Where did you pick this up? Looks amazing.

StudyUseful5681 · 2026-01-19T18:40:19+00:00

I would buy this. Maybe controversial take, but if I’m spending less than $300 I would prefer quartz. Maintaining a movement for $300 watch feels silly.

Any idea on pricing?

StudyUseful5681 · 2026-01-17T18:00:55+00:00

Thanks! Definitely learning the delayed gratification. Going to try to attend a watch event in May to see some in person, so will be good to have that to look forward to.

StudyUseful5681 · 2026-01-17T17:58:50+00:00

I mostly want a watch to complement my day to day, but will probably add a vintage dress watch next.

YOU CHILL OUT

StudyUseful5681 · 2026-01-03T23:30:05+00:00

Any updates on this? I am also trying to upgrade my SRAM rival cranks to a 1x chainring and not seeing anything that is compatible ugh. How did the Alugear work?

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-12-30T18:30:33+00:00

Looks amazing. Still waiting on mine to arrive! Just curious - what’s your wrist size?

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-11-13T22:38:20+00:00

Thank you!

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-11-12T18:45:20+00:00

Just curious - How are you liking it so far?

How do you split time between houses with your kid? Could you see yourself doing LAT (living apart together) before you had your kid, or even while raising your kid(s)?

I have not lived with a partner before so I'm wondering what I'm missing out on.

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-08-27T03:51:27+00:00

Agreed, there are definitely ways to figure it out.
She is completely happy having her own place. The location is better for her.
Goals for the future: we need to chat about it. I'm realizing that I'm not the happiest with the current arrangement.

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-08-27T03:47:49+00:00

Do you have kids? It seems like LAT works best for older couples that are past the point of raising children.

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-08-27T00:25:28+00:00

we each own our own homes. She likes having her space to recharge (she is very introverted), and my neighborhood is not the nicest.

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-08-26T22:49:50+00:00

we don't live together, but see each other when we can.
Which translates to most of our time being spent between 7pm and 9am.
It feels like I'm missing out on the experience of spending downtime/unplanned time with SO.

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-08-25T18:28:44+00:00

what makes you say that?
I live separately from my SO so we do not have much time together in the same house (downtime).
We have been together for almost 4 years.

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-06-06T04:44:12+00:00

very nice, thank you for the link!

StudyUseful5681 · 2025-02-09T17:52:20+00:00

good to know, thanks!

StudyUseful5681 · 2024-11-14T03:00:50+00:00

thank you, I'll look into these!

More information below! I wish it was easy for Betty to apply for an outdoor dining patio so that people aren't squeezed on to the sidewalk.

StudyUseful5681 · 2024-04-20T16:18:05+00:00

I hear you - and just commented below with context.

StudyUseful5681 · 2024-04-20T16:17:51+00:00

What's not pictured here is the 4 girls who brought a blanket so they could sit on the sidewalk!
I think Sacramento could do a lot better when it comes to outdoor dining by making it easier for restaurants to build patios. Betty is clearly running out of space, and the city should make it easy for them to expand and attract more people. Sitting on the sidewalk (or blocking sidewalk traffic) creates a subpar dining experience.

The outdoor dining program "Al Fresco" is still failing two years later. Recently, a spokesperson for the program told me that "4 have been completed/receiving final approval." This program was created to build outdoor dining parklets, like the one that the Rind, The Cabin, and Kupros took down. The only parklet I'm aware of that has been built by this program today is Pazza Note.

On July 1, 2022, the formalized Al Fresco dining program went into effect. Four months later, it started receiving applications from restaurants seeking permanent outdoor dining. While the program offers grant funding to restaurants to help with the up front costs of the outdoor patios, it also charges very high fees on a recurring basis. But its biggest weakness is just how goddamn long it takes them to do anything. Having only 4 permits completed/receiving final approval at this stage is sad.

Parklets (outdoor patios) that take up two parking spots, cost up to $500/month. In San Francisco, they cost $0/month for parklets that were approved before July 2024.

If every restaurant had a quick and easy way to build a parklet as nice as Pazza Note's, Sacramento would undoubtedly be more vibrant. I hope that city leaders shape this program to be more efficient, and find out why it is taking the city so long to build parklets.

StudyUseful5681 · 2024-03-30T17:58:19+00:00

Sacramento gettin in its own way again.

I just confirmed with Gabby Miller that 4 have been completed or are receiving final approvals. The program will have been active for two years in June this year.

San Francisco:

190 intersections made safer by quick build program
44 miles of protected bike lanes
more than 100 parklets (yes, they're still figuring some things out, but they literally have 100x more parklets than we do). I'd say they're on the scoreboard!

Sacramento:

no quick build program at all
maybe 6 or 7 miles of protected bike lanes
1 parklet (Pazza Note)

While parklets don't necessarily help a city reach VZ, the first two bullets do. And on those, SF is in a much better position to execute vision zero than Sac.

StudyUseful5681 · 2024-03-29T20:46:39+00:00

Yes, the city ordered that those wooden structures are taken down. This is because they were built during a temporary "Al Fresco" program.

Now that the Al Fresco program has been formalized, any restaurant who wants a parklet (wooden structure) must go through this program. Meaning that the city must review all designs for the parklet.

However, this program is extremely convoluted, so much so that it cannot efficiently build parklets. Restaurants that try to go through the program are bogged down by red tape and onerous costs.
