Helpful context. Was wondering why a local business group would be opposed to 700+ new customers - that’s where a lot of the current customers probably park.

At the same time, this is NIMBYism. The Bay desperately needs housing near transit at scale and it’s brutal to see every single project face this kind of resistance.

I grew up in SJ, lived in SF for 10 years, and moved to Detroit last year. My mom is “concerned” about the larger apartment buildings building up near Meridian and Fruitdale because “people won’t be able to see the mountains behind the big buildings”.

Well congrats mom. You got your spot but I and the other people making under 120k/year won’t be there to enjoy them.

I think the Abuelo ban is kinda bullshit. Is their stance that enchantment reanimation well only occur at 5+ mana value for the next 4 years that Omniscience is legal?

What deck is playing omniscience fairly in main deck or sideboard? I know they mentioned some other powerful enchantments but those don’t allow you to combo off while tapped out the same turn.

Mamdani won a mayoral primary, hasn’t even been elected yet and the hype on all sides is enormous.

Really hope New Yorkers dig in and back this dude.

Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.

I rewatched Idiocracy last fall. It’s much less enjoyable than watching it as a teen in the late 2000s because its so real now.

That is a big bridge. Impressive to see that many people shoulder to shoulder.

I visited Budapest in 2015 and most recently this summer. The city subway was significantly modernized, and also felt more expensive. Overall a great experience. Curious how the last 10 years have been for you? What’s your recommendation for a place to visit in Hungary outside of Budapest?

It’s like there was a creative writing exercise with a prompt to pack as much bullshit as possible into 5 sentences.

It’s constantly horrifying that our president communicates like this in public. Completely unreal.

Also adding the main opponent, Andrew Cuomo, the former governor of New York State for a decade, had multiple credible sexual assault allegations only three years ago amongst other corruption scandals.

It’s weird he even wants to be mayor and has major credibility issues. I think if you want to call a progressive wave, an established Democrat who’s not completely fucking sketch needs to lose.

This was the late 2000s but knew a person actively working on long range ballistic missile interception. Asked, “how does it work? Is it like a shotgun or explosion where you explode when closing in on the other missile?”

Turns out the most reliable method was kinetic. A pencil hitting a pencil on the order of kilometers a second making contact way up in the atmosphere.

My limited understanding is this was nowhere near 100% reliable at the time, but there were successes. Some real crazy shit when you think about it.

This is the most bat shit insane take I’ve seen on this website.

Despite all the salary cap Shenanigans Vegas has pulled I think Lehner getting paid is a good thing.

 

I have compact appearance enabled. iOS latest version.

On All Communities feed the image preview is now the card style. When I go into individual communities the posts are compact.

Anyone else seeing the same?

 

I'm looking at potentially switching from Comcast to Frontier Fiber in the South Bay. Advertised service is 1gbps symmetrical.

I'm a little wary of Frontier as a provider. Can anyone recommend or share your experience of their fiber service?
