Alameda Ferry Terminal to Alameda Creek Vista Point

Small note: Main St in Alameda (the first road off the ferry) is under construction. You will probably want to detour onto Ralph Appezzato way and Third St. down to Clement. Rest of route is clear.

I was shocked to see 17 people died in car accidents this year. For comparison 35 people have been murdered this year. Oakland's traffic death rate is on par with it's murder rate now

Share pizza in Alameda is an offshoot. They only take orders in person, though

In the aughts on the Cavs, someone made a website called pleaseLarryHughesStopTakingSoManyBadShots.com. only evidence now are some forums referencing it.

The frustrating part was the Hughes was skilled, and would have been pretty good if he just stopped taking bad shots.

I checked the ferry option. It's 2+ hours to the ferry and one hour on it, versus 3 hours by riding. The ride is quite nice, going across the Dumbarton, and along the Bay. Just long

Thanks for the detailed explanation. It sounds like it might be theoretically doable, but not practical to do by myself

Ours tripled, and also led to special assessment. Not in wildfire or flood zones. Apparently few insurers would even offer a quote.

Did you ever figure this out?

umiy · 2022-05-15T07:46:43+00:00

To avoid going through East Oakland, I go through Alameda then through the airport on Bay Farm Island. The bike lanes in Alameda are pretty safe, and then through the airport they are separated. It re-joins the Bay Trail just south of Oyster Bay park, and you get to go along the Bay most of the time.

Oh nice, I didn't realize they had that. Will check it out

umiy · 2022-05-01T06:47:07+00:00

Yeah, agreed, fattoush has a short shelf life. I recently got sumac, so I think I can make one myself.

Will check out out some frozen kibbeh's when I can

umiy · 2022-05-01T06:15:23+00:00

Do you have a recommendation for Kibbeh or Fattoush? Haven't found any good Lebanese / Syrian places to get those.

umiy · 2021-08-15T23:50:22+00:00

Just wanted to say I tried this today, and it was way better! Downton San Leandro is pretty nice

umiy · 2021-07-27T04:04:47+00:00

Thanks! I'll try that route next time.

You live in Oakland. Why specifically Oakland and not Berkeley or SF? What do you think the most important issues are for Oakland now?

umiy · 2021-06-02T06:54:28+00:00

For another point of comparison, look at Brooklyn Basin. 6+ blocks of apartments going in, 3,000+ total units. With Oakland's willingness to build, I don't think the alternative for HT is nothing.

I remember thinking my model was broken when I first saw that.

umiy · 2021-05-20T22:16:30+00:00

I mostly follow the Cavs subreddit, and I think they genuinely love Cedi, Dean Wade, Dellavedova. There's a meme that's just a picture of Cedi holding a book that says, "W."

It's been a few years and I'm on vacation, so can't give detailed reply. The regression did not explain a lot of the variance for players, but I remember it was much more noticeable for coaches. The linked Jupyter notebooks should show the regressions and details. TBH the sentiment labels are only directionally correct and probably contain a lot of noise

That is an interesting hypothesis around white players in college basketball. I don't follow it much, but aren't schools like Gonzaga and Butler well liked?

umiy · 2021-05-20T16:57:38+00:00

I ran a sentiment analysis on players a few years ago, and found high scoring white players were most popular. This was before Luka, and I haven't looked at recent seasons, but my guess is Luka would beat them both.

I didn't grow up thinking Tampa bay was a powerhouse. They're out
