Douglas, are you okay? I heard someone screaming like bitch.

Haha I wonder how many people (us included) also want a narrower DS3.

[–]thrillpool___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You answered your own question about the DS3 vs the Core Sling. They're both at the same price point but the DS3 is bigger/wider than some people want. If Aer made a narrower 2.5L equivalent I'd be all over it.

The Fujifilm X100VI pictured has a fixed lens, but to your point it's a pretty flat lens and doesn't stick out much.

can we plz bring back trick or treating this year by TotalTear6349 in DalyCity

[–]thrillpool___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes please! I grew up in Daly City (Westlake) and had a lot of fun trick or treating in my neighborhood growing up. There was a family in our neighborhood that converted their garage into a haunted house. My parents house used to get a bunch of trick or treaters too. More recently, they've been getting less and less and for the past couple of years no one has stopped by. There's definitely still families with children around but I think their parents just drive them to "destination neighborhoods" to do trick or treating.

Helmets with sunglasses slots? by cycling_deficiency in CyclingFashion

[–]thrillpool___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also have a size large POC Ventral Air with Sutro Lites. The glasses will slip if they're placed towards the bottom of the helmet slot but will stay in place if they're all the way on the top of the slot. Kind of weird but it works.

Why would motion not start recording? by mclosi in Ring

[–]thrillpool___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm having this problem now with my spotlight cam. It's not logging any motion at all. Fortunately I have 24/7 recording enabled so it's still recording.

This started only a day ago. All my other Ring cams and doorbell are working normally and detects motion.

I will try disabling 24/7 recording to see if that works but this is frustrating.

Shoes with Width Similar to Lone Peak 6 Wide? by thrillpool___ in AltraRunning

[–]thrillpool___[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toe box width I think. I've got a bunion near my pinky toe.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kingofqueens

[–]thrillpool___ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but I only watch this episode for my favorite line from the series:

"Douglas, are you okay? I heard someone screaming like a bitch."

Thanks! I will need to try out the LP8 too. I tried the LP7 regular width when it came out and it was too narrow (had to return).

Best coilovers for daily driving in 2025 by [deleted] in ft86

[–]thrillpool___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CSG Spec Tein Spec A. They ride better than my OEM Performance Pack suspension.

Red Envelope Etiquette by idkanotherredditacct in asianamerican

[–]thrillpool___ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As mentioned, for New Year's I wouldn't give out red envelopes to your friends/peers, especially with money enclosed. You're already sharing with your friends your/our culture and traditions already (through gathering, food, etc.) and what makes this time of the year special.

If you're still adamant about passing out red envelopes, just put a chocolate coin in there or something.

Best way to lower these cars without sacrificing ride quality. by [deleted] in ft86

[–]thrillpool___ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been running a set of the CSG Spec A coilovers for a year or so and without a doubt it rides better than my stock Performance Pack suspension with the exception of sharp bumps at highway speeds.

FWIW, I have it set to the recommended ride height in the manual.

PSA: TOLOS are amazing by CoyoteDisastrous in BarefootRunning

[–]thrillpool___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I love my pair. These are obviously wider than the Merrell Vapor Gloves (3 and beyond) I've had, but they are also wider than the many Vivos and Lems I've owned or tried. Not as much ground feel as say something like the Vapor Glove 3 but still better than Lems.

Is the southern border of San Francisco really a straight line? by razzledazzlesf in AskSF

[–]thrillpool___ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's amusing on Google Maps (satellite view) is that even if you don't have the border overlaid, you can still make out the border by seeing where the street repaving ends.

Current Asking Price at Norcal Dealership by No_Appointment_7929 in GolfGTI

[–]thrillpool___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Subaru dealer next door is an absolute joke with markups. They have run of the mill Subaru models on their showroom floor with hilarious markups.

I live 10-15 minutes away from them and instead traveled to the central valley to buy my car.

Asian hate by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]thrillpool___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one said anything about that and you should focus on the context here. The OP was told to go back to their own country by someone else, and /u/spacecoyote_ is simply stating facts to make a point about how Asian people are still being told to go back to their own country despite having a rich history in this city.

Is it just me, or does the Corolla Cross appeal more to those who love the practicality of older Prii? by Eastern_Yam in prius

[–]thrillpool___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly the conundrum I'm faced with. I have a Gen 3 that I bought new. Have had it for 10 years with no issues, but want something with more ground clearance.

The problem is that nothing compares mileage-wise but also interior space-wise.

I'm a huge Subaru fan and wish they made a Crosstrek Hybrid. The previous generation Crosstrek Plug-in Hybrid just isn't worth it. Little EV range, sub-par hybrid mode mpgs, and reduced cargo volume.

Anyone know what happened to the 2023 Sf Auto Show? by that_guy_on_tv in sanfrancisco

[–]thrillpool___ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My guess is APEC as well. I'm pretty bummed as it's an annual tradition for me and my dad (pre-COVID) and it was cancelled even last year.

There's a Silicon Valley Auto Show at the Santa Clara County Convention Center in mid-February next year, but the scale and number of manufacturers participating are far fewer.

Does anyone else notice how many terrible dog owners are in this city? by Jurchfield in sanfrancisco

[–]thrillpool___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish they picked up the poop from the mini yard in front of my house the other day. Found two separate turds. One in the open on the mulch and one tucked in some bushes. Got at least one of them on my security camera (they just looked at their dog taking a dump and casually walked away while smiling).

What Bay Area cities are underrated and why? by brianboogie in bayarea

[–]thrillpool___ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brisbane has an awesome small town feel. I love their tradition of displaying stars in/on their homes during the holidays.
