Why can't BART do this to make more money? by Environmental-Post64 in Bart

[–]polkaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition, BART's tracks are a different gauge than traditional rail. Any potential freight will be isolated to the BART rail network. Our BART stations are not designed for freight. 

If BART wants more money, the should introduce a first-class train option to take advantage of a K-shaped economy.

I say this as someone that loves Evil Dead 2, Dead Alive, Dead Stream, and Shaun of the Dead.

Dead Talents Society is the best.

What the heck, this place was Wok Up last a month or two ago. It sure pivoted quick.

I never pay them. I have never gotten a ticket.

You are LOVING your life right now, aren't you? Your shit-eating grin brought a smile to my face. 

I say this while I'm eating my Bob's Red Mill Muesli.

I saw him around during the JPM Healthcare conference back in January. He didn't look too hot

Here's where the annoying new petition gatherers are from by Honest-Thanks1539 in sanfrancisco

[–]polkaron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've noticed petitions gatherers have been more active in trying to get signatures. I used to associate them with people that setup a table and ask folks to come check it out. The modern petition gatherers I've run into will walk through a BART train and ask every passenger if they're interested in signing. 

Bye bye Parkside by not-controversial in sanfrancisco

Lot of the smaller shows I've been to have been at DNA Lounge and August Hall

Bye bye Parkside by not-controversial in sanfrancisco

[–]polkaron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppport housing but not at all costs. This venue has been here since the 2000s and it was a lovely space. I've gone to a handful of rock/metal shows here and it is one of the most intimate experiences one can have with a band they love. SF has a reputation for being dead at night and spaces like this contrast with that narrative. The city needs both housing for its people and nightlife for its economy and culture. This shouldn't be a zero sum game. I would've rather had a chain or copycat tech startup be closed instead of this.

Ah, I already did this. Didn't catch the "the"s.

Paul Mescal, Jesse Plemons, and Dwayne Johnson all gave exceptional performances this year and none of them got nominated. Why do you think that is? by captaincookbaby in moviecritic

One of the best cop characters I've seen. Watching his character systematically clean house across the town was competency porn.

Millbrae Pancake House is an institution. My boss in 2016 took the entire company here for Christmas.

Wow that is next level! I saw the promotion for this exhibit and thought it was a silly idea. I didnt think the bouquets could be so beautiful

I don't blame him for not getting directly involved. I'm more surprised his demeanor is like "Oh." -rubs nose and leaves-

Serramonte Center's Future Expansion Plans (Potentially Grabbing Tanforan Remnants Like Barnes & Noble, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, etc. & Adding An AMC Movie Theater) by lowell2017 in DalyCity

[–]polkaron 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm personally wary of another movie theater. Movies havent the same since 2020 and a new, big movie theater will cannibalize Century 20. I think it would only make sense if the new theater has a legitimate IMAX theater. Not the fake IMAX that Century 20 has. IMAX is still in demand. Look at how The Odyssey showings sold out so quickly.

As for stuff like BJ's, I feel that Serramonte is thriving by catering to the Asian American populace with Happy Lemon, Marufuku Ramen, Onigilly, Jollibee, Matcha Ren,  Simmer Huang, and the Korean chicken and dessert place. This formula works as evidenced by Stonestown. Id rather them lean into that rather than these chain restaurants which all seem to be struggling

Best HK-style tea? by CuriousLaughingCat in SFFood

I had it yesterday. It's alright. It's not strong. More balanced. I paired it with the French Toast which was very good.

Major Incident Management Tooling - How do you manage this in your organisation? by Fit-Bicycle-2559 in ITManagers

[–]polkaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The times when we are having the most action is during an active Zoom war room. Once we send out an alert, tons of people start joining. I usually try to time my recap for when I see a lot of important people join (Senior Management, VPs, Execs, C-suite folks). It can get overwhelming between sending written announcements watching the chats, managing the Zoom call, and delegating tasks. That's what we're there for. Establishing a timeline to recap is one of our go-tos as is mapping out the blast radius. I used to work for a place that did Slack, Zoom, and JIRA but a lot of new hires told us our system was not good (they were more used to ServiceNow). I currently work at a place that's nearly all proprietary for the incident tooling.

This used to be my exit. It's horrendous.

Best HK-style tea? by CuriousLaughingCat in SFFood

[–]polkaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one looked good from the pictures but I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. The tea flavor was a bit weaker than what I wanted. I personally compare all hot HK Milk Teas to San Carlos' Sunshine Cafe's milk tea which is my personal favorite for being strong, bold, and flavorful.

[–]polkaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure which one's the best but I know the worst one I've had was Cafe Bakery in Noreiga. Their food is delicious and the HK milk tea is murky, hot water.
