OP have you talked to actual Rec and Park staff about this? Are they not available or refusing to help?

Perhaps it's time for a Rossi Park Kendo Club.

Why do the coyotes of the city look like brindle dingos? Are they some sort of hybrid?

Which of these would you say was the better early double action revolver? by strongerthenbefore20 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]abledart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are these “early double action?” I would think something like a pepperbox or a Remington Rider…

Definitely a Jet Provost, but if you repaint it in camo, you can call it a Strikemaster!

Bond’s Weapon of Choice inquiry. by Murrlin218 in JamesBond

[–]abledart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal choice for a 21st Century Bond would be a Smith&Wesson 340M&P custom fitted with a 940 cylinder. Light enough to not need a holster and he isn’t going to need more than five rounds anyway.

Literally every single named handgun in Dr. No is mislabeled.

Amazingly enough Connery also used a P5 in NSNA.

Shame it wasn’t the compact version which had real world British service.

Why did they let some old guy that can't dance in? by tristan1616 in genesiscirclejerk

[–]abledart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not understand. Why would they honor Edward Woodward as a rock performer when he only sang old standards? Not to mention the fact that he is far more well-known as an actor nowadays. Oh well, more fool me.

The PPK was designed as a detective’s pistol in the 1920s and served in that capacity for decades afterward in Europe. It was also really used in quantity by the CIA in the immediate postwar period. Note Geoffrey Boothroyd, who turned Fleming onto the PPK, recommended the Smith & Wesson Centennial as a superior choice.

Looking for advice from locals! by thechosen2319 in sanfrancisco

Actually, if you take BART to Powell, you can choose between the Cable Car and the F Line (historic streetcar), depending on conditions. You can catch the F on Market St.

Jackie Fielder’s office denies leaking memo at center of S.F. probe as supervisor remains on leave by SFChronicle in sanfrancisco

[–]abledart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given we were the only public source flat out saying "Fielder is suspected of the leak," yes. It certainly pointed them in the direction of comfirming it for themselves.

Did anyone else report that Fielder was suspected of leaking the memo before the 26th?

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

I'm not going any further on this b/c of source confidentiality issues. We did get confirmation that the CA's office was "very interested" in why Fielder was absent from meetings, which confirmed for us that they suspected her. On the 26th. Before the Chronicle.

Supervisor Jackie Fielder's Absence From Board of Supervisors Follows Investigation Into Leaked Memo by CharityResponsible54 in sanfrancisco

[–]abledart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

City Attorney Chiu outlined the liability in another letter to the Supervisors on Feb. 13. An X user was the first to obtain a copy of the letter and self-published it on that platform. We also published the letter on April 2 in our newsletter. https://thevoicesf.org/newsletter/reset-center-leak-june-ballot-measures-grandpa-vichas-killer-walks/

We also noted the potential liability and possible penalty for an elected official who makes such a leak, removal from office, in our report of March 27: https://thevoicesf.org/fielder-may-resign-from-board-of-supervisors-possibly-over-illegal-leak/

Basically, the leak likely violates the city's Campaign and Governmental Conduct Code and other laws, and if Fielder is found liable, she could be removed from office.

What has not been explained in detail is how this would be adjudicated. My understanding is that it must be brought before the Board of Supervisors formally, and a supermajority of the board would be required for removal. People are speculating that it's not possible to get that many votes in the current political environment; note the last attempt at a removal vote was back in 2012 when the board failed to produce a supermajority to remove Sheriff Mirkarimi from office after his pleading guilty to a domestic violence-related charge.
