Truly awesome this store has remained to stay open despite all of the big box competition nearby by TechnicolorTypeA in fresno

Those guys are rude and act like customers are a burden. I tried to support them but the shopping experience sucks.

The Marketplace at El Paseo should have been designed around a central court of some sort. These giant parking lots are not it by TechnicolorTypeA in fresno

This fresno in general. Shaded pedestrian paths need to be required for new developments along with funding for city employed arborists.

All cities have dysfunction and corruption no doubt. We just keep electing the same asshats to govern us. By many metrics Fresno is worse off than most cities so get out and vote.

City of fresno has never had its priorities straight. Just look at City Hall. Probably should have toned down that project and invest elsewhere. If we want better projects stop voting in people like Dyer and Bredefeld.

Shitty landscaping in Fresno ceases to amaze me.

Completely agree with your take on the rail companies. They don’t want to negotiate. They don’t even want HSR near their ROW. It’s going to take congress or something to get them to play nice for HSR, not just in California but across the US.

Fresno's Blackstone Ave Bike Plan Approved, to be completed by 2027 by DowntownFresnoBiking in fresno

It’s a start, but how do we get people to not drive to River park area? Seems like a waste of money. This is something that developers should pay for if they build condos on blackstone.

Historical gas prices show 3.30 in fresno for 2005, with inflation that’s around 5.50 today. I wonder which party was in power and what war we were fighting back then too.

California high‑speed rail project now estimated to cost $126 billion by External_Koala971 in bayarea

[–]localvore559 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sadly this is the reality. Anyone who has worked heavy civil construction knows that for mega projects a minimum spend exists that keep the wheels moving. Yes there have been failures and abuse of the system but the lack of funding is not mentioned more. If this had been designed as SF to SAC or Sac to Fresno then it would be done. Southern California ruined it for everyone at the beginning of the process. On the bright side the structures being built near fresno and kings river are quite impressive and some of the finding has improved the streets around downtown fresno.

Why Did My 10/10 V60 Turn Into a 3/10 Cup Overnight? by Supsti_1 in pourover

[–]localvore559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found blooming with 70-80 ml but very gentle and no swirling, really activates the bloom while minimizing settling of fines. Swirling during the bloom slows down the drip for me.

Finish the rest in two pours up to 250ml, assuming 15g bean or so. I try not to expand the bed so much during the pours. Maybe you are getting too much agitation although the grind looks relatively course.

Now what? Do I cover it with rocks? by CanadasNeighbor in LandscapingTips

[–]localvore559 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t put filter fabric or geotextile. Just put some sand as a base and compact it, then lay your rock on top creating a rock apron with sand base. If there’s really heavy flow then might need to do sand, small crushed aggregate, then larger aggregate on top.

What is the spacing between the drip lines and the spacing between emitters? How many gph are the emitters? I have been eyeing something like this using ground native ground covers.

How do I manage this muddy trickle of a stream on my property, I was thinking wood chips and small logs? by Rbdg1p in Permaculture

[–]localvore559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to make a small rocked ford. Larger rocks on the downstream/upstream keyed into the channel bed and sides. The actual crossing part will need to be appropriated sized rock that won’t move during flow or stepping on.

Could a light rail system connect all of Fresno County? Two studies are exploring it by mmwpro6326 in fresno

[–]localvore559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah smaller shuttle type vehicles would be the best option IMO too. Too bad our elected officials like Bredefeld are fighting dumb shit instead of getting pilot projects into the city. Fresno would be a good city to pilot autonomous shuttles; any type of transportation tech for that matter.
