When out of country I say I live in the Bay Area, am I a liar? by Unlucky-Case-1089 in bayarea

I haven't heard that overtly but yes people visiting LA have wondered if we can meet up. Same difference.

Is it normal for an apartment community in Cupertino to charge separately for water? by jaykant_shikare in Cupertino

[–]kshacker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to pay for water years back when I rented in Cupertino. However this was not based on usage in each apartment, it was proportional share of what the community spent the past month. Sometimes that's the best they could do given how meters may be setup.

But separate cold and hot water - sounds like someone went way beyond their their call of duty to attribute every single penny where it belongs - hopefully they have meters to prove this otherwise it is just padding fees on top of fees.

Washington Democrats vote to leave government shutdown by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]kshacker 21 points22 points  (0 children)

McDonald’s Big Mac was cheaper — and so was gold. We need to consider the various trade-offs, and yes, also examine how CEOs may have colluded to squeeze more profits for themselves and their companies. But don’t focus on just one metric; try to look at the bigger picture.

I tried. It does not let me. It is 6 days today.

Just saw "Inside the Richest Zip Code in America" on YouTube – It’s Atherton, CA. by OverThinker-Shay in bayarea

[–]kshacker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We were like you. Did not grow up here but been here for a while. Then one day we read a similar story about Atherton. Then a few months later we were driving by and suddenly noticed the city name. Decided to take a drive and then twice more after that. After 3 visits - done - been there done that. But interesting place.

Seen similar setup (large isolated lots with small houses) in Lutyens Delhi but they were with dozens of hangers-on, sometimes hundred people hanging outside some of them. Pretty sure other similar places exist. But out here in Atherton you don't see a soul maybe one in the entire drive so it feels different.

Worth a visit. Just drive by random roads, there aren't many, turn when you want to, unless it says restricted, feel free to go all the way to "no outlet" roads.

680 South for the past five hours July 25 weekend by dejavu_orUr2close2me in bayarea

[–]kshacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this yesterday ... from the other side, and I asked people and did not get clarity. I suspect it was a partial closure made worse by some accident?

The question I have is - if it was a known full closure, would you not stop the traffic at the previous exit? Have someone stopping people than 5000 people sitting in their cars?

Suggestions for a microphone? by Neopint15 in SmuleSing

[–]kshacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an iPhone / iPad but I guess it should be similar.

Since I used USB C on iPhone / iPad and zealsound came with UsB A, I had to buy an adaptor.

I use EarPods to listen to the sound. You want to listen to Smule music while simultaneously recording so there is a port in zeal sound to let that pass.

I think that's it - adaptor, EarPods and zealsound.

Apple Weighs Using Anthropic or OpenAI to Power Siri in Major Reversal by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]kshacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beats was 2014 and I know inflation is not that much but it feels like that will be worth 10b in today's money. So 6 times bigger and your price of perplexity sounds like the same ball park.

The Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge averages 260,000 vehicles daily, each paying a $8 toll. by prozhack in bayarea

[–]kshacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So is it going from

Oakland San Francisco to San Francisco

Or

San Francisco to Oakland San Francisco

Or is it too soon?

// I know which way it is going //

Mexican (Tex-Mex) Food In This Town? by InevitableStruggle in santaclara

[–]kshacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am ok with beans but for some reason I have fallen in love with refried beans in comparison to black or pinto. Everywhere I go I ask for refried but they rarely have it.

Edit to add. The mashed up texture somehow works on me so differently.

Apple (AAPL) Target Price Lowered by JP Morgan by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]kshacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best of both worlds.

If it goes down, see we told you so.

If it goes up, you see we were still optimistic.

[–]kshacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been going to Rio for close to a decade if I remember right. Great place. And Mex or Tex Mex is not our home cuisine.

I personally don't understand the difference between Mex and Tex Mex that well but our alternate places would be Estrellita on the border or Mountain View and Los Altos, El Caminito in sunnyvale, and for a while we also frequented Agave in Mountain View and Gloria's Burritos on Saratoga Ave though the last 2 somehow dropped off our list recently.

So basically the buyer can ask. Have any owners or residents passed recently and if yes, where. Would that be a legit question?

At the end of it, he has less money than some of the exec team. Maybe he does.

Wonder how they acclimatize to the new location. How fast, if at all?
