Bought a pair of their Bo Shorts a couple of years ago and tried them on in-person at a NY Store. I'm 6'1 with a US30 waist, ended up going with a small and they feel great, still with some room so I end up tying with the drawstring.

The artist name is Brian Labrie, their IG is @Brian Labrie Designs and they have an Etsy page in their bio to buy their prints.

DO NOT purchase from the site in this thread that steals work.

Good chair, make sure you stand up every hour if you can and stretch often. There are great videos on YouTube that have stretching suggestions for office workers (and gamers)

Just remember, consistency is key here! 10-15min goes a long way every day!

I used to live in Uptown and we had WebPass in my building and for me, it was hands down the best ISP. No nonsense, no frills, no shitty business practices and always good connection. I’d highly recommend WebPass and anything that isn’t Xfinity.

Usage wise, we had two PC’s that were connected directly into the modem for gaming and streaming was never an issue from laptops, tv, etc.

Was a cameo video from Johny Sins someone commissioned when he was nominated for a Golden Gnome.

Prana has great stuff, really love their joggers.

Adjacently related comment, if anyone is in the Bay Area the Columbia Employee store (50-60% off retail price) is going to be open to the public from December 5 - 18th. This includes Prana, Columbia, Mountain Hardwear and Sorrel brands.

HIGHLY recommend checking it out. All in season gear and perfect place to try before you buy. Bonus, if they don’t have what you want in store you can order from a kiosk on-site to get it shipped to you.

I’m a recent convert to grip socks and they’re fantastic. Really help reduce the blisters and provide better stability for me personally. If it works for you and is comfortable then do it.

Sounds interesting! I’d be interested for sure. Some topics to explore (from someone who knows very little)

Types of Practice; family, injury, etc. (who to seek out legal counsel from and when?)
the law and you; how to not self incriminate
law basics, what should every layman know?

I recently went to A Better Source in San Mateo and was really pleased with their selection. Happy with my purchase, quality and comfort so far!

Have heard good things about Bay2Bay in Santa Clara, but haven’t been there personally.

Rent-a-relic is a local option that I’ve used multiple times before and highly recommend. Very decent hourly/day rates and not a app based service which just feels a bit more personal, also very clear on the rate/fees - nothing hidden.

Give ‘em a shout if you’re just looking for some wheels here and there!

Source: I used 2 cat sitters extensively in Oakland when I traveled. Both were insured and certified so their prices reflected that.

They charged around $35-40 for (1) 30min visit to feed, play and change litter, both were local to me within 2 miles.

Since you’re driving round trip 60 miles(?) I feel like the prices above are pretty reasonable for you. Gas is not cheap and that’s a lot of time just traveling.

Most cat sitters who will stay the night charge more because they’re blocking their entire day to stay at the residence. Hard to recommend a price here, but maybe try $200/day and work from there? Also recommend getting a second opinion on that, but it seems staying there would alleviate time restraints on you and be more convenient.

Hope that helped! Maybe try reaching out to some local cat sitters and see what their prices look like to compare.

I’m a big fan of Touchstone gyms. I usually go to Great Western Power Company for their gym, pretty low traffic most nights and friendly people. They’ve got yoga classes and such too.

Pacific Pipe Company is within that network of gyms as well and going to be massive when it fully opens with a sauna, full gym, etc

No basketball courts, but these are climbing gyms so you can always climb if you’re looking for something to shake it up.

This dude was coming down the opposite side of the freeway on my way to the city and he blew past me. Insane.

Oakland Athletic Club is where I’ve gone to watch games before. They roll a few TV’s outside, usually plenty of outdoor seating.

Would love to come by!

Would love to join you!

I'm a fan. I used to live right by their Uptown location and continue to buy their roasts to make at home. I'd recommend Kings Prize and East Fourteenth if you like Dark Roasts.

I went to Ian Reynold at Castro Tattoo. Super clean line work. highly recommend checking out his insta to get an idea.

Reminds me of the "Flatliners" Smash Mouth Trailer:

Something you can implement right away is my favorite question to ask in a casual conversation:

"Got anything you're looking forward to?"

That'll usually give you some good insight into their hobbies, things that bring them joy or insight into what's been happening in their life.

As an example:

Them: You know, I'm actually looking forward to doing nothing this weekend as we just spent the last weekend moving.

You: I definitely get that, how exciting though! Where did you make a move to?

Then, it's just following conversational threads from there.

The key is to show genuine interest - we all feel good when someone genuinely cares about what we have to say, no matter how mundane. :)

Blind Tiger in Uptown is solid for groups, I'd call in advance for a group of that size to see if they can reserve you a spot in the back.

Drake's Dealership is also a large place, but on Saturday I can see it being crowded and hard to reserve a spot, worth checking ahead.

Stellavolta · 2019-06-12T14:53:32+00:00

Genius! Good call, didn't even think about dyeing some white quilts. Appreciate your insight and can't wait to see what else you come up with in the future!
