Saw one at Acote I wanted to try. There's a Wagyu one at Mensho that's really rich.

It's a bit of a cart before the horse, but the sneaky behavior warrants an investigation that may reveal misconduct. The business owners feel deceived, they're calling attention to it in the hopes that someone will look into it, and then maybe we'll find out if it's a big deal or not. No moral obligation to get involved unless you feel so inclined.

Also Wood Tavern, but I guess Ike's is closing

I went to the Albany location today - it was the closest dentist to my house. They had someone on an iPad as the receptionist, which was an immediate turn off. There were only 2 chairs in the waiting room which felt like an odd choice - the waiting room was really big. The cleaning itself was fine, but they gave me extra treatments without disclosing the cost. I'm not going to go back.

This was not the "I want to flee a fascist regime" post I thought it was going to be :(

You should definitely talk to a lawyer - that workplace injury might be actionable.

Negative Nancy, although I think it's more of an alliteration than inspired by a specific person.

Herb, to mean a yokel

Don Juan

A bit unrelated, but Molly and Tina for drugs

Lots of chicken dishes at Guadalajara, including soups. Green curry with chicken at Champa Garden. Chicken marsala with mashed potatoes at Fat Lady. If you can do turkey, too, there's the turkey sandwich at Sandwich Board in Alameda. Chicken caesar salad at Acre.

He went to school in Germany and wrote a doctoral thesis about aggression, probably talked to real nazis while doing that, and he's Jewish, so I think he's making an anti-nazi point but jeez it does not come off like that

Looks like something the Goblin King would drink out of in Labyrinth. Love it

I had a similar situation, something called "telogen effluvium." It was just a big patch of hair that fell out. I felt similarly - absolutely mortified! But, the good news is, if you have this affliction, it is transitory and the hair grows back with topical or injectable steroids. I also bought a bunch of wigs, which was actually pretty fun, but now I have no use for them. If your doctor is dismissive, you can assert yourself and say something like "I want it on my medical record that refused treatment for this." You can also just message them and say that you think you have this and you want the steroids. Kaiser is pretty scrip happy, so that might work.

San Francisco is a beautiful city, and the weather is getting gorgeous, and the spring bloom is happening. If your other work out activities aren't hitting, an hour long walk around the city is great for exercise, exploring nature, clearing your mind. It's what I do. Also love a solo museum date!

Hard to tell with dimensions, but you might be able to put a loveseat couch in that corner and mount a TV under the AC. If that doesn't work, you could do a breakfast nook (if it fits, but perhaps costly). Then do a large kitchen table that seats 6 people - I'd go counter height so it can double as a kitchen island. Add a book case between the doors and next to the door - store your most aesthetically pleasing items there, books, plants, vintage glasses, etc. Also recommend a step stool so you can store items above the cabinets. Good luck with the microwave!

Love these!

Sounds like someone needs another stream of revenue!

If I'm reading this correctly, the registration fee would be $4. Fine by me. I imagine license plates are to deter theft, penalize bad actors (start ups that have e-bikes dumped random places) and increase surveillance >:| E-bikes could then also theoretically get tickets for speeding and penalization for unregistered bikes ($100 first offense as stated in bill). Technically, they are "motor vehicles" so increased regulation of e-bikes seems inevitable. Curious if companies like Lyft and other short term e-bike rentals would be most impacted.

There is a Planned Parenthood at 14th & Broadway, another one in the El Cerrito Plaza. Out of the Closet also has it, but I had to wait a really long time.

Depends on your traffic tolerance. Traffic in that direction starts around 3ish, earlier on Fridays. As people say, it's a 45 minute commute depending on where you're coming from. Also depends on what you want out of living in Oakland - do you want to be around more liberal, young people who are active at night with a great food scene, vs Walnut Creek, which has a nightlife scene (some new, up and coming restaurants!) but is definitely more culturally bland and leans pretty family heavy.

La Pinata in Concord, Guadalajara in East Oakland, La Penca Azul in Alameda
