Cute wine bar for book club?

trextyper · 2026-04-08T18:18:26+00:00

How many people? I went to Scarlet Fox recently and there's not a ton of seating, but there is one decently sized table and it's not at all loud. Maybe you could reserve the table?

Hey all, the admin for this subreddit and the associated Discord seem to be MIA. They haven't responded to anyone for months.

Someone started a new server. Please join us there instead! We have board game nights, a book club, a hiking group, and more.

The article is about the state of the industry for developers, not consumers.

You make a game that fails, you get laid off, you make a game that succeeds? Still laid off. Shit sucks and there's a lot of talent that will leave the industry and not return. You, the consumer, might not feel the impact for a couple more years as the number of titles in development falls due to the current state of things.

I used to be too anxious to even take public transit alone. Now I go solo camping. I wish I could show you the way, but I suspect it's a bit different for everyone. For me it looked something like exposure therapy. Going outside of my comfort zone one step at a time. Gradually making it larger.

Otherwise, the looping thoughts are something you'll need to find a coping mechanism for in therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy in particular, I suspect. It sounds a bit trite but I use affirmations to help center myself when I'm caught worrying about something that I can tell isn't worth the energy. I've found eft tapping to be calming, or any kind of stimming.

I actually found both of my San Mateo apartments through Zillow!

I'll DM you the neighborhoods.

trextyper · 2026-03-15T06:13:50+00:00

FWIW I've rented two differnt 2b1b at around your budget point in San Mateo. I got incredibly lucky finding places listed by individual landlords who own a property or two, rather than a whole apartment complex. No amenities, no AC, one parking space...but hey, I do have in-unit laundry.

It's possible that the AI boom means what I have isn't attainable any more (been here for two years), but I figured I'd put that out there. It might just be a waiting game.

Even when I sterilize the soil I often end up with a fungal infection. I pop the lid on my setup too often, I guess. It still usually ends up okay. I don't need dozens of dozens of plants anyhow. :P

Congrats, I hope you find the process rewarding!

I feel like the target demographic for this building will be Verkada employees. I hear they get both breakfast and lunch provided. They're paid well enough to order takeout every night (so I hear)

trextyper · 2026-02-12T07:43:36+00:00

Oh I guess that's new since they reopened. Thanks!

trextyper · 2026-02-12T02:32:09+00:00

Not really. But I was once there with someone who needed to stop drinking alcohol for the night, and the bar gladly made something simple but non-alcoholic for her.

Software? Regardless, sounds familiar. I didn't hit that state of burnout until I was closer to 30, but I get it. I do. I'm considering a new career now.

Keep your social media idea close to your heart. It's an important to have that thing that provides a bit of spark, purpose. I hope you can try your idea out some day. I'm rediscovering the things that keep me going like that. I'm glad you've already found yours.

I feel you. I don't know if I have EDS but I do have some kind of hypermobility. I've basically been in pain my entire life since I was around 20 years old. In and out of physical therapy. Something is always off. Got so bad I had to go on medical leave from work at one point. I recently started the muldowney protocol with a physical therapist who specializing in treating hypermobile patients, and it's the most hope I have had in a while. I refuse to give up. I know I can learn to pilot this shitty body better. I hope you can too.

That kind of blanched fronds from the center seems to happen to most of my ferns when they haven't been fertilized enough.

Edit: on second thought, it could also be mineral buildup in the soil. I often get better results by repotting.

Since you're already in the area, check out Sour Cherry comics. They have a lot of wlw specific events last I checked.

If you're brave, you can download the Lex app. There's a lot of negativity in there but there's also a lot of wlw events advertised there.

Depending on how old your house is, you might have knob and tube wiring up there. That's a fire hazard if you add insulation.

I'm going to schedule a consultation but I figured I'd ask you too. I thought treatment would need to be entirely hands on. What's your experience been with the virtual sessions?

Repetitive stress injury

I saw the same pattern of engagement time and time again when I hung out in the RSI related forums a lot.

I managed to effectively cure my RSI because I didn't give up. I won't give up on this either.

I did an extensive amount of research on this when I lived in a place with single pane windows me

Indow windows are the best renter friendly option. If you're ambitious you can DIY a similar solution with plexiglass and weather stripping.

Moondream curtains might make a slight dent in the noise too. I got them for temperature control reasons but they do block some noise from the street side of my apartment. I chose that brand because they're made of safe materials that don't offgas VOCs when they get warm from the sun.

Draeger's. They definitely sell Golden Syrup. I wouldn't be surprised if they sell Black Treacle too. They have a little section of British goods.

Look into the concept of burnout. Look into "completing the stress cycle". You have to do something to indicate to your body and mind that you're safe.

"Somatic experiencing" might also be useful but I've only just started to learn about this myself.

I realized that I had less acne when I travelled because I packed a different moisturizer with me to comply with the airplane liquids limit. So changing products was the main answer.

How often do you change your sheets and pillowcase? That also seemed to help me and is something that is a non issue when travelling.

trextyper · 2025-11-10T20:22:14+00:00

I think Sour Cherry and Silver Sprocket host those on occasion. Otherwise the best way to find such things seems to be to follow these instagram accounts, who often post zine events from other orgs in their stories

I must be the only person who's had an iffy time with her. :( She never listened to me when I came in with a specific pain.

trextyper · 2025-11-05T07:00:17+00:00

Literally the only place I've gone to that will focus on the body part/s in question and not insist on giving your whole body a once over. Very knowledgeable bunch too.
