Employment office on Howard Street. San Francisco, California

loc.gov/pictures/item/20177696…

The photograph depicts a series of handwritten chalkboard menus featuring various food items and prices. The boards appear weathered, with some writing erasing or fading over time. One board lists dishes such as "Ranch Cook," "Italian Chalk," and "Acker - Full String" along with their respective prices in cents, indicating an older establishment possibly from the early to mid-20th century. Another menu displays prices for meat items including a "$10 Steak," "Ham and Eggs Bacon on Baguette," and "$4.50 Roast Beef." The boards are held up by what seems to be chalkboard supports or frames, with handwritten notes indicating different types of meats such as beef stew, liver, onions, lamb curry, rice steak, large hambergers, corn beef cabbage, etc. The image is in black and white, suggesting it might have been taken around the time these menus were active. The background shows a window frame on which some Arabic script has been handwritten, adding an additional layer of cultural context to this scene from San Francisco's Employment office on Howard Street. Overall, the photograph captures a moment that feels both nostalgic and authentic in its portrayal of daily life at a simple eatery or employment-related establishment during early-to-mid 20th-century America.

Swift Pro-Tip: Tag your imports because you will not remember why you need them in a year or two when you're refactoring code:

```
import ImageIO // for CGImageSource
import os // for OSAllocatedUnfairLock
```

Makes cleanup for your future self so much easier.

Not So Sensitive Content Contemplation

I am not sure why. Some users go crazy with labeling everything as Sensitive Content. I guess they do not realize if you highlight everything on every page then essentially nothing is highlighted? Well, let them be them and I will be me. From here on out if it is labeled Sensitive Content I am ignoring that post. Not because it has sensitive content, rather because I am sure it does not. I will also start ignoring users that post everything they post as sensitive content.

I know it should not bother me. It does though so I will just make it go away.

An illustration shows a fair-skinned woman with pointed ears sitting at a bar, resting her chin on her hand. She has short, dark, wavy hair, and her blue eyes are looking up and to the left. She has a small stud earring in her ear. She is wearing a blue shirt with white leaf-like designs on the front, a dark jacket with a gold collar, and a gold trim. A wooden mug is next to her left hand, and a gold coin sits on the bar next to the mug. In the background, there are other people and wooden beams.

Thank you ! - It's annoying to say the least because we saw this coming. Trump threatened the EU, attacked NATO, backed far-right movements & cozied up to Putin; all in his first term. But leaders ignored it, hoping he wouldn’t win again. Now he’s back, even worse, & Europe is scrambling to catch up

Are Ukrainians ready for ceasefire and concessions? Here’s what the polls say

More Ukrainians are willing to negotiate for peace now than in the early stages of the conflict − but clear red lines remain for the public.

My name is Jürgen, and I translate old German folk tales into English - not just tales from the Brothers Grimm, but from the hundreds of other 19th century German folklorists out there.

To date, I have translated more than 700 tales. You can learn more about my project here (and you can get a free ebook version of my first book if you subscribe to my newsletter there):

I should point out that my interest is less in traditional "fairy tales" than in local local legends. The former tend to be more universal in their narratives, while the latter are deeply embedded in local geography, history, and culture.

I've even put most of these tales on an interactive map - either the town where they come from, or the actual place where the legend supposedly took place. You can see them for yourself on this interactive map!

The proper name of a place to buy a slice is “Pizza $1.50” no Italians, no other names required. It’s like a chain that’s not a chain. All the pizza shops are connected and oh! they are ancient: when I stop for lunch by the aqueduct eating fast food from a little street shop I do one better than all those boys who can’t stop thinking about The Fall of the Roman Empire: I am, I become for a moment a *roman*, urban, harried, sophisticated and hungry for street pizza.

The Southwest US equivalent is the *berto's. Mexican fast food, always named Alberto's, Roberto's, Filiberto's, etc. Sometimes two of the same name will be owned by the same owner, sometimes they're completely unrelated. Yet they always have the exact same menu.

It's much worse than that. He is saying he can deport him without any charges. In addition, he has support from members of Congress that he should be allowed to deport anyone without even charging them.

A peaceful January evening at Eagle Lake, CA. This area, known as "Heart Failure," once had more water and was a prime fishing spot. The name might come from the sharp turn on the icy road leading here—definitely not for the faint of heart!

With the fishing season closed and mild weather, only a thin layer of ice formed on the lake, beautifully reflecting the pastel sky as the sun dipped below the horizon. Moments like these make winter strolls unforgettable. ❄️🌅

#EagleLake #LassenCounty #WinterSunset #LandscapePhotography #NatureLover

I grabbed this image on a January evening stroll on the north shore of Eagle Lake, just a few miles from the community of Spalding. Back when there was more water here, it was a great fishing spot known as "Heart Failure." I've never been 100% sure where it gets its name, but I've always assumed it had something to do with the steep grade ending in a tight turn on the country road (Lassen County A1) leading to it, which can be fairly spooky when it ices up. Back then (2020), the fishing season was closed anyway, and the weather had been mild, so the lake only had a bit of ice on it—which I thought looked pretty nice under the pastel skies that appeared when our little star dipped below the horizon.
