Luanti Mod Review: Composting

Subject: Driving in San Francisco
For: S.F. Bay Area Drivers
Short link: https://dansu.org/sfdrivingThis weekend, one of my attorneys asked me to drive him to the San Francisco Airport. This is the response that I sent him.
My San Francisco Story
I’ve driven people to the S.F. airport before. However, I don’t have the tracking device that’s required now to cross the Bay Bridge into the city. The State snail-mails me “violation notices”. I need to drive to Silicon Valley to pick up the notices. Then I need to navigate phone trees multiple times.
It’s a total PITA.
One highly autistic engineer friend, now disappeared, was angry that the State had started to call it “violation notices”. I agree that the term is irritating.
For former #Minetest #Luanti people, the friend was Bear and the time period was 2015 to 2020. He used the Chinese name Xiong Changnian online, but we met a few times IRL and he wasn’t Chinese.
On a lighter note, the last time that I drove to S.F. [to drop a couple off at the airport] the drive in was easy. However, I couldn’t get out of the city.
I was trapped in San Francisco.
Picture traffic backed up from the Bay Bridge to the city center. 1.5 miles of bumper to bumper all trying to leave at the same time.
I should have driven South on Highway 101 and taken the long way. Down to Highway 92 and then East across the bridge to Hayward.
Instead, I tried the Golden Gate Bridge. It would be a scenic drive, I told myself. The reality is that took me 6 hours of mundane driving to find a way back to the East Bay.
BART [the local train system] doesn’t work as an alternative. Parking at BART is full before the sun rises. I don’t know how payment works there regardless.
Have you noticed that, in San Francisco, the intersections are full of stopped cars? Including police cars. It isn’t clear what it’s legal to do, but you need to decide quickly and with the police parked right there and trapped themselves.
The best part is what happens when I drive up the San Francisco hills. People tailgate. On steep hills. WTH. If we have to stop for a red light, when I release the parking brake, there’s a chance that I’ll roll back and hit the tailgater behind me.
Tailgaters need to be in prison. They could make bumper stickers there. “Tailgate is Second Rate, Mate.”
Parking. Let’s talk about parking.
Bear, the lost associate who I mentioned above, lived in a cab in S.F. Note: He was a skilled electrical engineer, but there was no work and he was autistic besides.
Bear said, “There is parking. You just don’t know what a parking place looks like here.”
He meant, be creative. I suppose that a S.F. native knows how to do that and not be arrested.
In general, there is no parking. I parked once in S.F., legally, and was ticketed in minutes. There was no “No Parking” sign.
There was a website to fight tickets of this type. However, the city had threatened the website because tickets are a source of funding. So, the website had shut down.
San Francisco has important businesses, restaurants to try, and community spirit. I’d like to speak with more of the activists there.
However, I don’t plan to drive in the city again. Not in this or any other lifetime. If somebody drives me, that’s different.
For readers who remember Bear aka Xiong Changnian [not many but there are some] he was able to move from his cab into a van.
However, a drunk driver smashed into the van while Bear was sleeping.
The drunk driver was doing about 80 MPH. The van was totaled and, while Bear was in the hospital, his possessions, including, IIRC, his drivers license and birth certificate, disappeared. San Francisco didn’t require the tow company that took the wreckage of his van to account for the possessions.
Bear himself disappeared a few months after that. I tried to help, but he was pretty far gone.
I learned about how the homeless system works in San Francisco from Bear. I’m not impressed by that. It’s another story.
But on a humorous note I’ll mention that Bear once urged me to move into the space underground next to an office building and live there.
The idea was that I’d break into the office on an as-needed basis. Bear said that I’d be able to use the bathrooms and the power grid and might not be caught. It was better than what most cities offered to people without housing.
I declined to try this. My life as a transient was interesting enough as things stood.

- Em pensar que, um subgame, #mineclonia, consegue chegar, QUASE, ao nível do #minecraft em quesito de consumo de #RAM.
- O servidor em sí ta consumindo quase 4GB de ram aberto SEM NINGUÉM! -
#AtCraft #Brazucas

Essa semana teremos aumento de RAM na infra e, sim, está sendo pouco difícil esse custo, mas faço com muito carinho para mantermos que já temos e lançar nosso #mineclonia logo! -
