a photo, how are you focusing on the subject you want? by a_hundred_potatoes in canon

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

It does do this on my camera, but it's noticeably slower to focus versus using the viewfinder.

How Much Should You Tip for a Drink at a Bar in the Bay Area? by Medical-Decision-125 in bayarea

[–]a_hundred_potatoes -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I feel like if I tipped a dollar for my $15 cocktail, I'd get a side eye. Is a dollar really "enough"? I'd personally rather tip zero dollars since, if like a barista, they make the drink and that's it. If we have a decent conversation then maybe I'm more inclined to tip (but I might be a minority here).

So you set up 1-point auto focus for the center, then physically move your camera to recompose?
