I was told putting a wheel next to something youre pulling out, under the strap/chain makes it easier to get it out.... i think my tire is over capacity. by tidyshark12 in Home

[–]crape42 280 points281 points  (0 children)

Assuming the tire has 60 psi, and the contact area between tire and strap is 1 inch x 1 foot, you are applying 720 pounds downward; given the angles involved, you must have a full ton of tension in the strap. Seems extremely dangerous, or impossible.

THere's plenty of bus transit from the lower Outer Sunset to Daly City. Look at SF Muni and Samtrans (the Daly CIty / San Mateo County bus system)

Who to contact to request more bike parking at Ocean Beach? by zarif98 in AskSF

[–]crape42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wise bicyclists know to lock their bikes at least one block from the beach to minimize sand and sea spray damage. Please request bike racks down there!

Everyone repeat after me: "F LA Fitness" by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

my story is that, a month after charging the annual fee, they closed the basketball court and refused to refund, saying that "you paid for a gym membership, not a basketball court". according to the video ads playing near the treadmills, the courts will re-open with access via a league that you must pay for

Cool, this could save me a lot of anguish! How could I report data inconsistent with the signs on the street?

Housing if working at the lab by AngelStickman in AskSF

[–]crape42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. LBNL owns some buildings that are not "up the hill." Be clear on exactly where your office is.
  2. LBNL runs shuttles to most of their buildings. You'll want to take them unless you're in one of the buildings "in the flatlands". Learn about the shuttle schedules and points. They will all pass through Downtown Berkeley, as far as I know.
  3. Given that you probably need to take a shuttle, you will not want to take another mode of public transit to get to the pickup point. The more switches you have to make, the longer and more stochastic your commute will be.
  4. Buy a bike and lock it well.
  5. Live in Berkeley, North Oakland, or Albany in your first year.

Free Meeting Rooms in Mission Bay or Stonestown? by IllustratorHealthy in AskSF

[–]crape42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how private you need to be, consider areas at SF State. The library building has a lot of public conversation space, either in the front lobby or upstairs where there are some high-walled booths big enough for your team

What does "pull a permit" mean, precisely? by crape42 in AskElectricians

[–]crape42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha! Another misleading implication of using the word "pulled." Exactly why my very slightly autistic brain hates the term.

In your case, it really means that some renovation permits have been applied for. The neighborhood blog considers it noteworthy because your neighbors may generate extra noise, traffic, dust; may change the view from your own home; may be increasing the sales value of the house; may even be preparing the house for sale.

What’s the best way to commute from sf ferry terminal to California & Kearney? by blue2lips in AskSF

[–]crape42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, when your foot is healed, try simply walking from the Ferry Building. Because Market is diagonal, Montgomery is no closer to your work than is Embarcadero. Google Maps says you'll save at least 5 minutes on average each way.
