Calculating condo dwelling coverage for Bay Area city?

This is always tricky. I'm trying to estimate the walls-in dwelling coverage I need for a condo in the Bay Area (on the peninsula). Per sq. ft. rebuild rates are sky high and climbing of course, but I find it's easiest to use a $/sq ft calculation for this kind of coverage.

For SFH's, I've heard $550/sq ft is a good rule of thumb to estimate dwelling coverage, or 20% of your purchase price. But what about for condos? Any recommendations for a $/sq ft calculation to use as a starting point?

I've found that most insurers and online calculators grossly underestimate the dwelling coverage needed in our crazy hcol areas.

Place to get a collection of vintage bourbon and other spirits appraised?

Recently came across a large collection of unopened vintage spirits (over 75 years old) that would likely sell at auction or through a dealer. I'd rather not risk transporting them. Are there dealers in SF that work with vintage/rare spirits?

Globular cluster, studio form, or amvr for smaller head size?

I'd like to add one of these to my setup for my psvr2, but I want to select the one that adds the least amount of weight and is better for smaller-sized heads.

Some people on here have said the amvr is better for larger heads. Anyone have experience with more than one of these?

Suitable s5e replacement with OLED screen that isn't an arm and a leg?

I love my Tab s5e to death, especially the oled screen, but it's starting to get verrrrry long in the tooth. It makes a great e-reader, but it's well out of security and os updates. Looking at Samsung's current tablet lineup, I'm not seeing anything that's remotely close in terms of features to price ratio (value).

My dealbreaker is it must have an oled screen, but all the galaxy tabs that aren't ridiculous prices only have lcd's now.

Is there another manufacturer that uses oled in their 10'' android tablets that comes in at $399 or less? Not interested in an ipad.

This guy has been happily growing in this 14'' x 18'' pot for over 12 years. I make sure to fertilize during the growing season, and I only water when the first 3 inches of soil is bone dry. Every year I get new growth at the top, and after a couple years, a lower leaf or two drops off as normal.

In the last few months though, I've started seeing the leaves (more towards the bottom first) become almost more brittle and showing more brown spots than before. The leaves are still a healthy green color, but I'm seeing more brown cracks and spots in the leaves where they've either been squished against other leaves or abraded somehow.

The plant looks healthy for the most part, but these I guess I would call them dried out areas seem to be spreading. Do I need to finally repot? Or could it be something else.

NOTE: Please ignore the shiny/wet leaves. I had just wiped them down for dust when I took these photos.

I have mint that's been happily growing for 6 months in an outdoor container, and I recently planted tomatoes in another container 5ft away. After the weather started to get warm again here a couple weeks ago, my mint has been slowly eaten alive by something that I can't identify. And now it's spread to the tomatoes too.

Both plants get full sun. The mint and the tomatoes are watered so that the top 3'' of soil stays moist but not soggy.

It looks like leafminers, but I have never identified (or ever seen) any actual pests on the leaves. I've sprayed numerous times with horticultural spray (mineral oil) and insecticidal soap every other day. Those don't seem to be helping at all.

I've even resorted to AI, but I've been unable to source these plastic almond-colored screw cap covers. I found them on my square-drive drawer screws that are not countersunk and stick out a bit from the wood. Anyone know a place online where I can source these? They look to be #2 or maybe smaller.
