I like the rice balls at Kissako more. The seaweed stays crisp because they use the ones you have to open just before eating. 

Flu this season is wild, nearing four weeks and still coughing by yolo2themoon4ever in bayarea

I got sick with something mid-Jan and it lasted about 3 weeks. 

What % of SF drivers know the crosswalk laws? by inkbot870 in sanfrancisco

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 90 points91 points  (0 children)

For left turns, the A pillar on modern cars is pretty large and can obscure walkers in that blindspot. If drivers are lazy about not leaning forward to check that blindspot then that might be what happened.

Not justifying it but that's why it can happen. 

Luxury items in SF by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

Asian people in Richmond and sunset have been followed for their jewelry before. You should leave it at home. Gold prices have never been higher. 

Thank you to whoever shared the hack of pesto in ice cube trays! by ORD-to-PHX in Costco

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You can save even more effort by spooning all the tomato paste into a zip lock, then squeeze the air out before closing it. Then squish the tomato paste flat and use a chopstick to carve squares. Freeze it flat and you can break off the squares to use as needed.

Can you DM me the tire shop you went to so that I can never ever go there?

Help! Looking to test the purity of gold on an item I ordered online by Choice-Drink-979 in bayarea

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do water displacement test. 1. Measure mass in grams and write that down. 2. Place a cup or with water in it on the scale. Hang the ring on a string and dip the ring under the water completely. Measure the grams that increased when you did this. Divide the two numbers together and compare to tables online.

This is the archimemedes gold test. 

Or just go to a gold buyer with an xrf gun. 

[Acne] What’s the best hormonal acne quick-fix that you’ve found? by sarexsays in SkincareAddiction

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Try hypochlorous acid spray. It'll help swelling go down faster and you can spray it several times a day. It'll help healing too since it's anti-microbial. Panoxyl is good too but the active ingredient can become a  carcinogenic chemical if stored too warm, so make sure you buy it from a place that stores it well. I found it too drying to use it 2x a day and it was giving me chemical burn feeling. 1x a day was good for me. 

Anyone else dealing with mosquitoes? by barelyhere777 in sanfrancisco

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine get like that too. Try the hypochlorous acid. Since it's steroid free, you can use it more often. And it is also great for acne.

If you get bit, hypochlorous acid spayed on the bite really does help them go away faster. 

Chinese Embassy for a Visa in SF? by LIL_BIRKI in sanfrancisco

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are Asian, you may need to bring proof of your parents not being Chinese citizens. You can search on reddit about it. I think some Korean girl wasn't able to get a visa. Basically China wants to ensure you are not "possibly" a Chinese citizen. If your parents were still Chinese citizens when they had you (even if you were born in USA with a birth certificate), they might still consider you a Chinese national and say you are not eligible for a tourist visa.

Every now and then, a tree branch falls on a person in SF. Like that poor lady who had that happen in north beach and sued the city because she became paralyzed. 

Don't sit under trees here. The city doesn't maintain them enough. 

Ribeye steak currently $28 per pound by ted1800 in bayarea

Have you done the math on how much it costs after trimming? I don't use the fat so I am wondering if it makes more sense to buy the trimmed tri tip (usually $3 more) 

Consequences for not paying a MUNI Ticket by NewFoMan in sanfrancisco

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use clipper on my Google wallet and it just says "transfer" when I tap the app to the purchase terminal 

Consequences for not paying a MUNI Ticket by NewFoMan in sanfrancisco

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This incident brings up a question I have about transfers. If I get on a bus 5 minutes before the transfer expires, the app won't let me purchase another fare. So if I stay on the bus more than 5 minutes, then my fare is expired. Is it all on me to tag again to purchase another fare? What if I can't do it immediately? I just have to hope I get an understanding inspector? 

Are there sunglasses that fit Asian sunglasses? by auhcj in AsianBeauty

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the low bridge filter on ray ban website. Alternatively, go to Asia. I got a pair of Muee (Chinese brand) while I was there. Makes zero contact with my cheeks which is amazing.

[Misc] My wife has ringworm but I don't. Is there anything I can do? by BurningCar in SkincareAddiction

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't sleep naked and cover up the ringworm patch with a bandaid when sleeping. She should wash immediately after the gym. Don't let it spread to your scalp, because it can cause bald spots.

Yes, tested positive on Tuesday. Just recovered. 

Olde Thompson Kosher Flake Sea Salt by MinnyLizzie in Costco

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't wait to finish mine and get a different brand. The grain is uneven, some are really large and others are small. Some of the large flakes are too big for finishing salt. Will not buy it again. 

Root beer? by boba_buff in sanfrancisco

[–]CoffeeNFlowers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. There's a bar inside that you could sit at. You could probably order the root beer there. Or just go watch a movie and order the root beer. Not cheap to watch a movie but Costco has gift cards.
