You know what really grinds my gears...
Runways. Got it, important tip. Thanks, Egon.

I remember that he had a show called that, but I don't remember anything else about it. Like, was he a weather man or a private investigator or the ghost of a mob accountant trying to right the misdeeds of his life. Either way I'm sure hijinks ensued.

Also, I might be waaaaaaaay out of touch here, but I don't think there's an innocuous way to use the word 'hot' when describing a woman you don't know to their face. Esp one who makes a living basically navigating from unsolicited hit-on to unsolicited hit-on. (Whether they're actually hot or not, b...

Have you ever had vinho verde before? It's lightly carbonated. It's a slightly lower ABV than other wines and its green-ness made for a decent replacement for botanical spirits, so I thought it was actually a great ingredient for shim cocktails. Our whole European vacation last year was initially pr...

I don't even like baseball and I had a great time there; we walked to one of the games from our apartment. Cable cars are a surprisingly useful things. And yes, the main east-west route is California St, and the Powell St line takes you over the hill from Market to the Wharf. Pro tip: Don't get on a...

Imo the food and wine culture of Spain is unmatched for the symbiotic diversity of flavors and styles. So if you have access to a store that has a Spain section, shop there. That's probably the easiest suggestion.

A dry bubbly is a fantastically diverse pairing option. The closest to real O-negative wines (universal pairing) I could suggest would be a Riesling in an Old World style (e.g. not sugary sweet) or a Pinot Noir. It's hard to make suggestions at the level of a grape variety, but that's a usually soli...

Unless you’re a Stern fan, I don’t know why anybody would pay for radio instead of one of the many streaming services where you can actually listen to whatever you want to on demand. It's a function of data rates. How do you pull the streaming content out of the sky? If you have an unlimited plan*,...

I've been seeing it for a week now that Se2 was in the works, but everyone kept citing to the same Deadspin story that just said Sanada-san has signed a new deal. The Variety reporting makes a lot more sense.

Is it like seatbelt laws when they first went into effect? You couldn't be pulled over just for not having your belt on, but if you got pulled over for (say) speeding they could tack on a fine for the belt.

Lots of SF has simply not recovered from the pandemic, many shuttered businesses. So bear that in mind. Japantown is near Hayes Valley and Civic Center. If we were younger and dogless and interested in apartment renting we probably would've wanted to live near there. So many excellent restaurants. P...

So they took their stadium plan - including the physical design that was meant to offer curated views of downtown SF - and moved it to rec...
