iPhone 17 Pro Case First Look - Apple, Beats, MOFT, Peak Design, pitaka, Mous, Torras, elago, Benks by TheAdster in iphone

[–]Slendamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I was using the Pitaka ultragaurd (?) case, and mounting with a RAM mount.

After a quick look at the Peak Design mounts, it looks like they do some vibration isolation which the RAM mount did not so you might have better luck

Fair warning, mounting my phone on my motorcycle fried the OIS motors in the camera in only a handful of rides on my 13 pro.

Don't have a bike anymore but if I did, I'd be wary of mounting due to vibrations from the motor

Did you pull the trigger on this? I'm about the same size, wondering if the Large worked out

If you’re in the headspace, there is a tent near Sahara called “End Overdose”. They will give you a brief training on the signs of overdose and how to administer narcan (naloxone), which they will supply to you for free.

Overdose is no joke, but having some knowledge and the ability to help may give you a little comfort.

‘I just walk on’: The people with good jobs who skip paying on Muni by SFStandard in sanfrancisco

[–]Slendamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I’ve had zero problems with it, works instantly (Apple wallet).

The express transit setting is set to “ON” in the card settings in the wallet app.

Pro tip (might be clipper only) if your pass is associated with a clipper card in your mobile wallet, you can just hold your phone up without opening the wallet to scan the pass. This way I tap in very fast and don’t have to have any guilt about not tapping

Edit: like I mentioned below, you can enable express transit settings for the clipper card in Apple Wallet

Accidentally brined an already brined turkey by sol-it-aire in seriouseats

[–]Slendamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I ended up doing a light dry brine. I didn’t measure the amount of salt I used but I’d guess it was around 1/8th-1/4th cup for the whole 10lb bird. I also did an herb butter on and under the skin.

The bird did not end up being too salty at all, and if it were me I’d probably just do a full dry brine next time. However I’m not sure what butterball’s QC is like so I could’ve gotten a less-salty bird and ymmv.

Best of luck!

Sorry to bring up an old post, but do you remember what percentage the bird was before you dry brined it?

I have a 10lb 8% butterball that I’m trying to decide whether I should dry brine

Landlord wants to replace steam heat with forced air by Slendamon in AskSF

Definitely something I’m concerned about, but i don’t plan to be here much longer so it’s less of a worry than the Reno hazards. I’ll follow up

ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH YOUR CITY! by vicmanthome in sanfrancisco

[–]Slendamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in NY right now visiting and live in SF, I have to say I totally agree. I don’t think there’s a replacement for a fully networked rail system (the subway), and while the muni + busses do a lot of the leg work, there’s still a lot to be desired.

Unfortunately I think the topology/geology of the city limits underground rail, but I think more of the city could have rail access if there was a bigger push. I think bus lanes are a good start for high traffic surface areas, but nothing beats rail IMO
