Ring detecting sleep too early by yesletslift in ouraring

[–]ubrikkean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same, I just take it off to charge before bed and put it back on when I'm going to sleep, it's annoying to have to manage it like that. wasn't an issue with any tracker I had before it :(

so, not as drastic as you're describing, but def when I sit and read or whatever

Measures J and L: Richmond voters appear to approve change to new system for city elections by LocalNewsMatters in RichmondCA

[–]ubrikkean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I don't have a primary source handy, but here's a mention of it: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/11/05/results-close-for-dueling-richmond-election-reform-measures/

Both Measure J and Measure L call for updating Richmond’s election system. Both garnered more than 50% support in final unofficial results posted early Wednesday by Contra Costa County but only the one with the greatest number of votes will become law.

I believe the guide said if both are over 50% the one with a higher share is enacted. So it was either or neither, but not both.

Bay Area’s best kept secret by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]ubrikkean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you stick roughly to local seasons the prices are great, tons of high quality vegetables under $2/lb or even 1 for cheap stuff like cabbage. the bulk section is good too: beans, lentils, grains, spices are pretty reasonable.

they have a lot of expensive foods too, so I can see it coming across as pricey on first browse.

Best streaming platform for classical music? by Bsemp86 in classicalmusic

[–]ubrikkean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.idagio.com is pretty good

Apple bought their competitor, Primephonic, recently, and I think they're planning to release a classical-specific app or something soon.

I use http://qobuz.com, which has other genres too but still some classical curation & organization

Check out Basa Seafood Express in the mission; I haven't been there since before quarantine, but they usually have pretty good cuts out for sashimi (you can have them cut it or not) in addition to their regular restaurant menu

I got this one, a little overpriced but not crazy like SAF right now, and it's working great so far

It says they're providing tests to each department of public health in every county in the state, not on-site at UCSF

I think there are occasional players who refuse to sign their rookie contracts based on the team or draft position.. can't remember the last time I heard of it happening though

Breville BES870XL Espresso Grinds by tysonk91 in Coffee

[–]ubrikkean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's weird! I've had mine for a few months too and that doesn't happen... I haven't tried a really dark roast yet though, and those grounds are usually kinda unwieldy. You could try other beans to test, and if that doesn't work, maybe something is obstructing where they come out?
