Builder Resources in SF is quite a bit more reasonable, but prepare yourself for a bit more of tweaker/ghetto vibe.
- blacksmith_tb 2y agoSad to hear that, when I lived in SF in the late 90s it was a fun field trip to take my bike on BART and ride to Urban Ore. Back then it wasn't too spendy, and there were fun weird tech items, I have a massive machined knob I picked up there I have always meant to stick a Teensy etc. in to make it into a usb device... one of these days...
