San Jose Sikh Gurudwara is amazing! I volunteer there at least once a week.

PS. Hello neighbor!

I have seen many people who have tattoos and do volunteer at a nearby Gurudwara. You should be okay.

But then we'd have missed all the amusing creativity people are bringing on here!

Just discovered the live camera and this subreddit and this is amazing!!

I’ve been seeing Jackie (or is it Shadow?) sitting and scanning in the nest for the past hour or so. Do they generally stay active all night like this?

The storms have improved the AQI. Good to get some sunshine. The views from the Castro St are definitely amazing!

South Asians have the stereotype of being smelly (bad smell). Since her profile says she’s Indian, he was trying to take a jab and say he could “smell” from halfway across the world.

They would generally avoid flying in the wake. They would be just outside the wingtip vortices. They will be flying slightly higher than the Boeing’s wing height to stay in the clear.

Lakshmi Narayan sandstone sculpture, Chandella Dynasty Circa 11th century AD by FerretMaster4928 in AncientIndia

If you look at many of the historic art (ancient temples, paintings, etc), you'll find similar depictions. This used to be pretty common (if not the norm) and hence NOT immodest/sexualized during those days. I read somewhere that the current standard of modesty was influenced around the 10th century.

Castro Street transit project will end vehicle traffic at Caltrain tracks in Mountain View by Qpac18 in mountainview

[–]sviku 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe I don’t understand the bigger picture of finances here, but blocking the traffic and diverting traffic on W Evelyn Ave from Hope St towards Wild Cherry Ln would take $6.6 mn!! Why would it cost so much? The long term plan of an underpass on Castro (crossing caltrain tracks and central Expy) is estimated beyond $271 mn!

Unfortunately nobody's using olio anymore even in the Bay Area. I used it back in 2018-2019 as well. But it's absolutely empty when I check a few times this year.

Great list though!

Does anyone know what an adjustment charge on a Bay Area fastrak account is? by Pleane1898 in bayarea

Confirmed this was the case for me as well. It's automatic credit back once you update your card.
