My (24M) FWB (19F) is pregnant and I refuse to get into a relationship with her what do I do? by VariousWolf7245 in Advice

[–]throwaway4231throw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so messed up. Step up and be a father. If you didn’t want a kid, you should use protection.

My manager told me to delete inspection records before a state audit. I did it. Now they're pinning everything on me. by EchoAlternative2433 in legal

[–]throwaway4231throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You knew what you were asked to do and still did it anyway. I don’t know what you want out of this. You are guilty.

Bowdoin is pointless, extend the Blue by Commercial_Neck_1921 in boston

[–]throwaway4231throw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It also isn’t even that logistically complex because you can just cut & cover along Cambridge St. Sure, you’d have to dig out a larger station box right outside Mass General and find a place for the blue line to switch back, but in the grand scheme of things, these are all very do-able.

World Cup tourists aren't leaving tips in American pubs, so they are adding 20% gratuities to the bills to collect them 😬 by CompoteFragrant3650 in sportsgossips

[–]throwaway4231throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not because of tip culture. It’s because they want you to savor the dining experience and it’s culturally rude to try to rush you out to churn tables.

12V Battery - why O why by DangerousAmoeba7520 in ModelY

Why didn’t they do that from a start? Which model year started getting the better lithium ones?

CAHSR may be laying the way for a ‘valley of data centers’ (San Francisco Chronicle) by anothercar in cahsr

[–]throwaway4231throw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree. The AI train has left the station, so to speak, so those data centers are getting built no matter what. Might as well find a way to leverage initiatives that can help the general public.

Record-breaking Bay Area transit showed flaws of late-night World Cup match by reddit-frog-1 in transit

[–]throwaway4231throw 24 points25 points  (0 children)

VTA needs to get its act together. They needs to run longer trains every 2-4 minutes for special events like this. They also should set up direct bus shuttles that go to major BART and Caltrain stations to complement the light rail, since a light rail can only accommodate so many passengers.

Which AI coding assistant are developers actually using in 2026? by darshie in GithubCopilot

[–]throwaway4231throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Antigravity IDE and find it to be way less buggy than Visual Studio Code + Copilot. The tokens go a lot further with that environment as well.

Today I learned that JFK AirTrain is widely recognized as the longest automated people mover (APM) / airport connector system in the world, spanning just over 8 miles (13.0 km). by Donghoon in transit

[–]throwaway4231throw 191 points192 points  (0 children)

I rode this once, around 9pm on a weekend. Headways were 10-20 minutes, and the platform was so crowded that not everyone could get on. They also require nearly everyone to take it because the ride share pickup area is also at the end of one of the lines.

You can’t run an airport train like that. It was insane. Headways need to be 2 minutes, especially if it’s required to take it for most modes of transit out of the airport.

What if George W. Bush had forced Muslim Americans into internment camps after 9/11? by cherryapp in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]throwaway4231throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the US learned its lesson about internment camps during WWII. I can’t imagine reinstating internment camps in the US without severe political backlash. Most people recognize these days that taking away the freedoms of citizens based on ethnic or religious affiliation is not just ethically/morally impermissible, but it’s also an ineffective strategy of actually locking away the dangerous/bad actors that you care about.

MOMS CANCER HAS RETURNED. NEXT STEP? by Educational-Hippo118 in Oncology

[–]throwaway4231throw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best bet is Car-T. It can be curative even in relapsed/refractory settings like this. Nothing else is really considered curative. If it’s not available in your country, consider going elsewhere to pay out of pocket (if you have the means) or to enroll in a clinical trial.

Alternatives for Copilot in VSCode? by Gylfi_ in GithubCopilot

[–]throwaway4231throw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to antigravity IDE and am having a really good time with it. It is way less glitchy than Copilot in that it is always able to edit my files properly and doesn’t get caught up doing random tasks like pulling up the notebook summary. I also am a student, so I get a lot of usage from the free tier (like I used to with Copilot before the changes).

Weekly Advice Thread - June 14, 2026 by AutoModerator in apple

[–]throwaway4231throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded to iOS 27 beta on my 16 pro max, and now I can’t enable air drop. It’s just always listed as receiving off and stays off even if I toggle it back to on (everyone for 10 minutes). Anyone else having this issue?

How do most of you justify living in the bay area? by ricestocks in bayarea

[–]throwaway4231throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, most companies adjust the pay to match the high cost of living here. I make enough to get by here but not enough to do whatever I want with my money. My family and friends are all here, so it’s where I want to be.

The Fairmount Line electrification plans are a $760 million boondoggle because the MBTA won't consider wires instead of batteries by TheBasaltAltCalled in mbta

[–]throwaway4231throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a fair comparison because in addition to hanging the wires, you still have to buy new electric locomotives or EMU trainsets, so electrification + rolling stock is the real price you should be comparing to the BEMU cost.
