The people who can answer this probably follow me: how can Caltrain catenary lines cross with MUNI trolley lines? I've seen some work along the 22; I'd think there would be a vertical clearance issue unlike trolley versus LRV.

All Mickey-esque laboobs must be worn on top of your head between your ears so that you can be easily identified as a part of the capitalist machine unlike us in First Class.

Isn't their exclusivity finally up for renewal? It's time for some competition.

I'm on PTO in Orlando today, fired off my first ever coding agent and going to go ride a roller coaster. That's what this tech is for right?

Can someone make AI that retroactively makes a design doc from my code versus the other way around? Fake some screenshots and such for me.

I can now audibly identify a Waymo by the lil wipers cleaning the LIDAR all the time.

This current board of supes is no one I voted for but I did not expect this, and this week of utter billionaire supporting moves.

"Your account is now closed" in the Square Cash app

Time to close any accounts you have with Square or Cash you can, and talk to your local coffee shop about switching! They laid off 4,000 people today, including many long-time engineers, including many of my former colleagues.

Always fun starting a new job and seeing the exact same bugs due to mocks in test code!

There is a guy on the MUNI 7 right now cosplaying as a radio DJ for "77.5 HIGH" radio and I don't hate it.

Server error in the clipper app

Autoload? Nope.

It is unacceptable that Clipper is still in a state of total brokenness. I'm trying to setup my commuter benefits for a FastPass and both the website and app just fall over.
Don't even get me started that the app loses all state every time I cold launch it.

Maybe Laurie should just stick to saying "happy new year!" in English or use his millions to hire a dialect coach.

My Lyft rider rating is a 5.0 yet my Uber one is 4.74. Guess which company I worked corporate at.

The quote from the Waymo app for SFO to Lower Haight.

The quote from the Waymo app for SFO to Lower Haight.

Waymo is slow and expensive from SFO. My HumanPool is a whole $20, which beats paying $11 for rainy BART with a bag up a hill.

On approach to SFO right now, the rain is just horizontal lines out the windows.

Oh no! @bart.gov's email list system says my domain Kurt.contact is invalid! Please get rid of the regex, it is no longer a valid way to validate emails.

It was strange going to the 9/11 museum today and being mainly surrounded by a combo of foreign tourists and people younger than me. An exhibit was dedicated to drawings made by 5th and 6th graders in 2001, aka me.

As we know Laurie is a spinless rich boy who has never had to deal with problems, especially based on his statement.

Case in point, asked for a diet coke, 5 minutes later get what is definitely diet Pepsi.

Why do American hotel restaurants always have really slow bad service by inexperienced servers yet charge a large premium? I've been in 4 in the last two weeks only because I've had included credits. I feel like they prop them up by sending us statused travelers in.
