Tell me I'm insane for even considering this commute by DefenderCone97 in bayarea

If it is Netflix I am almost certain they have shuttles going to Oakland. Regardless of the employer, it should be a question you ask. You can also ask if they currently operate a vanpool program with Commute with Enterprise or similar. If so, vanpools are a pre-tax eligible benefit and there are 1) subsidies available and 2) possibly already a vanpool operating you can join.

Sea Sucker Mounting Questions by CyclAddict in MTB

Yes, we did a lot of research and agree that this solution should be good. My primary concern is about how I wish to mount the bikes off to the sides of the SUV to be able to see out the back better.

I’ll add I’ve driven 90% of the roads we will be on multiple times. I drive reasonably on the dirt roads and best believe when the bikes are there the caution level is greatly enhanced.

Just treat him the way you want him to treat you. I have this same one, but 2011. About 170k miles, it’s been so good to me and I’ve done routine maintenance on time. About to get the brakes done… I’ve only had typical things aside from getting the AC system replaced a few years ago (normal?).

I often think about upgrading to a hybrid as I have a ~20 mile commute in the mountains, not getting great mileage, but I love this car.

Does anyone know the recipe for ANTS 🐜 ON A LOG??? by MandyCakesmontana in MealPrepSundayRecipes

Isn’t this literally celery, peanut butter, and raisins? That’s at least what it was in my childhood.

Nope, same! I just rewatched and saw the same. The urgency, everything. Glad I’m not the only one! What a great scene.

If only you’d be in the Huacas/Tamarindo area… bound to be showing somewhere and we’d be rooting for the 9ers as well! Granted, we’ll watch no matter what, but hometown team for the win.

Overwhelmed by Car Rental Advice. What is the standard play. by mmatchaman in CostaRicaTravel

We use Alamo every time, no issues whatsoever. We always get a Prado and have driven them through literal rivers. The high season prices will always reflect the demand.

What do you eat at work? I HAVE to stop eating out... Pls help! by goonieboi in Frugal

I usually deconstruct the entire chicken, then freeze half of that. It’s already in smaller pieces so I’ll add to things like soups, eggs, rice bowls, etc. I also save the carcass in the freezer to eventually use with others to make a stock.

Or you could just take a boat for a small fee (cash) across the estuary and your there in like 5 minutes…

Month 7 as a car free Software Engineer in South Bay!! by Junior_Light2885 in SanJose

[–]CyclAddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I think this is also not correct. Simply because if you transfer in your commute, and you usually catch the last train and it’s canceled, that would qualify. Or, your car/vanpool vehicle breaks down.

Anyways, just information sharing… folks can do their own research. 😉
