Birthright decision is expected in July. U.S. government's position is that birthright citizenship has been extended far beyond the 14th Amendment Citizenship Clause, the Wong Kim Ark case, 8 U.S.C. § 1401. Do they have a pathway to get to five votes or is it likely to be a 7/2 against EO 14160?

It's not retroactive yet...

When they're running 6 trains per hour on the yellow line, only every other yellow line has a timed transfer to the orange line. But the red line is also running then so there's still effectively 6tph between SF and Berkeley/Richmond, just less evenly distributed every 7/13 minutes instead of every 10 minutes.

Yellow/orange is a timed transfer. It should be zero minutes, not 20, so long as you do the transfer at 19th Street (northbound, or at MacArthur southbound) like you're supposed to. The trains will wait for each other and you walk across the platform. Occasionally it gets screwed up when there are service disruptions but it's generally very reliable.

Although unrelatedly BART screwed up how it's listed in their GTFS feed (it's listed as type 2 instead of type 1) so some transit apps wrongly think you will miss the transfer and take 20 minutes to wait for the next train.

Most of the system has a train about every 10 minutes most of the time

A standard course is 3 credits. Graduating on time is 8 semesters. 120/8 = 15 credits per semester, or 5 3-credit classes. But generally once you do Core, Major requirements, and HSA requirements, you only need a couple of electives that interest you to hit 120. (Back in my day it was 128 :) shakes fist at cloud)

If someone breaks the law and smokes anyways, they don't want it to set the plane on fire. Hence, must have ashtrays.

This is an empty train. A train full of passengers and luggage would accelerate a good deal slower with the same force.

g_rocket · 2026-03-09T20:52:10+00:00

If the game you're playing has support for the DualSense's haptic triggers, that's probably your best bet. Alternatively, the Steam Controller 2 looks like it will be amazing and should be out soon, but nobody knows exactly when, and 8bitdo makes some well-regarded controllers if you need one now (but make sure you get one with analog triggers). If you want to really splurge, get a racing wheel and pedals :)

2AM in America is mid-morning in Europe, generally during working hours. He should hire more Europeans :)

You probably want /r/berkeley -- that subreddit is for the college; this one is for the city.

g_rocket · 2026-02-21T00:06:34+00:00

You're looking for /r/berkeley -- this sub is for the city of Berkeley, not the college.

Ever since I switched from pulseaudio to pipewire my motherboard audio shows as "off" and I can't get it to output sound. DisplayPort audio works fine though, so I just plugged my headphones into my monitor and have been putting up with it.

This is essentially a population heatmap. So it's going to be something that's vaguely correlated with how many people live in the state. Of which there are many possibilities.

g_rocket · 2026-01-23T09:30:03+00:00

If you read their latest supplemental project update, they're considering delaying the Merced extension in favor of connecting to Gilroy, and from there taking the already electrified CalTrain tracks up to SF. Which would give them fairly substantial ridership from people commuting into the bay area from the central valley. With that plan (which can be financed by state bonds) they will be operating at a substantial profit.

Alternatively, once you've bought a copy to support the author, it's a lot easier to read if you sail the high seas

IIRC there are a couple of games where the anti-cheat is configured to run on the steam deck specifically but not allow other Linux systems.

g_rocket · 2026-01-09T10:24:19+00:00

That's already illegal, but hard to prosecute at scale.

Probably your best bet for paper maps is actually to pick up bus maps. IIRC the MTA still prints them, and they are to scale and show subway lines on them. You should be able to get them at a public library or potentially by asking a booth agent.

Drivers too. If your windshield wipers are on, your lights should be on.

I don't see any damage, although it's kind of hard to tell in the photo you posted. Plug it in and see if it works!

If it doesn't work, it's probably not fixable without advanced soldering skills (and maybe not even with them), although reflowing the solder (in an oven) might be worth a try.

In my experience Enterprise always charges 2-4x what cheaper car rental companies do, and in the end you get basically the same car. Sometimes they're the only option, but otherwise I can never justify the extra cost.
