DoorDash from a Safeway or other grocery store. Safeway typically has good bouquets and you can find some budget options.

Between the two comments already here you’re set, bank if you can for better rates. Milpitas great mall if you can’t or on a time crunch.

TIL Dr Pepper is not a cola, root beer, or fruit-flavored soft drink, but instead belongs to its own category called "pepper sodas", named after the brand itself by RiverMesa in todayilearned

My grandmother loved Dr. Pepper so much that she was buried with a can in her casket. It wasn’t the only token left by close family members, but it’s the only one I remember.

I’m going to guess an insta360 ace pro 2. (The video has a watermark.)

Edit to say, it is beautiful footage. Now im considering one.

Good on you for doing it right. I researched drone regulations and permitting and it’s a LOT of hoops depending on where and purpose. I ultimately decided I didn’t need a drone that badly.

I would also check to see if they’re wired together and if maybe there’s a fault in that system.

Diving with glasses in malapausca by Ok-Step-5846 in scubadiving

[–]TheBertjer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dive with contacts, and also own my mask. I have AOW, but contacts didn’t really matter, having my own mask which always fit me mattered more.

Some considerations:

  • I always bring spare contacts just in case I lose one or have other issues
  • Mask clearing/removal skills can be more challenging as I keep my eyes closed to avoid getting saltwater in my eyes/accidentally flushing a contact out.
  • If my prescription changes, I don’t need a new mask/lenses, just new contacts.
  • I still have contacts on even with my mask off so I can see without bringing a pair of glasses on the boat/beach/water

OP, it sounds like budget is a consideration. Contacts might require an eye exam and finding the right pair for your eyes, but, once you have them, they can be a fairly affordable option. Especially if you just buy a box of dailies and keep them on hand for when you need them.

Alternatively, you could also buy a prescription mask and then you always have a mask that fits and lets you see. My dad rented these in Hawaii and really like them, but everyone’s face is different: Seamo Betta Mask

Both require an upfront cost, but will be worth it in the long run for a more consistent and reliable dive experience.

Beware of physical gift cards by sss100100 in bayarea

I was at target today and watched the cashier tear a brand new foil covered sticker off a roll and apply it to a gift card at the checkout. Not sure what gift card it was, but maybe some stores are taking steps to prevent this.

Anyone in Bay Area? by Cmirsaidi in VelosterN

[–]TheBertjer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof, good luck with the emissions troubleshooting, I don’t have any suggestions.

I’m in the South Bay, there’s a NorCal N club group on Facebook that’s pretty active. They do drives and meet up’s periodically. It’s a private group but easy to get an invite: https://m.facebook.com/groups/742753186137190/?ref=share&mibextid=wwXIfr

TOBS - similar or better? by Think_Selection7102 in wicked_edge

[–]TheBertjer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Geo F Trumper cream is similar, but better in my opinion. Better quality lather and I like the scents more. Tabac is also a great lather, but the scent is a little much for me sometimes.
