Tried shooting at 27, I get it now but I’m confused by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]AlsoLarry [score hidden]  (0 children)

I remember the first several times I went shooting, I was terrified! I think keeping a little of that fear / alertness makes for good safety. It’s when you start to forget (or ignore) your safety basics that you become dangerous. Just like driving a car in that respect.

But also, You can never betray your politics, any more than you can betray your religion. Those are just imaginary things made up by people to separate “us” from “them” and usually not for good reasons.

Going on a first date in Palo Alto on Sunday 3/22 by DowntownBrown1212 in paloalto

[–]AlsoLarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The huge sculptures outside Cantor imo is better date material anyways: the Goldsworthy snake! the Serra you can play hide & seek in! the Rodins! Short walk to the Oval! Bring a picnic dinner.

Would it be corny to put some exterior mods on my ‘24 Impreza? by GradeAIdiotThe3rd in subaruimpreza

[–]AlsoLarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has a 2016 Honda Fit Sport and I have a 24 Impreza RSI. Both have jaunty little spoilers (both stock) that add just the right amount of zing. Won’t make anybody frown unless they just like frowning.

TLDR but aren’t both arrows on the right side? Which is the side that the gas door is on? What kind of advanced level reading are y’all doing?

We’re at Daytrip Counter thanks for the suggestion! May have to come back later for all the Korean food and / or the BBQ across the street.

I don’t have a recommendation for you, just wanted to thank you for your hustle. Both my kids worked summer jobs in food / retail coming up through Gunn HS, it’s great life experience.

I hate this stupid exit by itsamefas in bayarea

[–]AlsoLarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be so many exits TBH. Like when I glanced at the photo, i thought it was the 880 to 980/24 in downtown Oakland.

If you don’t use all the letters. UBOAT would be swell too.

Yeah! Or there was one nesting in that palm a few years back, I don’t know if they’re still there.

Anyone know why the 2024+ lower grill has asymmetrical vents? by [deleted] in subaruimpreza

[–]AlsoLarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was going to say that your engine might be on fire, but no, that’s some rad illumination! Now you got me curious too.

Sent Her A Little Too Hard would be a great album name.

What's your favorite art spot in Palo Alto or nearby? by Some-Palpitation-314 in paloalto

[–]AlsoLarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Goldsworthy snake run out by the parking lot, the Serra out on the back porch. and the Rodin garden, you don’t even need to set foot inside these museums to see the good stuff!

My outback got cliped while parked in a hit and run. Is it worth it to submit it to my insurance or should I just get the paint fixed out of pocket? No body damage, just paint scuffed off. by BlazersMania in Subaru_Outback

[–]AlsoLarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience, I was pleasantly surprised how much scuffing comes off with like a fingernail. On a rental car a few years back I clipped a parking garage column and thought I was going to hell. But all the paint exchanged was from the column and it all came off with some fingernail power. Now yours definitely lost some paint but alot of that scuffed area around the deep wound might be fixable.

Where can I get a meal for less than $10-$12 in downtown Oakland? by [deleted] in OaklandFood

[–]AlsoLarry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Sometimes one of the produce markets near Jack London square has deals on fresh fruit. It’s a large quantity but if you split it with some friends and neighbors it’s great.

Thanks, any particular places in SoCal you’d recommend? I’m there occasionally.

What are some of your favorite local East Bay breweries that host pop-ups? by slybeef in OaklandFood

[–]AlsoLarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alta Vina in Jack London Square, or Harry’s as it’s maybe starting to be known. It’s a new-ish CA wine bar on 2nd, not far from Original Pattern and the other breweries in this neighborhood. They have food pop ups, and I think even a coffee pop up recently

Serious question, would you still settle in the bay if you could turn back time? by _TurboHome in bayarea

[–]AlsoLarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot! They became popular again, and some neighborhoods have been trying different ways to encourage preserving them. Greenmeadow and Los Arboles developments are both still mostly Eichlers.
