I really loved the first Sicario so I took myself to the matinee showing of Sicario: Day of the Soldado today. What a disappointment. It by no means sucks, but its not nearly as well written as the first movie, and the ending is downright horrible. If you've seen the trailers for this...

I would like some clarification on the legality of turning right on a Red Arrow. My interpretation of the relevant vehicle code seems to make turning red on the arrow illegal, but Ive had numerous conversations with people swearing that you can. Can any LEO's confirm one way or the other...

Has anyone seen this three part mini series centered around five German (one Jewish) friends during WW2? It takes place from 1941-45 and is Eastern Front centric. I thought it was really well done. Historically inaccurate at times, other times a bit unrealistic, but very well made altogether...

I'm curious about a situation regarding pedestrian right of way. If I'm walking northbound on the west side of the street and I come to a traffic light that is red: then the light changes. However, the pedestrian signal does not change to white but remains orange. Am I legally allowed to cross...

There is a car in my neighborhood that I've been seeing now for atleast a year. Florida license plates. How can I turn this vehicle in to san mateo pd?

Sorry if this is a repost. I'm generally quick to post bad cop stories, thought I should post a good one too. CHP talks a despondent man off the Golden Gate Bridge, 8years later, same man, now a married father with two kids, reunites with the officer who saved his life...

Hey all, I never posted in the thread, and the Sink isnt searchable, so can some kind soul please bump the old watch thread from a few years ago. It had alot of useful opinions in it from people that I respect. Thanks!

Hey All, A friend of mine, the traffic reporter on the morning show on KCRA TV in Sacramento just took and passed the MSF Basic Riders Course. She wants to interview riders with a minimum of atleast 1 year of riding. The questions will center around the riders experience(s) on the street...

In the last few years I've done a bit of hiking, the GF and I want to do a lot more of it this year. Mostly "local" trail hiking like El Corte de Madera nature Preserve, Big Basin, Big Sur etc. I've never owned a real pair of hiking boots before. REI has quite a collection. I'm not looking...

My Latin Jazz group has just released our second recording. We're making a few different videos for promotional purposes. Here's one that might be of interest to the Barf as it features my moto a bit. It was a fun shoot, maybe you'll like it... MLKCrD6Fflc

http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Russell-Means-Indian-activist-actor-dies-at-72-3970921.php Russell Means spent much of his youth in the Bay Area. I highly recommend his autobiography, "Where White Men Fear to Tread". The man lived quite a life.

I'm sorry if this is a topic that's been beaten to death in the past. I did a quick search and didnt find anything quite specific to my question. I've been riding a 600cc sport bike for a little over 6 years now. Next year I may be looking to purchase a new bike. I'm very happy with the R6...

So my bike was knocked over in the parking lot of the music store where I teach. The guy who knocked it over with his truck has admitted fault and has insurance. Luckily there was no damage at all to the side of the bike that landed on the ground. It seems that the frame slider did its just...

For those who are reading impaired...the article claims that the Major Labels (they still exist?!) will end production of CD's by the end of 2012, perferring digital downloads instead. Not in the article but a related comment: As for local musicians releasing CD's: I know that it was common...

My question is in relation to parallel parking into a designated parking spot on a street. Specifically, does the car reversing into the vacant parking spot have the legal right to use the entire lane to do so? For example: I was on Samsone Street in the Financial District tonite. I spotted a...

Went to see this gargantuan piece of crap tonite. I urge you, plead with you and beg you. Don't go see it. It is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. It makes Biker Boyz seem like a masterpiece of cinematic art. The movie is the paragon of pretension. It's childish, cliche ridden...

The music store that I teach at has between 50-100 wooden shipping pallets in their warehouse that they want to get rid of. Does anyone know of a company or warehouse that would want them? Some of them are in excellent condition, some are in poor condition. Most of them are in good condition...
