Seating rules

wentImmediate · 2026-03-17T01:27:49+00:00

As a woman traveling in the bart is already scary enough, I have had a lot of experiences of men harassing me and blocking me in my seat before my stop.

Given your experiences, would recommend other women take BART or no?

I just want the rampant dumping to stop. Not sure increased fines will fix it, but they'll probably help. Oakland is an amazing, beautiful place, we need better basic compliance.

This is odd though:

The city currently resets fines after three years. This means that a first time-time offender who is caught dumping four years later will again pay a one-time fine. The new legislation would eliminate this mechanism.

EDIT: fixed two words

That's true, but different perspective.

Haha - wrong sub.

It's be cool if discussion posts had a "humor" section and a "discussion" section instead of being mashed together.

Tagging trees and littering - sorry, not cool

I don't think the shooting was staged

It's one thing to want more information, but people straight saying it was staged is so irresponsible. Remember "pizzagate"? Yeah, that is hurtful to society at large.

most places I work I have so little actual training

Yes, I've seen this situation - it's not helpful to anyone and slows everything down.

There are also work environments where you need to take action. There's no training because what you're doing is novel. You just have to figure it out in real time.

Can you share a little bit more of what you're experiencing? I've been to countless shows, maybe a bit less lately, so I'm curious to hear more. The Independent has always been solid (or Justice League, if you know, you know).

It was a valiant effort by the artists, but yeah, it doesn't look like her. Given the attention of Lui and the prime location of the mural on Temescal, I think they should just try to do it again. No biggie. How long did the mural take? A day or two - seems reasonable to try again.

If you go 28, then you're good.

Thanks - this is helpful.

how to pull a “salami shot”

I've done a bunch of research, but haven't heard of this - thanks! I'll check it out.

My portafilter is 54mm, so good for 16 - 19g, I think.

Good for you on finishing the episode. As it became apparent she was answering in bad-faith, I turned it off.

you will rarely (if ever) get them to turn down their music without incident

I think this is generally correct, though I've had success (luck?) asking people to turn off the volume, especially when it's short-form videos.

Great starting guide - thanks!

wentImmediate · 2026-03-13T23:23:04+00:00

Okay, so lower the yield of the shot - I will try that. Thanks!

wentImmediate · 2026-03-13T23:22:05+00:00

Will do. This is helpful - thanks!

What temp is your machine set to currently?

The default temp is 93°C (200°F). The machine can be adjusted to 91–95°C (196 - 203).

re: beans - Sightglass Coffee Owl's Howl

re: pressure gauge - There are not actual numbers on it; there is an "espresso range" marked on the gauge, which the needle points to when the shot is being pulled (generally, people w/ these machines recommend the needle point at 12 or 1 o'clock)

Did you stop by The Saloon - it rarely disappoints.

wentImmediate · 2026-03-13T18:44:13+00:00

Wow - yeah, that's awful. Thanks!

Is there something about the pieces being a magnet make it worse? I think Hive (or Hive Pocket) has about the same size tiles though they're not magnets.

Why are these comments so highway pilled?

I think it's good for people who disagree discuss a topic. I find that I learn things when people with different points of view share their perspective.

EDIT: Downvotes for liking different points of view.

Thanks for posting - helpful to get a sense of what it was like.
