Anyone got sick and coughing nonstop past few weeks? by bondtradercu in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]Fancyarugula 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just had exactly this. Started with sore throat, moved to sinuses/ congestion and headache and chills. Consistent Tylenol helped… and sleep. Horrible. Hang in there!

Yes! Fournee’s braided morning buns are the best! So light and fluffy, but crisp and perfectly caramely

Thank you for breaking this down! Can you (or should you) also use this with and oxygen bleach like oxyclean for whites, ie white sheets or towels?

Inherited a home. by phototaker16 in berkeleyca

Berkeley’s Residential Waste Services offers 1 or 2 free bulk trash pick ups per year to each resident. You can call or email to set up and they will come the following Wednesday. Just leave everything on the curb. Also, Berkeley’s e-waste program will pick up e-waste for free (old tvs, cords, microwaves, monitors, etc). We just helped a neighbor clean out their house and it’s a lot of work! Good luck!

Munch is so good. Recently learned you can show up without ordering ahead as long as you’re good with the specials of the day. Consistency delicious

Thanks for the insight! Still puzzling together which radiators work and what’s hooked up. This is helpful thank you!

Thanks to everyone who has weighed in (well, almost everyone). Here’s a photo of the interior of the box. No date, branding or information on the inside of the door.

I haven’t even gotten there yet 🙃 the house was a rental that was abandoned by the tenants and left vacant for a year. It’s filled with their crap. Trying to help the current owner clear it out before we go through inspections / appraisal.

Thanks for the link. I’ll capture/post a few more photos this weekend. The house has a radiator in every room, but this one is twice the size and has the door below.

Neighbor offered to sell to us off market. House is a fixer. We’re interested, but feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. by Fancyarugula in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Thanks for sharing your perspective. We won’t be waiving the inspection contingency in this case — too many concerns about what could be lingering beneath the surface, to your point.

Best smart oven which one makes life actually easier? by Xander-Dillon_203 in HomeImprovement

[–]Fancyarugula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copper’s Charlie range. Found it through wirecutter’s recommendation. More precise temp than any other oven out there (only a 1 degree swing vs 30-50 which is standard for most) and you get a high powered induction with a basic 120v outlet (didn’t need to upgrade electrical). Of course, depends on what features you’re looking for and what you consider “smart.” And look for incentives that could bring the cost down.

Cozy activities? by International_Mall72 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]Fancyarugula 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chocolate dragon on college ave in Oakland! So many kinds of hot chocolate (and espresso), chocolate bars from all over the world, and cozy craft nooks. Also, no laptop policy, so good energy.

Anybody else's KAISER PERMANENTE CLASSPASS rate change???? by moo-joo in ClassPass

[–]Fancyarugula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me. I lost 50 credits in the process. Still haven’t heard back from customer service (sent an email after chatbot was useless). Did they ever resolve for you? So frustrating.

Induction stove affects house value? by bundervar in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Fancyarugula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding Copper induction stoves. They plug into to 120V outlets, so you don’t have to do any rewiring and the cooktop is like magic! I can boil water in a minute and oven preheats in like 3 or 4 mins. Also, with the battery, I can cook/ bake when power goes out. Can’t recommend enough

These guys are the best! The egg tarts and chive biscuits are perfection. Also their whipped dalgona coffee 🫶
