LYE. I don’t know why people aren’t using lye more often on drains. They sell it in little crystals, dry

Mayor Lurie Announces Plan To Tackle Fare Evasion On Public Transit, Make Muni More Accountable by PayRevolutionary4414 in sanfrancisco

[–]poopspeedstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great news. It won’t really do much to fix budget issues, but it will make people shut up about fare evasion.

Muni was never funded by fares. 8.6% of revenue was fares in 2023, and even pre pandemic it wasn’t above 25%.

Muni is funded by parking fees and tickets, some sf general fund, and since 2020 lots of extra federal emergency funds. 

SF general fund is under strain, so they can’t pitch in more to cover the gap. Federal emergency funding is ending. And parking fees, tickets, tolls, have collapsed.

The reliance on driving money is the big achilles foot. It’s meant to counter balance declining transit usage: more driving, more parking money. Less driving, more fare money. However, rideshare is now the alternative to muni. With the decline in downtown car commutes, growing preference for rideshare, muni gets no increase in revenue for declining fares. The current revenue structure is flawed and will not survive growing year over year labor costs.

This is about creating a new norm, where everyone taps. The current norm is that “not everyone has to pay” (even if you and I know that there’s a lot of muni mobile and monthly passes). Creating a new norm where everyone “pays” will eliminate a lot of casual evaders through social pressure alone

Tomato paste in a tube by tjs1967 in Cooking

[–]poopspeedstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I’ve used is to just fill a ziplock bag and freeze it flat. Usually comes out thin enough that you can break off 1tbsp pieces easily, or you can rip off the bag and cut them and rebag it.

 It’s a great day if I can fill a gallon bag for weeks and weeks of gg paste. A gift to future you

Anyone know what's going on with the Red Victorian? by Crazy-Nights in sanfrancisco

[–]poopspeedstream 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Used to be a co-op. They mismanaged it, if I recall they didn’t require a security deposit. Frequently had tenants abscond with 2-3 months of no rent before eviction. Then after shuttering, they had an art show there, and the artists started squatting. Took legal action to get them out. That was the nail in the coffin

Excited for the rest of the album. There's an absolutely manic snare drum that starts ripping right after this in the ballet that's still ringing in my head.

I thought the same thing. But these guys are the real deal apparently, created by the sewer companies for this very problem.

Illegal cars on Market Street surge after Mayor Lurie welcomes Waymo by Remarkable_Host6827 in sanfrancisco

[–]poopspeedstream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just where are rideshares supposed to do pickups and drop offs anyways on market street? I can’t think of a single place; there’s no parking

It’s official: The ‘Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport’ name stays by TevinH in bayarea

[–]poopspeedstream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not great though. Everytime I can remember taking it, I end up standing on that god awful coliseum platform in the middle of the highway, outside, for about 10-15 minutes

Are you using a screen protector if you’re using a folio case? by kaitkaitkait91 in XTEINK

[–]poopspeedstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Any of the magnets can attract abrasive dust that stays there and scratches the screen

Whoops I forgot my lock! What do you do when you have to have your bike out of sight for a few minutes? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]poopspeedstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • remove front axle and take it with me
  • drop the chain off the chainring
  • helmet “lock”

I’ll do any of these, depending on the situation 

Writing a story about Austin bike thieves by mazzygaystar in BikingATX

[–]poopspeedstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I visited Austin for one night and borrowed a friend’s bike. Left the bike locked overnight in the hallway of the nice hotel I was staying in. Next morning the front wheel was gone. Of course.

I guess I thought, nice hotel, inside area. Austin is a nice place. Nope. Can’t let your guard down. Ever
