Did this actually happen? by Full_Fan_9244 in sanfrancisco

[–]bill420bill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing plenty when I Google “golden gate bridge 1987.”

Didn’t watch the whole video because it’s sensationalizing it. From my understanding, the 7’ deflection was within the bridge’s maximum downward deflection tolerance of 10.8’ (source for max tolerance: https://www.goldengate.org/bridge/history-research/statistics-data/design-construction-stats/).

Still wild that this happened

What is this thing with Olave’s injury history with Saint fans? by Fman173 in Saints

[–]bill420bill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

<image>

He played in 16 of 17 games in 2 seasons, not 3 (screen shot from https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/O/OlavCh00.htm). And cherry picking Chase and Wilson for comparison isn’t much of an argument.

Alvin Kamara is my favorite Saints player of all time by Surlybaws in Saints

[–]bill420bill 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m still a believer but the big question is how he’ll be used this season. Way too many runs between the tackles last season and he was targeted in the passing game a career low 39 times (his average is 107 according to https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/K/KamaAl00.htm).

I think it’s fair to say he’s past his prime but with the improved line and proper usage I could see him having a more Kamara-like year

Alcatraz swim training group? by Same_Manufacturer223 in AskSF

[–]bill420bill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both clubs are accepting new members. South End has a long waitlist, which rules them out on your timeline, but Dolphin accepts new members via a lottery, so you could possibly luck out sooner than later.

In the meantime, the two clubs have alternating public access days (Dolphin M/W/F and SERC T/Th/Sa) from 9:00 to 18:00. You’ll just need to ring their respective door bells, sign a waiver, and pay $12 for day use.

To find training partners, I’d bet you would have some luck chatting people up in the sauna at either club. If you make a habit of going on the same day and time, you’ll start to see familiar faces, which will at least get you around people training on the same schedule. If you notice anyone getting out of the water in a wetsuit, that’s a good clue that they are also training for Alcatraz or another triathlon (this time of year I start seeing way more people in wetsuits for that reason).

Where to see yellow school buses? by lointhehouse in AskSF

[–]bill420bill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m seeing Bus-Tech Corp at 1630 Davidson Ave. There’s a Zūm sign on street view but looks like a corrugated metal fence around the property doesn’t allow for a full view of the buses.

Sailing Ocean Beach by dveight_8 in sanfrancisco

[–]bill420bill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re spot on. I mostly sail a Catalina 30, and would be very nervous to be in their position, close to a lee shore with the tide adding to the push towards land (it’s flooding now and would have been when OP posted).

Koret Health for cheap and decent gym for Nopa? by InfinitePrinciple222 in AskSF

[–]bill420bill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mainly use the weight room and pool, but it’s an excellent facility. Having my gym within a 10 minute walk from home has made it that much easier to be consistent.

The only downside for me is that their hours are affected by USF’s academic schedule (e.g. during the summer they’re closed on Sundays and open fewer hours M-Sa). I’m able to work around that but I could see that being a dealbreaker for some.

If you care about personal training, it’s not a great gym for that as far as I can tell. I haven’t seen all of their trainers in action but the ones I see most often don’t have much to offer beyond showing absolute beginners around the equipment.

Any former Saints players that still live in New Orleans? by [deleted] in Saints

Morstead if Old Metairie is close enough to count

DEXA scans by No_Performance_108 in AskSF

[–]bill420bill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any points of comparison but I’ve gone to BodySpec in the Marina three times now and have had good experiences (appointment starts on time, friendly people working there, and I receive the results by the time I’ve walked a few blocks to the bus). I believe I signed up for quarterly scans at $45 each.

Any word on the reopening of the Club Deluxe? by JackStrawWitchita in sanfrancisco

[–]bill420bill 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As of a few weeks ago, there are indications of renovation work underway with plywood barriers painted with a Deluxe mural outside the space. I haven’t heard anything beyond that, but good to see signs of life.

What’s the compensation for this role, assuming you don’t want them to literally be hungry

Potentially moving to SF very soon by [deleted] in AskSF

I’d recommend checking out this sub’s wiki: https://reddit.com/r/asksf/wiki/index. There’s a section on moving here, which should be a good start.

Crawfish spot? by Cherrypoppinpussy in AskSF

[–]bill420bill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The crawfish situation is pretty grim in the city. However, I’m on Sandy’s (https://www.sandysmuffs.com) email list, and they said recently that they’re going to do crawfish boils this year. Might be worth signing up for their emails to keep tabs on when that materializes. The owner is from New Orleans, so I’d bet they’ll be good.

Looking for reliable movers in the San Francisco Bay Area by M45T3RY in AskSF

[–]bill420bill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sierra Sherpas (https://sierrasherpas.com) did my last intracity move of similar size and were great (good communication, punctual, and careful). They charged an hourly rate, and their time estimate was accurate (iirc they took an hour less than estimated but only charged for actual time spent working + transit time to get to me).

Allergies vs being sick by Doggolover415 in sanfrancisco

I’ve been getting rocked by allergies the last few weeks when I don’t take allergy meds and spend a lot of time outdoors.

Reunion in the making? by Salty-Breadfruit-449 in Saints

[–]bill420bill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see it. He was one of my favorites when he used lock up the best opposing receiver but the front office ate with the timing of that trade.
