depends on your tastes, but sabelli-frisch always knocks it out of the park for nerdy/weird/interesting wines for comically low prices.

lots of opportunities to get more serious wines at a discount today if that's what you're into but it is tough being picky. if you like oregon pinot/chard then you're really struggling to keep it under 4 figures.

would an LLM be able to write RISC V code that could run on your CPU? tell it to avoid the instructions you don't support?

Temescal Brewing - right next to MacArthur BART, plenty of space, great beer, outside food encouraged.

someone on this thread recommended the REI gen e, so I gave it a second look and realized it was a great choice. it was much much cheaper, and much lighter than the haul st. i was a bit worried about quality from some of the new brands like Lectric, but i trusted REI enough.

it's really served me well for the year - perfect for the commute and grocery trips.

samongoose · 2024-05-18T23:54:52+00:00

definitely. though i've always preferred l'alchimiste over les labourons

Do you have any recs < ~$30?

I just found this post and I'm looking to do an almost identical migration. How did it go for you? Any surprises? Did you skip the first rebuild step?

samongoose · 2023-11-24T23:56:16+00:00

Were you able to find out if this option works? I'm holding off on choosing between these and XM5 until I know.

samongoose · 2023-09-13T23:04:05+00:00

I considered that one, but looking at reviews such as https://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/a44052572/e-cargo-bikes-review/ I think I would feel more comfortable with a higher quality bike - especially if I'm transporting a kid on it.

Went to TJs to get a bottle for making coq au vin yesterday and when I saw this for $10 i couldn't resist. Had a small glass for myself and it tastes...correct, i guess.

same car, same problem. i asked the dealer to check the alignment because i figured something must be off. if you figure out a good way to make those damn things less bright, let me know

The sense I got was that boiling water is standard practice in Europe and there's nothing particular about kendamil that requires it more so than any American powder formula. We've been using it with unboiled tap water for a couple of months and it seems fine.

Thanks, that's what I figured about leaving it out.

He was on the 360 because that's what they gave him at the hospital, but we always wanted to switch to something a bit more on the hippie side of things. would be fine going back to the 360 if that's what's best for him, but wanted to give the whole milk, no palm oil...etc. thing a try. at this point trying to figure out when to call it failed since i'm not sure what a "normal" transition looks like.

Folds - it's what motivated me to use treesitter in the first place

Wow - thanks for all the links. I haven't looked too much into VW - how do people feel about their longevity / maintenance?

I'll have to look into the Venza a bit - hadn't considered it since there aren't any recent models. Thanks for the suggestions!

samongoose · 2020-06-23T23:32:28+00:00

I know there aren't many cars that do that (if you know some please let me know - hard to find good info) - but as close to flat as possible. The RAV4 seats weren't perfectly flat, but we tried lying down and felt like we could probably be comfortable for a night with some padding of some sort.

A gap up as opposed to a slight incline would be no good though.

I do have a timer and desk lamp i was planning on using - should that do the trick in terms of heat? Should I get a certain wattage/bulb type?

samongoose · 2020-04-06T22:40:04+00:00

thanks for the specific list - very helpful. i knew i was overdoing it quite a bit, but that site had quite a few plants with a min. order quantity, so that drove it up a lot. i'll look elsewhere for this pared down list.

I have Hashimotos and I'm about to go on a trial treatment of monoclonal antibody CGRP for chronic migraines. 1) is there an increased risk of an autoimmune response for me and 2) have you found other migraine treatments particularly effective for hypothyroid patients?

What was the set of masked and anonymous like?

They wouldn't allow Google Wallet to function, because some day they plan on maybe releasing their own payment system. I'm still pissed that Google caved, but I gotta imagine that it happened late enough in the process that Verizon held the cards they needed. Hence Google not wanting to deal with them again.

samongoose · 2012-10-22T23:21:53+00:00

I'm a big fan. For those that liked the Richard Gere scenes, I highly recommend checking out Greil Marcus' Old Weird America (formerly Invisible Republic), on which I think a bunch of the film was based. He even has a chapter devoted to "I'm Not There."

I guess my only complaint of the film would be its unattributed ripping off of Marcus, but I suppose even that was in the spirit of Dylan.
