Shot in the dark, but maybe !bayarea@lemmy.world has someone more knowledgeable about that vicinity.

Best bet is probably craft cocktail bars.

Just start bar hopping and have a shot of Fernet if they don't have malort. That's the delicacy we're known for anyway.

Oof, I'm a good hour plus away with any traffic. You can definitely find it in bars though!

I'm always down for shots of malort.

The juice? Easily. I got my last bottle at a total wine.

The poster ... No idea.

The roughly battery shaped Duracell logo is a nice touch.

My favorite part about that pencil grip is that no one who tries to catalog the ways you can hold a pencil seems to understand it.

I used this one in the 3rd grade or so as a way to weird out my teacher who was a pencil stickler and would correct our grip constantly. And to give my poor middle finger callous a break during all the standardized tests.

I can empathize. I went back to work a month ago now. It was/is hard to be unavailable.

Luckily, I work from home in a fairly independent role and my wife is still on leave, so we're still largely co-parenting. We could afford to have me stay at home, but we're saying that the extra I make above the truly wild cost of daycare will go to his education, financial security, and cultural enrichment.

We're also telling ourselves that daycare will be a positive/important social experience for him because we have a small friend group locally and family is halfway across the US.

Hah, is fine. No I didn't feel "cool." I'm just the kind of weirdo that was obsessed with guns from a technical point of view as a kid. Think of me more as the kid just slightly on the spectrum who collected data on everything firearm related and then wrote mods for games like rogue spear that tried to adhere to the data. I didn't shoot more than a .22 rifle or 16 and 12 gauge shotguns until my 20s. This was one of the factoids I still have floating around up there.

Now in my 40s, I still haven't owned a gun personally, but have been to the range many times with friends (I buy more ammo than I shoot and drinks after). Heck, a few weeks ago I got to put a hundred rounds or so through a friend's suppressed FN P90 (a very surreal experience), a very nice .223, and pistols in 4 calibers (.22 and 9mm with suppressors, .45, and .357).

.40 S&W and 10mm auto are both 10mm rounds!

Or her job!

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson

Nonetheless, I agree with the sentiment.

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Anyone else spending their weekend with the Sonoma action?

I've been jumping between the feeds for all the races/qualifying today. The Toyota GR Cup was particularly fun to watch. The new McLaren series seems like it could shape up pretty well too!

Got the uppers painted and installed.

Time to find some MDF for the face frame, drawer fronts, and shelves. Which reminds me, I need a router bit for the integrated drawer pulls she wants.

 

My first project is really coming together!

Built a set of drawers cabinets to my wife's specs for the closet. Still have uppers, face frame and overlay fronts to do, but the garage was too full to keep going.

4ft (122cm) tall bank of drawers with full extension soft close undermount slides. 88in.(222cm) wide.

Feel free to make fun of the 2x4 toe kick! Rest assured I've learned my lesson.

All cuts made with my portable DeWalt table saw after breaking down sheets with my Ryobi circular saw and a harbor freight clamp as an edge guide.

 

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
