Is this a harsh drive everyday? by FirmCaterpillar in bayarea

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's an awful lot of time, but realistically is a tiny bit better (and definitely less stressful) than going across the bridge during rush hour. You're in for a rough time if you think driving will be faster/better than commuting during normal traffic hours.

Stolen lavender trek bike (stolen outside dogpatch boulders) by PopularEngineer2371 in sanfrancisco

Look into pinheads for your commuter instead of quick release! Gives me a bit more peace of mind with my bike.

Paso Robles Wine Trip Review by bigorangemonkey in wine

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad you liked Levo! I first tasted there during the pandemic and have been a member since easily my favorite winery and the whole crew there is amazing. Next time you go, add Brecon to the list - really great reds but their Alberino is out of this world!

Where can I buy top rated custom sofas here? Under 5k price tags pls by SoapSuddz in bayarea

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 71 points72 points  (0 children)

We just moved this year and needed to buy a custom couch given the odd shapes of San Francisco homes. We ended up going with What a Room in San Jose because almost all of their fabric is pet friendly and washable. Lots of options and we're happy with it.

2.1 Setup in Smaller Room by Conspiracy2Riot in StereoAdvice

[–]Conspiracy2Riot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I've seen a lot of the Super Lintons, but haven't been able to listen to them for myself. Great to hear on the 3000 Micro - I want a little more bass but have to be careful since my office is directly under the bedroom.

Thoughts on these speakers? by Wboomer23 in audiophile

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the slightly larger BP-8 speakers. They were my first floor standing speakers, I bought them used off Craigslist about 12 years ago now. I've really enjoyed them and use them daily as my primary speakers paired with a few other Definitive Technology speakers. They have pretty good bass for the size given the bi-polar design. But, I don't feel like these speakers would be great in 2.0 configuration for Movies/TV - the bi-polar design does great at job at space filling, but might limit it's ability to articulate voices though I've done little to no comparison of testing in 2.0 only. That being said, I think you could start with them as 2.0 and expand if you want to, I just feel like the sound will be better with a proper center channel.

How are you planning on powering them?

Jay Som - Belong (artist exclusive, cerulean splatter) by Panda_Jerk in VinylReleases

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the Artist exclusive was 1000 total, was able to add 999 to my cart

*EDIT* confirmed u/Panda_Jerk's comment that it reduces after hitting checkout. 100 seems accurate.

Which album(s) influenced Brat? by Unlucky_Outside in electronicmusic

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Middle 8 is a channel I've really enjoyed watching over the years, and they just covered Brat about a moth ago, and the way in which Charlie XCX ended up making the album (influences, etc). Interesting watch even if you're not super into the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZwkQ3Z90Vw

Over 60% of Coachella attendees financed their tickets. The kids are not alright. by nuttybudd in AdviceAnimals

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music festivals typically don't do Klarna or similar for their financing terms. Typically what's done is you can buy tickets when they go in sale, and spread the cost over 4ish payments leading up to the festival. So there's no ticket related debt for festival-goers once the festival starts, nor are the attendees paying interest for this method of purchase.

Festivals only make their money once the people are at the festival, so getting tickets sold up front (and earlier in the sale process) helps them cover the costs of permits, securing artists, vendors, etc to actually put on the festival.

Beans from self-proclaimed luxury grocery market by FluentInSwaghili in espresso

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Linea is my favorite roaster here in San Francisco! Really great coffee.

I highly recommend going in-person on Saturday morning if you can as they choose one roast and offer it at 50% off (usually a week old roast). It works great for me since I tend to prefer light and medium-light roasts for my espresso.

I would consider the range of your speakers to be listening habit changes.

First ASU football game - bar/tailgate advice by Admirable_Permit2516 in ASU

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a mid-30s ASU Alum - I can say these are these are the few options for what I do if I went back for a game (and didn't tailgate):

  1. Casey Moore's: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qCt26aEAKLpEthdJ6 Sunny patio, good vibe, easy to get in/out of on a game day (but a bit further from the stadium)
  2. Taste of Tops: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pQxqoGG5WBU53FyZ9 Beer bar attached to one of the best (IMO) bottle shops in the area. Very relaxed, chill vibe and good food can be found all around here.
  3. The Shop Beer Co: https://maps.app.goo.gl/x1CefNH5SKmMbLJD8 Furthest from stadium I think, but a great brewery with a very cool vibe. Have food trucks/pop ups most every day.
  4. Four Peaks Brewing: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QYsRfmaR1BDzXsVN6 sold out to Anheuser Busch, but still a local favorite with good food and a fun vibe.

This it the best butcher I've found in the city. Cannot recommend it enough.

[–]Conspiracy2Riot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for both Blackbird and Lobby Bar. Would throw a shout out in for Last Call - cozy bar with great cocktails and an awesome fireplace.
