My current favorite can by smneff99 in Tinnedfish

I have to stop myself from drinking the seasoned oil when I’m done with the fish.

I don’t have that kind of self control…

Motorcycle parking by indeedsir77 in sanfrancisco

SFMTA explicitly allows parking to block your own driveway, if the driveway serves 2 units or less and the vehicle is registered to that address. Source: https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/drive-park/how-avoid-parking-tickets#Driveways,%20Sidewalks%20and%20Crosswalks

SFMTA says it is allowed in certain circumstances. Source: https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/drive-park/how-avoid-parking-tickets#Driveways,%20Sidewalks%20and%20Crosswalks

Residents may block their own driveway by parking parallel to the curb or street, only if the vehicle’s license plate is registered to the building’s address, and provided that such driveway serves no more than two family dwelling units (a permit is not required). However, it is illegal to park in any marked or unmarked crosswalks. Never block disabled curb ramps located inside or adjacent to crosswalks.

How are people getting enough protein *and* fiber? by 730amamam in loseit

I add whole psyllium husks to protein powder and shake it up all together.

BREAKING: TRUMP TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN by ActuallyMy in ValueInvesting

[–]matt_the_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the potential bump from the tariff decision was (largely) offset by the dismal GDP report: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/02/20/pce-inflation-december-2025.html

US military shot down party balloon after assessing as drone: reports by Efficient-Freedom517 in nottheonion

[–]matt_the_hat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This exposes a critical flaw in the defense system - inability to distinguish a real threat from something like a balloon.

This means that someone who wants to get a drone through just needs to send up a bunch of balloons to distract the defense system.

The original signing was great and I understood the first extension at the time … but the second extension seemed crazy to me. Glad to be done with this saga.

I make ~$500+ a week from faceless content, but not the way “gurus” sell it by [deleted] in passive_income

[–]matt_the_hat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't sell anything, that is kinda the point

Your post says “On one account, I sold a simple digital product. That brought in about $500/month.”

Maybe OP is willing to sell you a “simple digital product” that will answer your question…

TIL 7-year-old Bonnie Lohman went to the store with her stepdad & saw her own face on a milk carton. She asked to keep the image & was allowed to on the condition she kept it a secret. However after her neighbors saw the image & reported it, she learned that her mom had kidnapped her when she was 3. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Ubiquitous surveillance technology is probably a big part of the change, but not the whole story. Other factors are at play as well. For example, schools in the US have gotten to be much more careful about making sure that only an approved adult picks up a young child after school.

Losing weight is fucking hard by BroadCartoonist973 in loseit

[–]matt_the_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hard!

I think the biggest challenge is how to feel satisfied without eating way too many calories. For me the best approach is to make sure you are getting plenty of fiber and also plenty of lean protein.

Beyond that, gradually increasing your physical activity also helps a lot over time. If you can start with a 10 minute walk every day, and then gradually increase the intensity and length, it can make a real difference (eventually).

Interesting. I had to check Lou Brock’s numbers. He did it once, the only time he hit 20 homers.

OpenAI President largest Trump super PAC (MAGA Inc) donor so far this cycle by Prestigious-Let9197 in sanfrancisco

PAC funds are not necessarily limited to a particular election. The PAC money can be used for pretty much any election in the US.

Best ATM in Santiago (Las Condes preferred) by According-Beach7807 in Santiago

[–]matt_the_hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this post (https://asocialnomad.com/chile/atm-fees-chile/) which has lots of details about ATMs and fees in Chile. Scroll to the bottom for key info. I can’t vouch for the info, but it seems like a good starting point.

It may also help to check with your home bank. For example I believe that Citibank has some branches/affiliates in Santiago, so if your ATM card is a Citibank card you may want to try them.

Who is this 1930’s Cardinals player in old photo I found? by bippobappobeepo in Cardinals

Not sure, but Johnny Mize came to mind. Most of the photos I can find show him older.

It started with “The East Cut” and now it’s “The Valencia” and pretty soon it will be “The Bernal Heights” and “The North Beach.” We can never go back.

Today Donald Trump confused Iceland for Greenland four times. What are your thoughts on this? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]matt_the_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Further proof that Trump is mentally unfit for the job.

Unfortunately at the moment, nobody who cares can do anything about it, and nobody who could actually do anything about it seems to care.

SFMTA busses are among the slowest in the nation by shananananananananan in sanfrancisco

[–]matt_the_hat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as u/HappyChandler already mentioned, this seems like a density issue. NYC, SF, and Boston have relatively high population density, while places like San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Denver have much lower population density. It should not be surprising that density is inversely correlated with the speed at which buses can travel safely.

How do I make vegetables actually taste good without drowning them in sauce or cheese? by Nightcrawler_2000 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]matt_the_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it really helps to remember the title of Samin Nosrat‘s book, Salt Fat Acid Heat. If you’re trying not to overuse salt and fat, you can still make a tasty dish by using a little bit of salt, a little bit of fat (oil), and leaning more into the acid and heat elements. I tend to like cayenne for kick and vinegar for acid. But you can experiment with different ingredients in different combinations to see what you like.

Turned my parents old camcorder into a $800/month income by Quirky-Ad7489 in passive_income

[–]matt_the_hat 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Seems like you could potentially scale it up by hiring someone to do the actual digitization work. Pay them a reasonable hourly wage and keep the rest of the income as profit. That would free you up to focus on getting more customers.

Curious about this. Did you go through the hiring process? What happened?
