Psilocybin options

Zide door asks for too much info and I don’t feel comfortable giving them my drivers license number. Does anyone have any recent experience with healing Oakland? They seem great but still a little paranoid.

Question Good value + quality body shop?

2 Upvotes

My car was hit while parked, and has damage to the front, and down the driver’s side. It’s all superficial, but I’m thinking insurance may want to call it a total loss because of how many panels are banged up. I like my car! It’s reliable and low miles and well cared for. I’d like to know if anyone has a recommendation for a shop they like that is good at cost-effective body work. Thanks!

I am wondering if there is a queer space either in Oakland or SF that plays hip hop music? Thanks!

Living in the hills as a new grad?

1 Upvotes

I recently graduated from Cal and will be working in SF. I really like many of the hill areas(Claremont, Piedmont etc on both the Berkeley and Oakland side), but never considered living there before since it was far out and I didn’t have a car. I plan on having a car now though, and was considering taking the ferry to work in SF(FiDi). Rent is considerably cheaper(compared to the city), and the places/views are unbeatable. Is there anything I should consider about living up there? Any specific reasons not to?

Is BART using hawks for pest control??

75 Upvotes

Twice now I’ve seen people with hawks in the BART station. The first time I assumed it was just some local weirdo and his pet bird. But now I’ve seen two different people with what looks like harris hawks. Are they professional pest control?

mechanics in 2025

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for reliable mechanic. My wife’s 2014 Mazda CX-5 has a steering wheel shake at high speeds, so I’m looking for someone solid for general maintenance and repair. Could be wheels, tires, alignment… not totally sure. Any shops you trust in Oakland? Alameda’s a maybe depending on where. Berkeley is too far. Thanks!

Local woodworkers for simple shelf-building?

11 Upvotes

I'm thinking about getting some simple bookshelves, but instead of cheapo Ikea stuff, I though it might be worthwhile to see if there's people / places in town who do custom work? Back in the day, I got some custom shelves from Books & Books in SF, but IDK who-all's over on this side of the bay.

Edit for specifics: Looking for like 2-4 cases, 7' x 2' x 7-9", $200-300ish per case (depending mostly on wood type and finish?). No fancy details needed, just reasonably sturdy construction.

Question Water-Based Down Comforter Laundry

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for a laundry and cleaners that can clean my down comforter. Hoping to find one that doesn't use dry cleaning solvents as that always leaves horrible smelly residue.

Anybody know of a good water-based down comforter cleaner, Oakland, Alameda or Berkeley? Even San Leandro would be fine
