self-deprecation is a very british trait, and problems can arise when the british attempt to do so with a foreign culture

you just happened to leave queens, ny

the only good part of queens is the subway to Manhattan

i'd add bagels and pizza, but you can get that in any of the other boroughs (except staten island lol)

take BART to Caltrain or drive [driving will be faster]

the silicon valley assholes are legion since the trian line cuts through a bunch of really rich areas but atherton seems to be the leaders in the fight against BART conversion and HSR

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

at that point you should just fix them to the roadway to make them easier to drive. like maybe on rails. and then you could put the rails above or below the ground so they aren't in the way of carsbicycles.
