  • It's one of the reasons I hate having one person cook and the other clean --- the incentives are misaligned, and it just breeds bad habits and reckless cooking IMHO. If you do both cooking and cleaning, you'll hopefully learn to clean as you go.

  • Here's January of this year. San Francisco, so pretty moderate weather --- typically don't run heat during the day, and low 60s at night (if at all) during the winter. Large temperature gradient throughout house, typically.

    South facing windows gives kitchen and living room a greenhouse effect, particularly in the winter, hence the large daily temperature swings:

  • We're expecting a baby. Do people travel with a baby? Is it safe? Is it insane? I think we're just gonna have to stay put for 3 years or so.

    If your baby isn't super fussy, the transportation difficulty (in our experience) is more in the logistics getting to/from airport, and dealing with other ground transportation. We just flew 5+hrs (coast to coast, US) with a 2mo and a ~3yo, and it was a piece of cake (typing that, I've jinxed the return flight...).

    We haven't done international travel with our kids yet, but we will eventually. When I was 2 my family went to Europe --- some countries were meh with respect to kids, but Italy (from my folks' retelling) was fantastic, as there is (or was) a big cultural love for young kids.

    YMMV of course, but it's absolutely doable! Kids --- even starting as babies --- have personalities, and you'll get a sense of what's appropriate with yours. Good luck!

  • You're just gatekeeping.

    ThinkPad with a generator? Nothing wrong with that --- maybe add LoRa, get a ham license and add some packet radio or digital modes and you have a neat disaster setup.

    MacBook that you don't want to scuff? Well, I'm not that precious with my gear, but you do you. Many Mac laptops last a very long time, and the performance of modern Apple silicon is really, really impressive --- and you have UNIX out of the box. Plenty for a tech enthusiast to like.

  • A lot of non-graphical utilities --- basically the *NIX coreutils, plus stuff like rsync, ssh, compression/archival tools (tar, gzip, bzip2, etc.), grep, and the like. Git also comes to mind.

    I think part of this is that the UNIX philosophy is "developer friendly" --- tell a good dev they need to make a compression utility that follows this protocol, and they will make a compression utility that follows the protocol.

  • Your local city college may or may not offer free classes (in San Francisco, you just need to show proof that you live in the city with some legal status).

    Some public transportation is free for certain groups (youth and folks experiencing homelessness can get free passes here).

    "First X of the month" at the zoo/a museum/whatever --- lots of venues have free events.

    A jog, bike ride, hike --- lots of great stuff outside!

  • You ever been to a city that's not San Francisco?

    Of course; my point was never that it's a ubiquitous practice in the US, only that it definitely exists in places.

    One that's newer?

    Sure (Seattle is newer, for instance), but that's obviously not what you mean.

    I think we're talking about different types of cities --- new, rural, small incorporated cities are certainly very different than "capital C" Cities. I'm guessing this is the real distinction that we're talking about..

  • It's not all bad --- remote work policy is now a major topic. You'd be laughed out of any number of job interviews for asking about remote work policy, whereas now it's a completely fair question.
