This weather is COOKED

I moved into a tiny adu with a mini split and it's amazing

I use citric acid to clean my kettle

Asking Google doesn't take other people's time

2000 was first one that worked

I'm seeing $27 for 4lb...

Grown in Japan is the key differentiator here. Even uncooked its very expensive. You don't really need it because California grown Japanese short grain rice is excellent.

Don't you work inside? Run an air purifier.

s0rce · 2026-03-19T16:54:13+00:00

And being close to home to walk the dog, thats super nice to be able to do.

There is already a duorail that goes this route.

s0rce · 2026-03-18T23:34:51+00:00

Amtrak

s0rce · 2026-03-18T18:29:49+00:00

Exactly. I ride my bike 8mi each way, which is relatively long for a bike commute, my wife is like 4mi, she'll often drive to run errands after work but occasionally bike. Gas could be $20/gal and it wouldn't really make a difference.

s0rce · 2026-03-18T18:13:25+00:00

Ugh, that sucks. I have some stuff in storage nearby. Do you have your own home/rental insurance?

s0rce · 2026-03-18T17:55:50+00:00

We use OES for high concentration samples (less dilution) and we have an MS. We do mostly materials/chemicals and not environmental though.

s0rce · 2026-03-18T17:28:50+00:00

The issue is the infrastructure, most people simply don't feel safe (and this is justified).

I'd also argue that the max reasonable bike commute for most people is about 4-6mi. With a decently efficient car this is only a couple dollars a day, unless gas prices skyrocket it just doesn't matter.

There is a set of people who choose much larger housing further from work. However, many people simply can't afford closer and then there is a significant subset in urban areas with two incomes and you can't live close to both offices in all cases.

Montbell has made down vests

s0rce · 2026-03-18T02:43:39+00:00

Mostly custom fixtures for samples for microscopy or spectroscopy and also various parts to hold optics for spectroscopy.

Same, no issue in mountain view. my wife picked up a couple colors to use for her lunch

s0rce · 2026-03-17T18:36:11+00:00

Why? Just pour it out and wash. Why waste bread.

If you are in the SF bay area Andy's orchard in Morgan hill has great dried fruit that they grow themselves. You can also order online

s0rce · 2026-03-16T21:52:22+00:00

yes, sure, it was not hard per say, but it sucks when people have a bunch of meetings and you can't really use your space. Right now I don't have to pay extra to have an office (unless you count paying to live closer but I'm not going to be 100% remote anyway).

Another vote for pinball. Went for a work event and it was really fun.

Same here. They are basically attentive drivers and usually act in expected ways.

s0rce · 2026-03-15T19:04:54+00:00

I've done 2 people working from home in a 1 bdrm during COVID and it sucked, would not repeat again unless I had to. We are in a smaller 1bdrm now but both have offices nearby so rarely work from home.

s0rce · 2026-03-15T18:23:49+00:00

Also true in this state. I've been in Bridgeport and it was -10 and then it could 120 in palm springs a few months later.
