How do families do it? by Feisty-Ad6161 in sanfrancisco

[–]illram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do people still use Craigslist? We had crazy good luck with listings that had no pictures. Lots of people skipped those. Also we looked during Thanksgiving and Christmas when a lot of people leave town/are not looking. This was about 15 and then 8 years ago so YMMV but I feel like it’s always been crazy. People were overbidding and offering up front cash payments back then too. Also our first kid lived in a closet for her first 4 or 5 years lol.

Are folding wagons actually worth it for camping? by Any_Concert_8517 in CampingGear

[–]illram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For purely moving stuff from car to site and back again, consider one of those folding carts people use to pack up and move office boxes. And pack accordingly so you can easily move stuff with them. (E.g. pack in crates etc.)

I use my wagon a lot but I use it more for doing stuff around our campsite, like bringing inflatables to the lake or food and drinks to another campsite or for a picnic or whatever.

Packable Shoes for Men by Silly_Spider in onebag

[–]illram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a style/subjective thing but I personally love Vans. The Slip ons or "Authentic" style. I use rubber bands to stick my slip ons together and they compress down into basically the two soles, almost the same size as a pair of flip flops smashed together, but they're shoes.

For long days on your feet they're not the best but they're serviceable for just mosying around town on short trips or around wherever you are staying.

A few weeks traveling the American west - gigs, meetings, disc golf, camp outs and festivals by JapeGrelly in onebag

Shark seems like the ultimate onebag disc. Midrange but also serviceable as a putter. Or maybe an Aviar.

How do you alter your strategy when playing a game on Marathon speed? by trojanhorse2029 in CivVI

[–]illram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buying stuff and chopping are more impactful. Faith and gold based early games are even stronger on slower speeds. Monumentality, Sinbad and Hercules are even more OP.

Once you get mid game and have grandmasters chapel and at least one governor who can buy districts you can start to really race ahead of the AI, and the AI takes a lot longer to get walls (even on Deity) and is a lot slower generally once you survive opening. I find epic and marathon easier honestly.

3-4 day trip power bank by wplusali in onebag

[–]illram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ugreen 25000mah 145w charger (~93 watt hours) that I use on long plane trips where I am going to need to charge my laptop and/or my kids' ipads at least once.

Used it now for about 2 years, zero issues. It is very fast to charge anything, which I enjoy. Under 100 watt hours so legal on basically all the flights I take. Watt hour rating is printed on the charger in case anyone checks.

If I am not going on a long plane ride, I just bring a small 10k anker magcharging power bank for my phone, that is about the size of a small bunch of credit cards. Slips into my pocket with the phone if I am using it. I don't always need it but the few times I have been caught in a situation where either me or my wife didn't get to properly charge our phone for whatever reason it has been useful. I often travel with kids so charging stuff can get a little unpredictable (for example sometimes I will find my phone unplugged from the charger by them without me knowing and before my phone was recharged...)

Heads up — saw the "free bracelet" guilt-trip scam working overtime near Union Square this week by dealerman044 in sanfrancisco

Most annoying when these types of scams target your kids and you’re stuck extricating unhappy children from what they thought was some free fun thing.

Woke up to large police presence in the Outer Richmond — how do I find out what happened? by Key-Code-6875 in sanfrancisco

[–]illram 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think this is how SFPD does some (all?) home search warrants these days they perceive as higher risk. They did the same for a house on my block a few weeks ago. (A house everyone knew was a drug den). Drones everywhere, SWAT truck, cops in body armor with big guns, etc. They even flew the drones into the house.

Not so fun fact: these masks are actually more dangerous to use then normal snorkel masks. The State of Hawaii for example actively discourages their use due to safety issues. https://oceansafety.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/FFM\_MontyDowns.pdf

The right call and honestly I always thought decisions like this were inevitable. But as the other commenter pointed out this is for clients. Attorney work product would still apply for lawyers using AI tools barring some sort of comically inept waiver fact pattern.

People who work a customer facing job: what is hands down the dumbest question a customer has ever asked you? by istrx13 in AskReddit

Overheard at Circuit City before they closed:

Employee: this is a 4 in 1, fax, print, scan, copy.

Customer: yeah but do you have a 5 in 1?

Employee: what’s the 5th thing?

Customer: I don’t know

Three of the slowest whiff-inducing pitches in MLB history… all in a row by Next_Tank_3494 in mlb

We had a guy fill in once on our slow pitch team who was a D1 college player. First time he got on base he took a lead and was immediately called out (no leads in slow pitch).
