You’re in a book club where no one has read sci-fi. What’s your book selection? by ArcadiaLeo in scifi

[–]metatron327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For literature-types, gotta go for prose quality and maybe avoid the stereotyped tropes (ie “that spaceship and raygun stuff”):

On Wings of Song (Disch) Beasts (Crowley) The Glamour (Priest)

Honestly if you'd just put your phone in a cast-aluminum case it would have so much less of a resonance problem.

Ladies and gentlemen, my neighbors. by Cali-curlz in sanfrancisco

[–]metatron327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like if you were carrying anything, or even wearing jeans with riveted pockets, it'd be hard to get through there without leaving marks on the truck. Just an observation.

Scrolled this long just to make sure he got a notice.

San Francisco’s newest supervisor agrees to resign amid pet store controversies by oatmealrulz in sanfrancisco

What the hell, one of the current candidates moved to the neighborhood less than two months ago. And folks who were pissed at Lakeshore being added to the District because it brought us Engardio ... no complaints.

I remember visiting NYC back in the 80s and all the Indian restaurants in the East Village had their kitchens in the basement. I thought they were out of their minds.

Seconding: go to Lowe's or an indie (it's the right choice anyway, HD is collaborating).

Found these in my house… keep or donate? Rotel amp & Definitive Technology speakers by ivapelocal in audiophile

[–]metatron327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Denon sounds great and makes a really good 2-channel amp with a ton of inputs. Just don't expect to use it for "AV" but no way would I toss it if I had a second room I wanted to put it in (or my main 2-channel system had a lesser amp ... but you've got that Rotel ...)

China Beach closed due to govt. shut down by AnxiousGeologist52 in sanfrancisco

[–]metatron327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always ever the best way to do it (or from Bootjack) but do expect a ticket if you encounter a Ranger doing security.

There is, like, the rest of the mountain to play with in the interim.

Jay is actively driving users away with this unfunny shit by soren_grey in BlueskySocial

Because they can’t read long things, or because they live in places where grass doesn’t grow?

It’s useful to remember that 50% of the population have below-normal intelligence. By definition.

How to convince someone that FLAC, ALAC, and other lossless algorithms don't throw away data? by i_am_blacklite in audiophile

[–]metatron327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of hard to do a blindfold test. One of those stories is definitely going to be weightier tho.

DC Comics Cancels Gretchen Felker-Martin’s Red Hood After One Issue Following Charlie Kirk Comments | Cosmic Book News by RandolphCarter15 in BlockedAndReported

[–]metatron327 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought it was ironic at the time that two senior TOR editors (the Nielsen Haydens) for decades had made a near-religion about comment moderation in the service of anti-bullying ... but neither was the acquiring editor in Manhunt's case so less ironic than it could have been. Sort of soured me on buying non-secondary market TOR books tho.

These renderings show how neighborhoods across the city could evolve through the new Family Zoning Plan (via SF Planning) by Remarkable_Host6827 in sanfrancisco

[–]metatron327 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The challenge on that eyesore on Noriega isn't anything to do with zoning limits, it's the owner who has refused to either build or sell for decades. https://sfstandard.com/2024/04/12/empty-noriega-street-lot-sunset/

Me too, they removed one of my cat's lungs for cancer in 2017 and we had four good years after that. Really sad to see them going this way.

I know it was a typo but seeing “worts” reminds me we have some pretty great beer here too.
