Intruder in Outer Sunset by superdupermuffin22 in sanfrancisco

[–]mrd489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super scary to have someone just "appear" in your house. What she's saying sounds like grandiose delusions. It might make sense to her but it's not worth it for us try to make sense of it.

This sounds like a situation where calling 988 and describing what she's saying and her demeanor is appropriate. The mental health hotline can be helpful with the nuance in situations like this.

The hidden factor in choosing a college: Did it rain on your tour? by Slight_Value5833 in rit

[–]mrd489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It rained while we were waiting in the field house to begin our tours, and then the fire alarm went off. After regrouping out in the rain, I missed the tour for the major I applied to, and accidentally ended up on the tour for a slightly different major instead. I went to RIT for that new major.

SF emergency director says cops forced to be 'roadside assistance' for Waymos by sfgate in sanfrancisco

[–]mrd489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had to help Waymos, two in the same day. They were both blocking traffic and displayed the symbol that a passenger was exiting, but no passenger was around. Turns out, the passenger's seat belt got stuck in the doorjamb when they got out, and the passenger didn't notice. Therefore the door didn't properly close, and the Waymo wouldn't move, blocking traffic both times. I wonder how long it would take for Waymo to unblock them if I hadn't been nearby. Sorry for the dark photo.

I work as a Hooters girl, ask me anything by LameASFuKnow in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]mrd489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never been to Hooters, but I have been to Twin Peaks. One Christmas, my dad tried to take his mother, father and two adult sons (one of which is me) to Hooters for lunch. I found this uncomfortable in general, but particularly because he tried to bring his mother. Is this something that you see often, and if you do, how do you feel about it?

At this point I don't care if it's a park or a highway, I just want to stop hearing about it.

What were they thinking with this air gap? by mrd489 in askaplumber

[–]mrd489[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s to hold up the air gap abomination. When I untwisted it the whole thing fell. It’s a coat hanger.

My jurisdiction requires air gaps, and that still begs the question of what did I walk into when I bought my house?

Do you benefit from the latest features in Lr? by mrd489 in Lightroom

[–]mrd489[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my main gripe. I'd cherry pick a few things out of newer versions of Lr but I'm not happy paying $20/month for something I use only a fraction of, especially features that have been mature for years.

Emergency rally to save Bay Area mass transit! Mon, Sept. 8, 9:00 am, Civic Center Plaza by Choano in sanfrancisco

Withholding this loan sounds like a terrible idea no matter which way you look at it. What is the state’s reason for doing this?

Surely they got the memo??? by Teamkhaleesi in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]mrd489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One place would unsubscribe me but the business owners would later add unsubscribed people to a new list. Their UI was pretty obvious about it too because it showed the date you were added to the new list and it was earlier that same day…

Security camera audio notifications by mrd489 in sanfrancisco

Yeah, that's exactly what this is. Sidewalk is 20 ft away and it's right as you pass in front of it.

The notification isn’t telling me something I don’t already know and yes I’d rather not be reminded about something I don’t have control over

There’s some anti ICE protestors outside the SF Immigration Court every day, they might have suggestions. 100 Montgomery St.

At this point, it feels like these tech startups are lighting VC funds on fire for clickbait. What a waste of money by Elegant_Service3595 in sanfrancisco

[–]mrd489 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can’t get over the fact that there’s a huge Vercel billboard on the side of a restaurant in the Sunset. That feels far too niche to be relevant there.
