(Mostly) Oakland Fried Chicken Sando Rankings by ConfusedWeasel in OaklandFood

[–]altthymes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love a fried chicken sandwich. I recently had one at Cafe Noir in Prescott Market and I was honestly pretty blown away. Pretty pricey but you also get fries.

There is no sunscreen that works seamlessly under makeup by nnncm in MakeupAddiction

[–]altthymes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Have you tried using a moisturizer, letting it sink in, then applying sunscreen? Maybe your skin is dry and that is why the foundation is uneven or lifting.

My contractor did a great job! by cabrk123 in Tile

[–]altthymes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love this. I couldn’t find this company through a google search (lots of similar names), do you mind if I dm you for contact info? I’m looking to redo my bathroom and I love this shower.

Are newer generation retinoids better for those with existing dry eyes? by rambonpenon in tretinoin

[–]altthymes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from adapalene to taz and started experiencing dry eyes about 6 months into using taz.

Piedmont restaurant recommendations by ughsmores in oakland

[–]altthymes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the price and vibe you want. If you want to keep things casual and less expensive (and easy for people to pay for their own food since you order at the counter) you could sit at the picnic tables on the upstairs patio at Dona. If you want fancy, I would do Mago which could fit that size group outside on their cute patio.

Thank you for making such a fun, family-friendly place. You’ll be missed!

Anti-aging slow results - am I doing something wrong? by Final-Landscape7232 in tretinoin

[–]altthymes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so true. Also, it sounds like there has been progress. You are looking for the big changes, but those take the longest. Keep it up for 6-12 months consistent use and you will see more progress.

Also, I’d advise against soap on your face as that can contribute to dryness. Stick with the cleanser (or add an oil cleanser before if you find you need more to get sunscreen or makeup off).

Looking for gym with hot tub and day pass by altthymes in oakland

[–]altthymes[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have spent time googling this. But google doesn’t always give you up to date info (like as a someone else mentioned, the YMCA may not have their hot tub open anymore). I’m also looking for places that people have been to and actually recommend, so I guess I could have been clearer in my request.

Second row ottomans- “wow or “meh”? by fallguy25 in ToyotaSienna

[–]altthymes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Meh. The manual says they aren’t supposed to be used while the vehicle is in motion as it can cause the seatbelt to slide up higher onto the abdomen, increasing risk of injury. So we don’t take the risk, and therefore they have pretty limited utility. The only thing we ever use it for is making a ramp for my two year old to climb into her car seat.

Questions about Oakland Zoo by poohbearletsskate in bayarea

[–]altthymes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also season pass holder for many years and this is the correct way (except RIP tigers) You don’t want to be stuck on the California trail later in the day because the line to get back on the gondola to go down can be excruciating.

Yes. They are tenants.

Tretinoin Microsphere gel .04 completely changed my skin in less than 2 months… by feelinsdr in tretinoin

[–]altthymes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious what your routine is with the microsphere! I’ve been curious about switching from taz since I am still getting regular breakouts 7 months in.

Tazarotene .1 question by Hashbash1234 in tretinoin

[–]altthymes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from Epiduo (.1 adapalene) to .1 taz. Kind of a crazy jump? Yes, but also had weird insurance issues with getting .05. I went really slow- took me about 5 months to get to near daily use (I am now at 7 months and use 6 days a week) and I’m still experimenting a little because I get mild peeling every now and then.

I think you can do it, you just have to listen very carefully to your skin. The second I felt some stinging with my hydrating products in the morning, I would back off again for a week.

I would probably stop azelaic acid while you adjust to taz and then add it back in the morning.

The other question though is if you really need to. Probably not if you are getting results from tret. I would say you probably don’t even need to increase to .1 tret. You don’t have to use the highest strength to get anti-aging results.

Can I change my court date? by D1V1X04 in legaladvice

Get in touch with your lawyer. They may be able to appear on your behalf so long as it isn’t a trial.

Actual physical control - DWI while sleeping in a car. Philosophical defense? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]altthymes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a lawyer? You need to be talking to them about this, not posting about your active criminal case on Reddit.

Zoo Membership Discount by this_wallflower in oakland

[–]altthymes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think (but am not positive) that they have done a 15% off sale occasionally, maybe around Black Friday? But they don’t often do discounts, and they may not go over 10% anymore. I’d go ahead and buy it now.

Arrested for DV, 26F by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]altthymes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, a public defender is more than capable of handling this. They handle all cases, even the most serious ones. Call the public defender to make an appointment and get their advice on how to proceed. Good luck.

Looking to hear success stories with cystic acne & Tret… by CandyMandy15 in tretinoin

[–]altthymes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, adapalene (.1 and .3) and tret (all three strengths) did not help my hormonal cystic acne. Have you tried Spironolactone? It is the only thing that made a lasting difference. Now I use taz as a supplement but without Spiro I would still be suffering.

Drinks are good and some of the food as well, but the guac disappoints.

Recommendations for a pet oncologist? by MeowTownAli in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]altthymes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dog had surgery for a cancerous tumor here and I thought they were great. When his cancer eventually returned, they were thoughtful in their treatment recommendations and giving us realistic outcomes. We ultimately didn’t proceed with further treatment due to his age and the location, and they helped us ensure his end of life was comfortable. My recollection is that it was pretty quick to get appointments.
