It does look really tasty though.

It’s definitely not like Katz level oversized but the picture actually does it a bit of a disservice. The other side was kind of overflowing with meat lol.

Ooof! I believe it's a test car though, so I guess it's ok.

It’s called Gunther’s.

+1 for Gunther's! Used to go there for breakfast, another place for killer corned beef hash (Village Inn cafe in Orinda is still my go-to place tho)

Anyone use Tidal for streaming? Looking to switch up from Pandora One.

I don't remember where but I read the other day that Tidal might be closing down next year. Just in case you're seriously considering it.

Dude, it's ridiculous. I wish I'd known about this place sooner! I think part of the problem was up till this year I never had a car so it wasn't super convenient to get around to a place like this.

It's a bit pricey, but from the first visit I'm sure it won't be my last.

Interested in hearing how Tidal is now. I only used it for a couple of months when it first launched. I usually switch between music streaming providers (Spotify, Soundcloud, Pandora, Apple, etc) every month or so because I get bored of what's available in their inventory.

I'm on Google play, wasn't happy with Spotify app on Android and YouTube is ad free as a bonus.

Interesting. I like how the family plan lets up to 6 people too vs. $5/extra person on Spotify. Might have to try the free trial

Apparently this is a thing (custom Tesla P90D Shooting Brake, lol):

Thanks for all the thoughts on streaming services. I actually forgot about di.fm and it might be right up my alley since it's so electronic focused.

Whatever I choose, Pandora One has gotta go - it keeps playing the same songs over and over.

Eh, i like the idea but could've been better executed imho. Too many straight edges and looks a little "tacked on" with no transitions with the body lines. Makes it look like a hurst instead of a shooting brake (besides, wouldn't this be considered a "wagon"? I thought the term "shooting brake" was specifically for 2-doors with a rear hatch?)

Totally agree. And yes, a shooting brake is a 2 door.

Does anyone have any experience with home (outdoor) surveillance systems?
