Yes, I have. On camera they both look so similar that the only way to discern the difference between Culver City and the Mission district is the background or having lived in those areas. This is how movie planning goes - what looks similar enough to pass as the area. It’s why Atlanta was used for New York in The Matrix (but you don’t seem to notice) with street names from Sydney (which you also don’t notice).
LA and SF have the same architecture from the early 1900s. Both have big parks, dense downtowns, and multi-storey sprawl for housing.
Have you been to these places and actually looked around?

Didn’t expect AI. Thought Dave was on a shadow list of banned people and places.
- Comment on Miyamoto: Games based on developers’ personal interests resonate around the world, not those aiming for global appeal | VGC 1 day ago:
Miyamoto-san, the games that are released now are based on the personal interests of the publisher. "Gimme money!"is a game that deeply resonates with their desire.
- Comment on Can anyone confirm? 1 day ago:
Dallas and Miami for sure. SF is basically the same as LA with Golden Gate. But Boston, Seattle, (New) Detroit, and maybe Omaha/Wichita if there’s tornado chasers or country/city clashes.
- Comment on Why do older files tend to have file extensions in all caps? 1 day ago:
I wonder if that’s why computers started using longer words and phrases for programs. The grumpy old man that lives in my in head gets ranting during these moments.
“Back in my day all we had were short names like startup, system, and exit. Now it’s all control panel, system settings, hardware managers. And apps! They’re called them executables!”

- Comment on The pinnacle of Commonwealth culture. The trifecta of kids entertainment. 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇬🇧 5 days ago:
Paw patrol became repetitive and reductive after Everest was introduced. It’s harmless and it’s biggest flaw is that the cop dog is given defacto leadership and yet has no actual talent that another dog couldn’t do better (or whose talents would include the tools Chase uses). Zuma should have the net, Marshall should have cones, and Sky should be the leader. Chase is useless and the reason the show became stuck on repeat.
Peppa Pig is under represented as trash because it’s a show that ignore the opportunity to be helpful and chooses to be mindless entertainment, like a class clown. Except the jokes don’t land. I have never heard a child laugh at Peppa Pig, only stare at it with gawped fascination.
Bluey is the rare show that defines an entire generation and becomes the seed of a cycle where those kids grow up and show it to their kids. It is one of the best TV shows in the last 10 years, regardless of genre.

Hakeem Jeffries is the worst kind of person. Slimy, self-serving misanthrope who actively works against fair laws. May apoplexy take him.

That and the peel away paint on the getaway car to hide it in the parking garage. But yeah, lower tiered mid-movie at best.
- Comment on Meta in Talks to Lease Computing Power to Anthropic in Potential $10 Billion Deal 6 days ago:
Data centers are digital real estate that have little value unless there is hype for those spaces - which is why AI and data centers are being pushed so much. Data centers, the actual money maker, are the reason AI is being so aggressively pushed on us. The data center owners want to create high enough demand that digital “land” (compute) is leased at a high enough rent/return to offset the enormous cost of building a data center.

We saw, it said Russia and China were working to get him elected to disrupt America and it failed to take hold in 2020 but worked in 2024. We are now stuck with a buffoon so toxic other countries use him as a weapon.

It would be an earthy pear/apple flavor with a stronger finish that would be softened by the basil. I’m willing to bet an LGBTQ sausage would actually be good.
