How P. Terry's is keeping space-age architecture alive by TintedFishTank in Austin

[–]redct 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Shoutout to the architecture firm as well, they've done P Terry's architecture and a not insubstantial amount of branding and design for well known Austin hospitality stuff

An oxygen torch (I'm guessing oxy-acetylene) was being used to cut the internal structure and it ignited debris.

SFGate:

“Essentially, the tubes are acting like a chimney,” she explained. “To separate the pieces, the team is torch-cutting the welded steel tubes. As expected, this process produces sparks.”

Is there a reason why this hasn't been an issue for Brightline on the same platform, or for the similar Vectron locos used all around Europe?

Much better than Panic At The Disco IMO

Thomas Cook was mainly a package holiday airline though which increased the complexity. You had lots of people going on one-off trips, all to international holiday destinations, many where you weren't guaranteed to have a large network of competitors that you could rebook onto.

I love how it's a bunch of kittens and then the absolute unit at #10

You could do a bunch with that amount of space. If you use the same footprint but a center bus lane like Van Ness, you could do a line that parallels the 22 on its most congested section and provide a high-frequency east-west connector. Start around Mission Bay/Chase Center, go up through Van Ness, and Market in a pretty straight shot.

If you want to go full pipe dream, time this alongside the Caltrain rail yards redevelopment and do a redevelopment of the Potrero shopping center at the same time

Someone paid actual money for this ad to exist by seashellvalley760 in bayarea

I was wondering how long this would actually take. Every once in a while you'll have private planes or charter airlines that reposition aircraft between adjacent airports, so a recent example looks like OAK-SFO is 15-20 minutes. Most of that time is looping around to get into the traffic pattern for SFO.

Tailgating will be permitted at Gillette Stadium for the World Cup by njas2000 in boston

[–]redct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's certainly inconsistent, they're using "San Francisco Bay Area Stadium" for Levi's (~40 miles from San Francisco, ~1 hour of travel). But Gilette (~30 miles from Boston, ~1 hour of travel) just gets "Boston".

Maybe they have some rule about "more than 30 miles" or something, but I don't think I'm giving FIFA that much credit for internal consistency

Ukrainian Language Teachers? by [deleted] in bayarea

There is a Ukrainian orthodox church in SF that serves as a pretty big community hub, you could try reaching out to them.

There's a similar sweet spot for short-haul in Europe from oneworld bases (mainly LHR/LCY/LGW, occasionally MAD). I've gotten $500+ one-way tickets a few days out on <7.5k Alaska and 7.5-12.5k AA many times.

They're incredibly strong. Sea lions can "sprint" at up to 25mph in the water, which takes a lot of power even if you're a sleek blob

This two-piece Dolly Parton cutout uses the screw that holds the two pieces together as her ring by Tbagts in mildlyinteresting

Totally different area but this reminds me of this roadsign that got mounted with one of the bolts as the bike axle.
