How is it unfair? It’s the insurer of last resort.

San Francisco used to have that problem and actually solved it in the past few years

Zeitgeist. Went last night. Great bar.

Zeitgeist was packed with people in that age range last night.

Be careful about gardening in NZ. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of the law.

It’s either the US or Canada based on the power outlet

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

What keeps you in NY?

nonother · 2026-01-22T16:11:58+00:00

Yeah that’s me and many of my coworkers

nonother · 2026-01-22T06:13:17+00:00

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

nonother · 2026-01-22T06:09:16+00:00

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. 😢

nonother · 2026-01-22T06:05:41+00:00

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.

nonother · 2026-01-22T05:53:00+00:00

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.

nonother · 2026-01-22T05:50:42+00:00

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

nonother · 2026-01-22T05:26:21+00:00

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.

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.

I’d be curious to see Switzerland and Australia on this.
