I believe some TIC agreements are structured as HOAs, which is perfectly reasonable


but I'm pretty sure that's not what you're referring to here.

Plenty in the US, too


I'm in San Francisco and there are tons of mixed use buildings, in both "sharp" and well-off neighborhoods alike.

It's not all bad


remote work policy is now a major topic. You'd be laughed out of any number of job interviews for asking about remote work policy, whereas now it's a completely fair question.

Having a CC doesn't mean you have debt...

"Why the HELL should I have to press 2 for English?"

The bank doesn't own the house, they just have a significant lien against it. Maybe a potato potato situation (how are you supposed to spell that phrase 🤔), but it is an important distinction.

Landlords can get pissed if you paint the walls/change appliances/remodel/etc., but so long as the property is properly insured (and you make your loan payments on time) the bank probably isn't going to bother you.

Landlords can


and do


place restrictions on quiet hours, guest policy, who is allowed to live there, etc. Owning is definitely different.

Some cities offer guides or services for native plants! https://sfpublicworks.org/services/plant-lists-and-palettes

It's even divided across the city's different climate zones (San Francisco is small, but can have huge differences in weather from one side to the other).

I recall a SoCal city even offering free consultation for native gardens.

With coherent detection I think the separation between eyes would allow for this.

Except that this problem doesn't specify distance between horseman, so I think it's a bit bogus


no need to resolve an individual person to be able to tell that they're there. And for hair color, if you make assumptions about the clothes being worn, you could perhaps infer color of hair, even if the hair isn't resolvable (a person being a "single pixel" would have a different hue depending).

Dipoles are, effectively, not


so if you have a charged bit and another opposite charged bit, while an inverse relationship might exist between either one, the net effect is that it drops off much faster.

The thing with gravity is it tends to go one way, unlike, say, charge.

We're in the market for a kid carrying ebike, and while REI makes the most financial sense, I think we'll be paying a visit to our LBS.

As an aside, I tend to prefer Sports Basement. Have had better luck with their bike department, too. No idea if they're better from a corporate standpoint though.

 

People often complain about San Francisco's public transit


and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!

They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet


same route, same fare.

 

Noticed a few days ago that Sutro Tower's red blinking lights are now white. Just asked them on their website form, but wondered if anyone else knows the story with this.

Personally, I miss the red ones!
