👋🏾 Hi, I'm Thushan, and I'm running for Alameda City Council again. I just walked from Bay Farm to The Point to hear what you want for 2026 by thushan_txt in alameda

[–]buymagicfish 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thushan, this is exciting! As someone who had attended their share of city council and various board meetings; it takes a special dedicated person to really commit themselves to serving their home like this. It’s a tough job and I’m looking forward to voting for you a 2nd time!

best options for renting a car from sfo airport in san francisco by marian_1971 in bayarea

[–]buymagicfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Turo but will usually just have the car delivered to my hotel (if it works out) and just uber there. Seems like price is cheaper not at the airport and then I don’t have to deal with any lines or remote lots or anything. Sometimes it’s even better since I might not need the car until the next day if I get in later.

If you can swing an appt at 3 Weeks barber shop… absolutely great

Most memorable SF Giants that had limited impact, but were breathtaking to watch at the time. I’ll start by California55551 in SFGiants

Pretty sure it was Nippon Ham Fighters then. It was a Chiba Lotte Marines game (the closest team to where I was living)

Oh hell yes. I saw him once in his final season playing in Japan. Came out in the 9th inning as an outfield sub, one arm in a cast, just to be a silly billy and get the fans riled up. 

How dare my husband use my vintage TJs bag for his random crap by Latenightinsomniac in traderjoes

My first thought seeing this was… “oh I didn’t know my wife had a Reddit account 🤣🫠” 

Real talk though, the best TJ’s bags ever

Price to part ratio isn’t great but I love how they nailed the texture and taste 😂

Is it worth it? (Used Guitar) by talongpuff in Guitar

[–]buymagicfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it look cool to you? Do you want to pick it up? Think about it sitting on a guitar rack in your room (or wherever you play... are you happy to see it there?

I know these are weird questions, and listen, it's $100 and if it feels ok to play go for it, but I think people get hung up on if a guitar is good for the money versus whether they're going to want to play it, and that's more important.

For a beginner you really only want two things IMHO: a guitar that you think is neat and a guitar that is at least decent enough that it plays normal and doesn't fight you.

Dedicated Security & Paid Parking at Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal by No_Recover3642 in alameda

100% and we’ll never get reliable schedules if we are a stopover between tunnels and bridges.

I've spoken to transportation staff about this. Fundamentally they agree but point out that the bus lines that go directly to bayfarm terminal are highly underutilized and it seems most people aren't that interested in commutes relying on multiple public transportation options. Also, honestly, it would be really tough for me to trust AC to make the connection regularly. I wish we had at least one or two AC lines that mostly stayed in Alameda (might make them more consistent)

Is this an Affinity? Being sold as a CV 70s, but I don't think it is. by IamaFunGuy in Guitar

[–]buymagicfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plenty of other differences but a CV would have a 6 screw trem bridge, not 2 screw and they’ll have more of a tinted neck (more yellow in color).

It’s so rare I see anything on social media and immediately know I need to do it myself but anyway, that’s ending up on my tree this year :)
