America's Test Kitchen has a bunch of reviews

Edit: as others have said, look at restaurant supply stores in your area. Besides stainless, I'd also recommend carbon steel or cast iron since you're looking for durability and food safety.

Good luck finding a parking space.

Average US parking space according to wikipedia is 8.5 to 9 ft wide. The Escalade IQL is 85 inches (7.1ft) wide with mirrors folded. That gives you 1.5 to 2 feet of space total (not on each side), so you'd probably have to trap your passengers just for the driver's side to get out in many situations like strip malls, movie theaters, hotels, parking garages that were designed for normal sized vehicles. (For comparison a Toyota Corolla is 5.8ft wide would have about 3 feet of space). Expect a lot of dinged doors and door dinging.

This is the planet wide equivalent of the microwave interfering with the wifi signal.

My challenge is getting the seeds to sprout when I try to do the same. Indoors is still too cold for sprouting so I'm going to try a heating pad next year.

Not required. SF does have an ordinance to cover some costs depending on the number of employees. But its not some nationwide law.

If you're a fancy tech bro in SF all your costs are covered, health/dental/vision/life insurance, commuting stipend or govt subsidized account you get to put pre-tax money in and the company might match, matching contributions for your retirement 401K. The techbro class doesn't care about the cost of BART, many of them take an UBER for 3-4x the BART faire and not bat and eye at the bill (or use the company UBER account for free). If you're just some random minimum wage worker, you'd be lucky to live within an hour or two commute of SF and afford housing.

Imagine working minimum wage in SF and commuting in by BART + BUS / MUNI Lightrail / CALTRAIN / FERRY. Gotta work at least 2 hours just to cover the costs of your commute every day.

 

Climate change is commonly treated as a single, global problem that needs to be "solved." This mindset may have been appropriate in the past, but at 1.5°C above the preindustrial average, it's clear that we are not going to solve climate change. Everyone is going to live in a changed and changing climate for centuries to come. In this powerful keynote session, Spencer Glendon, founder of Probable Futures, will show how essential it is to make adaptation a priority and how doing so can lead to stronger institutions, healthier communities, better food, and even more effective decarbonization. Whether you are interested in housing, transportation, water, insurance, community organizing, fruit, or any other aspect of society, this session will give you frameworks, tools, and examples to help you see the world around you more clearly and make better decisions.
