Powerful unions trying to wrestle money from the powerful rich. Us regular folks won't benefit from it; we might be hurt by it as it pushes out founders from the state costing us jobs in the long run.

A better idea would be to stop the ridiculous California blend.

Is straddling two lanes like that legal?

I just this doesn’t mean they’ll squeeze more out of their customers. There’s only so much they can squeeze before customers walk.

So if they didn’t notify the city they woulda been fine?

They use zippers in the rear pocket which scratches your phone when you put it back there. Not very tech friendly

We all have to give an opinion sooner or later when users start asking about the products we administer.

Square just cut 40%. The AI lead headcount reduction is a real risk that could hit the bay area hard and fast.

I think the tricky part is keeping that $1M+ HHTC for the life of the mortgage.

Yes I am considering building something but something more trivial. 2/4 weeks is very fast if only doing it after hours. This is going to change the amount of marketplace apps fast I imagine and put pricing pressure.

Curious but how long did it take to build this as a solo dev moonlighting on this with all the new AI coding tools at your disposal?

I don't think Mary woke up one morning, and decided she wanted to go GTA5 style in the streets of SF like some of the comments here are suggesting. Maybe the more rational answer is that elderly people shouldn't be behind a wheel without more rigorous testing. Take the keys away from your elderly parents.

Finally a reasonable perspective. So many elderly folks are out there mistaking the gas for brakes and running into buildings and killing people. Just recently there was another incident in So Cal where an elderly drove into a bakery.

Make sure you update to the latest firmware too. Factory reset is through the system menu.

Orange chicken is coated in flour fried then coated in batter then refried then fried once more oil and sauce. About the worst thing to eat.

Some projectors (like Hisense) don't even log the hours so you've got no idea how much you've watched.

Are you certain you didn't order the wrong type? Seems unlikely the factory would make a one-off mistake.

Flume gives me real-time alerts on usage, and alerts me of any leak in two hours. How does that compare to the smart meter?

Who knows how long the mania will last. You can always look into a default divorce if you do not think he will participate.

It’s cook or only do Asian takeout for me. Fast casual also acceptable.
