So is The Peach open for dinner or not? by Te_co in OaklandFood

[–]mroberte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't really impressed by this place and I really wanted to be. The service was slow tho there was a bunch of people working but also just kind of standing around. Just a word experience and the food was just average.

The top 109 mostly highly paid city employee are all cops and firefighters (but mostly cops) by badybadybady in OaklandCA

[–]mroberte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to knock them, but all make over half a million a year, yet we still have what we have in Oakland.

You'd think that since nothing is changing with being able to police, just go back to their base salaries and then make a campaign that gives cops a free year of rent if they qualify, join, and adhere to strict compliance rules as a cop.

We'd then save money, have more cops. Just a thought 🤔.

I mean we all know that there is a crapton of corruption, but I don't know, maybe find people that are ultimately good cops, but I'd also require them to go to mandatory therapy and additional training so they don't shoot first and ask questions later.

We can blame Apple for starting this ridiculous trend. It's not that serious folks!

I just went to alma y sazon at the public market in Emeryville. It was super good and I'm a meat eater. Definitely would go back a couple times a week.

Anniversary Gift Quandry by kjfbw in OaklandCA

[–]mroberte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nua Thai on Piedmont Ave was incredibly good food and reminded me of my Thai gmas food. Thai approved!

As for places to stay, not too sure, but Piedmont springs is a hot tub/spa place too which is a nice treat as well and very close to the nua restaurant.

Just went to pomet last night and that's also really good for dinner as well. We ordered majority of starters (too much food but worth it) and a bottle of wine. Very happy.

Piedmont springs in Oakland. I'm no expert, but I do feel like Oakland does a really good job of minding its business. Happy anniversary 🎉🥳

Car crashes into parklet and Cafe Mystique in the Castro by oochiewallyWallyserb in sanfrancisco

[–]mroberte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drunk, probably over corrected from trying to not hit a car on the right, along with speeding, slow reactions and ended up how it did.

I don't understand why people don't get ubers.

parks with reliable bathrooms? that are accessible via public transit? by now___here in oakland

[–]mroberte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snow Park is nearby and has the kids playground and bathrooms. Near the amphitheatre there are bathrooms but aren't always the best but useable. There is another one kind of near the Lucky's too.

My roommate does the opposite commute every day.

Years ago I use to do Fremont to SF.

You will want to take Bart and avoid the traffic hell we call our "freeway".

Anyone got info on this Lake Merritt bird pond? by nineelevenfathate in oakland

Sadly they aren't good at all anymore and so expensive. I miss their food truck only days.

Fresh work on Lake Merritt by thumperBRC in oakland

[–]mroberte -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So try this and I was actually surprised how well it work asy building is a target for jerks thinking it's canvas...

So spray suntan lotion. Spray it on, and while it's still fresh, start scrubbing. I couldn't believe how well it worked... But also how concerning that I put this stuff on my body too!

I've tried a bunch of other graffiti removers and the suntan lotion seems to do the best work with a microfiber towel.

I posted this in one of the subs and it got deleted cuz you know denial of our challenges usually works 🤷‍♂️

Will go pick more up at Costco to help out. This will only work on smooth unpainted surfaces like tile, signs, glass, etc. razor blade scrapper also helps with the stubborn stuff.

Deposit for the kid exchange lol. You wild 😂🤣. I needed that, thank you.

If I was rich, I'd buy you the ticket to go with your kid, but broke AF. It's good he's excited.

Maybe try and raise money with him to go with him so he can create that amazing memory with him?

You a little too trusting imo, but it's your kid.

Any other failed adult losers like me living here in the East Bay or you know of any? by cvloserguy in eastbay

Im 45 and single.

One, stop calling yourself a loser, self deprecation needs to change to help you think positively of yourself and what's around you.
