I’ve used oat milk for like a decade in my coffee. Some brands are more watery and no good. Look for ones that say barista blend, they are thicker and creamier. I use califa farms as that is what is at my store but I think oatly has one too.

I’ll still drink half and half on occasion but stick with oat milk at home because it lasts longer after opening and I only use a splash in my coffee.

I do this at home and work. My running joke is “its about the journey, not the destination.” I’ve gotten my coworkers to believe in that approach too, so now everyone says that about a failed project. At the end of the day you probably learned something failing and that’s a win in my book.

I love to see it because all the idiots in their gas guzzling, coal rolling trucks get hit way harder than I do.

Well he did catch JD and the papal couch in a comprising position. Its enough to fracture even the strongest hearts.

I listen to NPR or most of my driving I can get a tiny local station Cavern FM which plays obscure rock music from around the globe. You can listen online here. https://www.cavern.fm/

And they will still push ahead with it.

I never know what people mean by sedentary lifestyle but I have been getting more exercise since it started and it hasn’t helped.

Know anything about a kinda dull pain in the sternum that comes and goes, which lasts a week or month, then is gone for a few weeks or months before it comes back. Has been going on for a few years at this point. Got all kinds of scans and tests done the first year but everything showed normal. I at least don’t think I’m gonna die anymore but it sucks.

I’m not sure how it got implemented in LA or Hoboken but vision zero in pdx is so poorly thought out. I think we have ~50 traffic fatalities a year. I think ~35 are homeless related and they don’t give a fuck about anything when they cross the road. Traffic calming measures aren’t fixing that. More resources to help the unhoused might. The next ~10 are cause by poor lighting and street racing which can be fixed but aren’t addressed well if at all in our plan. The last 0-5 are ones that would legitimately be solved by some traffic calming. We’ve spent all our money trying to implement traffic calming when that would only fix 10% of the fatalities and nothing on addressing the root causes of 90% of the fatalities. So since implementing vision zero deaths have gone up and traffic has gotten worse.

Edit. I guess I haven’t looked at the data in a few years and it has gotten better since 2023. The first few years of the plan fatalities were going up each year. Unhoused deaths in particular have gotten much better going from accounting for 74% of the fatalities down to 20%.

I’m not sure if it would help me for instance. Every male on one side of the family has hearing loss. I seem to have the least loss in my generation with almost none in one ear and the other working okay in low freq but pretty much nothing above 500 Hz. So its definitely genetic but I’ve never been tested for this gene. Would get a shot in my bad ear if it meant I could hear better though.

That’s the meta game we play.
