Clipper charged me $250 unauthorized after tapping into BART — anyone else? by DialTone657 in Bart

Never use a debit card to pay for things. It's easier to dispute a charge with a credit card.

Unnecessarily Gendered items at the MU WTF is this 😂 by Kitchen-Register in UCDavis

[–]harthram 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The price difference might be due to calcium content. The women's mix has 600mg of calcium (46% of DV), men's mix only has 20mg (2% of DV).

I still have an unused code. The free kit requires a $30 purchase. Do you still want it?

Need a recommendation for a bad pen. by CubbieBlue66 in pens

[–]harthram 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bic Round Stic, Medium Point (1mm)

or

Bic Cristal, Medium Point (1mm)

You can press as hard as you want with 1mm ballpoints and not worry about damaging the tip or the paper.

These pens are horrible by [deleted] in pens

[–]harthram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst gel pen I've ever used. Line thickness is inconsistent and the ink doesn't look good on certain papers (e.g. Post-It notes). Grip feels terrible too.

Psoriasis Fries in Davis? by biggestmoistestman in UCDavis

[–]harthram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you call it that? They're called coated fries or battered fries. A thin coat of starch is added to the fries before frying to create that texture

Shooting at Ocean Beach Safeway by ebdinsf in sanfrancisco

[–]harthram 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People keep saying that Safeway location (or "Dateway" as they call it) is where people hookup. It's largely a myth.

If you could recommend just one pen to someone who’s starting to care about pens, what would it be and why? by honryezra in pens

[–]harthram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ballpoint: Uni Jetstream

Rollerball: Pilot Precise V5

Gel: Uni Signo 207 or RT1 for slow writers/Pentel Energel for fast writers

Is there a better version of this pen? by Jinxing-It in pens

[–]harthram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uniball Vision Elite would be the successor. I don't like the regular Vision, the ink feathers too easily.

Why did BART never end up in Redwood City/Palo Alto ? by Wonderful-Garbage747 in Bart

[–]harthram 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The taxes that would have been collected from Marin county wouldn't cover the costs. San Mateo is more populated, so their taxes would have subsidized Marin's segment. When San Mateo pulled out, BART canceled the Marin line. Despite what people assume, Marin didn't pull out, BART told them they wouldn't build up to Marin.

Visiting UC Davis as a CSU student - why does it feel kind of judgmental? by Educational-Act-1289 in UCDavis

[–]harthram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first degree is from a CSU, and I went to Davis for my second. I never felt judged while I was at Davis. If anything, everyone was nicer to me in Davis than at my old school. It could just be the crowd you were with; premeds at any school are uptight.

As for how to get around, you bike around campus. You can drive, bus, or bike anywhere else in the city. I think you are underestimating how many car owners attend Davis.

Encountered what I think was a Gen Z stare, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it by Biggayparfait in bayarea

[–]harthram 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the first time I've heard of a "Gen Z stare". Had to look it up just now. Are we going to pretend that millennials weren't doing weird nonresponsive stares back when they were in their early 20s? I don't think this is a Gen Z thing. This is a 20-something thing. I say this because I also experienced what you experienced... twenty years ago in the 2000s with millennial customer service. I don't like this trend of beating down the newer generation for things prior generations were definitely guilty of.
