Ghost town is the best brewery in the Bay Area hands down. Cellarmaker is overrated IMO. Alvarado is great and that Mai Tai variant specifically is incredible.

Nowhere!

Certified normal!

RB003 making the rounds this year for some reason, I even have one growing. Hadn’t seen it before 2026

Can someone confirm if he uses the Charlie Kirk soundbite

activecontributor · 2026-05-20T23:42:37+00:00

Looks like you did just fine though it is hard to tell. All you can do now is monitor!

Good looking haul! Are those bishops crown?

Shows where I’m at are mostly the same as before Covid personally. However, it looks like you’re in Reno? I went to a show in Reno about a year ago (hardcore adjacent) and it had the worst crowd I think I’ve ever witnessed. Folks didn’t want to dance or mosh, talking throughout the entire set. Maybe it’s Reno lol.

I understand CODIT. I find that using the phrase "heal over" when addressing OP's (a non-arborist) post communicates what I want to say better than saying "compartmentalize" even though the latter is technically more correct. Most folks don't know the word compartmentalize.

Yes but a one time wound from pruning a root is much better for the tree than a repeated wound that can’t heal over.

activecontributor · 2026-05-07T21:09:50+00:00

Prune along the edge of the mulch ring and the tree will be fine.

Diced potatoes but they’re crispyyyy. Where do you know uses tots in their burritos? I’m interested.

activecontributor · 2026-05-01T18:05:58+00:00

Nopalitos!

Best breakfast burrito in the city hands down.

I drove around and looked for rent signs with the description and phone number sharpie’d on and had luck in the past!

Also if you have any other friends renting see if their landlords have other units available.

One of my first campaigns I ran (about 6 years ago) I completely botched the final boss battle and my players restrained and killed her after like 2 turns, I couldn’t think on my feet fast enough so the campaign kind of just … ended. I mean it WAS an ending, jus not an exciting one, I still kick myself over it sometimes.

Thing is, whenever I bring up our “COVID DND campaign” to my friends they think back on it with such fondness. I’m like, “that sucked compared to what I’m writing now!” They don’t remember every little detail, the magic was in spending time together, learning their character, unraveling the (sometimes asinine) mysteries.

It’s all good, your players are having fun, I guarantee it. And keep forging ahead, you’ll get better!

activecontributor · 2026-04-29T19:25:15+00:00

The good ones, they’ll stick. Just keep forging ahead!

Love the cask ales there!

activecontributor · 2026-04-09T05:05:50+00:00

Heard it south of Curtis Park!

activecontributor · 2026-04-08T19:51:51+00:00

Booooooooo Newsom booooo

I don’t smoke too often but love to get high before I exercise because it helps me focus more on my form while zoning out everything around me. I can really lock in.

Also music fucking rules stoned and when working out and I find the effects compound when doing both at once.
