I don't believe the people who<br>> suggested this have been outside at night in San Francisco to feel how cold<br>> it can get, nor did they seem to have ruled out the fact that I likely<br>> don't have the resources to get the proper gear needed to keep me warm<br>> through these cold nights (I don't). On top of all that they failed to look<br>> at a San Francisco ordinance known as sit/lie. Is it wise to suggest I<br>> break a city *law* that could land me a hefty fine I most definitely can't<br>> afford, over a hacker space *rule* that might get me woken up and/or have a<br>> picture taken of me by a trollish toad. I think I'll take the latter, for<br>>
reasons stated here and prior. While Noisebridge certainly isn't a place I<br>> ever plan to sleep at, it has happened in the past, occasionally<br>> from accidentally nodding off while working on a project and occasionally<br>> in such emergency situations like the other night.<br><br>I can't find a link to official San Francisco documentation about this, but<br>the poorly enforced Sit/Lie law is only in effect from 7am to 11pm.<br><br>NB only has a few rules:<br><br>- Be excellent to each other.<br>- Don't show up in the space with one hand in a duffel bag and threaten to kill everyone.<br>- Don't have TB.<br>- Don't sleep in 2169 Mission St, San Francisco CA<br>- Don't publically inform everyone you have no interest in technology(a.k.a 'hacking') <br> while you hang out at a hackerspace 24 hours a day for the last 12 months.<br><br>Follow these simple rules and you'll succeed.<br></div></div></body></html>
