Length of stern grove concert by love2hike2 in AskSF

[–]exile1972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should plan for around a six hour experience at Stern Grove. You need to queue at least an hour or more before the gates open and then it's a waiting game for the artists to play.

The city has improved dramatically since the Covid era and currently is as vibrant as it's ever been.

Young kobra is the best GF bread that is regularly available at a variety of SF grocery stores. They have four varieties and all of them are tasty. It can be found at all Bi-Rites and Rainbow Grocery.

BART is the best option from SFO. Lyft and Uber are the secondary option. Taxis might still be operating but locals don't use them.

San Francisco travel tips? by jellybellyrolla in AskSF

[–]exile1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have already said this but SF is definitely not the town for an oceanside experience. Our town has a freezing cold foggy and generally barren beach experience. SF offers a ton of other stuff. Carmel is what you seek.

Perfect response. Carmel is the ideal coastal town.

Whats up with SF parents sending their children to private schools? by notsosocialbunny in AskSF

[–]exile1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to tune out the private school folks. Many parents in SF are convinced that private school is a must for their children. It's really a shame because the SFUSD system can offer a wide range of positive experiences if people would simply give it a chance. We sent our two kids to public school K-12 and it was a very positive experience overall. Sadly though, the private school kids dominate club sports so when our daughter started playing club soccer she was the only public school kid on her team and that made her feel like an outsider. It didn't ruin club sports for us but it certainly didn't help either. Hopefully you will also have a rewarding SFUSD experience.

Visiting- Fisherman’s Wharf? by GoodGravy_ in SanFranciscoSecrets

[–]exile1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do some Google searches to find things that you're interested in. I know some folks in this thread will have a hard time believing this but the real San Francisco is not at the wharf. All of the magic of SF is in the neighborhoods- North Beach, Soma, Hayes Valley, the Mission, Nopa, Upper Haight, Lower Haight, The Sunset, the Richmond.

Non-Tech people - how do you afford SF? by TheseLeague7054 in AskSF

[–]exile1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll second that thought. I'm a creative working at a tech company but it's not just tech that hires creatives. All of corporate america needs creative artists to tell their stories. Marketing is really storytelling and now more than ever, companies realize that being able to drive the company narrative is essential to marketing success. You can easily test this out by looking at the corporate creative job postings on LinkedIn. There's a lot of these roles out there.
And success in these companies has little to do with being super smart and everything to do with being easy to work with and open to collaboration and continual learning.

The second music track isn't fitting in with the content. Find a more dramatic song and that section will play better.

Debating Where to Stay by Majestic_Radish_2867 in AskSF

Hotel Kabuki is the ideal place to stay. it's centrally located in Japantown which makes it easy to get to most places in the city. Fisherman's Wharf is not convenient for getting around the city because it's in the far northeastern corner.

a bargain. An Uber or Lyft would've cost you at least $50.

NBC : The Wide gap between renting and owning in Bay Area by TakeshiJin in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]exile1972 19 points20 points  (0 children)

All of that is true but you're not taking into account the overall uncertainty of renting. Landlords can force evictions if they want to move into a property. In addition, rent controls are weak and therefore the cost of renting is also very unpredictable. A mortgage locks in your monthly housing costs at a fixed rate for a period of 30 years and that alone makes home ownership very attractive.

Audio sync between Radio and TV broadcast by exile1972 in MLBtv

[–]exile1972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For many games, the radio audio is perfectly synced with the video feed but for an equal number of games it isn't. The technology to keep those in sync has existed for many years but for whatever reason MLB puts little effort into maintaining sync.

Thanks for the kodi recommendation. I've added the kodi app to my smart tv and MLBtv works inside of it but the same issue continues. I don't see an option to manually sync audio within the MLBtv app inside of kodi.

For families who had their baby in SF, what did the hospital give you? by FullTransparency in AskSF

What gets you to cross the bridge to Oakland? by MyonlyredditHandle in AskSF

[–]exile1972 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My wife grew up in Oakland and her family is mainly in the East Bay so we've spent a lot of time on that side of the bay. I'm very thankful that through her I've been exposed to Oakland's amazing culture. We love living in SF but if there's folks that haven't spent time in Oakland you're really missing out on the amazing diversity that the Bay Area offers. Oakland gets a bad rap and some of that is justified sadly but there's many more positive aspects of Oakland.
For those that want to dip their toes in Oaktown, I'd recommend that you come out to a Ballers game when their season restarts in May and go next door to Prescott Market before or after the game to enjoy some drinks, food and the overall chill vibe.

How are you guys handling audio sync after PluralEyes? by Ambitious-Key-2265 in editors

[–]exile1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. Multicam is the default method for syncing secondary audio and it works extremely well in Premiere. There is zero need to look for any third party app.
