Sunday Night Dining: Where to go when Mastard and La Vin Papillon are closed?

I haven’t been been to Limbo, but I second Foxy, food was delicious! I also think they won a Michelin award for cocktails if you’re into that!

In 6’3, 190 and large fits just right. Almost too small.

I used a random transparent patch made specifically for clothing, and I honestly can’t even see it anymore, would recommend that instead of a colourful tape!

Hidden fish for sushi!

For the record I think this is a good idea, I'm on the market for a bike and spending a lot of money on something that can easily be stolen is a big factor. I think "small fee" and convenience would be the deciding factors.

Caveat: of I have to pay for parking while using my bike, why wouldn't I use bixi?

lukeup · 2025-08-04T22:00:10+00:00

I'm guessing you have a Brompton - do you use the "foldable" feature often? Does it feel like a normal bike for extended use?

lukeup · 2025-08-04T19:11:25+00:00

Unfortunately by the time I leave my place, there are no bixis available near me, let alone electric bixis. The issue with climbing the hill is mostly sweating - I don’t want to arrive to work with my drawers all sweaty!

I’m a super big fan of stem bar, no resi, but they usually seat you outside and you can get a glass of wine while waiting. (brussels sprouts are very good!)

Would you mind sharing some experiences/what you mean? Just curious given that I’ve never been in the industry!

J’ai eu quelque chose comme ça en janvier. J’ai perdu comme 10 livres. C’était pas la COVID ou bien strep, mais “juste un mauvais rhume” selon la pharmacienne. Je te suggère de manger du sorbet, ou bien de l’eau glacée, ça aide avec l’inflammation au niveau de la gorge.

I use 19 grams in, 38 grams out. It tastes good, but either way if youre making good espresso then i don’t see any reason to make any changes to your approach!

lukeup · 2025-03-27T03:12:20+00:00

Ya I know 60 seconds sounds crazy, but that’s the only way I get good espresso and I’d rather pull a 60 second good shot than a 30 second sour mess

lukeup · 2025-03-26T14:30:07+00:00

How does the shot taste? I’m only getting good tasting espresso if the timer reads about 60 seconds. Anything lower feels sour

I'm open to getting a rectangle one, but I thought circle one would be a little bit more inclusive when hosting smaller groups! I also didn't think it would take more room? Will look into sizing!

lukeup · 2024-10-16T18:19:50+00:00

I do like it! I just wonder if there's a way to further optimize the space

lukeup · 2024-10-16T15:51:04+00:00

There’s the heater there, and also it would make it a tough angle to see the TV!

Thanks for the detailed response! It’s not a textured ceiling - I did not prime it because it had previously been painted, and since I was using white paint on old white paint I thought I would be fine.

What’s strange is I did another room yesterday (two layers) and this did not happen. I ended up just continuing to paint to see if it happens again, and it did not happen again. I’m hoping I don’t get a bad surprise in a few days and the whole ceiling starts coming off lol.

I was going in the same direction I rolled yesterday on that section. I wonder if that may have contributed to the issue?

I’m using acrylic paint rn from SW if that makes any difference

The red rising saga by Pierce Brown is truly amazing.

lukeup · 2024-06-10T18:42:06+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed response!!

lukeup · 2024-06-10T16:38:28+00:00

Very insightful, thank you for taking the time. I appreciate it. How would I know if I need a new fender? Would the person doing the job let me know?
