To save you some time, it’s Google’s Ad Center, which the article doesn’t even link to, as far as I can tell.

I’m not creeped out by any of the info I found in mine, but I am annoyed. “Yes, Google, I searched for [random thing] twice because I needed to know a little more information. That time has passed because I bought it or the event has passed or whatever. Reminding me about it just makes it weird.”

I’ve driven past the Justin Lane location a few times, but I’ve never visited. It seems to be a Christmas-themed bar and grill.

Sounds like OP is excited, but is it any good, or mostly gimmick?

If you haven’t gotten one in a bit

I wish guidance on when to get a booster shot was more prevalent. I remember them pushing the first 3 rounds at various intervals, but it wasn’t too difficult to follow if you were paying attention. Now it’s just “get your COVID shot”, but little-to-no mention of how often.

I know it’s complicated, depending on if you’ve been vaccinated before, and which version(s) you got. It seems that, assuming you’re an adult who has been vaccinated up to this point, it’s now just an annual shot like the flu, but the CDC page mentions “the updated shot” with a long list of notes about when various versions were updated. It would be nice if it was just “if your last vaccination was more than X months ago, it’s time for another”.

I guess, if you have questions, the general advice of “talk to your doctor” applies.

Every parking spot on the block is taken, and a handful of drivers are double-parked or stopped in front of businesses’ driveways. Others simply idle in the middle of the road.

It sounds like this is what happens when you have limited public transit and lax traffic enforcement.

“I’ve seen drivers cuss out the police. They cuss us out. They threaten to fight us,” Koral said. “We are verbally assaulted on the daily and threatened with physical violence on the daily. … It gets scary.”

Oh, and assholes. They make any situation more shitty.

I’m not actually sure what level of public transit San Francisco has. I know they have trolleys and trains, but I’m not sure what the service area/coverage is like. It sounds like the neighborhood in question isn’t covered well enough, though.

I’m not opposed to removing parking minimums, but it needs to be done in conjunction with other improvements to avoid situations like this. It’s wishful thinking to enact the former, hoping that this sort of pain will force political action to enact the latter.

How difficult was the transition? I assume you don’t have to convert your media. Is it basically just setting up Jellyfin and pointing to the existing data? Is it possible to use both services simultaneously from the same multimedia location (e.g. as a transitional period)?

Don’t take the abrasiveness of their post personally. They were quoting from the movie Office Space.

That language is somewhat misleading.

That seems to be a common complaint when it comes to Texas propositions.

“P.S. there’s a celebration tonight at 6PM at Upstairs at Caroline!”

Get there early! Parking is limited! /s

the possibilities of head-on collisions and left turn-related crashes are virtually eliminated

intended to slow drivers to speeds where crashes are far less severe.

I’ve definitely heard that they’re safer, but this just seems to indicate that the crashes aren’t as bad. Are there also fewer crashes?

Although some studies point to roundabouts causing higher numbers of minor crashes ― a point which WisDOT recognizes in its manual ― Qin said, in terms of injury severity, roundabouts are considerably safer.

Oh… ok. Not dying is a perk, but I’m sure everyone will be super stoked to be in more accidents that are right around the cost of their insurance deductible.

It often feels harder to drive defensively in a roundabout (especially multi-lane roundabouts) when I need to look over my left shoulder to make sure it’s clear to merge while also looking to my right to make sure that the guy in the lane next to me or the other guy getting on at the next entrance know to yield to me. In a traditional intersection, all “conflict points” that the article mentions are in front of you as you enter the intersection.

Believe it or not…

I much prefer Augustine of Hippo, the patron saint of brewers.

So it’s time to start picking names, right?

Austonio? San Austin? ASA?

Or are we just going to embrace Mega Braunfels?

Midas touch in reverse

Also known as “the Mierdas touch”.

Meanwhile, this article told (reminded?) me that we have a mental health hotline service.

These missed calls are happening at a time when most Americans still aren’t aware the 988 national suicide prevention and mental health hotline exists — and even as we hit the service’s one-year mark, few states have established long-term funding commitments to sustain it

Plans to use some of the nearly $1 billion in federal funding for a nationwide public service campaign haven’t materialized, partly due to early concerns that marketing 988 could overwhelm the lifeline past capacity.

Well, good thing they aren’t marketing it. We wouldn’t want 1/4 of the calls to go unanswered or anything…

“It’s taken 15 years for 911 to evolve to the kind of system that it is today. We’re just one year in.”

I mean, a 15 minute wait in a mental health crisis still doesn’t sound like an ideal goal, but I guess it’s better than being completely ignored.
