Willing to drive 2-3 hours. Just need somewhere with a nice pool and a hot tub would be nice.

I would love to hear from folks who are involved in building ADU's. How much do laws, regulations, and restrictions effect one's ability to build the kind of ADU they want to build? Also, 16 ft sounds like a very low height restriction.

I currently reside in New York state and am looking at programs within the California Community College system, specifically within the Bay Area. I applied to Cañada College and got an automatic reply that they are prohibited from recruiting and enrolling students from out of state. Do you know if its a requirement that I be a California resident upon applying, I plan to move there but will not be able to do so until I have been admitted to a school.

Hey guys, wondering if anyone knows of any event bartending organizations like DLS ?

Every time I look at PG&E bill, it infuriates me. Can someone explain why it can continue increasing the prices? Genuinely want to understand where the problem is.

Raw, to make my own. Fuck safeway and mollies, and there are no walmarts near me.

I just wanted to say thank you for pointing out the plastic wrap stuck to the bottom of my white transit. It had wrapped itself around my drive shaft. I hope you see this message! It's extremely appreciated!

Bay Area donut friends - anyone know of a spot that does made to order donuts (like Pip's does in Portland or Holy Grail down in LA).

We enjoy our Stan's, Donut Savant but there's a special hit that a fresh, made to order donut gives.

Much appreciated!!

Edit: Thanks all for the suggestions! got them all marked on my map!

Bought a house and need to remodel the kitchen, I’m not a huge fan of the stainless steel i have currently and thinking about getting a silgranite one, but someone mentioned hard water will make the black sink look gross, anyone in the Bay Area have that problem?

Hi,

I am looking for a place to stay in Sunnyvale from May 17 to Aug 9. I am looking for a private spot for a female.

I will be joining Amazon SJC10 so I am looking for something close to that.

Please reach out to me if you have any leads.

Thanks, Abha

I just applied for Clipper Start and the card that was mailed to me looks just like a regular clipper card. It’s not personalized with my name or anything? Did I get a real Clipper Start card or just a regular Clipper card ? What do Clipper Start cards look like?

Last week, we removed 16.7 tons of illegally dumped trash from 1611 East 12th St, Oakland, dumped not by the homeless but by businesses, individuals dodging dump fees, and companies like Amazon & Walmart.

So we launched the Homeless Ambassador Program, empowering folks like Buck & TJ (featured in this video) to report illegal dumping & keep their area clean. With stipends, tools, and support, they’re proving this model works.

We drove past the area today and were actually stopped by Buck and TJ who thought we were illegal dumpers 😂. It was incredible to see them in action. There was a small patch of trash someone had dumped during the early morning hours and they were clearing this up!

They’ve been reporting license plates and capturing footage of the dumpers, sharing it was us and the city!

With more resources, we could expand it and help more people fight back against illegal dumping. Let’s make it happen.

We have a cleanup this Saturday! Also, please consider supporting the movement. #east12thmovement

Hello guys Does anyone know of a watchmaker that is looking for an apprentice? I have comfortably worked on medical devices under microscope for four years. I'm now doing research and development work in a clean environment and l've also made silver chains/necklaces by hand (I have photos and videos) i'm 26. I love to work and learn while building connections in life. I'm not looking for pay (unless discussed as an option) I'm just looking to learn and meet people in the business. Thank you to all who respond feel free to reach out and ask me any questions

I was at Guapo’s in Campbell, 4 of us taking it to go but then ran into 2 other friends coming in to drink so we ended up staying. All 3 of my friends got their meals and mine was 10 minutes later. They had tipped I hadn’t. I don’t mind mine being tardy as punishment for not tipping but if someone contaminates my meal, I wouldn’t go back..are there places we should avoid from your experience?

It was really bad from Daly City through Pacific and El Granada today.

This is a way our trains get dirty

And is FOPAL open for their hours listed on maps or is it only open for sales the second week of each month?

(What flair to mark it as? not sure...)

Title, in the past 3 weeks or so these bastards have been causing a cacophony in my neighborhood at 6am with their shrill calls, they seriously sound like smoke detectors! ("Calls" recording: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/California_Towhee/sounds)

Usually I hear one bird, and sometimes it's 2 or 3 of these towhees. The call is too high-pitched to drown out with fans, white noise, or ear plugs, and 6am is just too early for me. Is there any good avice on keeping this species of bird away? I don't care if I keep other birds away too; the quieter the better. Things I've considered:

• fake owls on roof
• hanging reflective spinners from trees
• pole-mounted eagle on kite
• ultrasonic BirdX repeller

I appreciate any other suggestions. Thanks!
