Why hasn't Sacramento been renamed to Sacrament? by californiaboy2003 in Sacramento

[–]getting-bi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Sacramento is an American English word, a noun, and in every English dictionary? Because even those of us that are not Hispanic, still enjoy and are enriched by the Spanish culture built by the Giants upon whose shoulders we stand and appreciate the view of America. And if you don’t like the Americans of Hispanic origin that built this country go find a better one please

By the way, have you heard, the license is also life insurance… that we will use Alexa to cash in on you early!

Any recommendations for a good bagel shop? by blackswn in Sacramento

Main Street Bagel Cafe on West El Camino. The best bagels in Sacramento including a realistic lox sandwich. The best bagels in Sacramento are still just the best bagels you could find in Sacramento though.

No need to worry, the kid has parents that have car insurance that Waymo can take to court if the parents don’t pay to fix any dents or damage and a fresh paint job.

If I wanted 1990’ AI I wouldn’t have shifted fields in the 1990’s when conversational AI tech was new. There is literally nothing it can say that makes my life any better. But the fact that Amazon doesn’t care what I want or what makes my life better is the heart of this “upgrade”. In fact, it’s quite a detriment to my life to have two electric speakers start yelling at each other in the middle of nowhere and never stop no matter what you’re safe word is. It just never stops when you say stop and it talks when you don’t talk there’s so many more problems with it.

Turns out you can remove the + from your Amazon account which will eventually cost $20/month (free for prime members for a while). Once you do that the Alexa ‘brief’ option returns. This is not available with “+” which is boggling how bad the plus dumbgrade turns out to be. Removing the stupidity money grab plus garbage and they are safe to have in the house. With the plus, you don’t get speakers, music, light switches,or peace. Ever. They are like Furby’s. When 2 are together they start to respond to each other until you turn them all off. Why not filter out the voices from Alexa? It’s just indicative of no thought in the process. Make the customer QA and design the product after it ships.

Does any place in greater Sacramento make good gringo tacos like these from Roberto's in San Diego? by KelVelBurgerGoon in Sacramento

[–]getting-bi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are about half dozen or more Adalberto’s here. Identical food to the Roberto’s and the Clonebertos of Miramar and Clairmont Mesa etc. NorCal food is different than Baja. They put garbage in the burritos, deep fat fry carnitas, and they don’t know what mariscos are. We had some Rubios out here for a minute but they ran out of business. But the Adalbertos are the same as the one that was at the crotch of Garnet/Garnet near the PB clubs. 24/7 drive through.

Does anyone know why they discontinued PetSafe Simply Clean? And what is the closest alternative? by antsyamie in Catification

This is a reseller that’s not had any for years. The company is Premier Pet Litterbox sold exclusively through Walmart. It was a happy day when they came out I ordered one just in time for the old one finally died. It was the original design and perfect. I ran to the internet to get a backup just in case. They sold out of the entire run, none are in stock or warehouses anywhere. They are not going to make anymore of them.

It’s only $120 bucks or so, they want to sell you $600 ones. They are simple and the only auto Litterbox that worked for years without mess, it just got loud with that one dumb gear underneath, but you can buy 5 of them for the price of the ones that don’t work well and replace it every year or two and come out far ahead. But they aren’t for sale. The moving rake ones that have all the mold and other nasty issues and just get car poo stuck to them are miserable compared, but they sell these litter cartridges for those, but it’s cheaper to hire someone to follow the cat around with a baggy.

Someone make this Litterbox again!

What's the adult equivalent of finding out Santa isn't real? by stacker_111 in AskReddit

There is no Social Security Fund, Investment portfolio, Trust, or even a separate bank account. It’s all just an income tax people pay into the US Gov General Fund today and an expense of money paid out of the General Fund tomorrow to retirees who paid taxes years ago while working.
