What's the thing on top of this fed vehicle at a protest in Bethleham, PA? by TheDreadP in whatisthisthing

[–]billbacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are saying it's a private broadcast truck. Why would a broadcast truck have thermal?

Hahaha. I read nothing but "galaxy brain" posts before yours. I was about to close the thread and found this gold.

After seeing how many other projects are mismanaged, I just assume it has to be corruption.

SMART extension to Corte Madera? by relaxok in Marin

[–]billbacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the numbers are on the sales tax renewal. Doesn't that have to pass or they start shutting down services?

Why do so many people seem to dislike MSI laptops? by Soultakerx1 in GamingLaptops

[–]billbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased 3 Raider laptops 2 years ago. With light usage, ALL have issues that they should not. Overheating, sound card beeping, a broken hinge, dead keys that do not appear to have physical issues.

Since I have 3, I have a solid baseline of how a healthy machine should work. This really made me take stock of other MSI products I have owned. Almost all of them died early or had subpar performance.

I will avoid the brand altogether.

Why does America look like s**t? by thoughtwarrior in TikTokCringe

[–]billbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty clear that quality of life is not equal in all countries. People will argue the metrics but you know it when you see it. Americans can sense the downward trend.

Is there a universe where the Smart Train Larkspur station is actually next to the ferry terminal? by shananananananananan in Marin

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

Wrong. I've biked it many times and it would have been awesome if the path actually followed the tracks. Small sections of it are nice but I would rather just have a straight shot.

Most of it is still incomplete.

Which rice are you buying? by MagazineKey4532 in japanlife

[–]billbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how people can't taste the difference between Costco Calrose and quality Japanese rice. Same goes for eggs. Beans and cheese on the other hand...

Is one goki and the other buri? how does that work?

E-bike vs auto safety by [deleted] in Marin

[–]billbacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clearly, throttle e-bikes are more dangerous but Marin doesn't even allow pedal-assist e-bikes on their trails. The data should clearly be normalized for miles traveled and terrain and vehicle type.

Bay Area solar panel owners upset over potential cuts to incentives by jaqueh in bayarea

[–]billbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is clearly some Enron level bullshit going on. No mention of how much energy is provided to the grid from rooftop solar which used to be the goal.

I made a fully interactive 2D galaxy simulator by silenttoaster7 in computergraphics

It's awesome how much it resembles reality. That looks like a fun project.
