@[email protected] haha wait famous? do you mean bob's? I like them but famous seems like kind of a stretch

@[email protected] @[email protected] this is it, pretty much, at least for vegan dim sum. I would love to know about more but I think even @[email protected] came up empty on vegan options in sf

the hardest thing in the world, apparent;y, is getting people to go with you to vegan dim sum in san francisco

@[email protected] a cortado comes from "to cut", the origins are slightly different but not unrelated

I think I understand the affection people have for winamp, and being able to customize it or whatever. but I really don't give a shit what my music player looks like, I don't want to look at it at all more than I have to

but a music library catalog thing, that accepts the music I already have? and can play stuff in whatever order including weird algorithmic things I come up with? and keeps track of what I listen to in a normal and private way? and doesn't expire or charge a monthly fee? sign me up

ipods? iphones? not really more convenient, I feel like I would rather have a dedicated mostly-nonsmart mp3 player at this point, ideally one that takes aa batteries

bluetooth? like, headphone wires are fine, I don't know why companies are hellbent on getting rid of wires unless it means they can sell you something to replace them

oh, wait

music subscriptions? get the fuck out of here, you have sold me the same record three times already, I am not going to pay for it in perpetuity

the last music technological thing that made my music listening experience more convenient in any meaningful way was itunes honestly, and you can take that to the bank

@[email protected] fuck, that is a tragedy. what's possibly just as wild is that there used to be an almost equally as busy place almost across the street, asia garden, where we would go if the wait for hk tea house was too long

@[email protected] I really miss the hong kong tea house, which used to be on pacific @ stockton. the building is still there but the restaurant is long gone. it was super busy in a way I never see dim sum restaurants get any more, there was always a wait to get in and there was a guy out front barking out numbers for people waiting for tables. and zillions of carts

@[email protected] it also seems like this is in part a promotion for seafood watch, I haven't been following too closely but it was a tricky thing to recommend for a while

@[email protected] interesting that they don't mention brine shrimp or small invertebrates, we used to produce a lot of those in house for the smaller fish

@[email protected] anyway it's no monterey bay but it is fun to actually feel like you know what you are talking about in some weird cross section of industries

@[email protected] a lot of the fish feed stuff comes from specific vendors but a lot of it does not and it's the same herring you would get in a restaurant (if restaurants actually served herring, which they do only rarely)

@[email protected] when I used to volunteer at cal academy I helped with the penguin feed, it's funny being on the consumer side of an industry I worked in for so long, in a lot of ways it's like selling food to restaurants, except in the ways it's not. they even bought some stuff from people I used to work with/for

@[email protected] in that case, awesome! I don't think I can see edits tho

@[email protected] wondering if you meant covid-cautious above but if not I am intrigued what covid-curious would mean in this context

@[email protected] lying about homelessness that is
