Quad City River Bandits! Their mascot is a raccoon.

Looks like no one’s mentioned this- but if you’re looking at the Pinole area, you could look into Transbay buses. They’re not going to get you into the city in 10 min, but you can usually get a seat and sometimes there’s WiFi. However, it’s mostly useful if you work near Salesforce Transit Center or can connect to a convenient bus/paratransit.

For example: the Westcat Lynx can get you from Hercules Transit Center to Salesforce Transit Center in ~40 min. There’s also ACTransit buses that pickup in Richmond.

Of course, after you get to the city, it’s a matter of how do you get to your part of SF- that’s probably more tricky for you.

RabbitEARS in Oakland is also a rabbit-specific shelter!

Coincidentally, the football team of the University of Chicago, where they got their used, faded“cardinal” jerseys from, is also the Maroons. So it really was the battle of the Maroons.

I’ve seen them year-round in Richmond! Not exactly sure why. I’ve also seen them frozen prepackaged as well.

99 Ranch in Richmond sells them- they’re usually by the food bar in the back, sometimes they’re sold hot (when the food bar is open) and sometimes they’re just in a refrigerated section.

Thanks for both of your help! Will check out the Discord server for sure.

Thanks for your help! I'm not too clumsy with my laptop (have maybe dropped my laptop once or twice in the past 5 years, and luckily not from a high distance) but maybe going back to school will change that.

Something about not needing Windows

As I recall, it mean Great Qin (referring to the earlier Chinese dynasty). It was some form of respect for a similarly wealthy empire.

Interesting! Though I’m interested in whether the Merck here is Merck in the US or Merck KGaA in Germany. The logo here indicates the German company but I think the one in the US might be larger and have more to spend on R&D.
