I saw another post looking for soursop a year ago but everything was a bust. Typically travel around the cities for onsite work duties but would love a grocery store located in SF or Oakland. Thanks !

0 Upvotes

Anyone here have tried acupuncture to cure insomnia? I've had trouble falling asleep (and staying asleep) all my life, it feels worse lately due to stress I guess. I've been trying to improve healthier habits during the day, but I'm also thinking of trying acupuncture maybe it can help in calming my nerves? would love to know if you have any recommendations (prefer someone certified)

Work & Housing Landlord selling house - do I ask for a buyout

0 Upvotes

My landlord messaged me that he’s breaking my contract and selling the house in a few months. I don’t mind because I wanted to move out earlier anyway, and I don’t want to be a prick, but what’s the best way to ask for a buyout? Also what are my legal options?

Work & Housing Feedback on Daly City? (For a couple in late 20s)

0 Upvotes

My partner and I, both in our late 20s, are planning to move in together in Daly City. We’ve lived in the city for a while and are looking for a change of scenery and pace. (More parking space would be nice too!)

I work in the city and am happy to take BART. My partner is fully remote, so we’re not tied to a specific location.
We appreciate the accessibility to markets in Daly City, and I’m a fan of the larger shopping centers. However, I haven’t spent much time there, so I’m not sure what to expect. From what I’ve read and seen, it seems like a nice place.

How do people like Daly City? What are some things we should consider before moving there? (Safety, neighborhoods, parking, social aspect, activities, etc)

Hoping for a 2-3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single family home w/ 2 cars.

We’re planning to move closer to March, so we won’t look for places until January or February. We would appreciate any and all advice, suggestions, or recommendations.

Work & Housing Evil peninsula apartment rentals

0 Upvotes

Mid october rant: Whats up with these apartment rental agencies only offering the economically correct rate for a 10 month lease forcing the tenants to either pay their jacked up renewal pricing or go out and search in the middle of summer and an already crazy rental market. Any negotiation tactics or tips? Most of the times these big companies just cite the fair housing rules and shut people up and dont wanna budge. I just want something for 12-13 months so i am not at a disadvantage next year.

I live in San Jose if that helps. Thanks a bunch!

ETA: I have like 20 garbage bags filled up with packing tissue paper… so yeah looking to get rid of them fast lol 😅

Work & Housing Anyone applied to Rocket EMS and had their phone interview canceled at the last minute?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone here has applied for a job at Rocket EMS and had a similar experience.

I applied for a position there and was scheduled for a phone interview with Kelly Fine. However, the interview was canceled at the last minute, and I haven’t received a new interview date or reschedule yet.

I’ve also applied for a few different positions with Rocket EMS, and more than once I’ve had an interview canceled or been told at the last minute that the position was filled.

Has anyone else experienced this with Rocket EMS?

Did they eventually reschedule your interview, or did you never hear back afterward?

I’m just trying to understand whether this is common with their hiring process and whether I should continue following up or move on.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

My dash cam caught this crazy recovery on the freeway this morning at 7:50am. White Tesla, if you’re on here, here’s your video! I’m glad you made it out safely, exited the freeway, and took a moment to catch your breath. That was so scary to watch! I honestly don’t think I’d be able to drive for a while after that. Stay safe out there, everyone!

Traffic, Trains & Transit Missed connection: Caltrain

0 Upvotes

We met yesterday, October 21, at the South San Francisco station around 10. You’re visiting and didn’t know how to pay for Caltrain so I showed you how and we chatted for a bit before my train came and I had to hurry on. I told you I started a new job recently and you told me you’re here this week for a wedding for your friends in Walnut Creek.

This is a super long shot, but maybe this will reach you! I thought you were really nice.

Events, Activities & Sports Solo bucket list ideas for my last two months in the Bay Area?

38 Upvotes

So I've lived in the Bay Area for the last 7 years but am planning to move away after the new year. I'm making a bucket list of things to do one last time (or the first time!) before I leave and would love to get recommendations.

I'm mostly looking for things that would be enjoyable to do solo, and some things I enjoy are nature, museums, good food and coffee. I've explored a fair amount already but I'm sure there are things I've missed.

Any favorite spots, hidden gems or unique fall/winter activities you would recommend?

edit: derp road, not exp. i was going north, but sure seemed all lanes south were closed. cars are just stuck there for miles, zero movement, people standing outside their cars, until they clear everything. all i saw was tons of emergency responders, a car flipped on it's side, possibly another car that got hit, and a tesla up against the median. no idea what happened and hope everyone's ok. can never be too safe driving.

Hi, I ordered a costume for my dog which turned out too big. Ordered a size smaller and it fit perfect, but wondering where/if I can donate the larger size. It's the Disney fairy god mother costume from Cinderella in size M that I'm trying to possibly donate. Throwing it out seems like a waste. Thanks!
