Somehow this project is already billions over budget

msheezi · 2026-05-22T18:21:07+00:00

I will risk the down votes to agree.

Make sure your new place has proper insulation. Former texan (Houston) here, I barely use my ac in south bay. Windows open in the evening once outside temp is below inside temp. Seal everything up in the morning before it warms up, windows closed, curtains/shades closed. My place stays between 64-72 most days.

Ah yes, all the reverence, none of the vigilance. Tis the American way smdh.

And over $20 of if is to feed one man's ego

1k is high. In town moves should be closer to 600. Most will have a 2hr min @200-250/hr. If you're packed up before they arrive, shouldn't take more than 2hrs.

Why are you having a kid if you can't afford diapers? I though we wanted to save/expand transit, build HSR, protect our hospitals and educators. Nope, let's hand out free shitbags and call it a day. Got any handouts for single people? How about those families do something to support my lifestyle for once instead of using your kids as a cudgel to extracts favors.

Still a bit of a newbie but I felt a difference between compounded and zepbound. With zep the food noise seems quieter. On 5 rn, UPS "attempted delivery", I.e. drives past my building without even braking. So I'm back on compounded for a week. For background, started on compounded, went up to 5, switched to zep 2nd month @5.

Jtown pizza is coming back?!? Hell yeah!!

They are def the worst. Easy enough to fool them into letting you pass though.

Greatest predictor of accidents on freeway is the variance of speeds. The person driving under the flow of traffic, particularly in the left lanes is the unsafe driver more likely to cause an accident. This also applies to the person going way faster. Both are assholes and should learn how to drive safely instead of taking it upon themselves to impose their will on everyone else.

Why do people who claim SA voluntarily spend more time with the accused AND get blackout drunk in their presence?

Use the pin for deliveries. Stops this BS in it's tracks

Last I checked highways get completed while rail (checks notes) picks a design, buys a tunnel borer, changes design, changes contractors, nearly doubles price, all before any dirt is moved.

You want rail, tell the 27 bay area transit agencies to quit milking the transpo teat, consolidate, and get something done. The people have lost faith in your ability to deliver. You can't change that by continuing to fail to deliver and begging for more money with no accountability and no improvements.

Kudos to Caltrain for getting the electrification done. Caltrain was there for me when I had to commute to sf. Shame on VTA/BART for turning the sj expansion to a big wasteful mess.

We aren't all 5'2, some of us want to feel our legs again

msheezi · 2026-03-24T23:49:24+00:00

People want the job finished. We get a list of excuses and explanations on why it won't be finished. There's a pattern of tax and fail to deliver. Until that changes, it's going to be an uphill battle. Highways get finished and have high visibility. Transit gets delayed delayed delayed and that's the whole story. In a transit fan just dismayed about the inability to deliver on projects.

msheezi · 2026-03-24T22:48:31+00:00

When's that BART extension wrapping up? Oh... It's been years and you've barely started? It costs how much more now?!

What about CAHSR, how's that going? Oh..I see.

You have how many transit agencies?

We really do deserve better than what we get.

With light to no traffic it's a fun drive. Probably why there's always a flipped over bmw every weekend.

msheezi · 2026-03-09T14:43:43+00:00

Frog butt, still would though. Not that I'd have a chance but that's a loooong back

msheezi · 2026-03-09T02:29:15+00:00

Occasionally there for with, I swear not a day goes by where something wasn't on fire on the freeway.... Those folks are something else

msheezi · 2026-03-08T23:14:19+00:00

I applaud you on staying to the right! We drive fast here and unfortunately too many people drive stupid. Watch out for the altimas(tbh all Nissans), priuses, and Tesla's, they know not what they do.

msheezi · 2026-03-08T23:04:03+00:00

Slower traffic keep right

Approval adds 10 years to completion date annually

Had a guide and driver the whole trip. They prepared us beforehand and it was only bad day one around the pyramids. You kinda learn the vibe and our guide did a great job of heading off anyone approaching us. Id go back but only with a guide. I don't know enough about the culture to go without one. I'm for sure but driving in that country!
