San Francisco

I have old soil in pots that I don't want anymore. It's full of roots and weeds, and not of any use to me anymore. How should I dispose of this soil? edit sorry for the weird photo size. i will do better next time.

It took years to get a simple curb cut done on a bike route between SF State and Daly City BART. It just shouldn't be this hard.

Cars haven’t been allowed on the corridor since 2020, but now some are saying that the car-free experiment should end.

Everyone should have received their ballots by now. Or you can vote early at City Hall, or at your polling place on Election day.

You are eligible to vote if you are a US citizen living in CA, 18 years or older, registered where you currently live, not currently serving a state or federal prison term for a felony conviction, and not currently found mentally incompetent to vote by a court.

I like using a black ball point pen to fill out my ballot, because it doesn't bleed through the paper like a marker, and it's easier to read than pencil. Fill in the ballot bubbles fully and avoid making check marks, or Xs as votes. You can vote anyway you want, and it will be counted because it's your right. But abnormalities can slow down the counting process.

In San Francisco, if you make a mistake on your ballot, you can put an X on the mistake vote, or write "mistake" with an arrow to correct your ballot. Some other counties do not offer this courtesy. You can also go vote at your polling place, or at city hall instead of using your vote by mail ballot.

Writing in things like "Ceasefire now" or "Uncommitted" are meaningful messages that I respect, but CA only counts certified official candidates and certified write-in candidates. It's more impactful to email your representatives or the president the same message. It's your right to vote, and you can vote however you see fit.

Please vote! There is stuff on the ballot besides the presidential primaries, and primary elections are too often ignored.

I am a stranger on the internet, and do not speak for any organization or in an official capacity. I am a fallible human and you should verify anything stated here for yourself and not take it as fact.

‘Please don’t light anything on fire’: San Francisco officials urge calm after Super Bowl

Streets and freeway ramps will be shut down to traffic, and Muni buses will be rerouted around the city as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Super Bowl Sunday.

I've been using my space heater, concerned about the bill coming. my throat is scratchy from using the heater. I was thinking about putting a second pair of socks on to help.

I've been hearing about this atmospheric river for days. Yesterday there was some rain, including a bit of heavy rain, but I wouldn't call it an atmospheric river! Did it hit a different part of the bay area and miss us? Every time I've walked outside today and yesterday, I am shouting in my head, "WHERE'S THE RIVER?!"

I don't like sports. No fireworks or helicopters please. I am ready to sleep but this helicopter isn't going away.

Anyone else sitting in the dark?
