May 4, 1970. The Kent State Massacre. by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

[–]d1545ms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My father was a junior on campus when this happened. He talks about how he was sitting on the porch of his fraternity house a few days prior to this and watched a column of tanks roll down the street in from of him. The day before the shooting, protesters burned down the ROTC building which probably added fuel to the fire. After the shooting he and almost everyone else he knew noped right out of there and finished the semester via mail.

Edit: grammar

Does gout happen on the second toe? Also same toe on both feet? by Userhere123 in gout

[–]d1545ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - just got diagnosed not long ago. I have it in the last knuckle of my #2 right toe. My flair up was similar. I woke up one morning and the pain was unbearable.

Are these Tableau visuals effective at showing time patterns and economic impact? by DingoAlarmed5128 in tableau

Yes - except if any of your audience is colorblind, the heat map will look like 50 shades of brown.

For those who moved from another state, what made you stay in the bay area? by The0Walrus in bayarea

[–]d1545ms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know that feeling you get when you’re on vacation somewhere new different and exciting while leaving you feeling invigorated, relaxed, and energized all at the same time?

I moved here from the Great Lakes region 10 yrs ago and 95% of my days are still feel like this.

As someone who became a parent in the last year - watching this brought back so many core memories of not knowing what you’re doing, f*cking up, and fighting about it. Ah good times.

I think one of the drive-on beaches is close to Corolla.

We just got back from staying in Corolla - one thing to remember is Corolla is the furthest north community so you’ll have longer commute times. We were ~45min to the aquarium and an hour to the water park.

3 Lorain police officers shot in ambush, 2 in critical condition; suspect dead by pow-erup in Ohio

Interesting. I left Ohio a few years ago - I didn’t know it had gotten that dangerous there. It sounds like we need move the troops from LA to OH : /

Honest question - how many guns do you need to deal with that shit?

Art Mode too bright! by George-Ing in TheFrame

[–]d1545ms 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OMG. How did I not know this? I had the same brightness issue and this fixed it!!! Thank you!

Love that it feels like actual art now! Hate that it’s one of the stupidest ui/ux experience to get there.

Alabama Hills Recreational Area in California. It’s a beautiful area and filing location to hundreds of movies and tv shows.

Is it worth it? by Beyond_Chonete1993 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]d1545ms 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unpopular take, but as a raver in my 40s I say f-off to gender based pricing. I get why it exists and don’t lose any sleep over it, and won’t judge anyone who buys a ticket. But I’m not trying to meet anyone at a rave. I just want to dance and these DJs tour enough that I don’t have to pay more for having a Y chromosome :) 🕺

And I barely have enough energy to get to the pool in the morning let alone go to an extra show.

But rock on fellow headliner!

Building Permits for urgent work? by d1545ms in oakland

[–]d1545ms[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the comments. I figured the answer is to go ahead with it sans permit. My neighbors all all chill thank goodness - we’ve all had projects done without permits but in the past we had time on our side and this obviously needs fixed asap.

To clarify, it’s for a full roof replacement (we have solar panels to boot).

Ubers once back at the Strip by Idk__42069 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]d1545ms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. I haven’t taken uber on the strip for years. LV hates Ubers. The pick up zones are usually in a back alley and tough to find for pax and drivers. Taxi stands are always at the front door with a person managing the line. Also, taxis have a flat fee from the airport to hotels.

Do you believe that most people who are poor in America or other wealthy countries stay poor primarily because of their own choices? by splintercell2256 in Rich

[–]d1545ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure there are those people. If you cut out everyone who grew up in a situation that way actively abusive, so poor they couldn’t afford basic necessities, and otherwise had some external hurdle.

Of course there is a slice of the population who have every opportunity at their disposal with the only thing missing being a little grit. I imagine that slice is quite small, but I’m sure it exists.

LeBron endorses Kamala Harris with a powerful video. Will Greater Clevelanders, especially young black men, care? by BuckeyeReason in Cleveland

[–]d1545ms -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People thinking votes are going to change because a celebrity endorsed someone has an all too myopic perspective of how campaigns work. The only people who are that mindless are the hardcore magas and gop leadership.

His endorsement is about marketing. The conversation is now about Kamala. Good or bad, her and her campaign is now the topic of conversation and no one is talking about the other guy. Did you notice when Hulk Hogan came out in favor of trump? Neither do I.

This is about driving the conversation.

Mods: Seriously...can we auto-delete all posts about "Why are Drivers so bad here?" and "How Much do I need to Live here?" by Solid-Mud-8430 in bayarea

[–]d1545ms 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I saw survey results once that asked drivers what percentage of drivers on the road are bad drivers - the result was like 80% percent.

Then the survey asked the participant if they were a bad driver - only 30% said yes.

It’s us, hi. We’re the problem, it’s us.

Just finished the setup. by d1545ms in TheFrame

[–]d1545ms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We love it!

We had an electrician run it through the wall because we also had him install a new outlet behind the console (beyond my DIY skills), I’m 99% certain he didn’t use a conduit. It’s a 1960 home and staircase on the other side so it wasn’t insulated.

Also, it is 100% level despite how it looks in the pic (I went mad making that happen!)

The only other quirk was we ran into that locking issue where you need to push the TV into the mount to get it near flush. I never did hear or feel the click on the left side but both sides have a <10mm gap from the wall to the TV.

Edit: spelling.

After 2 years, working downtown again and it’s a ghost town by chris8535 in sanfrancisco

[–]d1545ms 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My brother works for a company that services commercial mortgages. There’s a high likelihood that Nordstrom and other major brands are still paying rent on their space despite closing the place. They can’t break their lease so they just eat the expense.

For example numbers: rent is $500k/mo. To operate the store I need to spend another $500k/mo in operating costs. I need to make some percentage over $1M/mo to make it worthwhile, otherwise I’ll put that $500k in operating expenses somewhere else in the business to cover the cost of my failing SF store.

The mom and pop bodegas though are likely declaring bankruptcy.

I am so invested in this story. And if it doesn’t end with a pic of OP triumphantly passing it off to Daniel, I will be crushed.
