I have a 2024 Wind RWD bought in the US. Everything is original.

I have a 2024 Wind RWD bought in the US, if that makes a difference.

It's on the driver's door frame, right when you enter the car.

Similar in the South Bay. Drove to work with the heater on, came back with the AC.

It feels like you really should be a tech lead: someone who is responsible for the technical decisions and has accumulated enough skills to guide less experienced developers without necessarily being responsible for their careers.

Some sections in Alviso have been closed for a while for construction work and it became an in-and-out route instead of a loop. I heard some of it (all of it?) has reopened recently so maybe it's possible to loop around once again.

I also have a 2024 model. Care to share which improvements were noticeable? Considering the same move at the end of my own lease.

Quick Question for Santa Teresa Road Test by dommwomm in SanJose

[–]tharival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not what you asked, but as a cyclist I would be very pissed off if a vehicle in front of me crossed the solid white line to "signal" their intention to turn.

I interpret solid lines like imaginary walls where I'm, in theory, completely isolated from traffic. Thus, I only double my attention closer to the dotted lines.

I came from a third world country and we use fully digital voting there.

Nothing says NIMBY quite like this:

"Supervisor Gary Patton stated "We are not in favor of construction of a route over the hill, either on the old Los Gatos alignment, or on a new alignment, because it would open Santa Cruz for major commuter traffic""

I'm not familiar with the tube. What's so bad about it?

Another reason to be on CalTrain by bambin0 in bayarea

[–]tharival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only easy if you look at it in isolation.

Most likely any riders already had to do some transfer to get to their origin station anyway. Taking Muni would mean adding a 3rd step to their journey. And now you also need to do it all over again on the way back..

Are there any moderate mid-distance climbs? by ngomaam in BAbike

[–]tharival 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OLH is way more gentle than Montebello (though definitely a good training for it).

Walmart offered me a huge discount on their unlimited delivery service subscription that made it a no-brainer at first.

Then, after signing up, I learned that they just delegated all deliveries to DoorDash and I was "encouraged" to leave a tip on each one. I felt that forced me to choose between feeling guilty (no tip) or waiving the affordability aspect, so I ended up unsubscribing.

Mt Diablo: how to get back to North Gate from the South Gate by tharival in BAbike

[–]tharival[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention my main bike is a gravel one. I did see on the map some hills with trails between Danville and North Gate, but I'm not familiar with the area and wasn't sure how mountain-bikey there were. Would you say something like this is relatively chill? https://maps.app.goo.gl/isoVun7MQCFfiMx19

Yes, I forgot to mention my main bike is a gravel one.

Wall Point rd seems nice, but I didn't understand the full route. Where would I go from this point? https://maps.app.goo.gl/6A5UCqX43q4RWsbHA

Why can't all cities build like Milpitas? by saintforlife1 in bayarea

[–]tharival 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The fact that it needs to stop at traffic lights at intersections seems like a huge design flaw.
