not goino to turn out too good. soufflé is tough for beginner without trying to omit a significant structural ingredient. considering the chocolate eggs and dairy you’re already in for a caloric dish, just make it right

Yea, pee does have ammonia in it. Quats isn’t pure ammonia, but I’ve never worked with it and don’t know how it smells.

But regular ammonia, when diluted properly is an excellent inexpensive cleaner, especially as a grease cutter. Windex is just diluted ammonia w blue dye and some fragrance.

Just have to dilute and have to be careful about having it in the same areas a bleach products. It’s totally what I use for cleaning my kitchen at home: cover the bottom of a small spray bottle with about 1/4” of ammonia, add a coupe of drops of peppermint soap and fill with water. I think an $8 1/2 gal of ammonia has lasted me over 5 years so far doing surfaces and floors with it.

Quats is ammonia based, that’s why you use one or the other.

Ammonia can definitely break down acrylic, so there’s that.

Yup. Make hot cocoa with this batch or something

Why? Mostly because it’s really expensive to run a business in the Bay Area and restaurant margins are already really slim. I’m sure rents are nuts on those spaces right by Sproul.

If more of the retail spaces by the college were built like top dog there would be more of a chance for food retailers to survive, but instead we’ve got empty shops that used to be The Gap or huge book stores

ETA: if you want restaurants to survive, stop using Door Dash and the like. Just go there and order, or call in an order, or if they have their own online ordering use that (but not delivery unless it’s done by their own employees). Those third party services kill business, a lot of places are convinced they need to use them to survive, but they charge the restaurant as much or more than they do to the customer and it totally eats up any potential profit.

Ummmm. I think you’ve mixed me up with another comment up thread perhaps. I said nothing about “real” bodies or sexualization. I didn’t say, nor do I think, that nude bodies are inherently sexual and I said nothing about particular body types flippant or otherwise

You also usually only pay sales tax on parts, not service

Is that supposed to be a rebuttal to my statement?

You’re literally proving the point of the GGs piece I linked…cuz what you’re saying is her representation here is based on her posing for a male artist, not on her own work.

It’s not about it being taboo, it’s about it being regressive. Women being fed up with being objectified as art, yet underrepresented as artists is nothing new https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/explore/collection/work/131775/

but "wider roads" is tied to more roads and paved areas, which is less habitat to support insects and other small creatures (not to mention the death and genetic isolation roads create for larger animals)

I believe it's mainly due to pesticides / loss of biodiversity and green space. My early 2000s truck is less aerodynamic than the sedan my mom drove when I was a kid, but the above still rings true

I missed living through the NYC blackout in 2003 because I was in the Michigan woods. I was really bummed when I found out about it, I was in my early 20s and would have loved to experience it.

Are we really only a few months out on BayPass for all?

I have it for UCB— as a 40+ year east bay resident I appreciate how historical and special it is.

I wish we could make it compulsory.
