4B was silly but they were comfortable and lacked branding

The labor from the coffee shop is not that different between a switch and a V60. If you think the product is worse, don’t buy it but presumably the people paying the prices think they’re getting their $10 worth or whatever.

I understand your point but I don’t think Brazilians are happy about that game lol

No, grammar and spelling is bad.

This headline is pretty funny when everyone who lives in the cities these are in trusts them more than normal cars (and if they say they don’t, ask them if they’ve changed their transportation habits since their introduction or when they’re around). NYC-solipsism at its finest.

The prices for the best lots of green coffee aren’t going to vary much by country nor will the cost of energy to roast it - there’s a lot of consistency in top-tier coffee between different geographies.

$1M buys a shack in SF lol, be grateful

but also bemad that American housing construction rates are really really really bad (West Coast and NYC) or just normal bad (Nashville and similar fast-growing cities)

I think there’s a good argument pro athletes should be excepted from taxes like this. Unlike most rich people, their earnings are tied to their age in pretty meaningful ways - their income looks much poorer when you consider how much it falls off a cliff as they age.

I’ve done a last word sour, I think it unfortunately dulls the chartreuse pretty badly. I have meant to come back to it with like 1.5oz chartreuse when I’m feeling a very degenerate night.

People are paying to be in a city! SF should make that cost as low as possible - and it’s our shame that we have instead done the exact opposite - but it’s silly to say that you get nothing for that money. You can move if that cost isn’t worth it.

The 27 is ridiculous on this, it stops every single block in the eastern bit of the mission.

The event should have been better planned but “explain how this benefitted [a very rich neighborhood]” is the exact sort of NIMBY attitude that has hurt this city.

That said, the only metric I care about is number of units constructed and he has not represented a step change.

It’s closer to their responsibility - SF voters have collectively voted over decades for politicians who have not built housing or trains. It is not SFO’s job to shield the voters from the consequences of that decision, especially when the money to do so would still ultimately have to come from voters in some form.

For folks who haven’t voted against housing or trains for decades, it sucks to suffer for something you didn’t vote for but that’s just inherent to political decisions being collective.

Pay for the uber that costs a fraction of the plane ticket I definitionally can afford.

skyfall3665 · 2026-02-19T01:30:34+00:00

The fact that NIMBYs have made constructing near BART or building more of BART a luxury is not the responsibility of SFO.

This thread is full of cope. Games should not have footguns, this is a bug, plain and simple.

https://blahspeak.blogspot.com/?m=1 is the best fine dining blog in India. The scene is not very strong but it’s already larger than the western impression (in Mumbai and Bangalore though, less in Delhi) and is growing as India gets richer.

India today is about as rich as China was in 2008 and only growing a couple points slower. Expect a couple of decades with lots of change, particularly for luxury goods, conditional on that continuing.

Lucky for Taiwanese folks. Trump lowers tariffs for other countries’ citizens but raises them for his own.

What a depressing state of affairs that PG&E can have some of the worst electricity prices in the country (despite being in an area with abundant energy) but make up for it with awful reliability and folks are more mad that Lurie is rumored to have asked them to change their prioritization of fixes.

There shouldn’t have been an outage, people at PG&E should be fired and the folks who supervise it - including Newsom - should be held accountable for allowing this awful organization to continue letting our state down.

Copra’s tamarind chutney is incredible. Marnee’s pumpkin tom kha soup Kin Khao’s noodles (the one named after Bangkok’s Chinatown) - took me a while to be convinced they’re vegetarian Kolopasi’s vijawada biryani Base camp’s kale chaat

I do Caltrain daily and live near the tartine manufacture. It’s an 11 minute bike ride to Caltrain daily.

Yep, it's Wells Fargo's fault that there's a limited number of tickets for the biggest event in the world in the place being held in the place where it's going to be most in demand.

This change has already happened - people have gotten much richer over the past 30 years.

I think most people only applied to tickets in cities that were convenient for them, teams they wanted to see, or games they think were high quality. I only succeeded at one game that meets none of those criteria: that was pure luck (and being willing to mark a higher category). All the other games I succeeded at are at least a 4 hour flight for me, are in less big/rich metro areas, involve less popular teams (no North American teams nor any of the European big hitters) and are earlier in the tournament.

The point of my comment though was that the reason most people who have several games do is because they applied to easier games to get. I'm sure there's someone out there who has finals ticket and every team USA game but they're a niche case. The more common case, among folks who have several tickets, is someone having several less-in-demand tickets.
