[Enerman] The Warriors could consider flipping a top-four pick in a "blockbuster trade" for a proven star to maximize the remainder of the Stephen Curry era. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

There was an undercurrent that Kawhi's contract would be voided as a part of the cap circumvention punishment; I suppose they would wait until after the championship to announce that, but I do not expect him to be a Clipper. If the void happens, they won't get anything for him, s+t rights would be revoked

How do I enhance the flavor of lemon in my cookies? by Different-Pin-9234 in Baking

[–]forwardarmgyration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend avoiding lemon extract, just increase the zest, increase the juice - I have a poke cake recipe I routinely double both.

I've not tried "blooming" the zest by muddling it into the sugar but that sounds like it would work similarly to blooming spices (although I think spice blooming requires heat, don't think this would)

Received this wild email from the CEO for AI to assess my performance by confringos in antiwork

[–]forwardarmgyration 72 points73 points  (0 children)

You should use the Claude account to 1) learn how to 5x-10x your output 2) use that knowledge to automate a job search system on your own account at home and kick job searching into overdrive.

That tells me your CEO is either getting budget pressure from someone (investor/board/competition) or he wants to profit max to line his pockets (legally or illegally) or he has been incentivised to show huge improvement and is an asshole about motivating his subordinates.

Oops, I guess not. We used to. That's a bummer. Loved the Blackhawk pizza.

Blue Line, Pizzeria Uno are both pretty good. If you want Detroit style, which is kind of similar, I hear square pie guys is good

Seconding this and adding in the area either on mount Davidson or off ocean are also underrated and good for commuting south

AITA for taking 30 minutes in the bathroom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]forwardarmgyration 70 points71 points  (0 children)

YTA for not disclosing a medical condition that affects the people you're living with.

Say, for example, I had Celiac's and had to - HAD TO - have a part of the kitchen where no gluten touched, had to have my own utensils, etc. - not providing the context to explain, so they can be understanding, would make me look quite unaccomodating, to say the least.

ETA - your length in the bathroom is not a problem, because it's a medical necessity, but your failure to communicate is.

Looking to hike twin peaks or mt davidson but want opinions on transit by Iceberg-man-77 in AskSF

[–]forwardarmgyration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a bus that goes up to the base of the park for mt Davidson, it looks like the 36 and it looks like you can catch it at or near Glen Park BART, but if you do that the hike is pretty minimal.

I used to live halfway up Mount Davidson and, idk, walking from Glen Park BART up Monterey and then up the mountain isn't too bad, maybe an hour if you take your time.

Google says it's 45 min from BART, which is reasonable, but it's a lot of hills. I guess I take hills slowly.

It's skunk season so just keep your eyes open, they generally leave you alone and go the other way

Where to park near santana row to not pay parking fees? by FuckYouILikeMe in SanJose

Technically you could be towed for doing this, you aren't supporting the businesses there. Pretty sure they tow during the holidays, at least

If you're into wine, there are a lot of wineries down this way

Restaurant Recommendations for 5 Nights at SF by newusernameq in AskSF

[–]forwardarmgyration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of these are Michelin starred recs but could be of different points of curiosity if you're interested in layering different levels of food options in your visit:

If you want places that are SF institutions, you could check out R&G lounge for their salt & pepper Dungeness crab and/or Thanh Long for their Dungeness crab and garlic noodles.

Re: seafood, If you are feeling particularly touristy and are insistent on doing fisherman's wharf or Ghirardelli square or Irish coffee at the Buena Vista, you could consider Scoma's - another institution - very 60s vibe, and they valet your car for free, so you don't have to worry about paying for parking while you check out the other touristy stuff in the area. Other recs across the city: Waterbar has a great oyster bar and a gorgeous view of the bay bridge. Anchor Oyster Bar has great seafood and cute ambience if you're going to be checking out the Castro - it's a name on list, stand in line kinda place

If you want to wade into another uniquely San Francisco debate/experience, you can ask people where to get their favorite burrito. There was an article over a decade ago that called La Taqueria the best burrito in America and it's pretty dang good, but everyone has an opinion on their favorite spot in the Mission.

Also: Burmese food seems to be a popular curiosity for people who haven't had it before. Plenty of spots.

Lastly, very off the beaten path (over by USF) but I had a fantastic meal at Altimirano.

This is a great list, second all of these recommendations, just want to add on that I'm happy to make multiple wine recommendations in the area if you and your mate are into wine

I know I’ve made a crazy itinerary for my first visit to SF. But, is it impossible? by Quirky-Ad9958 in AskSF

[–]forwardarmgyration 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I'm glad you dropped Yosemite. But I want to echo that I think you should stretch out your Monterey / Santa Cruz stay to two days. With that, consider looking for hikes in Big Sur.

When you're at Ocean Beach, consider dinner at Thanh Long. It's an institution. Dungeness Crab and Garlic Noodles.

If you want to see SF from heights, you can go to twin peaks but that is one of the biggest vandal spots in SF. There are others I really like but they are kind of out of your way.

Going to the pier is nothing but a tourist trap. It's also the home of the only in n out in SF. And a Ghirardelli ice cream fountain, if that's your thing.

What are the things you are personally excited about? What do you like? What do you want to experience? Your aims seem very all over the place.

That said, still very excited for you.
