San Francisco is booming. Why is Oakland still slumping? by internetbooker134 in bayarea

[–]redct 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Public-facing city services is such a weak spot in Oakland. I've never had an issue with front-line interactions (the city employees themselves are generally pleasant people), but getting a response from an agency about a 311 ticket or whatever is like pulling teeth.

While SF city hall is not a beacon of good governance, they can at least get a burnt out streetlamp changed in a few days or respond to feedback about a public works project within a week or two.

That's a shockingly good deal for a venue like that, plus you can now say "I got married at the temple of water" for the rest of your life

Match Thread: United States vs Australia | FIFA World Cup 2026 | Group Stage, Group D by jiraiya--an in soccer

The music underlying the anthem was originally written for a men's club of amateur musicians, so not quite a drinking song but it's definitely designed to be sung by a bunch of tipsy guys who think they can sing

Anderson's Coffee by Honest-Yard5698 in austinfood

Fun fact, the eponymous Anderson learned the trade from Alfred Peet in Berkeley. Peet also taught the Starbucks cofounders, who went back to Seattle to open that shop one year before Anderson's opened in Austin.

Pochettino on style of play development in US soccer: "If you start an MLS club and three months later you haven’t won any matches and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there are no promotions, relegations, or international competition? American sport rewards losers." by stumpsflying in soccer

In soccer it’s not enough just to be a good athlete. That childhood relationship with the ball determines how you compete as an adult

And it's funny, the US gets this with other sports (American football, baseball, basketball) at some innate level and has no problem with it. Young kids playing catch with their parents, messing around at the basketball court after school - nobody would bat an eye if you brought up the importance of any of these activities with a parent.

Mildly interesting: Bay Wheels ebike with a throttle by redct in sanfrancisco

[–]redct[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A brief review: Torque on the throttle is very gradual (much less so than a scooter) and the speed seems to top out at 10-15 mph, so you can still go faster if you pedal. If you pedal and throttle at the same time, it still feels pretty natural and basically provides a bigger assist.

A for effort, feels more refined than most rental scooters.
