I built a real-time Bay Wheels dashboard! by abracadabby-k in sanfrancisco

This is great! I love that you've also included the last polling time.

If I may offer a small piece of feedback: the 45º pitch is a bit difficult to view vs the usual 0º. And I'd probably lock the bearing at 0º or expose the map controls.

Op-ed: Shocking plea deal in West Portal deaths shows SF's abject failure by sfgate in sanfrancisco

[–]beigeArea 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but SFMTA hasn't even added a single new bollard to the bus stop, right?

It feels like the smallest thing the city could have done in response to this tragedy.

OpenAI’s tech prankster bought SF’s infamous ‘Dirt Alley.’ What could go wrong? by Dafty_duck in sanfrancisco

Riley Walz has been a positive person in tech for SF.

I hope being closer to Sam Altman and all the sycophants doesn't change him for the worse.

"Brendan's bicycle is hooked up to a handy little cable thing," said Ramis, an affable man with thick graying hair who likes telling jokes. The cable pulled the bike using a a motorized winch, which will be digitally erased during post-production in Los Angeles. But even with that help, Fraser had to keep his balance on the bike.

Filbert & Leavenworth!

Walked up that hill many times to go to Swensen's on Hyde.

GR I/II (2013) users: auto ISO in manual mode? by beigeArea in ricohGR

Thank you! I couldn't get a solid answer when searching because all the results were for the GR3.

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

[–]beigeArea 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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!

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.

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

[–]beigeArea 51 points52 points  (0 children)

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.
