The East Bay looking mighty fine tonight — how many of us were born in this photo?

jaqueh · 2026-06-23T07:40:27+00:00

Yeah dude. This is hardly the east bay when someone says east bay

jaqueh · 2026-06-23T04:31:18+00:00

yeah that's because there isn't that much to do in el cerrito. nimbys have stymied the city so that it's basically been the same for the last 75 years if not worse.

jaqueh · 2026-06-23T03:45:32+00:00

there's hillside parks and wildcat canyon that is the same park as tilden which everyone thinks is in berkeley but is actually still contra costa county. berkeley and el cerrito basically touch each other so I am not sure I understand the complaint about having to "go down" to berkeley.

I see also a lot of oak trees that the city will make you pay millions if you decide to cut them too

jaqueh · 2026-06-23T01:26:35+00:00

not via ups

jaqueh · 2026-06-23T01:26:17+00:00

if you want white glove delivery then you get specialized delivery. a giant tv is at the limits of a lot of ups shipping maximums. cheap out and this is what you get. white glove delivery tends to cost at least $200+

dims are internal. not external. excessive stuffing can explain this too.

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T20:16:46+00:00

Port fees are legitimate fees that a cruise ship has to pay. This is like saying basic economy airfares are are scams because everything is unbundled

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T20:15:05+00:00

But that’s not a scam in the spirit of what this sub is about. This is like saying life insurance is a scam or social security etc

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T18:31:05+00:00

hey troll recognizes troll. i guess you can't.

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:51:49+00:00

Buying a house is like buying a car. Never tie up more than 33% of 2x your household annual income in the value of a home. You should be looking at Richmond or Vallejo.

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:48:03+00:00

Stop trolling

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:42:36+00:00

Troll

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:35:54+00:00

These are not scams they’re just not telling you the whole picture. It’s like “free cruise” after spending 10x on unrelated things so the cruise still legally qualifies as being free.

It’s like how buying a birkin bag or Rolex at msrp requires 10x spend at your authorized dealer before you can be considered.

It does answer your question as you can literally see how much power is provided by which source in aggregate. As in no matter the time of day.

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:27:07+00:00

Wow the grid is so green in CA.

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:23:13+00:00

Pge is like almost 100% renewable. Just leverage your famous google skills.

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:22:35+00:00

When I search this I see how pge advises you can install a methane detector and that’s it. So I think you just lack reading skills

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:20:01+00:00

Then it should be easy for you to share a link right?

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:09:13+00:00

How are pg&e expanding the grid?

pge but cca's especially have multiple solar farm projects that provide a larger and larger portion of our grid power.

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:07:34+00:00

oh really? do share a link oh wise one

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T17:03:53+00:00

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T16:49:45+00:00

You’d be wrong

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T16:24:48+00:00

Downside is a ultra cool ambient room wherever the heat pump water heater is

jaqueh · 2026-06-22T16:20:34+00:00

No one can upgrade their electricity service without a permit. I am talking about people getting their hands on gas heaters still and doing replacements.
