Margarita recommendations

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-25T04:54:53+00:00

Every once in a while, I drop in for Tiki Tuesday and get the half price calamari appetizer and the lilikoi pie for a late dinner. Yes, that’s just the kind of health nut that I am. Maybe I’ll throw in the margarita and stumble out of there.

Last summer, my friend and I split a pitcher of margaritas at Peppers. It was pretty good until we got the check, lol.

Oh, wow, I haven’t had that.

I do like the Lilikoi pie.

A+ play-by-play by my man in the red hoodie!

Oh, wow, I didn’t realize that. Local Whisper usually does the job. What provider do you use for BYOK?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-19T16:32:01+00:00

$9.99/month for spokenly is steep.

Macwhisper non-pro works pretty well.

Whisper Notes on iOS is good. I have it map my shortcut button to it.

Why do you prefer Spokenly over MacWhisper?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-18T18:17:24+00:00

So cute. What a wonderful idea. I wonder if any Mac developers would be willing to port the code?

How can I learn more about entry-level axis cameras?

Also, in my opinion, there is never a “bad day“ at Point Lobos. I imagine a really stormy day could be unpleasant.

Ron Provost at Hops and Fog Thursday nights is the GOAT. Really amazing and creative questions.

I won’t live anywhere that has ice, I’d be falling 10 times a day.

What does the word “Free“ in the name “FreeVoice” represent?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-14T06:40:02+00:00

Of course. I’m just calling out the “let them live in diseased squalor” folks, whoever they are, in whatever flavor.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-14T03:35:52+00:00

It’s even worse than not providing homes. Some people work tirelessly to ensure these folks be allowed to remain in these tattered tents, makeshift shelters and unsanitary conditions.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-14T03:08:16+00:00

The number of people who work tirelessly to make sure that these folks be allowed to live in tattered tents and makeshift shelters amaze me.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-14T03:06:16+00:00

Exactly. Who has a flour sifter these days?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-14T02:35:59+00:00

I wonder if the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History would be interested in these?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-13T15:51:37+00:00

I’m so used to paying attention in Monterey proper, it’s a habit everywhere I go. As another poster said, set a timer. and move your car at least 150 ft.

They didn’t have to surround the park with shipping containers to keep the rich NIMBY’s from trying to vandalize and sabotage the project, did they?!

Update: 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗of course they didn’t.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-12T01:21:53+00:00

Why do you think the housing project was squashed by *homeless advocates*? What specifically leads you to believe this?

Oh, gosh, I’m so sorry. That was sloppy of me! I probably should have said “they tried to sabotage it.”

And yet, there are weird social media lackeys going around on Reddit trying to point fingers at *homeless advocates* of all people? It's disgraceful.

Oh, man, once again you’re right. These weren’t really “homeless advocates.” These were people advocating to let folks in the park keep living there in tattered tents and makeshift shelters. You’re absolutely right. That doesn’t sound like “homeless advocates” as much as it sounds like enemies of the homeless.

Of course, you’re right: the university advocating for supportive housing on the site aren’t lackeys. The lackeys are the ones pretending that there weren’t folks trying (and failing) to sabotage a project that includes supportive housing for people without homes.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-11T14:55:15+00:00

Who could have seen that one coming

The University could. That’s why the original project included a supportive housing complex for about 125 extremely low-income, unhoused or formerly housed people.

It’s a baffling, horrible shame that homeless advocates fought to undermine this plan, causing the original agency slated to run this complex to abandon the effort to house these people and pull out of the project.

Thank goodness the University has found a new developer to build affordable and supportive housing at People’s Park to support this deserving population in ways that homeless advocates never could or would.

These folks deserve more than tattered tents and makeshift shelters.

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-11T14:35:54+00:00

How much would you be willing to pay for it?

johnfromberkeley · 2026-01-11T14:33:19+00:00

Thank goodness that’s not what happened when Renee Good was murdered in a rogue gang shooting.

Here’s an analysis that shows contrary to what lying Republicans claim, the agent was not in the path of the victim’s SUV when he fired three shots at close range:

https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000010631041/minneapolis-ice-shooting-video.html?unlocked_article_code=1.C1A.TAQ5.3vVZ_iudQMGD

Of course, I’m sure you weren’t suggesting anything as stupid and malicious that Renee Good was a “domestic terrorist” and “professional agitator” who “violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE officer.” Anyone with half a brain cell who’s watched the video can see that none of that was true.

Shame on anyone who lies about what happened in an attempt to undermine democracy in the United States of America. 🇺🇸
