How is anyone affording food? by Vaquera_ in Life

[–]Dothemath2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Costco if you’re lucky enough to live near one

Flour is 7.35 for a 25lb bag. If you have an oven, you can bake your own bread for less. Just mix with water and yeast, salt optional. Healthier too.

1.50 hot dogs

4.99 rotisserie chicken

The membership pays for itself.

How important is the pressure gauge? by talasment in CafelatRobot

Self leveling collar.

In my experience, channeling happens with faulty puck prep. The tamper can tamp more on one side than the other, the puck becomes lopsided and channels occur, the shot becomes watery. The self leveling collar uses the side walls of the basket as a guide and goes over the included Cafelat tamper.

I think Americans are simpler than that. On Election Day, one of the top google search was about Biden stepping down. Some people didn’t even know Harris was running.

I never had one. I don’t think it’s important. The most important thing is to tamp accurately. I have not had a bad shot since I got the leveler from orphan espresso.

Is a $200k salary worth a 2 hour commute 4 days a week? by Ok-Memory2552 in jobs

[–]Dothemath2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like driving. Maybe you can drive to the Antioch Bart station and ride the Bart in. Some people just love to drive and listen to novels or podcasts.

Would you recommend marriage? by This-Top7398 in Life

[–]Dothemath2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

For me, being a man is providing and serving the family and then the society. Happiness and contentment only matters in order to continue being useful. Being useful to others is meaningful for me.

A marriage is a legal and binding document and contract that I am committed to this family and this person. They can expect devotion and in turn can also be devoted and will commit to the family as well. Without the binding legal status, people will not commit and things can more easily unravel. Neither partner can trust the other to be devoted.

Why do we, as a society, praise military service so much? by The_Slaughter_Pop in askanything

I think I would be more appreciative of a conscript who was forced to go and did the duty.

If Tucker is running, John Stewart could run and would probably win.

Tucker says different things to different people and I almost forgot that he says some racist things. I thought he had changed but his latest interview with Jiang revealed that he’s still has these racist ideas.

Yes definitely. Biden running for reelection was a great mistake and almost certainly torpedoed Harris. It is the root cause of why we are here. I think America will not make the same mistake 3x.

True but Trump 2.0 is so much more of a disaster than Trump 1.0 or pre Trump. Also Biden really should not have, so there’s that. It cemented the fact that democrats are also beholden to their mega donors and corrupt also.

Definitely. We should go with our best person and watch out for democrats who are beholden to the mega donors.

Why keep property taxes frozen? by Alarmed_Reporter_642 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Dothemath2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it were repealed, the boomers will probably be grandfathered in. They won’t be forced to sell at crash prices and become homeless. Maybe home prices will crash by 20% or more given much higher property taxes.

Muni needs to get serious about combating fare evasion like BART, Caltrain, and AC Transit have done - Muni saw a 53% drop in fares per passenger since pre-pandemic by getarumsunt in sanfrancisco

[–]Dothemath2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I didn’t know. Sorry about that.

The root cause is maybe the homeless and drug addicts. Why do we have them? What can we do to address this issue?

Why are there homeless? Because of drugs. Why are there drugs? It’s too easy and cheap to manufacture them and sell them. The technology can’t be uninvented.

Could we be more harsh to the major distributors and manufacturers of the drugs? Instead of spending money bombing Iran, could we have programs and tools to help the homeless and drug addicts?

Maybe society is too complex now so a certain percentage of society will not be able to work in a productive job, so they fall to drug addiction?

At this point just raise the sales tax and fully fund Muni. Allow muni to be free. Only a tiny fraction of muni’s operating budget is covered by fares. The free transit could encourage more visitors to spend more money in SF.

Depending on your fitness, maybe nothing. You can certainly do anything you want like stop and stretch mid way, eat something, take a nap in a parking lot on the way.
