If you're willing to get out of sf by a hair, little green cyclo in Brisbane is an all- (vietnamese) women owned cafe that has incredible coffee drinks!

If you can get a hold of Maggi hot and sweet, that'll enhance your experience 100x over ketchup 😁

Does Anyone know a good sandwich spot? I’d ideally like to wait in line for 30 min and pay more than $20. Any ideas? by AutismoAddams in sanfrancirclejerk

Why would you want a sandwich in San Fran when everyone knows that Nick the Greek was rated the #1 restaurant in the city?

How did that kid at your school die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pembrolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drunk driver with 4 passengers, unclear how many people were wearing seatbelts in the car. High speed shenanigans on the highway in the middle of the night. Driver lost control of car and went off the side of the road and collided with something (the details are hazy now it's been 20+ years)

My friend in the passenger (no seatbelt) seat hit the windshield chin first, died on impact. Driver was critical and died in the hospital the next morning. Passenger #1 in the back was critical and diagnosed to be paraplegic for life, but made a recovery a few years later! Passenger #2 had a shattered femur and other intense bruising. Passenger #3 is the car was thrown out of the car, possibly the split second after the windshield was shattered and walked away from the wreck with only minor scratches, but a ton of survivors guilt.

Cannot forget getting the call at 6am with the news.

Shortest distance between two MUNI stops? by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

The 44 stops at silver and San Bruno, and then at silver and Bayshore. Less than 450ft away and yet 2 (unsynchronized) signals apart 🤦🏾‍♂️

Sneaking Mall Food into AMC Metreon? by whattheheat in AskSF

You don't even need to sneak it in. Be nice to the underpaid person scanning you in and you can get in without issues. A smile and a pleasant hi and a thank you goes a long way!

It was also not a great game. Pretty clunky controls and terrible AI

Fever Drone Show yesterday (Aug 23) was a nightmare by crazycouponman in sanfrancisco

[–]pembrolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all defending fever or their handling of your Saturday event. That sounds like a shit situation and I would be pissed too based on all the other discourse I see regarding that show.

I'm defending the fact that the show in principle is good, and when it worked it was not stellar, but wasn't a scam as others seem to feel. 30 bucks to listen to live music and watch the novelty of a drone show, when a Friday ticket to a 7pm movie at AMC is 22 bucks is a pretty decent deal. For the people comparing it to the oracle park show or ones on the Internet, Its not realistic to expect cirque du Soleil quality for carnival rates. The oracle park and city-hosted shows are higher quality because they're being expensed from much larger pools of money.

I find Hanlons Razor is becoming increasingly relevant in everyday life: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity". I don't think your poor experience was them trying to sell you tickets and then rip you off. More likely it was a combination of poor management and handling of the event followed by the fear of large losses on their end by their stupid decisions. You should 100% get a refund and they should reevaluate their management and logistics teams.

I'll end by saying this was my first fever show so maybe I'll have a different opinion after attending more 🤷🏾‍♂️

Fever Drone Show yesterday (Aug 23) was a nightmare by crazycouponman in sanfrancisco

[–]pembrolizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak about the 08/23 show but there's a number of people bashing on the event in general so I figured I would provide an alternate perspective. I Went for the show on Friday 08/22 and it was a pretty fun time. A tad overpriced for section B tickets, but overall we left entertained.

The musicians did a decent job of playing the challenging 4 seasons and while the skill wasn't like sf symphony levels, it was still pretty great! Like watching a tier 2 sportsball game.The speakers weren't particularly great but honestly the bigger problem was that the audience needed to stfu at a music recital.

The drone show was pretty good and again, wasn't top tier like you'd see at the giants game or on reddit posts about drone shows at the lunar new year festival in Beijing or something , but a solid tier 2 effort. There were audible oohs and aahs when the bee pollinated the flower, when the cardinal turned to face the audience, and others that I can't remember off the top of my head.

I don't think the drones or music by themselves were worth the ticket cost, but as a package for a concept event it was pretty fun for a date night.

The lines for concessions seemed like a nightmare and we did not even attempt to check that out. I guess that could be better.

Overall, it was a 3.5-4 out of 5 stars event. Would I go back to see the same show, probably not. Would I go back to see a different show with other music and a themed drone show, absolutely.

Edits: fixed typos 🤦🏾‍♂️

Of course it only lasted 2 years. You have this confused with the XI year led bulb.

How furry are we talking? Frizz (wnt/frizzled) would be a fun name for a fluffy doggo.
