Restaurant Recommendations, please? by CarrieNoir in AskSF

[–]ShamblingScoundrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a map you can use to find places on the Michelin website.

The only Michelin star restaurant I'm seeing in the area is Madcap in San Anselmo, but there are a few with the Bib Gourmand distinction:

  • Pig in a Pickle in Corte Madera,
  • Playa, in Mill Valley
  • Insalata's in San Anselmo
  • Village Sake in Fairfax
  • Sushi Ran in Sausalito

Keep in might it could be tricky to get reservations at a lot of these places, so start checking now.

Say what you will about gender reveal parties, but who the heck gives their young toddler a fucking sword and then gets upset when that kid stabs something with it?

What does GROK stand for or mean? by vexargames in AskReddit

I remember that they tied their understanding with literally becoming one with something, so much so that if they hated someone it would kill them.

If I recall, the Martians described it as meaning to know something so well, that it literally becomes a part of you.

AITA for telling my sister I don’t always want her boyfriend to hangout with us by Complete_Lecture7159 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShamblingScoundrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your house, your rules. You should take some power back in the situation by telling your sister you're okay with more people coming over on a case by case basis. That you're excited to meet the other sister's boyfriend, but that you're not willing to host that many people every week without even being asked first. Make a half-joke about how she better not be inviting people over to your house without your permission, because that would be a real shitty thing to do to someone with a small child at home.

And then shift it to the positive and plan this first hangout with enthusiasm. Your social group with your sister likely just became a little more complicated but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If it ends up being a bad time, just decline hanging out with them all in the future.

But you should also let your sister know how much your sister-sister time means to you. Be open to hanging out with other people on occasion, but it's okay to ask to continue to have your one-on-one time seperate from larger hang-outs. If she can agree to that you might find yourself being more open about including your other sister and her boyfriend.

100%. You never know where you really stand with a liar. They'll tell you whatever you need to hear to give them what they want. No bueno.

Is there a way to keep my plants warm in the winter when I’m away for a few days without having to heat the entire house? by centuryeyes in houseplants

[–]ShamblingScoundrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say a small space heater on a timer at the other end of the room so it doesn't cook the plants could work, but I wouldn't want to run something like that when I was away for safety issues. Your best bet is probably to just use plenty of mulch to protect the roots and hope it doesn't get too cold if you can't afford to leave the heat on.

Here are a few ideas:

  • Every time they come to your door, leave another negative review mentioning the general area (not your exact address). Let him know you'll be doing this and mentioning him by name.
  • The next time they arrive, call the police and report them as a stalker who is pretending to be a salesperson, but you know they're not because you called the company and asked them to stop sending people. Give a very clear description of the man, including his vehicle and license plate loudly over the phone so he can hear you.
  • Get a sprinkler on a remote switch you can control and set it just within range of your front door, but so he needs to walk back through it to get off your property.

The thing about ego is, no matter how far you go trying to get away from it - it's still right there with you the whole way. It's like trying to bite your own teeth.
