Naw, that’s not what blows the mind. What blows the mind is when I was growing up, there was an idiot flying the confederate battle flag in front of his house in Richmond, CA. This in a town that’s been majority black since like 1942.

No, you can’t do that. You have to buy pre-ground produce in order for the StompBag to work. So let’s say you get jars of the pre-ground mulch shipped to you, then you spoon out some mulch and put in the stompbag.

I dunno which part of California you went to but here in metropolitan NorCal hapa is a fully accepted and used term, at least in the last 20+ years.

You really have to publish all the “obvious” stuff just so it’s out there in print, otherwise they’d just say “that’s just your opinion, man”.

WilMA actually does get modified for precisely that reason, and actually works out quite simply: The entire group on the same reservation board with the earliest group member. So if you’re sitting in 35DEF with your spouse and child, you board with the outside group.

their fucking juicers

What if Juicero just converted itself into a juice subscription service and shipped out “bottles” of their pre-squeezed “very good” juice, no machine required? Because where I stand, the machine itself isn’t a value add. It’s not like it’s actually squeezing fruit in it.

Their current routing plan is down the peninsula on Caltrain tracks, then east to I-5ish, bypassing the East Bay entirely. The Sacramento spur heads due north from where the tracks turn west into San Jose, so no East Bay routing there, either. I suppose you could take BART to Diridon and transfer there, but you’re…

Yeah, instead of Limited they should’ve named it the City Tiguan (like when they sold the old Golf and Jetta in Canada as the City Golf and the City Jetta) OR named the new one the Tiguan limited....

Neither SF nor SJ is remotely convenient for the 2+ million people in the East Bay.

Agreed. That terminal placement is smack in the middle of a hot mess. That said, the SFO backwards BART/Caltrain jaunt doesn’t particularly inspire historical confidence. It’s almost as if transit planners here want to will humanity into behaving differently.

Nice try at White-ifying Asians. Sorry, but don’t project your guilt onto them.

Ah, I wasn’t aware that the African immigrants have made it to Melbourne. Interestingly enough, here in the United States, African immigrants are perceived to be the ones “taking up” all the “affirmative action” “quotas” (gag). The annoyance I have with this Chinese descent shopkeeper is that he didn’t see he was an…

But SFO/OAK check-in, security and boarding easily adds up to more than half an hour. That’s not even counting late arriving flights, cleaning before boarding, runway delays, and sitting on the tarmac waiting for an open gate. 30 more minutes is a bargain.

Yeah, that’ll be in the buildout. Getting to Baltimore doesn’t do Joe Biden any good if he needs to get to DC...

I think that’s what they’re trying to do with the gas tax public transit earmark is to backfill lost federal funding. It’s probably going to be a money loser from fares until they decide that trying to promote central valley land as HSR commutable to SF/LA is a thing.

Yeah so you should know that the segment they’re building now is PART of the SF-LA alignment. Building the central valley segment first is actually the most logical solution. It’s probably also the case that the rail depot for HSR will be located in the central valley. So the alternative would mean paying to upgrade…

They mean Aboriginals in the Australian context.

That mfer is a damn ladder puller, and the use of the specific phrase “X and dogs are not allowed” is a reference to anti-Chinese racism in colonial times, so I’m 100% sure the shop owner is of Chinese descent.

I hope you don’t live in New Jersey, then:
