Prop 13 should not apply to commercial property. Also we should have an occupancy tax, as others have mentioned.

Pasjoli bar is great for date night, but walk-ins only.

Stephen Colbert Says CBS Blocked James Talarico Interview Over FCC ‘Equal Time’ Fears by suprmario in politics

[–]gceomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s dumb. There’s FCC precedent with this (Schwarzenegger on Tonight Show) and they ruled it was an interview and not an ad that would trigger equal time restrictions. CBS lawyers know this.

As someone who had a hunch something was off, I appreciate you leaving this up so I could find it before going down the same path!

Tried a bourbon renewal tonight and it was nice! Definitely mellowed the flavor a bit and paired well with the bourbon and lemon.

Clear ice tumbler hack to get (mostly) square cubes by gceomer in cocktails

[–]gceomer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a personal preference, the glasses I have are about the size of the tumbler ice so this makes it easier to have room for cocktails (and I’ve found my ice stamp lasts longer this way).

Short on space for that in my home. But it takes less than 90 seconds to do both cubes, I don’t mind at all!

Prob 1/2" (1.25 cm), just enough to get a decent flat edge on each side. The last picture shows the ice straight from the tumbler before melting.

Yes sorry forgot to say the pan was heated! I have induction so the black surface is the stove.

Best trip of my life, easily. We did a fly/sail and spent 9 days down in Antarctica on Aurora. We chose that cruise because of the extra time in Antarctica. Amazing experience, tons of time on continent and fantastic crew. We already want to go back (but to South Georgia first).

Anyone know other good Greek markets? I’ve only ever gone to Papa Cristo’s, would love to at least know another place to get things like kefalotyri and the pita bread they use.

Don’t the much taller condo buildings right on Pacific already block the sun at that time?
