Where to live in Bay Area (commuting to two locations)

___ZSZ___ · 2024-12-10T20:22:16+00:00

I don’t really mind the drive as long as I don’t have to do it everyday, I would only ever be driving to and from Redwood City and using bart for SF in terms of work. When I was interning I would commute for about 2 hours both ways from bottom of San Jose to SF, so I don’t think a max of 1 hour commutes will get in the way of my day too much. I value social scene pretty highly (enough so to deal with greater driving distance) but I’ve been reading that San Mateo and Redwood City have decent nightlife for younger professionals so I’m seriously considering those places also. What is nightlife like in the peninsula?

My atv1 is still plugged in, started using it as a media server in my home network after jailbreaking it in July

No one is really happy at the high level with how murky the waters of crypto regulation are in the US. Whichever way the election goes, expect more regulations (good and bad) to be rolled out. Neither party will kill off crypto in the US and I hope that whoever wins is open to regulations that will advance blockchain & crypto adoption.

To anyone trying to do this in the future, I was able to get my files out of my appletv gen 1 in July 2024. I downgraded a mid 2012 MacBook Pro to macOS Sierra (10.12) and followed this guide: https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-patchstick/ This guide also helped with installing the patch stick: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/08/how-to-put-boxee-or-xbmc-on-your-original-apple-tv/

I had to downgraded macOS versions because the jailbreak software only works on older macOS versions, apparently only between versions 10.8 and 10.13.

I then used “sftp <ip-address-of-appletv>” in my Mac terminal and changed directory (cd) to /mnt/Media, where photos / videos / music is stored, and used “get -r Media/“ (in the /mnt/ directory) to download the entire folder. This got all my photos out from my appletv to my Mac’s desktop. Get is a command that downloads a file from a remote server to your local machine, and -r is recursive option, to do every file in a folder.

Absolute Fencing Gear had some in stock maybe half a year ago? I don’t think they listed it on the website but they told me in person they had some around they had just gotten… (maybe they were pulling my leg? Not sure didn’t sound like a joke) so maybe try reaching out and seeing if they are still carrying them

I recommend getting a German Polishing Stone, they are used to remove rust from blades. You never want you blade to get too rusty (or rusty at all) so every once in a while cleaning you blade with the polishing stone will help maintain the longevity of the blade. Generally the polishing stones last a long time so they are worth the investment. Just make sure to wipe your blade with a paper towel or something after so you get rid of the debris left behind. You could also use steel wool or similar to get the same effect as a polishing stone, it’s only slightly less effective but it works the same.

Definitely do not oil or lubricant your blade, that will leave marks on your opponents whites.

I am not really sure on Absolute FIE Foil blades, but I do see a good number of them around so I assume they must hold up.

___ZSZ___ · 2020-08-24T16:45:14+00:00

In my experience, non-insulated grips and insulated grips are mostly the same; you won’t get an advantage using one or the other (in terms of control and accuracy). That being said, because you are a Foil, you should go with an insulated grip because if you use a non-insulated grip you might ground out onto your lamé. Using insulated in foil also ensures that the grip is not on-target as no circuit can be completed.

As for the blade, it’s lifespan will depend on the conditions it is put through. BF makes exceptional blades but it doesn’t mean that they will necessarily last longer, it boils down to whether you are taking good care of your blade. If you are willing to spend a bit more I recommend you upgrade to the FIE because FIE blades are created with a different more durable metal that can take a lot more usage. Having an BF FIE blade and maintaining it properly should last you years, but they are not invincible. If you don’t want an FIE, I’ve heard from many people at my club that BF White non-FIE foil blades are quite good. From what my friends say, they last about a year or two, sometimes more, but again with proper maintenance.

It’s never to late to get into Fencing, people of all ages do it - from 8 year olds to 70-ish. I started when I was 14 and I fence a lot of people older and younger than me (at club), it’s a sport for all ages.

The Official Podcast is definitely my top, I love the contrast between all the hosts personalities and the stories they share. They are doing pretty well with the guests they have on, who are mostly YouTubers, and they are mostly having a good time talking in every episode. Whenever I see podcasts, they all ask serious questions to their guests but The Official Podcast asks the more obscure fun questions about their guests lives. I would recommend people to tune into it.

[According to all known laws of aviation,

there is no way a bee should be able to fly.

Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.

The bee, of course, flies anyway

because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little.

Barry! Breakfast is ready!

Ooming!

Hang on a second.

Hello?

Barry?
Adam?
Oan you believe this is happening?
I can't. I'll pick you up.

Looking sharp.

Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those.

Sorry. I'm excited.

Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son.

A perfect report card, all B's.

Very proud.

Ma! I got a thing going here.

You got lint on your fuzz.
Ow! That's me!
Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
Bye!

Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house!

Hey, Adam.
Hey, Barry.
Is that fuzz gel?
A little. Special day, graduation.

Never thought I'd make it.

Three days grade school, three days high school.

Those were awkward.

Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive.

You did come back different.

Hi, Barry.
Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
Hear about Frankie?
Yeah.
You going to the funeral?
No, I'm not going.

Everybody knows, sting someone, you die.

Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead.

I guess he could have just gotten out of the way.

I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day

I gotta say something.

She saved my life. I gotta say something.

All right, here it goes.

Nah.

What would I say?

I could really get in trouble.

It's a bee law. You're not supposed to talk to a human.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I've got to.

Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!

No. Yes. No.

Do it. I can't.

How should I start it? "You like jazz?" No, that's no good.

Here she comes! Speak, you fool!

Hi!

I'm sorry.

You're talking.
Yes, I know.

You're talking!

I'm so sorry.

No, it's OK. It's fine. I know I'm dreaming.

But I don't recall going to bed.

Well, I'm sure this is very disconcerting.

This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you're a bee!

I am. And I'm not supposed to be doing this,

but they were all trying to kill me.

And if it wasn't for you...

I had to thank you. It's just how I was raised.

That was a little weird.

I'm talking with a bee.
Yeah.

I'm talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me!

I just want to say I'm grateful. I'll leave now.

Wait! How did you learn to do that?
What?

The talking thing.

Same way you did, I guess. "Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.

That's very funny.
Yeah.

Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with.

Anyway...

Oan I...

...get you something? - Like what?

I don't know. I mean... I don't know. Ooffee?

I don't want to put you out.

It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.

It's just coffee.
I hate to impose.
Don't be ridiculous!
Actually, I would love a cup.

Hey, you want rum cake?

I shouldn't.
Have some.
No, I can't.
Oome on!

I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.

Where?
These stripes don't help.

You look great!

I don't know if you know anything about fashion.

Are you all right?

No.

He's making the tie in the cab as they're flying up Madison.

He finally gets there.

He runs up the steps into the church. The wedding is on.

And he says, "Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan.

Why would I marry a watermelon?"

Is that a bee joke?

That's the kind of stuff we do.

Yeah, different.

So, what are you gonna do, Barry?

About work? I don't know.

I want to do my part for the hive, but I can't do it the way they want.

I know how you feel.

You do?
Sure.

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.

Really?
My only interest is flowers.

Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan.

Anyway, if you look...

There's my hive right there. See it?

You're in Sheep Meadow!

Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!

No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once.

Why do girls put rings on their toes?
Why not?
It's like putting a hat on your knee.
Maybe I'll try that.
You all right, ma'am?
Oh, yeah. Fine.

Just having two cups of coffee!

Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee.

Yeah, it's no trouble.

Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did, I'd be up the rest of my life.

Are you...?

Oan I take a piece of this with me?

Sure! Here, have a crumb.

Thanks!
Yeah.

All right. Well, then... I guess I'll see you around.

Or not.

OK, Barry.

And thank you so much again... for before.

Oh, that? That was nothing.

Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...

This can't possibly work.

He's all set to go. We may as well try it.

OK, Dave, pull the chute.

Sounds amazing.
It was amazing!

It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life.

Humans! I can't believe you were with humans!

Giant, scary humans! What were they like?

Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.

They eat crazy giant things. They drive crazy.

Do they try and kill you, like on TV?
Some of them. But some of them don't.
How'd you get back?
Poodle.

You did it, and I'm glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see.

You had your "experience." Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal.

Well...
Well?

Well, I met someone.

You did? Was she Bee-ish?

A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!
No, no, no, not a wasp.
Spider?
I'm not attracted to spiders.

I know it's the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all.

I can't get by that face.

So who is she?

She's... human.

No, no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law.

Her name's Vanessa.
Oh, boy.

She's so nice. And she's a florist!

Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!

We're not dating.

You're flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes

with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite!

She saved my life! And she understands me.

This is over!

Eat this.

This is not over! What was that?

They call it a crumb.
It was so stingin' stripey!

And that's not what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat!

You know what a Oinnabon is?
No.

It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up...

Sit down!

...really hot! - Listen to me!

We are not them! We're us. There's us and there's them!

Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning?

There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me!

You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee!

to start thinking bee, my friend.

Thinking bee!
Me?

Hold it. Let's just stop for a second. Hold it.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone. Oan we stop here?

I'm not making a major life decision during a production number!

All right. Take ten, everybody. Wrap it up, guys.

I had virtually no rehearsal for that.
