SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 23/09/2026GMaps does the same thing in Japan too, I think they just err on the side of caution because if their data on transfer policy were to be wrong somehow it could result in someone paying more than listed and then they get mad at Google 011
Reposted by SFAmtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 16/09/2026many states, including California, also have an option to drop your ballot off directly at a elections office dropbox or election center and avoid USPS on the way back all together, which I'd recommend if possible. 18638166

SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 26/08/2026It was not expunged, it was vacated and sent back to the district court for further review on the basis of the government moving to dismiss. There is as of yet nothing preventing definitively preventing it from being reinstated later www.scotusblog.com/2026/04/cour...npr.orgSupreme Court clears the way for Bannon contempt case to be dismissedBannon spent four months in prison after defying a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack. 030
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 26/08/2026No, that was Bannon trying to get it dismissed. This is the DOJ trying to get it dismissed. The document, which is linked, was filed this year. 120
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 25/08/2026LA County seems to be fully diving in on AI graphics lately. But this new one gets the bonus of using Metro's branding (which as a separate entity may not be the County's right to use) without adhering to any semblance of branding guidelines. bsky.app/profile/henr... 020

SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 10/08/2026actually farther down i found a non-resident library card fee of $75 (which leaves out Ventura here lol) 020
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 10/08/2026My first thought was to check Beverly Hills, the website says officially only residents of LA, Orange, and Ventura counties can get a free card. No idea what would happen in practice if you tried as a Riverside or San Francisco county resident. www.beverlyhills.org/358/Using-th...beverlyhills.orgUsing the Library | Beverly Hills, CAFind information about using the library. 110
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It's still fucking terrible, 4 lines going through the same country en route to their destination is horrible graphic design. 120
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 22/07/2026There is a big difference between the traditional DCs that were built methodically for hosting, with normal power grid connections, and this new surge being built for AI with noisy on site power generation because the grid has no capacity to add these enormous GPU racks all at once 051
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 14/07/2026It should be done by federal regulatory agencies, but well, *gestures wildly at everything since 2025*, so people are taking effective action in the only place they can. I think a number of people at these would prefer to take action in other ways but cannot. 050
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 10/07/2026On one hand, it was easier in some ways because it didn't need to be built above and around people going to and from the busiest origin/dest. airport in the US. On the other hand, jesus christ what the hell LAX 000
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Ideally national regulation would be put on AI to limit the core issues of AI slop but that will not happen with this admin and I doubt a Dem admin either, so in the meantime communities have to save themselves from the immediate, local consequences of the slop. 000
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 10/06/2026You can't say it's not a slop machine anymore when the slop is visible everywhere every day, and it is choking out the benefits, and worsening our climate catastrophe. Drug discovery etc. while legitimately worth it is being held up by the AI corps as a shield to hide behind to save the slop piles. 210
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I will posit that the AI data center revolts are more akin to the freeway revolts than the suburban NIMBYs opposing apartments. Using precious resources to prop up the slop machine and make life worse in service of the wealthy. We don't call urbanists NIMBYs for opposing a new car sewer! 120
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 26/05/2026There are too many aggressive trolls whose minds will never be changed on the open internet to spend the time to conquer every single one with Facts and Logic™, especially if you're a public figure. You either exhaust yourself trying, or learn to block and move on like this. 010
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Not like the feds are dying to send us money right now anyway. Hopefully someone in the chain can upend the typical internal process around that cause I don't expect they'd set up here. 000

SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 04/04/2026The difference in 2026 is those are at least serving a useful purpose and not just being another building full of servers generating incorrect Grok posts while raising the cost of electricity in the region. 000
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 17/03/2026I've had my train stopped for fare checks multiple times in the last year, including once when the train was 10 minutes late with another train right behind and I was pissed for the additional hold up. Usually just checking for possession of a TAP card but occasionally with scans of them. 020

SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Sure but you'd be surprised how many teenagers take the E Line to the high school right next to a station, trains get pretty packed at peak. But ultimately Eglington should have just been proper grade separated metro trains for capacity/speed anyway, which would render this issue null 000
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 08/02/2026FWIW LA Metro's Kinki Sharyo's are much the same in having a flat topped coupler with only the platform bollards. Gap is a bit narrower but would still be enough for someone to stand in, but I've never heard of this happening. 100

SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Especially considering this Jacobs firm is not the primary contractor for segment 1, I think their full project knowledge is limited. 010
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Now conversely to what I stated in my other reply, I don't think this is good evidence because it's speaking on street restoration items, which Metro noted in August's D line community meeting would continue into 2026 after planned substantial completion & service start dates 120
SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Given the CPUC requirement of 8 weeks of prerevenue service pattern testing, I'd expect them to announce right about now at the latest testing starting next month, if it were opening this year. Considering that hasn't happened... 010

SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Extending the LAX mover would clearly be superior, but as usual for America, transit governance issues make that basically impossible (not to mention its dead ending into a giant parking garage) 100

SFA @sfa64.bsky.social · 05/05/2025That there is no price difference offered for parking a small car and a big ass SUV in the city is a big part of it, a Miata owner pays exactly the same to garage park in a space that is far too big for it as a Tahoe owner barely squeezing in. I'll just save $ and take transit/uber instead. 020
