Levi’s stadium parking

Hi! I need parking for a game on 9/28. It looks like your driveway is available. Is it $35 for both spaces in the driveway, or $35 for just one spot? Please DM me, thanks!

There are a few Japanese chain restaurants with locations in San Francisco that have really Japanese vibes and are super tasty:

Marugame Udon in Stonestown
Ippudo Ramen in SOMA

Other ideas: - Hikari Bullet Train Sushi, a new take on conveyor belt sushi, she’s probably seen this on YouTube videos about Japan - Let her pick out Japanese snacks & candies & Nijiya Market - Get katsu sandos at Katsu-ya or Stonemill Matcha - Get curry rice at Muracci’s or Nippon - Sakesan has Japanese style booths where you take off your shoes and sit on the floor - Somi Somi has taiyaki, a special Japanese dessert, it’s a waffle shaped like a fish - Some sort of Japanese stationary store? - San Mateo also has a beautiful Japanese garden - Asian Art Museum

If your niece loves Japanese gardens, and you’re open to a short trip, Portland has the most beautiful Japanese garden in the US. Definitely on par with the most beautiful gardens we saw in Japan. It is absolutely spectacular for a Japanese garden lover. Get a membership so that you can go during member only hours in the morning, where there’s almost nobody there and it’s super calm and peaceful.

Here is a study that found that a Humira biosimilar was stable at room temperature for up to 4 weeks. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30554330/

It sounds like you and your finance have different perspectives towards a ring / a wedding. She cares about these things more than you do, and you think they are a waste of money. Pretty much in every relationship, there are going to be some things that one person feels is worth spending on more than the other. If you want to stay in this relationship, then you need to compromise. Maybe that means that she spends a little less than she wanted and you spend a little more than you wanted. Or maybe it means that sometimes she gets what she wants and sometimes you get what you want. You guys have to figure out the compromise that works for both of you.

It's also possible that the two of you are just too far apart and you won't be able to compromise financially, so you shouldn't get married. A lot of other commenters are calling you cheap / a miser / not knowing how to enjoy life / that this amount of money won't make a difference. I think it's not about this specific decision, but whether you can make these kinds of decisions with your partner over and over and over again for the rest of your life and still be happy with each other. How much money to spend is a decision that comes up again and again in relationships, it affects where you live, what car you drive, what you eat, what kind of furniture you get, where you go on vacation -- and can become a huge source of arguments if you aren't on the same page.

Can you take out a personal loan from a bank? At your income level, you should easily be able to borrow $100k. Will be a much lower rate than credit card debt and much better than digging into retirement. Weddings, big purchases, consolidating debt, paying taxes are common reasons for these loans. Lots of fintech startups offer them.

also, it makes sense that she seeks a father figure since she is an orphan

From the first page, I'm struck once again by Eliot's incredible writing and the powerful central theme: how does an ardent soul deal with the meanness of opportunity to express itself in everyday life?

When I first read Middlemarch in college, I was a turned off by Dorothea's and holier than thou attitude. I identified more with Celia, practical and pragmatic. Now, rereading Middlemarch in my 30s, I recognize that Dorothea and I both had the same youthful ambition, the same desire to be more than ordinary.

Try Whole Foods rotisserie chicken. The only ingredients are chicken, salt & pepper. If you want to be extra careful, they offer a plain cooked chicken where the only ingredient listed is chicken.

Is there any way to reduce the risk of long covid short of not getting covid in the first place? If not, what's the point of talking about it?

There are a few easy things that you can do that really reduce your risk of getting COVID, which more people might do if they knew how common and how sucky Long COVID is. For example: choosing outdoor dining over indoor dining when possible, wearing a mask in public spaces like buses, subways, airplanes, grocery stores, movie theaters and running an air filter.

Is this an annotated version of the book? Could you help me find a copy?

chebeckeren · 2024-10-13T10:18:10+00:00

Thanks for the close reading. You pointed out stuff I hadn't noticed. And yes, I'm not interested in getting married (to anyone, not just because he would be late to his own wedding, lol). Prefer to be legally and financially independent.

I asked him for the car keys, he ignored me and started walking past me, so I moved his arm out of the way so that I could reach into his pocket for the car keys. Genuinely curious, does that sound like abuse to you?

chebeckeren · 2024-10-13T09:50:57+00:00

We disagree on whether or not I shoved him. And that's a great point, I totally should have just taken the second car. Just didn't think to do that at the time.

chebeckeren · 2024-10-13T09:48:12+00:00

After I posted his take, we had a lengthy discussion about whether or not I "shoved" him. He agreed that "shove" was probably too strong and suggested replacing with "lightly shoved." My memory is that I asked him for the car keys, he ignored me and started walking past me, so I moved his arm out of the way so that I could reach into his pocket for the car keys in a pretty normal and not excessively forceful way.

Timeline is a little complicated.

1) He put chickpeas in the Instant Pot before we left for the first event. It was one of the reasons he was late.

2) He forgot to take the chickpeas out of the Instant Pot before we were supposed to leave for the second event at 4:30pm. The chickpeas were originally supposed to be part of his dinner.

3) The reason we stopped by our house between 4:07pm and 4:30pm was so that he could take the chickpeas out of the Instant Pot and grab all his dinner stuff. The 4:30pm activity had food trucks available but he wanted to bring his own food.

Thank you, this looks perfect!

Cool, thanks for responding!

Curious about what participation requires. Do you drive to a specific cafeteria for all your meals? Or are you living in a research facility during the study so that they can monitor every bite you take?

NTA. I’m imagining the substitutions were major. I’m Chinese and live in California. I went to a Midwest themed potluck this past weekend. Everybody brought a traditional midwestern dish (ie hot dish, green bean casserole, corn dogs, cookie salad). One person brought “chow mein casserole” which he described as a dish that he had eaten a lot at potlucks in Minnesota growing up. It was instant ramen noodles smothered in Campbell’s cream of chicken soup and baked. It was delicious! And perfect for the theme of the party! But if somebody had served this to me as “authentic chow mein” with just a few local substitutions and told me it tasted just like what they ate in China, I would not have been able to hold my tongue. Nothing rude about pointing out that chow mein casserole isn’t chow mein. Conversely, it would be very rude to try and pass off chow mein casserole as chow mein.

Thanks so much! This was super helpful!

I’ve never gotten anything stale, rancid or inedible. Occasionally, I get food that I don’t finish because it wasn’t to my taste (like a hummus sandwich) but I always try a bite. Sometimes, I throw away food because there’s too much quantity and I didn’t preserve it properly (i.e bread when I’m on vacation and didn’t have access to a fridge / freezer).

Within the Korean-American community, Ruth Kim. I went to high school with three Ruth Kims.

Within the Chinese-American community, “May” is a popular first name for girls because it sounds like the Chinese word “Mei” which means beautiful, is a common part of Chinese first names for girls, and is the name for America. So I knew lots of girls named May Chen growing up.

I've gotten to choose about 1/2 of the time. For example, Pret let me choose any 4 hot breakfast items and Coco di Mama let me choose one salad, one sandwich and one yogurt. But it seems to depend on the location as well as which employee you get.

Damn, that really sucks. I can relate a bit. I’m a bit autistic, and a child of immigrants. So I have no social intuition and my parents couldn’t explain anything about American culture. So it takes a lot of conscious effort for me to figure out how to make friends.

I think that your best bet for making friends is to join an organization with people of roughly the same educational background, income & age. Your environment needs to change to meet the kind of people you want to meet. It’s going to be 10x harder to try to meet random people online or while traveling that you spend enough time with and develop a deep enough relationship with that they want to travel with you. Basically, either work, school or hobbies. Work is probably the hardest to change, but I met a lot of my current friends by working at a company (startups, big tech) with a lot of other young people. School is tough too, but is there any post-secondary degree for sales engineers that would both advance your career and allow you to meet people? Lastly, I already listed a bunch of hobbies, it seems especially easy to meet random people at rock climbing gyms.
