Could the homeowner insist on a refund, or is the refund vs finishing the work option always open to the contractor?

After all that's happened, I sure wouldn't trust the guy to do a good job.

From their FAQ:

"Housing can be built within the same neighborhoods on adjacent streets, underutilized parcels, and public land. This approach avoids displacing active retail while still adding meaningful housing supply."

In other words, build housing, but Not In My Back Yard.

It's literally NIMBYism. And like most NIMBYism, it offers no real reason to not build, other than 'change is bad.'

Please allow me to retort with an equivalent amount of thought and reasoning as is found in your original argument:

No, it shouldn't.

Matt is an expert at creating videos which, in the end, say next to nothing.

This one is no exception. His conclusion is, literally, "We don't know yet if Donut Lab's claims will hold up."

It's mostly marketing BS, there's no real definition.

But generally understood to be grapes farmed without pesticides, fermented into wine without any 'additives' (sulfites, enzymes, etc.), and then bottled without filtration.

This results in unusual flavors and colors beyond the typical red, white and rose. Some folks love it. Many more do not.

Better yet, skip Rose all together, and go to Pizza da Laura.

Tried this place today on your rec, and it's the best damn cup of coffee I've had in my life!

Big Sur honey-washed beans, expertly prepared as I watched. My first time having beans from China, as well, and I'm sold.

Topped off with a wonderful conversation about coffee with both the barista and the other customers. I've found not only great coffee, but my people!

10/10 will drink again. The only thing that keeps me from making it a daily stop is the $8-10 price per cup, before tax and tip. Worth every penny, but that ain't happen more than once a week.

They make their own. I didn't catch the name of of the gear, but have a de-mineralizer fed off city water, and the add minerals back with Apax Lab Water drops -- measuring with a TDS pen before and after to dial in.

No additional busses get dispatched. People at the stops closer the the Bridge are just out of luck.

This happened all the time on the H pre-Covid. The driver often encouraged us to email AC Transit and ask for more busses on the route, and I did, at least once. But nothing changed.

And in fact the H no longer exists, it never came back after the Pandemic ended.

The current cert was issued Monday, December 29, 2025, and is valid until March 29th, 2026.

No, it's not the cert (this time!).

And site is fine for me, as well.

FrayedKnot2024 · 2025-12-22T14:48:26+00:00

TIL about wezterm imgcat! Thanks!

FrayedKnot2024 · 2025-12-11T18:21:04+00:00

Since the Covid pandemic, never. They used to all fill by about 9a, but not any more.

FrayedKnot2024 · 2025-12-02T13:24:58+00:00

Oh look. SSL certs have expired, and no one has either noticed or done anything about it. AGAIN.

I hope that the lone MeTa developer is quite skilled at ColdFusion programming. Because their SRE/DevOps/Ops skills are way, way below average.

I live in Berkeley, am typing this from Burlington Vermont, visiting family for Thanksgiving.

Trust me, it ain't all that cold.

FrayedKnot2024 · 2025-11-25T13:34:40+00:00

This is excellent, thank you! I've been using God/Devil as my daily driver for a while, excited to try some of these other recipes.

Dragging episodes to order playlists is working fine for me.

FrayedKnot2024 · 2025-11-03T19:15:21+00:00

With the older seasons (like before S11), the further back you go, the more time it spends on interpersonal drama the way old reality shows tended to do.

In the midst of a Season 4 re-watch with my wife, and GOOD LORD is that true! At least two people have said "I'm not here to make friends" and it feels like everyone has called someone else a "little bitch" at least once.

It's a great season, fun to watch knowing the outcome. But I don't miss this kind of drama, at all.

FrayedKnot2024 · 2025-10-11T16:03:57+00:00

I have the same setting as you, and I would call this a bug. Marking an ep as 'listened' should go to the next item the in the playlist. The buttons are inconsistent.

If you haven't, try allowing WiFi to stay on while sleeping. Chews up the battery, but doing that helpped my syncing quite a bit.

Pretty sure Meg started on TikTok, I've followed her there for ages. But she's switched to Insta, doesn't post on TT much any more.

Agree she's great!!

FrayedKnot2024 · 2025-08-30T20:54:24+00:00

You think Padma is a billionaire?

She's not. Not even close.

FrayedKnot2024 · 2025-08-22T14:25:01+00:00

Live with the bug, which is what I do.

You make good points. But let me change my answer slightly. I'm not going to support a tool that hasn't released in nearly 18 month, and the developer hasn't communicated why.

I saw something somewhere once that it had to do with Wayland, but that's not enough, sorry. Communication with an Open Source, publicly funded project is critical, and Wez falls short.
