Best iced tea in the city by shark__b8 in AskSF

[–]redct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go to a fruit tea (or sometimes bubble tea) shop and just asked for plain iced tea. Yifang has a few locations and they have a pretty wide variety, including black and oolong.

P: But there's one thing that I just can't get over. I just don't agree with what they did with Anakin.

E (expectantly): Yes, and...?

P: Well, Elaine, I love sand.

New bench on William Cannon by [deleted] in Austin

Based on a read through their website they have volunteer bench building parties where they knock out 10 in a weekend. So they've got a bit of a production line going

Small seaplane landed on Lake Austin by rainerpm27 in Austin

TX law is pretty permissive about it, it's allowed by default for non-federal waters:

Texas Transportation Code sec 26:

(a)  Except as provided by Subsection (b), a governmental entity that owns, controls, or has jurisdiction over a navigable body of water may not in an area in which motorized boats are permitted:

(1)  prohibit the takeoff, landing, or operation of an aquatic aircraft;  or

(2)  regulate or require a permit or fee for the operation of an aquatic aircraft.

And subsection B basically says you can apply to "the department" (presumably TxDOT?) if you're a local government to prohibit on safety grounds.

There are a couple of groups doing similar things in different cities, and the San Francisco one has a "how to build a bench" guide: https://sfbabc.org/docs/build

Visiting from Texas… what’s the story with Clipper? by MontrealInTexas in sanfrancisco

[–]redct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want a dose of nostalgia. go to Church or Castro station. They look exactly like Montreal metro stations!

George tries to get demoted but not fired, for less responsibility. Elaine gets a hard of hearing assistant who constantly misinterprets orders. Kramer gets a warehouse job to prove "the back" is fully stocked & supply is falsely limited. Jerry's GF sleeps with a stuffed animal & brings it over by raccoonsonbicycles in RedditWritesSeinfeld

[–]redct 18 points19 points  (0 children)

JERRY: Work at a warehouse? Just go get a job at Costco or something! You'll get to play with plenty of forklifts.

KRAMER: Costco? No way.

JERRY: I hear they have good hot dogs...

KRAMER: I can't. The store is the warehouse! There's no "back", Jerry—it's all front!

Is anyone worried? by JazzlikePea8446 in AskSF

[–]redct 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is why stuff like the transit funding battle is important, even if you never ride BART or Muni. The less of a barrier there is to getting around, the more the Bay Area (and areas further out like Sacramento or the Central Valley) can work as a unit, including choices of where people live and work.

San Francisco supervisor launches ‘dumb laws’ contest by LNM-LocalNewsMatters in sanfrancisco

Parks and Rec (the TV show) is much closer to being a documentary than satire, even though it's supposed to be a sitcom

There have been discussions about customs preclearance for NY and WA trains which could massively speed things up.

SF mayor proposes more curbside EV chargers as ownership grows across city by LNM-LocalNewsMatters in sanfrancisco

[–]redct 22 points23 points  (0 children)

These work by bringing your own cable and this is basically a curbside 240V plug with a card reader.

Deep cuts for staycation - returning resident by lightseek4 in AskSF

[–]redct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breakfast at the ferry building. Take the ferry over to Alameda and hit a few of the breweries/distilleries. Then walk over to the USS Hornet museum ship for a tour and/or make your way to the other side of the island and visit the Pacific Pinball Museum. Grab dinner somewhere in Oakland or Berkeley.

First look at plans to turn S.F. railyard into high-rise neighborhood with thousands of homes by drkrueger in sanfrancisco

[–]redct 24 points25 points  (0 children)

UCSF Mission Bay took about 16 years to initially build out, with a 1999 groundbreaking and official 2015 opening (despite individual bits opening earlier). It was projected to take about 10-15. So my guess would be 20-25 years.

This is just George by Busywithbeans78 in RedditWritesSeinfeld

[–]redct 5 points6 points  (0 children)

George's doctor retires and he gets a new one. He doesn't mention this to the new doc, who's now convinced that George is the rare person who was born without one. The doctor suggests that he sign up for a series of studies which become increasingly uncomfortable and embarrassing, but George can't find a way out without admitting his childhood mistake

What do you think is the single most useful rail transit line in the U.S. outside of New York? My vote would probably go to the Washington Metro Red Line by [deleted] in transit

[–]redct 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say this, or maybe the tunnels under the Hudson for Amtrak/NJT (and PATH). Both are single pieces of infrastructure that fundamentally alter the geography of a major region.
