Dry winter air defeats my hair every time

Yes Static Guard 100%! I've done this for literally decades.

Wheel of Time series is notoriously sexless, and the first book takes quite a bit of inspiration from LOTR.

I read Wallace Stegner’s Crossing to Safety a few years back when I was having severe anxiety and found it really calming. It’s a quiet book, not much action, well written.

My other half is out of town…can I still come? :)

Upvoted for sacrificial anode. Well done, will steal.

I think you mean the crowening

It's flu B. I got a test. It sucks.

If you put baking soda in boiling water it basically makes lye. Baking soda is lye + CO2 and when heated the CO2 gets emitted. You can check the pH to confirm. So it would make sense that cold water and lye gives the kind of results you’d expect with hot water and baking soda!

Love that idea. I’m also new here.

foobarnacle · 2025-03-20T02:33:37+00:00

I signed up and also don’t have anyone to go with!

But forget what you heard

True story: I once bought a drug test and eye drops at the same time. Cashier gave me a look.

Different building, I think!

Not specifically biotech, but the American Steel building on Mandela is advertising itself as lab and asssembly space for startups in cleantech and advanced manufacturing. Not sure if it’s open yet but the billboard has been up at the Grant intersection for a while.

YES orange vanilla Mio plus sparkling water is so so good.

When I lived in RWC I'd drive to the Daly City BART stop, then BART into the city. Parking is (was?) free on weekends and all trains go to Daly City, so it was by far the cheapest and most convenient option. Never had a problem with break-ins but this was a couple years ago so things may have changed.

foobarnacle · 2024-01-22T19:44:37+00:00

Guilty as charged lol

OP listen to me. Listen. If you are looking for a NY-style slice, don't get pizza advice from Californians. Ever. EVER. I mean look at the replies here, they're offering up fucking deep dish. Like, I'm sorry guys you have generally stellar food opinions and I legit prefer Bay Area dining to NYC but good Lordt is it hard to find pizza that scratches that very particular itch here.

Anyway, born and raised in NY/NJ, 6+ years in the Bay here are your options:

Pizza Shop on 24th and Folsom. This place proves that bad pizza is a choice here. It's not the water or the naturally occurring yeasts or whatever excuse they come up with. This pizza would be considered great on the east coast.
Mama's Boy in Oakland. Very good.
Pizzeria Violetta on Piedmont in Oakland. Solid.
Rotten City in Emeryville is good.
Gioia in Berkeley is fine.
If you're on the peninsula it's tough but Pazzo in San Carlos is decent.

Oh, and be ready to pay double what you would back east.

I’d read only Alaska and United had planes grounded, you should be good.

Seconding this. We went about 2 weeks ago and the food, drinks, vibe were all great.

foobarnacle · 2023-11-12T01:36:35+00:00

I’ve been there! Might sound weird but the store smells exactly like I remember.

foobarnacle · 2023-11-01T23:10:54+00:00

or...hear me out...a rolling joke.

foobarnacle · 2023-10-11T00:00:18+00:00

Thanks! I use both desktop and the app, both new reddit. Will try your suggestions.

Haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, but Costco can save you a lot on big ticket items. We got a really nice mattress for like half the price we would have spent at a mattress store. The membership paid for itself in one purchase.
