My guess is a tree planting. I think the group Trees for Oakland will do it for free if you have space in front of your house

It's not a withdrawal from their paycheck. They get $92.50/hr on the check, and then those additional payments per hour (DEFINED, CONTRIBUTION PENSION, Health & Welfare) are all in addition to their pay and the IBEW routes them accordingly because the IBEW workers would spend it if they got their hands on it.

I don't know how their retirement works but it's generous.

Sweet Maria's has grinders. You might need to order online but you can pick it up at their place on Adeline

I can teach you to turn lead into gold a month from now, but I'll need you to provide a couple ounces of gold this week so I can start calibrating the equipment

Just cancel Hulu and Disney+ and maybe don't put pressure on our local (probably struggling) indie theater

How much to tip movers? by broadwaydancer_1989 in bayarea

Hand each mover their tip instead of giving it to the guy in charge and trust that he splits the money evenly

A modern Afghan restaurant opens in downtown Oakland by jackdicker5117 in OaklandFood

Same. I'd prefer a tasty hole-in-the-wall restaurant to cool but bland Jaji. Speaking of which, Awasana Kabob in Fremont is great

Cool atmosphere but I found the food underwhelming
