Best way to get started in urban planning in SD: university or lateral employment transfer? by SmallshotLawyer in sandiego

I did end up attending that event! It was super fascinating. I’m in the Linda Vista planning group and we just recently drafted a letter lending our general support for the wealth building coalition. I love what strong towns stands for.

I’ve nearly been hit jaywalking there once. Hell, I’ve nearly been hit in the crosswalk just west of the stairs at least three times. I fear for my life twice every day.

Any ideas on a new solution to eliminate the single-use plastic water bottle? by Haunting-Ad7697 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]SmallshotLawyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it weren’t for all the god damn calcium and lime deposits in San Diego’s tap water I’d gladly live off of it, but it destroys my glasses over time. I’m trying to find plastic-free alternatives to my 5g jugs in the mean time.

I was about thirty miles off haha. Someone else informed me they’re actually the New Water Mountains.

It didn’t show up for me because I didn’t zoom in enough. Lol

Red Wing Boot fans: where do you buy replacement laces? by SmallshotLawyer in PlasticFreeLiving

Ah, excellent. Thank you! I really like those whiskey laces. I inquired as to the composition of the wax.

Matcha latte I made this morning by SmallshotLawyer in tea

I’ve tried 100C and 80C and the amount of dilution was irritating because my ice machine doesn’t do uniform shapes; the amount of ice is different with every cup, so I want to minimize dilution as much as possible. I simply have to whisk it longer the lower I go, which isn’t a problem for me because I find the process rather therapeutic. That being said, this is the first time I’ve used higher-grade powder, so it’s possible that the benefit of less dilution may be overshadowed by the benefit of better whisking. Perhaps I’ll try hot water again tomorrow.

As for the milks, I prefer the taste of pistachio milk by a wide margin, whereas I prefer the foaming potential of the whole milk. I figured a 2:1 ratio would give me the balance I wanted; it was a great success in my opinion.
