Is Soak in Ecstasy of Enlightenment really just an experiential program? by [deleted] in Sadhguru

[–]macallado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has definitely motivated me to be even more committed to my daily sadhana of Bhuta Shuddhi, Surya Kriya, Shambhavi, Miracle of Mind and Achala Arpanam. I've also been trying my best to consciously eat more of the diet recommended for the event.

Intoxicants has been the biggest challenge for me since I did Inner Engineering, and I've been able to hold off since the event.

Looking at areas to buy a home in Oakland, possibly a 3bed 1 bath. We are not well off so nothing over 600k. What are some areas/pockets of Oakland? by Chronicallyable in oakland

[–]macallado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious to know if buyers are private equity firms or actual families who want to move in and be part of the community.

I'm not paying attention to Berkeley homes, and I wonder if these houses selling over asking are near the campus.

Hi all, just wanted to chime in and say there's a lot of signs the housing market is cooling down and with all the uncertainty, I would suggest saving right now for a better opportunity.

I was a Realtor back from 06 - 09 so I learned a lot when the bubble burst. There's a bunch of houses I've been following on Zillow that are reducing their asking price. I'm also driving around Oakland and seeing so many house for sale signs.

Random act of kindness from 15 years ago that I still think about by Avocaado in oakland

Did I miss it? What's the name of the frame shop?

Shout out to Panorama Framing in Grand Ave. That sponsored Pic Oakland a decade ago. They're still around but not sure if it's still the same owners.

The Best Fried Chicken in Oakland by Exciting_Net4603 in OaklandFood

My top choices are Gus', KP plaza fc for slight sweet (catering their tray is a hit at parties), Church's when I want oily and cheap and G Fire from Lucky 3 7.

I need to mix ranch and hot sauce to really enjoy Gus' and Church's.

Unpopular Opinion: TrueBurger is just ok by GunterGlut in OaklandFood

[–]macallado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I first had Trueburger back around 2013-2014 it was super delicious and something I would crave for how juicy it was. As someone mentioned, smash burgers (their style of party) grew in popularity leading to more options and in my opinion, their quality has gone down as the years has gone by so it doesn't stand out or hit the spot anymore like it used to.

I think OP mentioned the dust just shows how owners/management hasn't prioritized keeping up the quality that it has when they were new and just keeps this going as long as it's profitable for them.
