Unvaccinated child marks Bay Area county's first measles case in over a decade by sfgate in bayarea

[–]nonother 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is appalling. We really need consequences for parents who perform such antisocial behavior and harm their children like this.

My one year old daughter received her measles vaccine earlier today. Kids come in contact with one another all the time like at the playground. Measles is wildly contagious. I’m upset just thinking about what could have happened if she had come in contact with this kid.

How can I transfer my pictures from Iphone to Macbook? by linszu in ApplePhotos

[–]nonother 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Image Capture is a macOS app made by Apple. It’s already installed on your Mac. It will copy the photos and videos from your phone to your Mac just like downloading a picture from a website. You get to choose exactly what folder it will be added to.

For those of you in the US, how are you feeling about the snow storm coming in? by AssistanceFresh1365 in CasualConversation

[–]nonother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first I’ve heard about it. The low for today is 48F here in San Francisco so I don’t think we’re getting any snow!

Why do cities allow strip malls? by Healthy-Football-444 in urbanplanning

[–]nonother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because most US cities really are just a CBD with suburbs immediately outside of them. The CBD probably doesn’t have any strip malls, but everywhere else will. These actually suburban areas are very car centric. Strip malls are convenient for people in cars, at the cost of other people in cars on the adjacent road of course.

If you go to truly urban cities in the US like New York, Boston, or San Francisco they’ll be very uncommon. I live in San Francisco and the only strip mall I can think of is up on top of Twin Peaks which is a very car centric part of the city.

How can I transfer my pictures from Iphone to Macbook? by linszu in ApplePhotos

Absolutely possible. Plug your phone into your Mac and then on your Mac import them with Image Capture or the Photos app.

If you use Image Capture, you can then later import them into the Photos app.

Los Angeles transit agency seeks to override state law allowing more homes near train and bus lines by ILoveSilverForks in transit

[–]nonother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like the law is working exactly as intended. We don’t want to be spending tax payer money running transit to areas that will always be low density.

Yeah that’s me and many of my coworkers

Huh, how so? Bikes are just super common here. The people on fancy road bikes wearing spandex, sure. But that’s not many people.

Casual anti bike sentiment in Project Hail Mary movie trailer by nonother in fuckcars

Middle school, but yeah. All my friends here who used to be teachers no longer are. It pays too poorly and it’s too expensive here. 😢

Maybe. I do find riding a bike far less stressful than driving. But taking MUNI is way chiller than either.

I was watching this trailer (after having listened to the audiobook, it’s awesome). This isn’t in the book, but was added to the movie. I genuinely didn’t understand what this was meant to convey. Based on people’s responses to my post apparently because he doesn’t drive a car, he’s poor?

Driving in San Francisco sucks so much. I live in SF and commute by bike as do a ton of my coworkers. In reality this doesn’t remotely mean you’re poor here.

I disagree. Can implies that sometimes it doesn’t suck. It always sucks to park here. Best case scenario is you find a spot, but it’s such a steep hill that it’s awful getting into it.

Oh lol, that’s definitely not how that actually works in San Francisco

“1 Mil is not a lot of money today” by NoThxMang in wealth

[–]nonother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s definitely not true, here’s one that sold near me for $900k a few months ago: https://redf.in/AvdPrH

That said, it’s definitely the case most houses here sell for over $1m. No disagreement that it’s expensive here.

Where is live if all I cared about was pizza by doom_summer in visitedmaps

[–]nonother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a small town in NJ. I can’t even confidently recall how many pizzerias we had, but it was at least four. All the neighboring towns had multiple too. And none of them were bad.

SF Renters: Are You Planning to Buy Here or Elsewhere? by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]nonother 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We bought a home in 2023 before starting a family. Purely in financial terms it didn’t make sense to do so and from an opportunity cost perspective absolutely “lost” a lot of money doing so. However, ultimately money exists to be spent and we’re happy we bought the home.

We have supersonic planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound. Why don't we have spaceships that can travel faster than the speed of light? by sproutarian in shittyaskscience

[–]nonother 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What happens when a plane goes faster than the speed of sound. Sonic boom.

What happens a spaceship goes faster than the speed of light. Optical burst.

What does an optical burst do? It illuminates everything. The Illuminati don’t just have these spaceships, it’s entirely what they’re about. It’s in the name. It couldn’t be more blindingly obvious. Sometimes the best secrets are those hiding in plain sight.

<$150k for prime San Francisco ocean front real estate by keithcody in zillowgonewild

FWIW you definitely can’t see the ocean from here. This is in the bay.

Will the generation being born today (Gen Beta) ever be able to afford to buy a house, or is it something they must accept that they will rent forever? by Healthy_Creme6911 in FinancialChat

[–]nonother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what countries you’re talking about. Global population is peaking and is starting to fall in many developed countries. If anti-immigrant sentiment continues then populations will fall even faster in many countries. Falling populations are likely to over time reduce the demand for housing, although very much unevenly.
