@kingrat and we knew he was a racist at least as long as Tesla has had the Fremont plant, America's (if not the world's) most racist assembly line.

No you didn't

@bri_seven Reminds me of crossing the Czech border on a night train while wearing nail polish. The bulky border security guys came through our car, checking passports. They were about to leave when one of them caught sight of my nails. He grabbed my hand and looked at it, then said, in a heavy accent, "is very pretty." Then they took their machine guns and left.

@kingrat At least this is real money in bribes, not like the SF way, where bribes are: $2000 in cash, a riding mower for your youth sports team and a vacation in some third-tier Chinese city.

@lmorchard @mekkaokereke something like torrents, where servers that have rendered the preview card could raise their hands and say "we've got it"?

@kingrat ah. Too bad

@kingrat I have a number of intersections where daylighting would really make things safer, so I focus on those. Generally places where I have nearly been hit.

Is everyone else enjoying inundating 311 with AB413 parking enforcement requests? I am. Also, I still have my 311 juice. After I complained, they painted some of the curb red! If you want me to come to your neighborhood and use my flagged 311 account to get the city to do something, let me know.

@clanger9 @mewbassprr @khobochka Yes. I configure my nginx to send all AI bots to a bunch of stuff written in old/middle english - the canterbury tales, beowulf. Hopefully that helps make their language models worse.

@kingrat it's nearly as likely as winning.

@kingrat It's amazing how the city just chooses neighborhoods to be bad. In 2012, I lived by 13th, and the city told the homeless people to go there. It was like the city put a giant thumb on my neighborhood and it all went to shit (not that it was great before) Just once, I'd like to see the city decide that west portal needed to be the epicenter of misery.

This is excellent work, SF! It's street sweeping day, so this dude drives his car up onto the sidewalk among the kids waiting for the school bus, in front of the PCO, who will not write the much more lucrative ticket for parking on the sidewalk, because that's how this works.

@kingrat yes.

@jwz I don't see any reference to the OSS manual. Maybe I'm missing that somewhere? Every time I've seen this presented, it's been presented as something new, but it does look exactly like the OSS manual, so maybe I'm the only one who didn't get the joke? I keep seeing it presented without the OSS context, so it was confusing for me. I guess the joke was there all along and it just didn't land for me.

@jwz I'm not certain what your concern is. I saw that web site a while ago, the one that you link to, and I was struck by how much it mimics the tactics in the old 1950's/60's CIA sabotage manual that was popular to have in the 1980's. It says, "for the 21st century", which is funny, because I feel like it was written before, around 70 years ago, with only slight changes.

@jwz Which article? Yours? The web site? I've been there, and it reminds me wholesale of the old CIA slow-walk sabotage book that I linked to.

@jwz Isn't that just this? https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

@kingrat Wat Tyler?

Oh, remember when you were young and made a necklace from your wisdom teeth to give to your sweetheart?

@scott I live up on the rich part of Bernal hill, and we're super progressive too. No idea why.
