WTF-Beta

Bought a cone from an ice cream truck out of desperation on a miserably hot day last summer. But I didn’t take note of the name. There’s another company around here named Lickety Split.

Yes, Dolmansaxlil thanks for sticking with us in spite of Trump.

And maybe more exemptions. Guess a few days of a tanking market

Oopsie.

She’s an idiot.

Looks like you’d need to sell the furnishings along with the house, because what else would work there?

Big house, small piano.
At least it’s a Steinway.

Piqué, on the subject of Buy Nothing groups, I found that (at least around here) they are HYPER local. So local, that on this island of about 490,000 people the groups are only about a few blocks in size...even smaller than what I would call a neighborhood. It might be hard to find what you want, or find a taker for what you have. Often you have to extend your reach farther than that. So examine the geographical breadth of your various local groups. You may also find that some groups are not called Buy Nothing, but have some different name, and different rules.

Has anyone seen whether Friday’s no-buying effort has had any effect?

Piqué — this sounds similar to those ancient monastic brewers in Belgium. The yeasts lived in those caves for centuries and the beer can’t really be replicated elsewhere. Although there are similar beers in that style that are very good.

Why is SF sourdough so prized? Is it the starter? After all, good sourdough is not hard to find elsewhere.

Ah yes! Lived there in the 1970s and still have fond memories.

Very carefully calibrated waistbands.

I’m in. I have a couple of doctor appointments Friday, but no plans to buy anything. If something needs buying, it will be from a local, non-chain store.

Very cool!

Synaesthesia in composers is interesting to me. Scriabin is the prime example. But it seems to me that their music has to make sense on the purely auditory level (for the non-synaesthete); the color associations are inconsequential.

Our heavily-modified Victorian has 4, if you count the cooking hearth in the basement. Only one of these works (we did use it for a time) but the flue would need cleaning and maybe re-lining at this point to avoid fire hazards.

Good news!

Didn’t read it all, but sounds like good tips over all.

Hopefully improved resolution

Sorry, that page didn’t reproduce well. Thought I had deleted it, hoping to try again later.
