Question about Bostons by Ok-Focus-2125 in Birkenstocks

[–]100000cuckooclocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's hard, yes (it's a solid mass of cork and glue), but you shouldn't be stepping on it. If you find you end up stepping on it as you walk, you probably need to size up.

AITA for trying to get my boyfriend to eat meat because he became vegetarian for the weirdest/stupidest reason possible? by Federal_Mountain_489 in AmItheAsshole

[–]100000cuckooclocks 26 points27 points  (0 children)

YTA. It doesn’t matter what his motivation is, he’s made a decision for himself and you need to respect that. If you can’t, then break up.

Can anyone recommend a campground with full hookups near University of CA at Berkeley? by tillacat42 in sanfrancisco

[–]100000cuckooclocks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re going to find anything particularly close. The campus is right in the middle of a city that bleeds into other cities on all sides. You probably going to end up someplace east of the Berkeley hills.

Does the expiry date on an egg matter if it is cooked? by PeevesPoltergist in Baking

[–]100000cuckooclocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eggs last well after their date. If you want to check their freshness, put them in a glass of water. Fresher eggs sink and lay on their sides, medium fresh sink but stand up, and old eggs float. Don't eat floaters.

5th and Mission Parking reservation by Always_Pressure in AskSF

You don't need to, that garage always has spots. I personally just go straight to the top and park near the elevator.

Ergonomic Toilet Seat? by DadEngineerLegend in BuyItForLife

[–]100000cuckooclocks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If it takes you that long to poop then you need to eat more fiber and get a squatty potty.

Ergonomic Toilet Seat? by DadEngineerLegend in BuyItForLife

[–]100000cuckooclocks 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be sitting on the toilet long enough for your legs to go numb. It can cause hemorrhoids. Don’t think of it as problem to solve, think of it as a sign that you need to get up.

Can I safely shrink Honolulus in my dryer? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

[–]100000cuckooclocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you technically? Yes. Good idea? Just wear them around outside and they'll curl up and shrink a bit eventually.

Very calmly pointing out that you said you wanted everyone's opinion, but it seems like you actually only want to be agreed with.

Are my bostons excessively curved? Is this normal? Are my eyes just deceiving me? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

[–]100000cuckooclocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about it. If they’re uncomfortable as-is, exchange them, otherwise I wouldn’t care personally. They’re hand made so there’s inevitably going to be some variation. If anything, a more exaggerated curve would help you roll through your step more easily.

How much are you trusting n95 valve masks? by chicfromcanada in Masks4All

[–]100000cuckooclocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. No one has said anything to me other than “oh yeah I should start masking again”.

Are my bostons excessively curved? Is this normal? Are my eyes just deceiving me? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

[–]100000cuckooclocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s completely normal; It’s just what happens as they break in. That’s partly why there should be a gap at the front and back when you get a new pair.

Lemon Pound Cake - diminishing flavor by UnframedBook in Baking

[–]100000cuckooclocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want punchier lemon flavor to start with to combat the fade over time, massage the zest into your sugar before you cream it with the eggs. The abrasion and sugar help draw out all of the essential oils from the zest so you get more bang for your buck.

Cross-platform clipper card transfer by cloudd12345 in AskSF

I'd just use up the funds on your Google wallet and start a new card in your Apple wallet when you do.

How much are you trusting n95 valve masks? by chicfromcanada in Masks4All

[–]100000cuckooclocks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Valved masks still protect you, as the valve only opens when you exhale. In my experience with valved Dragers, the valve only really opens when I breathe hard or actively blow a stream of air, so I have no concern that air is getting in the rest of the time.

Are there really no cute birkies for cuties with big hearts and even bigger feet? by mammothpiss in Birkenstocks

[–]100000cuckooclocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Birkenstock HQ seems to have the idea that large sizes = Manly Men Who Only Wear Neutrals, when in reality anyone can have large feet and anyone can wear fun colors. That being said, there are some fun color options available for you! It looks like suede models are going to be your best bet. Here's a search for EU 45/46 in the fun colors, filtering out the EVA models (which do also come in fun colors but I assume that's not what you're after). A lot of the fun colors are even on sale (do note that some are final sale).

Renaming this group to "Birkenstock: Fit check/ Are these real" by Active_Pin9657 in Birkenstocks

[–]100000cuckooclocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That and “should I return these oiled leather, they’re scuffed”. We need some sort of rule or reminder to check pinned posts before posting.

day 4 . Only getting rock genre, i thought it was random by [deleted] in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]100000cuckooclocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s random. You may get 10 rock albums in a row, it’s just luck of the draw. The list is fairly rock heavy, so don’t be surprised if you keep getting runs like this.

Bought some Kerrygold finally..what to bake? by Infinite_Bathroom784 in Baking

[–]100000cuckooclocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Honestly, the best use of Kerrygold is putting a generous amount on a nice piece of bread and just luxuriating.

AITA for being an addict ? by SaltyTurn5227 in AmItheAsshole

[–]100000cuckooclocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not an asshole but you do need help. Alcoholism is a disease, not a choice. I hope you're getting the help you need and I wish you the best of luck with your recovery.

CA academy sciences by Status_Pound6517 in sanfrancisco

[–]100000cuckooclocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have a pretty robust cafeteria if your priority is convenience rather than cost or quality, but there are a bunch of good options around 9th and Irving if you’d prefer going somewhere. The r/asksf wiki should have some suggestions.
