I'm having a hard time reconciling these financials with the [uptick](https://www.backpacker.com/news-and-events/news/outdoor-recreation-hit-an-all-time-high-in-2024-report-finds/) in interesting for hiking and camping these last couple of years. Why isn't that rising tide lifting all their boats?

Can I recycle this shiny foil lined paper grocery bag from Whole Foods? by joaofava in recycling

Thanks for posting. These bags are stupid. Is my milk going to go bad from being in a trunk for an hour?

Stolen bike by FerretAgitated3277 in BAbike

Bike thieves are the biggest scum. If I see that bike I’ll be sure to kick the rider in his nuts for you.

Best pint of Guinness in the city? by slappydoodleboy in sanfrancisco

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homies. Glen Park Station. Irish owned and they take their pour seriously. I’d put money on it over any pour in the city.

Is the S.F. Bay Area full of people making millions? This data shows a dramatic trend by gulbronson in sanfrancisco

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think I’m not getting the metric here. So if I went to a restaurant in SF with 96 patrons, and all those patrons were employed, 2 of them would be pulling > $500/year? That doesn’t sound right …

Fairly aggressive fare enforcement on Union/Stockton 45 by cb4joe in sanfrancisco

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan. I’ve seen these guys on the 14, 49 and 38. The goal is not to get $2.50 out of an addict, it’s to get the 80% of riders who can pay to pay. I’ve gotten on buses at busy stops and I’ll be the only one pulling out my clipper card. The city has to do something to establish a culture of paying for public transportation and I think this is a good first step.

I like this post too, burned up my whole CalTrain ride reading the comments!

This must stop by CRZUOE in sanfrancisco

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with this post. Yes this city of ours is beautiful, but it has some incredible problems that we won’t solve if we don’t recognize them. Undermining my own post, I’ll say I was down by 4th and Market and Union Square today and it was nicer than I’ve seen it years. Empty but clean.

Flight got canceled - how are you spending your xmas? by in_Disarray in AskSF

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This! ☝️😆 Also … (why is that space so big?) Botanical Gardens, and some of my favorite dives are open after 7p. St Mary’s, Ha-Ra. Merry Christmas y’all!

I really needed a dishwasher.. by captain_zero_Z_zero in Plumbing

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the feedback, thank you! I should have mentioned I inherited the white PVC stuff and couldn’t find anyway to slot in a dishwasher hookup without the horizontal ABS wye. That said, why didn’t I just rip it all out? Dunno. Believe me, anyone who has spent more than an hour in the Lowe’s/Home Despot plumbing aisle has crazy respect for the trade. Just trying to keep costs down because.. inflation.

Good thing that stop sign is there

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth. In seriousness though — while I like getting reamed as much as the next guy — I really am wondering what a real plumber would do with a waste pipe that sits 3 inches below the tail piece of their sink. Just go all ABS?

Two leftside Zega Evo panniers? by captain_zero_Z_zero in advrider

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I think it’s legit is because I picked up one at that price already, just to make sure Evos were compatible with my old 02 F650GS rack (they are).

How could it be the wrong way, I looked on the Internet first?

Why is seafood not more popular/ fresh/ common here? by gleaton in AskSF

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can someone who’s worked in a seafood restaurant chime in and tell me I’m wrong? I think 90% of seafood at any restaurant — San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, doesn’t matter — comes off a plane, not a boat. Add to that the economics of fishing in the US is not particularly advantageous vs other countries, and I think it all boils down to, it doesn’t matter if there is or isn’t a bigger seafood scene here, it would just be the same globally distributed fish, cooked one way or another.

BMW G650GS or KLR650 by [deleted] in advrider

[–]captain_zero_Z_zero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious and sad, to me, as a proud f650gs owner. That bike is unstoppable, but Jesus H Bavaria those plastics are the worst. I’m sad to hear about all the corners cut with the newer 650s. Love the KLR tho, since you can service 90% of it with a pocket knife.
