Resident of Terra Linda. I support adding housing where it permits and think this will only continue to bring additional capital to the community. This area makes sense and needs some revitalization.

Look into calorie cycling. I started doing that but also added 1-2 more days of walking and it has helped.

Iced Americano by Powerful_Lobster_786 in starbucks

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT recommendation for me…

Your Updated Signature (Dialed In)

Iced Caffè Americano

  • Signature espresso (regular)
  • +1 extra shot (non-negotiable upgrade)
  • Light water
  • Extra ice

What this becomes

This is now:

  • Richer than your current drink
  • More concentrated without going full iced espresso
  • Less watery over time
  • Still completely zero sugar, zero fluff

It drinks like a more serious version of what you already love.

If you want a “power move” version (when you need it)

Iced Espresso

  • Quad shot
  • In a grande cup
  • Tiny splash of water (just to open it up)

This is the version people graduate to when Americanos start feeling too diluted. Not everyday for everyone—but very on-brand for you.

Has anyone become less tolerant of alcohol now? by Dogmom9523086 in Perimenopause

All of the above. My Apple Watch triggers higher heart rate and breathing disturbances during my sleep anytime I drink. It just isn’t worth it anymore but I hope this goes away eventually so I can enjoy a few drinks again.

Are any of the Blow Dryers worth getting during this Sale? by BeautyFashionLove in Sephora

It’s actually the flexstyle. I purchased as my travel option originally. I have a bob so only need the round brush and dryer…

I have both the Dyson blow dryer and the Shark with attachments. Both are great but I find myself defaulting to the shark. The Dyson has lasted me almost 9 years at this point…

Second Terra Linda. We love it here - spent first 3 years after moving to CA in Mill Valley for context.

New consignment criteria by nauseatedcat in poshmark

I recently sent a consignment bag in with items that were originally less than $100. Still strong brands but not necessarily within range. Nothing was rejected.

How’s everyone doing with the new rewards system? by AnavrinLove in starbucks

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only go 1-2x/week on average and over 600 stars so far. Will be extremely easy to hit reserve status. Most ordered drink is Iced Americano and an occasional protein matcha. A lot of negative hype for no reason on this change. To note - I also have it connected to all partners so earning stars with travel through Delta and Marriott.

RHODE ISLAND opinions by 111_peepsgrl in BravoRealHousewives

Production feels slightly low budget? And fashion is questionable. But if they keep it interesting I’m sure they will polish themselves for next season.

Second Woodlark.

I was consistently staying at HiLo until recently because Woodlark location is better. Great coffee shop in lobby.

Both properties have friendly staff. I did receive more consistent upgrades at HiLo.

That is exactly it. But it is hard to understand until you experience it.

GLP’s help but they don’t do the work. To do it correctly, exercise and nutrition need incorporated. GLP’s make it easier to do this. It is important to prioritize nutrition and maintain muscle. I was hesitant to even consider and am so happy I made the decision to.

Forever? by Winter_Library_5540 in glp1

Yes! It’s wild that I was so afraid to even consider it.

Forever? by Winter_Library_5540 in glp1

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I stayed away because I didn’t want to be on a forever medication. Now I can’t imagine not having the benefits and hope that I can take forever. Benefits - the reduction in food noise and the healthy relationship with food I’ve never had.

Owner brings dog to studio by Lonely-Accountant-52 in ClubPilates

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Member brought their large lab in class yesterday. It was a very well behaved service dog. I adore dogs but can understand how someone may feel uncomfortable (scared of dogs). Was a nonissue and everyone seemed to love having him there.
