Deserted Picnic Areas @ Garin

Hi. I remember a few years ago, I’d go to Garin and the picnic areas would be packed with mostly Latinos people who would do BBQ / Carne asada, break Piñatas, have music or play ball games. Have a good time and laugh!

It struck me recently that all this is mostly gone. It’s empty and kinda sad. I took the picture on a Saturday. So now, without trying to be to politically, why is that?

* People no more live here (yet I see them in the streets, stores etc)
* People are scared
* Tradition is going down the drain and people don’t care
* ?

Am I the only one who noticed? Why is that? Regardless, this is very sad.

On the positive note, the Kite people are still there and going strong!!

Would you agree with this statement?

The statement is:

“Please note that this job involves full MT post-editing. This means you are expected to deliver a human-quality translation. The MT process should help you achieve a greater speed than usual.”

My take is that MT output is not of human-quality translation. At best, you have to rework it, or start from a blank slate… which actually slows down the process.

Bought a magnetic chess set. h1 is dark. It should be light.

Also, the instructions are ultra minimalist (but in 3 languages!)

The wheeled design Fastrak transponder is flawed!!

Compared to the previous design, which the position 1, 2 or 3 you could set even without looking at it, the “infinite” wheel of the new design make it impossible to set blindly or in the dark. 🤷‍♂️ oh and it makes it bulkier too! Way to go 👍 Thoughts?

Is my Davis Vantage Pro solar panel destroyed?

Hello I have a Davis Vantage Pro II weather station that I’ve been using [mostly] flawlessly for more than a decade.

For the last two years, I needed to replace the battery as the communication would get lost.

Looking at the shape of my solar panel, it looks like it is the culprit. So here are my questions:

* Is 2.35 Volts on the sun the normal output for this solar panel?

* Do I need to replace the solar panel? If yes where could I get a new one? (That doesn’t cost an arm and a leg)

* Am I using the proper battery?

Thank you for your help!!

5k sqft “underwater parcel” for sale in SF for $250: what’s the point?

Found on Zillow. I’m trying to figure out what would justify such a purchase:

* Hoping that it gets landfilled in the future so that you have useable land?

* Use it as is, as a [park free] mooring point for a sailboat?

* Moore a houseboat like in Sausalito?

* Sell it back as is in a few years for a 100% or more profit?

Am I missing something? Anyone interested?
Thanks for reading!

Can’t remove my tub drain linkage assembly

Hello. A few days ago the trip lever broke (it was probably out of use for years). Picture 2.

I opened the overflow plate and try to remove the tub drain linkage but it’s impossible to pull even with pliers (Picture 1).

What would be my next step? Thank you!
