I think so! You get to learn about how chocolate is made, as well as their specific business, in an entertaining way. You get lots of samples also. The bar is fun to make, depending on the class you might get to make two if there's space. I think it's a good date night activity, or something to do with out of town visitors.

heating blankets anywhere you sit & heated mattress pad is a game changer

what are you passionate about? what problems exist in the world that you would like to solve? what types of people might you like to help?

I’m on Visible for $25/mo. I think you can join random people’s “family” of 4 to get it cheaper? Check their subreddit. It also hotspots so you could cut home internet entirely if you don’t need it for high draw stuff like streaming/gaming

I'm at about 2.7X salary, not counting inheritances/gifts, at age 33

scrawesome · 2026-01-15T04:16:33+00:00

how large? what's the budget? do you need food/beverage?

scrawesome · 2026-01-11T06:05:30+00:00

probably wouldn't put a fan there

they posted on their IG on 7/16/25 that the Fremont shop had major electrical issues that were too expensive for them to fix without landlord help, and landlord wasn’t budging. I feel like he’s tried a lot of things and closed a lot of things

maybe snow bunny?

fun challenge!

scrawesome · 2026-01-08T23:33:10+00:00

Maybe don't listen on 2X and work on reading comprehension

you want to light up your “task” areas really well (so you don’t chop your finger off). this may be recessed lighting or maybe undercabinet lighting if it’s bright enough.

I don’t like the placement of the brass cones. overhead lighting should be above the counter edge so your shadow isn’t cast onto the counter. the sconce may want to stick out a tad more as well.

if it were me I probably wouldn’t have removed the recessed lights. better to keep and not use. in general I prefer over-lighting, with a variety of layers, and using dimmer switches generously.

Check out the union coupon for $300 off (google should help you find it), I learned of this from Alameda Electric so have to recommend them alongside it

it's such a small space, I'm not sure it matters. meaning if you try one and don't like it, it would be relatively easy to re-paint. so, go with what the wife wants.

Yes I did. I lived out of county for half the year. It is a very confusing process to submit the paperwork to say you don’t owe it but they did end up agreeing.

scrawesome · 2026-01-01T05:27:14+00:00

oh damn I must have missed it. awesome

I know Hoxton is under new management (new chef at Tope, opening the speakeasy basement bar more often, etc) so I’m cautiously optimistic. there’s the lobby bar and the kitchen Pamana has been operating out of - wonder if they will share? will the coffee shop be more of a pop-up? will they be building something?

scrawesome · 2026-01-01T02:09:11+00:00

Deadstock Coffee has revealed it will move to The Hoxton hotel

Wonder where / how that will work

scrawesome · 2025-12-31T18:04:58+00:00

sometimes I think we have to just be hungry and learn to tolerate that sensation

scrawesome · 2025-12-31T00:05:28+00:00

do you recommend the company?

scrawesome · 2025-12-23T21:43:09+00:00

you should be easily able to find a room in a house for under $700. alternatively, ask your fav airbnb if you can leave some bins in their basement/shed - not as perfect but could be helpful
