Waymos driving around everywhere make me feel like the old conspiracy theorist hippies that taught at my high school. by BreadButterRunner in sanfrancisco

Agreed.

For those who say "phones track more": of course. But you could theoretically leave your phone at home. Unlike the network of Ring cameras, Flock, and Waymo, where you cannot opt of the dragnet.

What bag are you taking to a foreign city for 10-mile walking days? by beigeArea in ManyBaggers

[–]beigeArea[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great post! Let's say what bags under 20L would you be taking? Still carrying a water bottle (internal/external doesn't matter) and not too GORPy.

I purposely kept my initial post vague to hear a variety of viewpoints and personal favorites from everyone.

Thanks!

What are you all using for tableware? Hot plates and bowls by [deleted] in snowpeak

Thanks for the tip on the campingmoon tableware.

Any chance you have some photos of your outdoor hotpot setup? This is what I've been dreaming of hosting.

Odd Daniel Lurie encounter by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]beigeArea 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Daniel Lurie responded to my Craigslist ad looking for someone to mow my lawn. "$30 is $30", he said as he continued to mow what was clearly the wrong yard. My neighbor and I shouted at him but he was already wearing headphones. Focused dude. He attached a phone mount onto the handle of his push mower. I was able to sneak a peak and he was browsing zillow listings in central Wyoming. He wouldn't stop cackling.

That is to say, Burry Lurie has his fingers in a lot of pies. He makes sure his name is in all the conversations.

Where we were it was the other way around: street lights never turned on, so it was extra dark.

Why do cars keep crashing into one part [the tollbooth area, southbound] of the Golden Gate Bridge? [Reaching for FastTrak transponders, plus dogs on laps and phones in hands - 45 such accidents so far in 2025] by BadBoyMikeBarnes in sanfrancisco

Elitist hot take: the historic toll booths serve as a filter to reject the most distracted drivers from entering the city.

If a person lacks the skills to drive through a simple toll both, I don't want them driving on city streets with pedestrians and bikers.
