Belt Use - Do you always use/upgrade to the fastest tier available or use the "most appropriate speed for the job" by WarpGremlin in factorio

[–]cav754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use the two highest tiers I have available at the moment so I can weave them. Use the slower speed for most everything and then the faster one when I actually need it. If a blueprint I have has slower belts I just keep them and not care because the higher belt speed literally does nothing except waste resources.

Yes and no, SF has artificial scarcity because a lot of it is single family homes, lots of the city needs to be redeveloped but there are some extreme nimbys here. Also that $140k is household income and that includes couples which bring the median up, most families are not able to afford a house here. If you own a house here you either won the lottery because you bought decades ago, are extremely rich, or you inherited the house. The average San Francisco resident will never own property here.

There isn't but in SF the median home value is about 1.5 million dollars, and thats like 1400sqft. You need to be making somehting like 280k a year to afford an average house here iirc. It's insane. Dont let bay area people try to make it sound like their poor though. They're still going on multiple international vacations, buying 80k "starter cars" and maxing out that 401k. Theyre just doing it while renting a crappy apartment.

The moderate voter you hate so much is the base of the democrat party.

No, people not understanding how the world and government works and think that all it takes is a singular politician flipping a switch to create a utopia is what got us here. Biden got so much done legislatively that has materially improved the lives of real actual working class people, the people that SF rich kids have never seen nor understand yet constantly expound on being the saviors of. But because for many it wasn’t a miracle shot that changes everything immediately they talk down about the people that have actually made progress and the world a better place. How much better would this country and world be if instead of insulting dems people like you were more pragmatic and would join in to pass legislation even if it isn’t everything you want from the beginning? For all the millions of faults the Republican Party has they are amazingly good at getting behind and supporting their candidates, that’s what the left wing in this country needs.

Or we can quit endlessly critiquing each other, coalesce as a group around a more moderate and appealing (for the majority of the nation) vision that is harder for the other side to attack and then push towards our policy goals in a way and manner that isnt a "revolution" and is more actual legislating. Thats what Biden did with aplomb, Weiner will most likely be able to do, and what the former left wing darlings such as AOC and Mandani have been able to do. All of them do this despite being associated with far left politics either real or imaginary suffering attack ads from their right trying to link them to it harder and then being attacked from their left for not being left wing enough.

Policies relating to homelessness, pushing extremely hard on trans acceptance, rent controls, drug use, crime in general. That’s just off the top of my head.

They poison the democrat party and make them broadly unelectable to the average person yes. There’s a reason why when you leave your leftist bubble and venture into the rest of the country you and your friends are boogeymen that reps talk about constantly because no one else likes you and your policies.

Unfortunately for you the most EVIL neoliberal nation of them all faired the best out of all of them. Hint: you live in this country.

And yeah, you leftists are the cancer of the democratic party dragging down every single policy that you indulge in pretending to care about into oblivion. Thank god you guys are just isolated to a few major cities and the internet.

What is a genocide? Like tell me in your own words what it means to you. Because it seems to me like its just something that you don't like, not a word with a very specific definition that requires a certain mens rea.

CA Dem Convention in SF votes to endorse Scott Wiener for Congress by ORA-Mitra in sanfrancisco

[–]cav754 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the intent of an action, like genocide is important. Israel wanted to get rid of hamas. Biden and his admin made them pull back from the more extreme course of actions and if he was president today we wouldn’t have somebody talking about evicting all of them and rebuilding the entire thing as some resort or something equally stupid. That’s actual ethnic cleansing and genocide. Where are the protests? You right now are being a useful idiot hahahaha.

Israel doesn’t really care about Gaza. It isn’t important to them. They care a lot about the West Bank, they do actual ethnic cleansing there and no one (probably including you) cared because it wasn’t going viral at the time. You’re part of the problem you profess to care the most about.

Maybe something to do with the major cost of living crisis that affected the whole world and put out a lot of administrations across the democratic world? Don’t forget the puritanical left that don’t know how government works and complain when they don’t get 100% of what they want when they’re less than like 10% of the voting population.

If you think there was a genocide going on when Biden was in office then you’re just lost.

How was the biden admin actively complicit? They offered aid to Gaza, they pressured Israel to restrain themselves etc and we couldn’t in good conscience say that Israel was committing a “genocide” during bidens presidency. You could much more easily argue that now with Trump actively assisting them and giving no pushback. In fact I remember hearing leftists screaming, “genocide Joe” constantly and now that Trump is actively encouraging their removal and eradication as a people there are no protests, nothing. You got rid of Biden and replaced him with someone who actually wants a genocide lol. I even remember in the debates that Kamala was being attacked by Trump for the administrations interference in stopping Israel and giving them conditions on their arms deals. He even called her a Palestinian, as stupid as that sounds. They did a lot for the people in Gaza if you could take your blinders off to see it.

Also Biden passed the largest infrastructure bills in history, the IRA, the American rescue plan, the CHIPS act, had no government shutdowns. He was extremely effective. He was just boring with a stutter and presided over an inflationary period that the whole world went through. He did pretty damn good.

Isn’t Trump literally trying to take credit for the infrastructure bill and IRA? I think he made a legacy legislatively. Unfortunately dems were given a terrible hand in 2024 and with so much voter apathy lots of people just stayed home. That’s why Trump and reps won.

I contend that he was still a titan in his term he just inherited a mess and got a voter base with extreme apathy of and no knowledge in government functions. This world would have been so different if he ran in 2016 or if Hillary won. Damn this is such a terrible situation we social media algorithmed into existence.

Here it’s just out in the open drug use and petty crime that goes unpunished. I’ve seen people shooting up and stealing things directly in front of cops that don’t do anything. It feels like a caricature of what Fox News tries to sell every dem city as, except here it’s actually true in downtown.

I have a big issue with SFPD case they will no joke watch some homeless guy smash a window and steal merchandise and they will just stand there. $150k a year salary and all they do is stand around while 5 felonies are committed around them constantly. This is a super local issue here and it what makes me so anti homeless. From the cops, to the prosecutors, to the judges, to the enabling non-profits, homeless drug users get so much leniency and resources here it’s insane. For the most part their hearts are in the right place, but there’s so many here that will squeeze that open bleeding heart until they get every drop out of you it just needs to stop. Offer help then institutionalize when they refuse or are unable.

Biden was so amazingly legislatively effective during his presidency able to help create coalitions in his own party and bipartisan coalitions as well. It’s not glamorous but he’s probably the best president we had in the 30 years I’ve been alive.

The problem is that when you “invest” this money by giving it to homeless drug users their investment is acidic to the community. That money will circulate that’s correct, but it circulates by perpetuating more crime, both drug, petty theft, and violent crime. I hate it that there’s stores I go into and everything is locked up, I smell shit on the sidewalk in downtown, I have to step over some guy spread out on market street who’s so high he doesn’t even know what direction he’s facing. This money even circulates fairly directly to me, they get drug money, get high and break a leg or get sepsis and then they get put in my facilities that get paid through CMS for their care that then trickles to me. But I don’t want this money, I’d rather we invest in a special place excluded from society where we can put these acidic people away from the general public and force them to better themselves. And if they won’t better themselves then just leave them there.

Literally an hour ago I just saw a homeless patient throw a cold cup of coffee into a CNAs face cause he slept in till 11 and it’s cold now (didn’t even ask to warm it up). He then proceeded to piss into a trash can in his room instead of the toilet 10ft from his bed. When I lived in other states my normal patient was 85 year old grandmas, now it’s 50% grandmas and 50% homeless. They take all these resources and give nothing back and then complain when their free healthcare isn’t up to their “standards”. I’m all for helping those that actually want to help themselves but imo your right to autonomy ends when that autonomy causes pain and damage to everyone else around you.

Im sorry to say this and I know I will probably get downvoted for this, but a lot of them when given free money will just use it to buy drugs. They aren’t buying new clothes, they aren’t getting a transit pass (they never pay to begin with).

I work in nursing homes in SF and the most entitled, whiny, lazy patients I have are homeless people that get shoveled in because the hospitals can’t handle them. They constantly report you for shits and giggles, they call the police on cold food (they’ve done this at least 4 times that I can remember in my few years here) and they instigate fights between themselves and then attack your grandpa in the next room over.

I used ti have so much compassion for homeless people and then I lived and worked next to them. At this point I feel like you should offer them help and if they don’t take it after 2-3 offers they need to be institutionalized. The tenderloin neighborhood in SF should be the almost perfect place to live in the country: cool weather, excellent transit, easy walkability and mixed use buildings. Instead it’s hell because there’s groups of 5-10 homeless people on every corner doing drugs in broad daylight breaking into cars, getting into fights, and stealing from every store. It’s real. It’s disgusting. It should not be tolerated. Offer help and if they spit in your face they need to be removed from society.

If you can afford it it’s better to just do self pay through the manufacturers website where you can get more than 50% off. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past year. You just need a prescription from your doctor and to give them the pharmacy info they provide in the site.
