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.”

You can use vote411.org to get more information about the races and candidates, but I didn’t find the candidates responses helpful in making choices.

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?

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.

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

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?

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.
