Just along for the ride at this point
Can we please FF to the stiff competition phase. Remember when Lyft & Uber were at war for most users and rides across the city were $5-8 dollars?!
Autonomous ride-hailing, long dominated by Waymo, has become a more competitive industry in recent months, with Zoox opening an East Bay factory and more companies entering San Francisco.

I would just like to shout out some period time MVPs — heat pad & bidet. Don’t know what I’d do w/o either of these every month.

I have a metric fuckton of work to get through tomorrow. Tricking myself into getting up early by placing a food pick up order.

This is a fantastic read. And I simply must go on this tour. I’ve got questions for Greg!
Greg Bayol, a 77-year-old retiree that leads tours of San Francisco City Hall, knows a lot about this grand building — including what got the pigeons to stop pooping on the skylights.

Aren’t we all depressed and/or smoking at this point?!
Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID.
If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

Are there any home cams that can be trusted? Or do they all get hacked??

Got Luke’s blood results back. CBC & thyroid functions are good. No parasites in poop. Elevated creatinine is either dehydration at time of blood pull OR emerging kidney disease.
Next up, urinalysis…
He seemed to be a bit better this morning but not out of the woods yet.

Luke isn’t getting better. More like the same as yesterday not significantly worse. However I am a complete wreck now.

Luke woke me up hella early with a UTI flare up & we were able to make it to vet by 8:30am after having phone appt at 6:30am.
$600 to test for FeLV, FIV, full blood panel, urine, & stool. Gotta go back later for urine cause his bladder was empty.

Got a box from Purple Carrot since stocking a kitchen from scratch is a lot combined with my ex doing all cooking previously. Proud I made the meal in the time they said it would take. Don’t think I’ll continue cause there’s so much plastic trash.

I got the volcano. He got the juicer. Splitting our expensive items was the weirdest part about breaking up.

*Cries at noon every Tuesday* from here on out I guess…
The cost of repair or replacement has been estimated as high as $20 million, and cell phone alerts, while far from a perfect warning system, is the primary technology the city relies on.
Even after Texas floods, S.F. has no plans to fix its defunct tsunami warning sirens

My apartment hunt is now in the hands of the universe!! Should hear back Monday if I got a real nice spot. If I didn’t I’ve got a smaller spot in a better location on lock.

Paying nearly $60 for a rental application hurts so bad. Especially if the person in front of me is approved. Such a fun way to throw away money!!!!

Trump is so fucking petty I actually appreciate Lurie not speaking on it directly. All federal funding yanked, take over the presidio, send in national guard. It’s all on the table.
Mayor Daniel Lurie can do San Francisco no good by trash-talking Trump. At least not yet.
He's showing restraint. But will he be rewarded by voter -- or punished?

Mayor Lurie can’t help S.F. with Trump talk — yet. But he could help himself.
