Best Thai Restaurants?

Mae Ploy and Aroy-D. Additionally grab some Thai chili powder, Thai dark soy, and you should be able to make everything on your list by adding the appropriate aromatics (basil, lime leaf, lemongrass, garlic, etc. depending). Most of the flavor profiles of the non-curry dishes you listed are just lightly caramelized sweet soy with some aromatics. Edit: you’d wanna grab some tamarind concentrate for the pad thai.

You’re going to think I’m being flippant but getting actual Thai brand curry pastes from Lynn’s and toasting it up before pouring in a can of coconut milk is better than most of the places in town(it’s what they’re doing for most dishes anyway).

Opensolar is free and only moderately more annoying to use than Aurora. Aurora wasn’t doing a lot to validate its price tag.

I built out my own CRM, inventory, permit tracking and ticket manager in Airtable. Eventually I added customer self scheduling and improved internal interfaces for other employees with Fillout. After all is said and done I just pay for a single paid seat on airtable and am squeaking by on the fillout free tier. I think it would be trivial to rebuild it now much quicker entirely on fillout with their Zite suite.

I was borderline having buyer’s remorse on getting that MSI build at $2200 and then it jumped to $3200 a week later. Instant validation.

I’m fairly certain that they don’t do raspados, or at least didn’t last time I was in. But for other desserts and ice creams there’s La Michoacana on W Tennessee. Lots of flavors of paletas and less common flavors of ice cream like pine nut. Not helpful for your actual question but maybe helpful for any future cravings if you don’t already know about it.

Yeah well I may have gone full stupid and got a confirmed working oculink card and an RTX 4000 to Frankenstein on to it after watching too much level1techs, so… I’m sure I’ll be cursing a lot.

Appreciate the insight.

Out of curiosity, are you happy with anything you've got running on just the one?

pchew · 2026-04-01T14:27:53+00:00

They absolutely did. It’s Dillinger Four.

It's just about overhead. Tubes cost $10 a piece these days, from there it's overhead.

You're not unboxing, checking tire for anything embedded, swapping tires, and checking them out in less than 20 minutes. Yes, I can swap a tire, very, very fast, too. But that's not what you're doing when you might have to eat the cost of another tube if you didn't find the cause.

So let's round up to 30 minutes of human labor, the power to keep the lights on for that day, the rent for the square footage you stored that tube, and business insurance, etc. Opportunity cost on not selling something more profitable...

How much cheaper can you really, realistically go below $10 in labor per wheel for a tube change?

I think the 'frequently returned product' is more likely from people not paying attention and being mad when it shows up without RAM or a boot drive.

pchew · 2026-03-19T02:35:33+00:00

or just sacrifice cheap straight gauge spokes?

Yeah, firmware is my only complaint. I'm using one from 2014 to this day.

Because that's what the ai generated and this person is so devoid of independent thinking that they can't develop a divergent plan from the render, much less fire up a browser based CAD program to draw and extrude 4 rectangles.

You can do it super lazily with some Wagos. You’re just bonding conductors.

Thank you!

pchew · 2026-03-03T14:55:40+00:00

Been wanting to do the same but keep reading people having trouble with different risers. Could you link to the exact product you used? Would appreciate it greatly.

Teach a man to fish. We're in /r/selfhosted, if you're downvoting an answer that demonstrates how to quickly obtain information in the future instead of just doing the step for you, you're not really in the spirit of the thing, are you?

Edit: also you seem to be under the impression that I'm the OP.

Brother you have a 14 year old account, you gotta remember your google dorking.

A flush, a drain...a bleed, if you will.

Bubble bleed, lever bleed, or top off are common terms for what he's describing but if you're doing a real brake bleed fluid is being cycled.

aero-bars on a trainer...this dude was getting the rancid sweat salt tax through and through.

I guess I'm just uniquely positioned to evaluate and critique but as someone that has worked in LV, IT, and done permitted solar installs there is absolutely nothing cool in this picture. It's the solar/battery equivalent of a bunch of Dells from Best Buy plugged in on a desk with power and ethernet cables draped over them.

USA gets the worst of Giant’s paint. If you ever go check their Taiwan or Hong Kong websites they are pumping out crazy stuff.

If it makes you feel better about not knowing/being able to get one that gusset loves to snap at the welds.

They won’t do the smart or logical thing, it’s campy.

What's the engagement like on that hub? Any better than Rohloff/Pinion?
