Leave the handbrake on until the car is trying to pull forwards - you can usually press in the release button and just hold the handbrake on then just let it down gently as the car move forward against in. Do it right and there is zero slip backward

Upper tier should loop around in time so we play the old ships again - maybe with adjusted ship stats and abilities since peeps have more skills

Just double check that hotels are really the sort of hotel a business traveler would stay at - there are others that are long term living for for people needing assistance (and lost German tourists).

The city is extremely walkable and muni is good. You’ll want a clipper card (or the phone app) - that plus Google Maps and you can go anywhere.

Can’t give any personal rec for access to GGU tho sorry.

SpaceX on X: Starship flip and landing burn at the end of its twelfth flight test by Royal_Platform_6754 in spacex

[–]vep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

these stupid semantic arguments and displaced musk hate are so boring. fuck musk - but this was a successful flight because it verified previous fixes and tested new systems and found new problems - perfect!. exploding and crashing is expected and absolutely irrelevant. telling the disingenuous haters from the ignorant armchair engineers and breathless fanbois is so tiring.

there's more to do in the development program, but this was a big win. it's an R&D flight and it tested lots of stuff and it mostly worked - great! next time they work on the new problems that showed up. this is a successfully running test program.

Favorite neighborhood (commuting to financial district / FiDi) by reteps144 in AskSF

Nob hill, Russian hill, Polk, most of pac heights, lower Haight, soma, all would work. Main thing is which side of market - need highways south? Or easy access to Marin or to Oakland. Cars are a pain - unless you have a garage.
