WCSD requires renters who live in the district to provide a lease that has a student's name on it to verify that they live here.

I understand they need to verify that students live here but this seems like kind of a ridiculous hurdle to me to attend public school, a right that is guaranteed by the state.

By contrast, homeowners can submit a property tax bill to verify residency - property which might be held in a trust and very rarely would include a student's name on it. I don't really understand the double standard.

On Friday Elon Musk's net worth was reported at $792 billion. On Monday, Tesla and SpaceX stock both dropped 3%. This should have dropped his net worth to around $766 billion. However, Bloomberg still reported Musk's net worth was $792 billion "as of July 20, 2026, 11:02 PM UTC".

Kalshi has a market that resolves based on the Bloomberg value: https://kalshi.com/markets/kxmusknw/elon-musk-net-worth-on-date/kxmusknw-26jul31

This simply says "Resolves Yes if Elon Musk's net worth is above $700 billion in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index update for Jul 31, 2026. Outcome verified from Bloomberg Billionaires Index."

This presents obvious problems if Bloomberg is passing off stale data as its "index update" for a day.

I don't expect Kalshi Support AI to do anything about this so bet at your own peril.

I think I saw them setting up in the parking lot? Will we be able to see them from our car?

I rode a bike from my house to BART, from BART to pick up my kid, and then home. I was on the road for... thirty minutes? and I spotted at least ten different people looking at their phone while driving a moving car.

It's incredibly dangerous to do this, if not to you to the people outside of your car and in other cars. Everyone thinks they are being sneaky, you are not sneaky, you are incredibly easy to spot.

To the teenager on Rudgear, the three consecutive people driving south on Broadway at Cypress, the WCPD officer stopped at the light - cut it out! If you need to text hail a taxi or pull over.

The #5 bus has a 30 minute long route, and builds in a 15 minute layover at BART - the bus spends 15 out of every 45 minutes during the day waiting at the BART station.

They do this because County Connection hoped to run battery electric buses on the route, and the battery buses need to sit on a charging pad at the station to recharge. Unfortunately the battery electric buses are very unreliable and currently only 2 out of 8 of them are in service.

Since June 2024 County Connection has only used diesel buses on the #5 route. These don't need to spend any time recharging at the station - they're diesel! But they still have the 15 minute long wait time built in at BART. That's 33% of service time spent sitting at the station, for no reason at all.

It should be easily possible to increase frequency to every 40 minutes (2 extra buses a day, and the multiple-of-10 schedule would line up with BART) or, with maybe a bit of a tweak to the route and some planned infrastructure investments, every 30 minutes. They could also buy battery buses that don't need to recharge throughout the day.

The agency really needs to hear from riders that this is important though because right now they don't think it's a priority to run the bus more often.

Please DM or reach out to planning@cccta.org and ask them why they are building in a 15 minute break when they haven't run a battery bus on the #5 route for two straight years.

EBMUD is our local water utility. They have a number of "valve covers" - round metal panels in the road, maybe a foot in diameter - around town that are frequently out of line with the road surface - it's not uncommon for them to be an inch or two below the level of the road: https://www.ebmud.com/customers/pipeline/2019/01/seen-and-unseen

This is really annoying for people riding bikes because these have the potential to flip a bike.

My hope is if we can find and report a lot of them we can make it worth EBMUD's time to assign a crew to fix all of them (where they might not take the time to fix one).

Can you help report them by commenting in the thread?

Three I am aware of that are particularly notable:

37.891489267281905, -122.03978461339844

37.88173764176561, -122.03652717968346

Where else? Let's get these fixed!

Someone submitted a post yesterday that was clearly written by AI and contained several obvious factual inaccuracies. In the replies the OP then replied to the wrong comment several times suggesting they were copy/pasting responses in.

I don’t have a problem with posts that have different points of view than mine or even posts written by AI. I do have a problem with people misleading anyone who reads this site by saying things that aren’t true, and putting little effort into what you post. The other thing about slop is it’s really easy to generate.

If you don’t want this forum to get overrun by low quality slop posts I suggest you find the post submitted yesterday and report the content as well as the person who created it.
