K10 Daily Driver

[Nelida]

DavidJablons and Tamara Hicks brought Daily Driver to life, harboring a desire to bring nourishing, quality versions of the products they longed for in San Francisco. They scouted and planned, watching innovative change come to the neighboring Dogpatch community.

The family-owned American Industrial Center (AIC) in SF has welcomed and supported makers for over 30 years. In a 7,200 square foot garment reconstruction workshop; they underwent a year and a half tenant improvement project, completely repurposing the space to include the first urban creamery in San Francisco, a full service kitchen, an exposed open floor plan bagel bakery, a coffee roastery and a 2700 square foot mezzanine for patrons.

Every product at Daily Driver is made with care and integrity, and the love put into the labor of these items is evident in their taste. The kitchen and overall operations are overseen by Marty Siggins, Managing Partner, who along with our bakery and creamery leadership keeps the shop operating like a well oiled machine. Every member of the team, from dishwashers to delivery drivers to front of house staff, is an essential part of the Daily Driver experience.

Productivity apps like Things, 2Do, and Omnifocus are designed for the entire GTD workflow. I find them much more useful for long-term storage of sometimes/maybe tasks, while I keep my daily task list much lighter and more nimble. I describe the long-term storage system in more detail a bit farther down this post.

I do include a note below about how you can modify the system and use a digital notebook (like Bear, Agenda, or Evernote) instead. But I encourage you to go physical if you want the full benefit of the system.

Turn to the next clean two pages and write the month and year at the top of each page. On the left side, write the numbers one through [however many days are in the month]. Next to them, write a letter for the day of the month: M T W T F S S.

As you work throughout the day, put an X through a bullet point as a task is completed. Add additional tasks as they come up, keeping in mind that you should complete tasks that are less than two minutes immediately rather than writing them down.

In order to make this a passive system, all your events should have an alert. For meetings, a ten- to fifteen-minute warning works well. If you want to downgrade a credit card before paying the annual fee, an alert a week or two out may be better suited. For a movie/TV Show/video game release date, setting an alert for the morning of release is great.

If this is your first time setting up a long-term storage system for your brain, set aside a good chunk of time. Thirty minutes to an hour is probably sufficient, but you may need more depending on the number of different things your brain is holding.

These items will most likely be a mix of tasks (actual action items) or projects (larger goals that require multiple action items to execute). Flesh out and organize this Area as much as possible, breaking down all projects into specific next-steps, and organizing any tasks into larger projects as needed.

Additionally, a digital calendar will keep you on schedule throughout the day. Your calendar will have date- and time-specific tasks and events, and alerts will notify you throughout the day when there is something needing your attention.

I wore these for a week as I walked, biked, trammed and trained around the whole of Amsterdam. They were the most comfortable, functional, and practical (and can I say just darn good looking) pants I have worn. The zip pockets and the magnetic buckle are now my new standard in pants and shorts.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellency. DWR is a coating applied to fabrics to make them water-resistant (hydrophobic). It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface of the material, rather than soaking into the fabric. We use PFAS free DWR in all our pants.

The design is the same.

The major difference is they are constructed of two different fabrics. 91% Polyester and 9 % spandex in the Daily Drivers compared to 88% Nylon and 12% Spandex in the Lightweights.

The Lightweight fabric has our Long Lasting Bug Repellency where the Daily Drivers have DWR Durable Water Repellency instead. These differences translate to the Daily Drivers being softer and a more regular weight of fabric for all 4 seasons where the Lightweight Traveler Pants are primarily a 3 season pant perfect for those hot jungle destinations.

The hidden drawstring provides additional security those that need it. If you find you don't use it, its very easy to remove. Just pull it through and find a creative use for it. (Casey used one as a tie for a sleeping pad after losing a stuff sack)

HANG DRY ONLY - the magnet will stick to the dryer and could potential rip out. Luckily, they'll dry just as fast as a load in the dryer.

Wash with any regular load.

Steam if needed but do not iron.

I ordered these to be able to wear primarily at the office but also to potentially wear on the trail. So far they are very comfortable for the office and I'm looking forward to trying them on my next trail adventure. According to the sizing chart, I ordered a 32-inch waist, but they seem a bit looser than I'd like for hiking. They will work in the office as the string built into the waistband helps, but I'm not sure how they'll do on the trail. In the future, I will probably try and drop down a size to a 30-inch waist. The inseam was spot on based on the sizing chart.

Bought a pair of Travelers and a pair of Daily Drivers to see if I'd like them and which one I'd like best. Like them both, but like the Daily Drivers just a little better, primarily because of the feel (they're softer, the Travelers are stiffer and noisier). I'm buying more of both in a 2:1 Daily Driver to Traveler ratio. The Travelers seem a little heftier/ruggeder (just made that word up) and I'm going to use them more as hiking pants and the Daily Drivers more as "nice" pants and for airplanes.

Wore the Daily Drivers on 12 hour airport and airplane days east coast to west coast and back. It was like wearing sweat pants, didn't even know I had them on. But they look 100% better than sweat pants so you can be comfortable and not look like a slob.

First time I washed them I didn't dry them in the machine as suggested. They took a little too long to dry for my liking, so put them in the dryer on low for the second wash. I didn't notice any ill-effects to clothes or dryer (same load had the Travelers and a pair of Daily Driver shorts). They dried faster (duh) after being in the dryer for 15 minutes.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I think your insights will be super helpful for our other customers. We suggest hang drying as the magnet can stick inside the dryer and its so strong it can be pulled through the fabric. If youre having success then thats great news. It doesnt happen for everyone.

I usually wear jeans that are 32x32. I ordered the same sizes pair for the daily driver pants but I found them too large around the waist and they looked a bit baggy in the crotch, so I returned them for a 30x32 pair. The new pair fits much better. Perfect fit around the waist and much better in the crotch. My only slight criticism is around my calves they are a bit tight. I've never had a pair of pants that are tight around my calves. I will admit I do have large calves so this may not be an issue for people with skinnier legs than mine. However after wearing them for a couple of days the pants seemed to stretch out a bit. They still feel a bit tight but not as bad as I originally experienced.

However this wasn't enough to prevent me from keeping the pants, because besides that they are very comfortable. I love all the pockets, the material is lightweight and stretchy, really conforming to the body when active (played a round of golf in them the other day and they were fantastic). And the magnetic button, how cool is that!

Overall quite pleased with these pants and it was a good purchase. I would recommend them.

The solution here, at least temporarily, was using a WASD keyboard (thank you Jeff Atwood) that I had to unplug from another box and plug into the Linux machine. I decided that to work around the problem I likely need to auto-select Debian as the OS to boot, and to do that I modified /etc/default/grub to include a timeout:

For whatever reason, this still results in five seconds of wait time before the OS boots and I get prompted for the disk unlock keys. Funnily enough, at that point I can use the Keychron keyboard just fine - I simply needed to get through the GRUB selection.

I have two DELL UltraSharp 43" monitors. After installing the OS, I also updated the AMD drivers per the official guidelines. After reboot, I get a blank screen on one display, and information on the other. That seemed odd, especially since it seemed like one display was extending the other - I could move my mouse cursor across. The display settings in the Settings view was showing the second monitor as detected, but alas - no image. Reinstalling AMD drivers did nothing. Reverting to prior driver version did nothing either.

The solution? Unplug the second screen, reboot the OS, and once the system is fully booted - plug it back in. After that there were no issues with the second screen being detected after reboots. What caused this? No idea.

Flatpak, Snap store, apt, downloading a .tar.bz2 archive, copying the application to /opt/ and creating symbolic links in /usr/bin, using dpkg -i - there is no rhyme or reason to which app you will get in what format.

To get around this, I ended up adding some third-party vendor apt repositories (e.g., from Sublime) and install the latest packages through them. Or download binaries directly from the website, depending on the file format they had.

They work mostly OK, although 1Password is somewhat sluggish. With Scrivener I ran into a bit of a hilarious problem. First, starting the app itself would just hang indefinitely while attempting to load fonts. A quick glance over Wine AppDB pointed me in the direction of the missing Windows Speech API package, so I installed it with the help of winetricks:
