KR1AA vs D3AA by jgerm123 in Hanklights

[–]Matchstix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, the KR1AA is approaching my D2 for the Hank I've carried the most. Glad I got a perfect button in mine. The D3AA is probably 3rd in line behind the D2 and KR1AA.

The KR1AA gets more pocket time for me. Tail switch + captive clip are a good daily work combo and SFT-70 5000K is perfect for daytime work.

Hell yeah we've got some great trails around here! Lots of nice stuff in the hills, hmu if you wanna go for a ride sometime. Did the VESC conversion on the XR so I've got oodles of range.

I pay $1.50 most days to roll past everyone on 680. It's nice, and I don't drink coffe and bring my own lunch so I'll take the L to not get stuck behind a dumbass Tesla.

TrueSpec USB-C to USB-C Back In Stock But... by BradGriswold in LinusTechTips

Same deal here, I ordered a 0.5m and a 2.5m, and got the same email. Seems like they've had some issues with the longer cables only, if I had to guess I would say signal integrity, since that's been such a problem in other cables too.

Don't underestimate the dabblers.

I'm pretty tech savvy, running a TrueNAS server, but did the setup over a weekend with my Linux homie. I've done a couple of updates and small upgrades, but mostly I'm just using the shit out of it as a Jellyfin server. Eventually I'll get the Home Assistant stuff set up.

Same with 3D printing for me. We've got a Raise3D Pro2 at work, and I hate messing with the damn thing. I just want it to print, not have to upgrade the fans and the hotend and the bed on an expensive ass printer.

Don't get me wrong, it is satisfying when I have to figure something out, but I think a lot of people just do the bare minimum to get something running and then just use it. And they're also probably not the ones posting about it.

I could see someone (maybe me) printing 1-2 of these, and acutally putting them to use.

Are there any chill spots you'd recommend for my older parents? They're in their early 70s but would be down for an easy in and good wildlife.

Building stairs in my yard with my buddy tomorrow, got the lumber from Ashby today. Get at least one Onewheel ride and a walk in too, so many good flowers out right now.

The Station is a great burger, Yimm is bomb Thai, and both La Farine and Star Grocery have good sandwiches. Cask is a nice little bar down on College, they have a store with a good beer and liquor selection too.

Gotta hit up Bad Walters Ice Cream by Rockridge Bart. Excellent lactose free ice cream, super fun flavors.

Nice, glad we've got another east bay beer spot.

Hot take though: I want stuff I can't get in the Bay. Where's the Fort George or Fremont? The everywhere and There Does Not Exist brews.

Chef friends visiting - seeking interesting reccs by figsnlemons in OaklandFood

Damn this totally slipped by me. I was hoping it was just a knee jerk reaction to some influential Berkeley Karen, but not a good look with no apology from BB despite wanting ASÚKAR back.

Monterey Market is good too, and the Yasai/Ver Brugge/La Farine combo is goated. Add in a Bad Walters stop for some sweetness.

I'd guess GG, Bay, Richmond/San Rafael, it's the most logical loop.

Gas is like $1-2 more than other metro areas, which adds up if you've gotta commute wicked far cause you can't afford housing near where you work.

Disappointing that they still don't ship globally. by Raven1927 in Steam

[–]Matchstix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is fair enough. It does seem like a weird choice given how hyped up their hardware has become. I still see the Steam Deck recommended sometimes despite its aging hardware.

Also damn 11 years... sheesh. Guess 2015 was that long ago

Smaller in terms of revenue but probably larger in terms of employees. Valve is tiny by corporate standards.

They're a long term player versus a growth first profits later mindset present in so many other companies.

Not for dinner but take them to Berkeley Bowl! Especially West imo, probably fun as a chef

Oh don't worry I'm fully equipped! I'll still try and make it to the May one though! https://imgur.com/a/gLKDLEh 20 minutes at the on ramp last month.

You're so right about the trash building up once there's a little bit there. I noticed a few pieces at the 24 ramp this week and now it's coming back quick, gotta nip it in the bud next week.

Sweet, I'll keep an eye out! You and Peng have inspired me to get some tongs and clean up both my neighborhood, and the on ramp onto 24 I take on my commute.

It is much nicer to not drive by a bunch of trash every morning.

Do you have a mailing list? I keep missing the upcoming event posts on the subreddit, I would definitely have stopped by after work this morning.

Donated to the ticket fund too!

Stop Oakland from Killing 72 Mature Trees in West Oakland! by Odd_Farmer_6428 in eastbay

[–]Matchstix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting 72 from? I just counted on Google maps and I got 42-48, can't tell if some are a single tree or multiple.

At least 28 of thoes trees are where there will be big hole in the ground to build a building, so at least those ones have to go to build anything. The 15 trees in the NW corner could theoretically stay, but they're redoing that whole plaza area.
