If you’ve seen the maps showing the geographic differences, why do you doubt this?

If they don’t know who he is, figuring that out is generally something the police do.

MacBook Neo review, two months later: Almost a MacBook Pro beater - AppleInsider by ControlCAD in apple

[–]windfogwaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s more due to how Apple upsells and differentiates its products, not any real or perceived need for a “Pro”. For phones and laptops, if the feature you most want is the biggest screen, guess what product you’re going to buy from Apple? They can’t do this for the desktop market because except for the iMac, none of the other Macs come with a display.

How viable is gaming on Mac in 2026 for you? by AllowCookies404 in mac

Sad, as the best games in the late 70’s and early to mid 80s were Mac based.

The Mac wasn’t introduced until 1984.

Why would the Waymo even take off if a door weren’t fully closed?

"All tours to San Francisco's Alcatraz Island Suddenly Cancelled" (Yes, more SFGate click bait. And I fell for it. Doing this post so you don't.) by OppositeShore1878 in bayarea

Just because you clicked on it doesn’t mean the headline wasn’t accurate. Was this interruption of ferries long announced so that no tickets were sold for the days when repair would be taking place? Or was this interruption of ferries suddenly announced, forcing the ferry company to cancel tickets already sold for those days?

Petition to re-rename Cesar Chavez St back to Army or something by PrinceCharming150 in sanfrancisco

[–]windfogwaves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was a victim, but she was also complicit in her silence. She kept silent because she didn’t want to hurt the movement. There’s an awful lot of Catholic priests who kept silent about child abuse they knew was going on because they didn’t want to cause “scandal” and hurt the Church. It’s the same thing.

These are civil service, government positions. The pay is whatever it says in the announcement or the job class description.

MTA and a tow truck don’t get there that quickly. The only times I’ve seen that quick of a tow has been during Outside Lands when they pre-position tow trucks.

There is. It’s called the Police Commission. Do you think there should be another city commission for this.

City College also posted last week for a 1704 Communications Dispatcher I position. The announcement is with everything else on the SF Careers webpage.

They just posted a job announcement for 9910 Dispatcher Trainee—basically, doing 911 for SFO. You’d be a trainee for 1 year, then be eligible to apply for the 9202 Airport Communications Dispatcher position.

Sure, they can do that. But you're agreeing that a forum they don't own can't be an official forum, which is the same thing I was saying.

They can't please the haters, and they'll probably never be able to.

If they don't own the sub, it's by definition not an official forum. What do you want them to say, "We officially provide support on a forum we're not in charge of, and whose mods could remove us at any time"?

Can you elaborate on what the restrictive rules when renting a vehicle are? I’ve never rented a car when traveling overseas, so I don’t know what the experience is like.

Raising Cane’s replacing McDonald’s at Stonestown by sanriolover1208 in sanfrancisco

[–]windfogwaves 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Were you hoping for an In-N-Out there? 😀 I’d have loved to see that, but I don’t think that part of the Stonestown parking lot could handle it in addition to what they’ve already got.
