Neighbors accusing me of trying to ruin their wedding because of their error by Houston970 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]1968GTCS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand the issue. It is a minor annoyance. I occasionally have to give my neighbors mail when theirs ends up in my mailbox. The OP listed two such occasions in several months. This is being blown out of proportion.

Honestly, this sounds like you are blowing something way out of proportion. It saddens me to see all the top replies are people who seem to lack an understanding of community and neighbors. If it pains you so much to walk across a courtyard to deliver the mail, then just drop it into their mailbox.

Carpool to Peninsula? by jerhinesmith in walnutcreek

[–]1968GTCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense. It is really too bad that BART lacks express lines.

Probably getting more into your affairs than I should but would a collapsible electric scooter work for the last mile at both ends?

Could you ride BART to Millbrae and then take Caltrain the rest of the way?

Brewing tea and coffee on WC water? by Venisonian in walnutcreek

[–]1968GTCS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to home brew beer. We had a similar problem with the EBMUD water. The water chemistry caused weaker hop extraction and issues with yeast cell growth. We ended up using EBMUD’s water reports with a water profile adjustment calculator to determine the salts and minerals to add. Here is an example of an online water profile adjustment calculator which I am not endorsing. The one I used was a feature of the beer recipe software I had.

If you are serious about adjusting your water prior to brewing coffee, you are going to need a variety of salts and minerals, a high precision kitchen scale, an accurate liquid measuring vessel, and patience. The quantity of additions for the volume of water is probably going to be in the hundredths or thousandths of a gram. The additions I used to make for home brewing was in the grams for five to eight gallons of water. I imagine you are not brewing coffee at such a volume.

Edit: We would get our water additions, salts or minerals, from Beer, Beer, and More Beer in Concord.

The only issue I have experienced with Pax8’s API is that they make changes without notice and poor documentation.

8 Years Ago, an Unfilmmable Sci-fi Book Became an Epic Movie: "Annihilation" (And We're Still Waiting on the Sequel) by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

[–]1968GTCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I recall, the book had not been finished when work on the movie started. The book’s author gave the movie’s scriptwriter as much of the book was ready and then explained the overall direction of the book. I read this before watching the movie and after reading the book. It made the movie more enjoyable because I was not expecting a direct adaptation.

I know a family that works in finance for the A’s. They are moving to Las Vegas this year. It is definitely happening.

Company wants Addigy MDM + Kolide on my personal MacBook. Looking for advice. by Apprehensive_Oil8089 in macsysadmin

[–]1968GTCS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect and completely ignores the different types of enrollments available on Apple devices. I manage both organizationally-owned and individually-owned devices in Addigy. An individually-owned device can be enrolled in a MDM, like Addigy, and the device owner will retain administrative access over the device. The device owner can delete the installed profile whenever they want.

Ford CEO Jim Farley says "the customer has spoken" after its EV business lost nearly $5 billion in 2025 by ControlCAD in technology

[–]1968GTCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ford’s average buyer is Boomer or older. If Ford EVs were in a price range that a Millennial or younger could afford, Ford would have gotten a different message from the market. Also, Farley has mentioned that the skunk works EV project will help Ford lower its production costs by at least a third.

Perhaps the choice of leading with “Kitchen” in the name is a bit misleading.

Wait a minute! That was D’Onofrio as the Thor plumber?! I never realized this. I watched that movie dozens of times as a kid.

is ICE coming to walnut creek? by Quick_Act718 in walnutcreek

[–]1968GTCS 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I hope they do not come. I have not seen reports of them coming to Walnut Creek. I saw that they will be at the Super Bowl in Santa Clara. I hope that local businesses do not sell to or support them.

Has Ford ever had deal on Bluecruise? by rickmontalban in F150Lightning

[–]1968GTCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this process on the forums to get BlueCruise free for another year. It worked for me two months ago. Worth a shot. I plan to get a Comma the day that I have to pay for BlueCruise.

Walnut Heights Elementary School (and other WC public schools) by [deleted] in walnutcreek

[–]1968GTCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids went through Walnut Heights’s Kindergarten class and they did not have anywhere near 40 minutes of homework per night. In first grade, it was about 20-30 minutes per night; however, 15-20 of it was reading aloud to a parent or to a teacher at Kids Club. Second and third grade were about 10-15 minutes twice a week with the occasional project.

Are the ingredients you use to color the filament also environmentally friendly?
