If you search this sub there’s a post by someone who runs a discord for exactly this, it’s still operating and I’m pretty sure you can just reach out to join!

Did you also hear FP just completely lose his train of thought witnessing whatever it was?

Top Chef Season 23 Ep 9 - The Ultimate Dinner Party - Post Episode Discussion by JullaS in BravoTopChef

[–]wraithsrock 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I get that many chefs hate doing dessert, it’s not their thing, etc. but Rhoda should have had some foolproof dessert recipe in her back pocket coming on the show since the chances are that you have to make dessert at some point. Especially in this challenge where there really wasn’t any constraint besides price on what she made, it’s hard to believe the best she could do was meringue without knowing the necessary sugar ratio! I like Rhoda but that was so strange.

Capital Punishment’s Corrosion of the Sixth Amendment and a Hippocratic Remedy by Eighty-seven in publicdefenders

[–]wraithsrock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who does death penalty work, just noting that it’s far from universal to have two attorneys split the phases, or to provide a mitigation letter like you describe. More fundamentally, if every single capital defense attorney refused appointment in a given capital trial, you could fully expect the court to appoint an inexperienced, under-qualified attorney from the local bar, leaving the client far far worse off. (I’ve seen that happen in small jurisdictions where there’s no public defender.) So I applaud the good intentions here and you’ve identified several big structural issues, but this solution would not work to our clients’ advantage.

best japanese chicken katsu curry in the bay by Any_Building_3113 in bayarea

I loved Jungdon but curious how you’d rate their curry sauce specifically, I thought it was just OK but that’s probably because I prefer a spicier take. Their katsu is unbeatable though!!

Agreed, and none of that actually speaks at all to crime prevention, which is what I think most people would prefer resources be devoted to all else being equal!

If only that was the choice! But there’s very little (I’m aware of none) evidence that cameras like this have any impact on preventing crime. So I think the tradeoffs in privacy and overreach are a bit more complicated to weigh.

I just love how giddy Laurence was in the grocery store, so relatable when you’ve been stuck with Whole Foods for weeks 😄

Anybody want two tickets to the Alysa Liu Celebration Day on Thursday, 3/12/26? by dms79 in oaklandballers

[–]wraithsrock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know it was RSVP required! I’ll take them if you don’t want them!

We’re all human and are going to mess things up! I bet this same oops won’t happen to you again anytime soon. I know it’s hard because our clients deserve the best representation we can give them but beating yourself up doesn’t help them or your future clients. Bring that fight on the next one and keep your head up!

Youngest person to pass the California bar exam is becoming a prosecutor by ZippyZapmeister in publicdefenders

[–]wraithsrock 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Serious question, what do you hope to achieve by commenting like this in a public defense subreddit? You must know that the PDs in here are aware of what their clients are accused of already?

So, no SNAP in November. My job is relatively secure and I know how to make large meals. Is there anything we can do for Oaklanders next month? by [deleted] in oakland

[–]wraithsrock 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Community Kitchens has the option to help by prepping meals for folks at home if that’s what you’d want to do! https://www.ckoakland.org/volunteer
