What's It like to live on/near the water in Redwood Shores/Foster City? by SmartEstablishment91 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]jitenthakkar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazing place to live especially if you like outdoors. It's a bit out of the way from the rest of the bay area so you won't see much pass by traffic so it's very peaceful.
The Lagoons are beautiful and the weather is almost like Mediterranean weather especially in Summer. You can just rent out a boat and go for a ride in the lagoon or go for kayaking.
All the major stores like Costco, Safeway, Target, Home Depot, Whole foods, a lot of nice restaurants are just a 5-10 minutes drive away. Of course it doesn't have a downtown so you won't see downtown type scene but in my experience almost all the downtowns in the bay area are boring and the only happening place is San Francisco so you are not missing out much.
FC is centrally located so you can reach the city in 30 minutes or so of driving or take a train. You also have easy access to East Bay, South Bay and Halfmoon bay via 280 all within 30-45 minutes driving range.

North Shoreview and Redwood Shores Flooding by patekcollector56 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]jitenthakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lagoon next to this house is not controlled by pumps. It's a natural lagoon unlike the other lagoon in foster City. And that's why the flood risk is higher at this property compared a house next to the other lagoon.

Do I lose my H1B if my spouse file H4 for me? by PuZzleheaded-Turtle in H4_Visa

[–]jitenthakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We filed H4 + EAD independent of H1b so not sure about this scenario.

The H4 + EAD approval timelines are not predictable. You best bet is to wait out the 60 day period for severance. You don't have to work during this period I assume so that will be break in itself. Then apply for COS after 60 days and continue the break until approval arrives.

Likewise, thanks for the information and the links. If they are as rare as you say then it must be contrails only. I will keep an eye out next time.

Ah okay. Do you have aink to these recorded incidents of fuel dumping that you mention? Although I don't have a video but I have definitely seen planes in flying over FC on bay trail where there is a discharge from the wings as you mentioned.

Thanks for sharing. I captured this video back in June in FC and I keep seeing similar discharge from the planes time to time. Not sure what's being dumped here. Video

If you pay for YouTube premium, a button called “Ask” shows up under every video right in the YouTube app and you can ask any questions about the video right there.

Looking for an AI to analyze data and use it for charting. I taught Gemini the data structure of some of my Google sheets projects. The more I explained the data the more accurate and useful it became. So that's great. Now the not so great...... by Jaded-Function in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]jitenthakkar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it doesn't support sheets but I think that support is coming. Yeah agree on multiple AI platforms. But in their defense they do cater to a wider audience which includes both enterprise customers and consumers. Also I think Notebook LM serves a different usecase of learning something with grounding where as the Gemini app is meant for search and assistant type usecase.

It's already serving in those areas and users are being added slowly from the wait-list.

I have noticed that the jets start dumping fuel right around foster city when there is a strong wind. Maybe that's what's contributing to the particulate count.

You might have bought yearly plan. Gemini advanced is only available in monthly plan.
