   Have you seen Caltrain's service lately? To be realistic, I'd prefer our regional systems have more frequent headways and BART to circle the bay. SF-LA commuters are a drop compared to local commuters. I'll even settle for a

   Unfortunately, .cm and .co are also rife for phishing scams. (Apologies to the good folk of Cameroon.)

   Theoretically you could adapt this for less expensive rangefinders like a Canonet QL17. M4-2s are also less desirable.

   This Karim Rashid quote stood out to me when I was a teenager: > Own 30 pairs of same color socks and 30 pairs of the same colored underwear so that socks always match, and do your laundry every month. Not that I follow it to a T, but I

   Uh, it wouldn't be just poor people. It'd be the bottom 98%. You're proposing turning certain national/state-owned campsites into luxury experiences. (Though arguably with bots and scrapers, that's maybe what they a

    If all one cares about are that only their fellow millionaires get to savor some publicly-owned campsites, then sure that's a great solution.

    I have an acquaintance that moved there for the electronic music scene, DJ’d regularly at Berghain, and has an Essential Mix. She probably would not have been that successful had she stayed in SF.

    How did you do these things, though? E.g. traveling is incredibly easy nowadays with smartphones and flying by plane. Have you biked across Euroasia with no internet access and and paper guidebooks? There's a good chance that magic o

    Climate-wise, Marana, AZ doesn't seem any milder (I'm also surprised the Mojave doesn't cross 100ºF): https://weatherspark.com/compare/y/1757~2591/Comparison-of-t... Basically asking, "if

    I'm pretty sure the Mojave storage field is where it is because of its proximity to Edwards AFB and Bakersfield, but climate and land cost-wise, would there be a milder, yet dry, location to store aircraft outdoors in the States?

    Following your example, we should make wages transparent. So that way the 3x engineers know they're being correctly compensated by management, right?

    Sorry for the late reply. Yeah it's a chicken and egg problem here in the US. If there aren't enough riders, then the planners won't have the data to support painting some bike lanes to attract more riders and get people out

    In case you don't know, you probably don't need to pump your tire up to the stated pressure on the side of it. Check out these guides for more specific numbers, but generally if you're ~160lbs, you can get away with 80psi or

    The white plastic keys really clash with the darker wood. If one's going in the direction of ostentatiousness, I feel like it needs some ivory inlays to break up the monotony.

    If one's flying enough, ideally they have status with an airline to have some baggage allowance. I hear you, though, I frequently bring back some knickknacks from abroad and will check in a small bag of booze.

    What's up with all these responses about turning women into breeding machines when the basic issue is that it's difficult to provide a decent life for a child on a single income? How about we make it not a PITA to be a mother?

    Ghost busses are most likely an issue with the GTFS real-time data from the agency, which the app just displays. I’ve personally also experienced the same issue with SF’s Muni.
