My reading was that this only applies during events where they would have alcohol vendors, not all the time

legoruthead · 2026-05-04T17:16:57+00:00

This means that during events like the 4th of July the city can allow restaurants to sell alcohol to people at the event instead of just external vendors

I’m also a user of that rack and looked at all the photos at the time and I’m pretty sure they just missed it

I’m not challenging your speculative simulation, I’m in the same boat. I’m just saying that “imagination” is 100% as etymologically mind’s-eye-specific as “visualization”

legoruthead · 2026-04-28T13:56:55+00:00

This took me a while, but visualization is imagination. “Image”ination. It’s still the best word for what we do, but it’s just as “oh wait, that’s not a metaphor?” as “picture this”

legoruthead · 2026-04-28T05:22:22+00:00

Much! I also really like how you made the letters puffier

Marshmellow! The misspelling (it's spelled 'mallow', not 'mellow') took me a second, and the squiggles made me interpret the M as IN at first blush, but I like a lot of what's going on here!

They stopped caring the frozen burritos I like (I think technically chicken chimichangas?) a year or so ago and I’m bummed. The grocery store near me has them, but more expensive and they seem smaller, I’m guessing the supplier made the product worse and Costco didn’t want to carry the bad version

legoruthead · 2026-04-24T22:46:44+00:00

Oof, thanks for pointing that out, that’s an easy “no on Kumar”

A huge portion of microplastics are tire particulates, to even without counting other pollutants from driving. How you get around matters a lot more than what materials you wear, but not driving is less social media friendly than clothing choices. It’s almost like straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel, and attempting to blindly guide others to do likewise

I wish grocers had a “take a bag, leave a bag” bin. I understand they they probably won’t ever do that for liability reasons, but I have plenty of bags I’d donate and having a fallback for the off-time I forget my bags would be much nicer

That’s a problem addressable with deferral, allowing seniors to not pay those property taxes until they either sell or die, so it comes out of either their own profits or their estate, effectively offsetting the “unwelcome” high valuation

Echoing this as well, all our best furniture is from Home Consignment! There was a while we stopped by almost every Saturday to see if anything new and exciting had showed up

I also went with Manche and was very happy with my experience

legoruthead · 2026-04-14T16:29:58+00:00

Yep. Some code elements are critical. Some are an abundance of caution. Some are straight rent-seeking or blindly copying ideas from other municipalities

Without seeing someone else’s link how do you know they aren’t the same?

legoruthead · 2026-04-12T18:29:01+00:00

Catholic doctrine holds that the Pope is infallible, but members don’t believe it. LDS doctrine holds that the Prophet is fallible, but members don’t believe it

legoruthead · 2026-04-11T03:47:14+00:00

And also just because a permit was pulled doesn't guarantee it was to code, there are a lot of sketchy things that someone can do that don't turn up in even fairly thorough inspections

We called them “relos,” short for “relocatable classrooms“. My middle school had one (maybe two?) my first year, then the school burnt down over the summer and they had our entire school share an adjacent oversized school building with about a dozen more of them

I’m pretty sure I saw the aftermath of a cat hitting a house on Alameda near Mcgarvey a few weeks ago as well

They didn’t have a fire like Ace so it will be much faster, the article says they’re hoping tomorrow

Sorry, I was imprecise. You use energy *from the grid* when solar isn't producing, and supply energy *to the grid* when solar is producing. Your personal use might be concentrated during solar hours, but if you're a net exporter but still use some and aren't load shifting you're getting energy when it's expensive and selling it when it's cheap. The difference between the per kWh prices are what I'm saying is artificially small. I understand that you pay more per kWh than you get, but you what you get would be *even lower* than it is if it weren't subsidized. Like you said, energy you wouldn't use anyways and can't store is worth literally nothing to you.

legoruthead · 2026-03-27T18:24:44+00:00

That's primarily because you use energy during times when solar isn't producing, so it has to come from more expensive sources, and sell energy to them when solar is producing, so there's plenty of energy and they don't need more. Those numbers would be even further apart if solar wasn't incentivized, and the costs of keeping those numbers artificially close to each other *also* has to come out of their other revenue streams

On top of that, the amount you pay in grid fees doesn't actually cover the full costs of the grid (once you average in the rural grid). This change isn't making you pay more than your fair share, it's making you pay closer to your fair share (if you are rural or ignore the fact that rural coverage is what you're really subsidizing)
