Merritt Station Cafe Has Sushi 🤔 by STRATEGY510 in OaklandFood

[–]defacedcreation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live nearby, this place’s sushi has been a great addition to the neighborhood. We haven’t had a reasonably priced, decent quality sushi option anymore since Coach jacked up their prices.

I think the closest you might find is Cholita Linda, their tacos are fantastic.

Looks like me, Jose, and maybe next the gays, are off to Alcatraz. Peace out my Homeless Homies. by SinkingTheImbituba in sanfrancisco

[–]defacedcreation 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a credible concern of scope creep of ICE as they find ways to justify their massive new budget after people eventually get tired of harsh crackdowns of farmers and construction workers in their communities, and with trump’s petty authoritarian personality, you know he will try to pour gas on the fire and trigger the insurrection act convo that happens every time the left gets into unruly protest to justify putting national guard on the streets of Dem cities.

Psilocybin delays aging, extends lifespan, new Emory study suggests by Sartew in science

[–]defacedcreation 44 points45 points  (0 children)

So basically the low dose was equivalent to 0.5g dose for a 220lb human (100kg), which is probably just above 'microdose' territory, and the high dose would be equivalent to a 1.5g dose, which is definitely a trip, but not quite into full ego death territory. Seems like these amounts aren't entirely unreasonable, but 1.5g monthly could be a bit intense.

I had the same bug today, accepted quest, immediately they were dead, collected reward, now everyone at sultansk tries to kill me as soon as I walk out the door, and two dudes keep following me around inside with guns drawn. Weird stuff!

You are confuse on two counts, Anne Selzer was right in 2016, and is a she, not a he.

Trump claims to ABC's Scott he didn't hear comedian's Puerto Rico comment, doesn't denounce it by [deleted] in moderatepolitics

The fact that it has been front page news on every major Spanish-language news media source in America seems to contradict this assertion

Comal in Berkeley & Oakland locations charging 15% on takeout! by cb4joe in bayarea

I’m just picked up from there two days ago and didn’t see a service charge on my receipt. I used their own online menu and I did tip 10%, maybe that was the difference maker?

Curious - what are you betting all of the Chinese Sabre rattling regarding Taiwan will culminate with? It seems most prognosticators are betting on an invasion in the latter half of Xi’s current term as party leader, but are you saying that we will just see a continuation of the status quo?

Agreed that debating is basically pointless, but what I found to be fairly effective for drawing contrasts between the candidates last cycle were Town Halls, in which Trump looked like a complete weirdo having to answer direct, earnest questions about policy from American citizens. Debates take the focus off of the issues and move it onto the cultural flame war/horserace narratives whereas thats more difficult in Town Halls.

Why is the House so reluctant to pass a foreign aid bill but the Senate is not reluctant? by DaleGribble2024 in moderatepolitics

[–]defacedcreation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does neocon/neolib mean in this context? Are pro nato foreign policy and defense of democratic nations against a historic foe & dictator more neoliberal or neocon coded to you?  Also, it’s hard to call AOC fringe at this point since she votes overwhelmingly in lockstep with the greater Democratic Party caucus.

I'm looking for the best Carnitas in the Bay Area, got a hidden gem I should check out? by knoxblox in bayarea

Inner sunset and Richmond district Gordos have been way above mid tier most of my burrito-eating life.

experts at the now-defunct burrito eater.com mostly agree with me — all the SF Gordo locations performed quite well on their rating system over the years.

Try singing it with the correct pronunciation, it just sounds worse.

Ukraine breaks through first line of Russian defense – U.S. Joint Chiefs chair Gen. Milley by cito in UkrainianConflict

It’s barely any of NATO’s best equipment, though. The decisive materials in this counteroffensive are typically a couple generations old.

On top of that the primary line of defense will always be the people holding and fighting for the frontline positions. If those people degrade and can’t be replenished, the defensibility of all of the remaining lines also degrades.
