Unless you’re a Stern fan, I don’t know why anybody would pay for radio instead of one of the many streaming services where you can actually listen to whatever you want to on demand. It's a function of data rates. How do you pull the streaming content out of the sky? If you have an unlimited plan*,...

Also: Lombard Street is a Mecca for car break-ins. If you want to walk the hill, take an Uber/Lyft.

I'm not familiar with undoubtedly robust and evenhanded enforcement of this 1953 statute in North Carolina, but sub 5 reads: Any of the following are exempted from the provisions of [this mishigas]: ...[a]ny person or persons, as members or members elect of a society, order or organization, engaged ...

I've been seeing it for a week now that Se2 was in the works, but everyone kept citing to the same Deadspin story that just said Sanada-san has signed a new deal. The Variety reporting makes a lot more sense.

Is it like seatbelt laws when they first went into effect? You couldn't be pulled over just for not having your belt on, but if you got pulled over for (say) speeding they could tack on a fine for the belt.

Lots of SF has simply not recovered from the pandemic, many shuttered businesses. So bear that in mind. Japantown is near Hayes Valley and Civic Center. If we were younger and dogless and interested in apartment renting we probably would've wanted to live near there. So many excellent restaurants. P...

Fun story, I just learned a couple months ago that the original plan was to build the new stadium in the shadow of Candlestick, but the city was being difficult. So they took their stadium plan - including the physical design that was meant to offer curated views of downtown SF - and moved it to rec...

I took my date to Red Lobster on senior prom night. That is probably the last time I've been to Red Lobster. Mrs Tif likes Chili's for some reason, but we haven't been to one in probably 5 or 6 years. I used to work near both an Olive Garden and an Outback, so those were common 'workplace celebratio...

I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say Harrison Butker's beliefs are probably a lot closer to the average of the NFL than to society in general. Very Jesusy bunch, football people.

You seem to be forgetting that one trip to EPCOT means a trip to Mexico, Norway, China, Japan, Germany, Italy, Canada, Morocco, France, and the UK.
