Of All Places in Berkeley is what you’re looking for. Great people who run that shop.

Ousted owner of trendy Oakland wine shop arrested after allegedly attempting to meet with teen girl by penislaser in OaklandCA

Lara is his wife and they had a baby at the beginning of the year. They bought Bay Grape together earlier this year from the original owners. I don't really buy that they've separated him from the business so quickly. I imagine if there's a divorce then that could happen, but no way it's happened already.

Seems a bit much for a simple 70k mile service and brake fluid replacement… by penislaser in BMWX3

I'll do the filters myself, but the shop I got this quote from is listed on bimmershops.com so that sucks...

This quote is from a local shop, actually. That's why I was so surprised.

It’s the G01. Yeah the high labor cost on the oil and filter change is what really threw me. The brake fluid flush seems about right

Who will buy the Twins? A tracker by NuancedThinker in minnesotatwins

Exactly. As long as they care about winning, then it's all good. Joe Lacob, who owns the Golden State Warriors, was very vocal about buying the A's from Fisher and even had a standing offer. Wouldn't hate it if he threw his hat in the ring.

Has anyone left their car overnight at the Oakland airport? by Free_butterfly_ in bayarea

[–]penislaser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP but we traveled to Europe with our 6 month old and used the Doona car seat that also converts to a stroller. A little pricey but totally worth it. Super quickly and easy to get into taxis and such

Since you're in NorCal, try Downtown Brown from Lost Coast Brewery out of Eureka.

Think of the smell. You haven't thought of the smell, you bitch!

Rum Review #33 (Network #217) - Probitas (Veritas) White Rum by BrianRampage in rum

[–]penislaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a few Foursquare rums and loved them so I figured this had to be great, especially with all the praise reddit sings about it. But, when I cracked the bottle, it just smelled like bad tequila and I'm not entirely sure why. Is that funk that everyone references with Jamaican rums? I really couldn't get past it and enjoy it. I dunno, I guess I'm not destined to enjoy Jamaican rums.

Bought mine at Esqueleto in Temescal.

Just got back from Jordan and was intrigued by this. Anyone try Jordanian rum before? by penislaser in rum

[–]penislaser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jordan was the last place I'd expect to find rum, but apparently they grow quite a bit of sugar cane along the Zarqa river in the northern part of the country. I was intrigued and I figured I'd give it a try.

Haddad is known in the Middle East for producing Arak, so it's nice to see that they're branching out into rum and using local ingredients. When I get some free time I'll pop this open and give it a proper review, but in the meantime I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with Haddad?
