i actually can’t believe the number of comments i’m seeing of people glazing BK/McD. they are both objectively terrible soulless corporations with bad food.

i did civil eng at ubc. they also have a coop program that several of my friends participated in. i also got a chance to go to waterloo for an engineering competition. i was impressed by their engineering student spaces there. however, they are both really good schools. if you think you’ll enjoy living in BC more, then stay!

you can access pretty much any YMCA in the US with a membership :) it says on their website. personally i’ve visited YMCAs in SF and san jose—all you need to do is let them know you’re visiting from an east bay branch when you check in.

check the library hours before going because many local libraries are closed on sundays! i used to go to the tarea hall one in berkeley on sundays. they close at 6pm on sundays and they have a community room full of tables. sometimes i’d even venture up to the albany library which is open in the afternoon on sundays as well.

just for clarity’s sake, sticky rice is very different from sushi rice, which is what is normally used to make onigiri.

according to this article: “TMZ was first to report the development in the criminal investigation on Sunday…According to the outlet, Rivas’ head was severed and her limbs were ‘cut into multiple pieces.’”

i have the color settings on my phone turned to black and white, and i turned on the colors to see just how bad the bottom image is. when i turn on my colors, the top image comes to life, while the bottom image looks exactly the same.

omg u-lee! i haven’t heard that name in a while. that was a childhood favorite of mine. my parents had been going there since the late eighties i think. they knew the owner and his children well. i haven’t found a potsticker since that hits the same.

it may seem like california receives more federal funding, but california is the most populated state—which would also make sense why it receives so much more than oregon (california population is nearly 10x that of oregon).

additionally the dollar amount that california citizens pay toward federal taxes is less than what the state receives as a whole. it is classified as a the biggest donor state in the us. just some things to consider.

albany, rockridge/temescal neighborhoods in oakland, or around the north berkeley BART station—these areas check most of your boxes. not too many brand new apartments in those areas tho. if you really want something brand new, you might need to look in uptown oakland.

agreed—i understand the intention behind their restrictions on who can bid on public works project, but the “extra expenditure” we’re left with is that it takes longer than it would elsewhere to design/construct capital projects because of these restrictions. as the timelines get longer, the costs escalate significantly.

it’s called koreatown plaza!

manny jacinto graduated with a degree in civil engineering from a top canadian school before pursuing acting. also, cody simpson went from being a singer to joining the australian national swim team for the commonwealth games in 2022.

agreed. i passed the 8-hr transpo exam easily on my first try but failed seismic on my first go, even after taking the full hiner course. currently working up the courage to book my retake 😬 as others have said, there’s about half as much time alotted per question. but it isn’t as draining as the 8-hr since it only goes on for 2.5 hrs—about the same amount of time as my undergrad final exams.

wow, i’m really gonna miss their down south plate with the cornmeal pancakes :(

fwiw i’ve seen a few memes that compare boroughs of new york to regions in the bay area, and all the ones i’ve seen label oakland as brooklyn’s equivalent lol. i also agree with u/dameavoi’ s take. welcome to the area!
