Bay area, and same. I miss four seasons (Virginia is closest I’ve been so mild winters). The housing market, politics, and long term climate prospects of the northeast make it pretty damn appealing.

I’ve done it 7 or 8 times, I just ask if it’s possible to opt out. Never had an issue.

That sucks. I’ve never had an issue opting out after finding out it’s possible, maybe done it 7 or 8 times. I smile and ask “is it possible to opt out of that?”

I’m curious if something would happen if they told you no, when you do in fact have that right. I’m so anxious when I’m there (about nothing, just an anxious guy) that if they told me I couldn’t opt out I’d just fall in and let the thing scan me.

Came here looking for this

Off topic, but how do you like graphene? I am thinking of making the switch on a pixel 7a, but I have a fear it’ll be like having Linux on my phone where things randomly don’t work and then I have the hobby where I make it work

I used to do a lot of jiu jitsu and the gear gets so sweaty and gross beyond belief and it gets a permanent funk. I tried everything to get it out, but here’s the distilled formula. Sometimes… stuff is beyond repair

• Use less detergent. Counterintuitive, I know. But this actually made a difference. Something about extra soap staying on clothes and bacteria growing? I always thought more soap = more clean = more clean smell, but this did seem to make a difference. If they instantly stink once they get wet, this could be your issue.
• oxiclean odor blaster. Soak the clothes in it as per the directions for a couple hours, then throw a little in the wash.
• quarter cup of white vinegar in the fabric softener (more is not better) and an extra rinse after.
• consider small amt of borax in the wash
• line drying in the sun

Why I’m here (first comment yay)
