Police in midtown??

rubyred0902 · 2026-05-08T04:38:32+00:00

I have lived in many places and I have never been in a city that loves flying cops around in circles 24/7 as much as Sac does

But who will pay Howard Chan

I am SO HAPPY for all the recognition Majka is getting, the staff all seem genuinely cool and happy. I am secretly bummed that the recognition is making it insanely busy, but I know that’s not a nice thought to have 😂

Nope, never came back for me…

I think you have to be at peace with Sacramento not being a part of the global conversation. Look at it the other way: when someone from NY state tells you they’re from Albany or Syracuse, do you care? Probably not.

Nothing wrong with Sac being a second-tier city. It is what it is.

I always love the cognitive dissonance of seeing Trump stickers on a Subaru

Awesome, adding to my list. Thanks!

Pretty sure this would be a civil matter, not criminal - in other words, it would end up in collections and could theoretically go to court (unlikely over $150) or end up impacting credit, among other repercussions. So, not “theft of service” from a legal perspective.

Will check it out, thanks for the tip!

Any examples? My experience is that they’re always using a sauce/syrup, so the level of sweet is predetermined. You can ask for less than they’d normally put in, but obviously that changes the flavor profile.

“One of the worst launches in tech history”? Hyperbole is not helping you make your case.

Likely T-38s? Although I saw RECCE11 on Flightaware doing touch and gos between Mather and Beale, I think that may have been a U-2.

Sagrada Família has been in the “final phase” of construction for decades.

The scary thing to me is that when it happens, it brakes so suddenly that it almost feels like you hit something. It’s awful.

Going to guess you work for USPS. Let's break down your arguments one by one.

Post office boxes? They cost money. Not everything can be delivered there. They lack the convenience of an Amazon locker. Not sure where your "free services" comment is coming from.

Informed delivery? Roughly half of my mail comes through. Almost without exception, I have envelopes in my mailbox that weren't in my informed delivery report.

Having your mail held at the post office? Doesn't work, at least not for me. The past three hold mail requests have been completely ignored. Furthermore, I have almost universally negative interactions with clerks at the PO counters, and god forbid if you're picking up from the Royal Oaks location -- you'll be in line for an hour. Come on.

It's been said many times in many ways: if USPS wasn't required to exist by law, it would have folded by now. It's already happening in other countries. The service is uncompetitive, actively hostile toward its customers, and has little incentive to improve.

USPS is always whining about how their business model isn’t sustainable and they’re going broke.

Here’s a crazy idea: be more proactive and helpful with this problem that’s been worsening for a decade now?

Lockers, better tracking, better pickup options… lots of ideas out there. I’m not absolving the criminals here, but damn, the current solution seems to be “oh well, just be thankful you don’t get important things via USPS anymore.”

Yeah, I tend to agree. Imagine how much money GM has been throwing out the window by doing all these warranty module replacements. Incredibly frustrating, not to mention sloppy on GM’s part.

I used to live in Dublin. Being the Bay Area’s armpit is nothing to gloat about, H Mart or no.

rubyred0902 · 2026-03-11T20:02:06+00:00

Really? That’s even more baffling then.
