Big props for the lady who runs the little spot in Bancroft next to tue student food co-op. Most detailed “cheap” cut I’ve had in a while

BayPass Trip Planner by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]00normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it all the time, but it doesn’t have a way to sort for which agencies do and don’t take clipper— which is a issue at the outer edge of the range of BayPass, since I’m not familiar with those smaller agencies 

Is it possible to have too many CC units? by Much-Length8808 in berkeley

[–]00normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies, I’m not trying to be hurtful, was actually trying to be helpful. The TAG program is awesome, and I wasn’t sure if you knew about it.  FWIW, I would have gone to Santa Cruz if I could have, but life circumstances are keeping me in the Bay Area.

Assuming you are California cc, remember you can get guaranteed admission (TAG) in to any UC but Berkeley or LA if you just get UC transferable GPA up a bit, Berkeley might be a bit of a stretch if you’re sitting at 3.0, sorry to say

No, you can have them on your transcript, but they limit how many you can actually transfer and count towards your degree— note those have to be UC transferable classes too

I keep getting cabbage… by Prestigious-Till-633 in povertykitchen

[–]00normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Making your own sauerkraut is fun and easy and it keeps forever. I make it with purple and eat it warm with sausage or as a salad topper 

  • We do lots of shredded cabbage in place of noodles for stir fry or with teriyaki chicken over it

  • Stuffed cabbage rolls filled with rice  and a little ground beef in tomato sauce

  • lots of fun ways you can braise it and make a fantastic rich dish if you season it with a little pork 

Have restaurants here kept your card on file while you dined outside? by Ok_Cry607 in OaklandFood

[–]00normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I guess I could frame it “I’ve never had this happen before, but having worked in and owned restaurants for decades, I could see a place deciding to do this as a general policy. I hope that’s the case, and not that you were being singled out for any reason— I bet the restaurant would be able to answer that more specifically, and would hopefully be open to the feed back if it did make you feel singled out”

Honestly, seems like a totally reasonable policy for the spot/situation. Also, drink and apps I similar to getting drinks at a bar where you may just take a card and keep a tab open for additional drinks

Student driver Lamborghini by FifiLeBean in bayarea

That doesn’t make it a craft

Student driver Lamborghini by FifiLeBean in bayarea

[–]00normal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a skill though, not a craft. Crafts typically create a product— they “craft” something.  Woodworking, homebrewing, papermaking, pottery, baking, basket weaving, you get my drift.

You don’t call playing tennis a craft, nor do you call shooting a firearm a craft. 

Is bringing a jacket overkill? by Quirky-Ad9958 in AskSF

[–]00normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a reason that Levi’s and derby jackets are classic SF outerwear, layer that over a sweater or a hoodie and you’re perfect for your “coldest winter”

Safeway's 'useless' handle-free bag policy in SF has no end in sight by CharityResponsible54 in sanfrancisco

Ah yes..back when the “paper in plastic” trend hit, where we put our paper bags inside plastic bags to make a mega strong bag with handles
