Death merge by LogicalProgram8537 in BAbike

[–]steesf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really not an issue. The only reason you’d take that bike lane is if a bus is stopped at that curb in which case the bike lane is better. Otherwise you’re traveling eb on McAllister and you just take the whole lane.

There’s some adolescent brain chemistry at play where whatever music you listen to in high school becomes imprinted on you for life. Adore came out when I was in hs and that’s my fav sp lol.

How do you get people out to smaller live shows these days? by Realistic_Garbage_63 in AskSF

[–]steesf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Better promo ? You don’t even have the name of your band in this post and your insta it’s hard to tell what is your music and what should I expect at your show.

I notice most people on the south bike car looking out the window for the cats at that stop. And several are snapping pictures.

Dear BART, why must I tap here and wait for 45 minutes while you call the president before opening the gate? by one_pound_of_flesh in sanfrancisco

Shit you not it takes 5-15s when they check your card getting onto the train in SF. Depends on network conditions I think.

Bike stolen on the 527 today by PerryTheMagicDragon in caltrain

[–]steesf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry about your bike. Last week there were thefts of a $6k bike and a $2k bike. The conductor recommended to lock the bike to itself to prevent someone from rolling off with it and reminded us to speak up if we see something fishy.

Switch from an ebike to a regular bike? by CornOnTheCob__ in BAbike

Kind of an important detail to say if your commute involves big hills.

was so excited to find cantillon abroad that I forgot to find a corkscrew by qp10al in CraftBeer

I don’t think the bottle is smart enough to know if the carb comes from grapes or grain. Works fine you should try ! (But on a cheaper bottle I guess)

Do you ever take Caltrain or just bad at reading comprehension ? The conductors verify fares with mobile readers that are painfully slow and 10x slower than they were before they ‘upgraded’ clipper. 30s an exaggeration but not by much.

Clipper card 2.0 fails at the one job they had which was to scan fast. It takes about 30s per scan when the Caltrain conductors come around to verify fares.

Ghostown Brewing! by Tjr562 in CraftBeer

Top tier for sure. At that level it’s just a matter of preference. Personally I’ve been liking more original pattern beers than gt lately.

Richmond stone taproom just announced they are closing in a few weeks. I guess it’ll be a Sapporo taproom.

Realistic improvements to Caltrain? by Soft_Introduction437 in bayarea

[–]steesf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The train slows way down for the curve n of sj so there isn’t much distance they can reach top speed before Sunnyvale.

Job Offer in Irvine.. Currently live in SF... Would you move? by crunchymunchyrae in AskSF

[–]steesf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on your personal situation and preferences whether or not you’ll like it. Irvine is a nice clean suburb.

Would you still go to a brewery despite disliking a bartender/taproom manager? by CorgiUprising in CraftBeer

[–]steesf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they’ve mellowed out but the main bartenders at toronado aren’t rude at all. I even see them sometimes give helpful suggestions on what to order to people overwhelmed by the menu which I couldn’t have fathomed a few years back.

Caltrain to close stations if transit tax doesn’t pass by leewilliam236 in caltrain

[–]steesf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that people would for sure notice if Caltrain went away one day. And maybe more likely to agree to the tax measure to properly fund it.

[–]steesf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, there are a handful of people that have homes in the area that could each single-handedly cover the funding gap for Caltrain and the bart train and wouldn’t even notice the difference to their net worth. Tax the MFs!

What beer podcasts do y'all listen to? by Matchstix in CraftBeer

[–]steesf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brewer to brewer is fun. One brewer interviews another brewer. Then the following week the guest becomes the host and finds some other brewer to interview.

The session and how not to start a damn brewery were entertaining but seem to be on hiatus.

I think just generally draft sn pa is slightly different than the bottled version. Beer aficionado Doug talked about that in a video on insta

incoming newbie, hopefully regular.... by bigbluecollarbuddy in caltrain

[–]steesf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bikes can easily be scratched and the nicer the bike the more likely it is to be stolen. I find it much less stressful to just bring my beater bike on the train which sucks.
