He was a repeat offender and gave her a bunch of attitude. Asshole. So that was one time I made sure to express my appreciation.</p>
Tilo Schumann<p>Sehen kann man das auch beim <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/Caltrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caltrain</span></a>, der von San Francisco nach San Jose durch das Silicon Valley unterwegs ist. Mit dem Lockdown ging es bergab und die ganzen letzten Jahren konnte der Zug nicht mehr an die alten Werte anknüpfen.<br>Offenbar scheint das Thema Home Office im Silicon Valley eine teifgreifende lang anhaltende Wirkung zu haben. Oder die Leute hatten ihr Auto schon vorher in der Garage stehen und haben sich das Bahnfahren abgewöhnt?</p>

14mission<p>Does anyone know if there is a convenient way to get a map of "all <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sfmuni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sfmuni</span></a> vehicles near me"?<br>Because sometimes you would just need to walk over a block to get on a parallel line, and that could be the best option.<br>Or if you get off <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CalTrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CalTrain</span></a> at 4th &amp; King, and want to get downtown, you have a lot of choices. And you might just want to get on whatever's coming first, but the stops are in different places.</p>
14mission<p>Here's why <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CalTrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CalTrain</span></a> was messed up this morning.
