As with my examples above (linen and dishwashing) ice machines are also notoriously difficult/expensive. They most certainly have to be cleaned & serviced regularly. When the Board of Health comes in, the ice machine is one the fir

It’s very common to rent a dishwasher. High volume dishwashers break down all the time and need very regular servicing and cleaning. At every establishment I have been associated with (wine industry) I’ve been on a first name basis with my

At least in California, restaurant and bar licenses are separate. Restaurants have to prove that a certain percentage of their sales are food related; otherwise you can’t allow anyone under 21 into the establishment.

They aren’t super difficult? Teachers, nurses, firemen, and police officers would like to have a word with you. Programming may be mathematically complex and difficult to learn, but it does not corner the market on difficulty. Try adapting

You were technically in the wrong considering that California stops are never actually legal, but it is extremely reckless to ride at 15mph on the sidewalk, especially if you’re barreling through intersections AND “salmoning” aka riding aga

There are more than a few varieties of regulations in the alcohol business. It’s such a jumbled mess, especially for interstate commerce. Check out freethegrapes.org, they are an industry advocacy group and are sure to have an ongoing lobby

Yeah Pisgah and DuPont are awesome. Lots of miles of fun out there. It’s also not inconceivable.... especially now that both my MTB buddy (and best friend) and I are both unemployed. One of the reasons I live where I do is access to the San

What spot are you looking at? Asking as a mountain biker. Itching to get out on a road trip once it’s possible.

Return it to who? If you saw someone drop it, sure. If you know the owner of the hundred dollar bill, sure. But otherwise? I think you just have an odd definition of theft. From Merriam Webster: 1. a : the act of stealing specifically : the

Do you mean 2-3 weeks behind in testing capability? Santa Clara County was the first in the nation to go under SIP protocols officially.

Starting a restaurant to get rich is dumb. Starting a restaurant because you think your great grandmothers naan is superior is not dumb. Neither is it dumb to start a restaurant because you love feeding people, or a bike shop because you lo

As a minimalist, if you’re stressing out about whether you own too many things, you’re missing the point entirely. Does that bring you right to the same place as a maximalist- do I have enough?/do I have too much?

You won’t see them while you’re hiking, because you’re making lots of noise and likely not out at the right times. Hunting , especially primitive hunting, is usually either lots of traps and snares or lots and lots of waiting.

Even better, thanks for the clarification!

Thanks! I love words, and Mängelexemplar is a great one. You used it to basically mean a beat up used copy, if I’m understanding correctly.

How was the book faulty? That’s not an adjective I’ve ever heard ascribed to a book before.

Yeah, I was laid off 3/20 (California) and applied immediately. Got a confirmation number but still haven’t heard anything else. The site was already bugging out and I made it in before the majority of people.

Good for you. I doubt anyone is asking for your pity.

This might win the award for most out of touch comment today on HN. No, many people do not have enough in savings to survive a year without cash flow. I do not believe this is unique to the US. Yes, health care is largely tied to your job i

Amazon was one of the original “disrupters”, taking out regular retail by not charging sales tax for the first decade of its existence. One might argue this gave them an unfair advantage over conventional retail, allowing them to gain a foo

I just got laid off for the first time in a decade, and I’m itching to get out on a long backpacking trip. Having to stay inside is driving me nuts right now!

I would assume this discussion is centered on coastal American cities, where Airbnbs routinely cost well over your monthly cost per night, plus cleaning fees etc. I don’t know where you are or what average rental price is in your area, but

Simple- people other than you enjoy going to restaurants and find value in them.

“Richer” is an interesting word here, with the connotations to food and pleasure. I, for one, would not find a world of robot restaurants to be a “richer” experience.

I’m in the exact same boat. I’ve never done so much reading and research to do nothing before.

Well that’s just like, your opinion, man. For what it’s worth, it’s not my favorite of his books. But I did think the discussion of anti-facial recognition clothing and personally curated news/data streams was interesting and germane t

You could read it yourself and form an opinion. I quite liked it. I know lots of people disparage Stephenson for going on tangents, but I read quickly and don’t mind them. Anathem and the Baroque Cycle are my favorites.
