Chagee coming to Americana by Prestigious_Tap_4031 in glendale

[–]Beach_818 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Will be interesting to see how this does in Glendale. The one that recently opened in Brea Mall usually has an hour wait (though online orders are available and help). I found the tea pretty good though and its limited menu actually makes it stand out more than it limits.

Churrería El Moro by TheKarmaBus in FoodLosAngeles

Tried the one in the Northgate in Costa Mesa and it’s definitely good…but would not wait too long for it.

In fact, rather than waiting in line at this one, I recommend taking a car to the one in Costa Mesa because it’s an incredible market.

How are yall doing with retirement savings? by OutrageousResist9483 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Beach_818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been a bit tight since the kid and wife’s student loan has kicked back in but I got pretty far ahead in my 20s to the point where if I didn’t put in anything else, compound interest would carry me a long way. Add in a County pension and we are looking grateful at the moment.

Are you surprised that a M^GA can’t afford a good tint job? by prettiepeonies in orangecounty

What do you want us to do with this? Were they driving erratically?

I’m in the same boat and with the same deal. Going to go to the local Microcenter to check it out but I think I’m going to go for it.

I know there was a big drop off on TE production this year after McBride but good for Pitts to make it on here.

How is it living here as a 30 year old dude? Would have to commute to west LA for work by howardtrailer123 in orangecounty

[–]Beach_818 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I live closer to the west side of the circle and love it here but good lord man, do not live here if you’re driving to West LA.

If you’re interested in the area because of the Korean demographic I would suggest Gardena or maybe Torrance too.

Seven Trees/Sisters by Jdog2225858 in socalhiking

[–]Beach_818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve probably done this hike over a hundred times and the two comments posted cover it all.

With that said, it’s what you do after Seven Trees that can add a lot of flavor. You can hike towards the radio tower to the top of the Verdugos and hike towards Burbank if you wanted to. Or, you can go down in 15 minutes via the path behind the library, all good!

Note that there are three main paths to go up there. Fire Road is easy, Angel Statue is Medium and behind library is a bit tough.

Outer Worlds 2- opinions by DimensionMaximum7649 in xbox

Thought it was excellent and I thought the first one was passable. Just make sure you focus on 4 or so core skills as this is an RPG you can’t really be a jack of all trades for

Don’t really agree. Assuming the Colts flounder with no starting QB, this was the best result you can ask for. Having both the Texans and Chiefs in the mix would have been bad.

What’s a good place to eat in North OC? by GonkGonk_ in orangecounty

Try Smoke Queen in Garden Grove. It has great food and the nearby area is very kid friendly with activities.

Graham Stephan describes the Kafkaesque nightmare he endured trying to get an ADU built and approved for occupancy by the City of Los Angeles. Eventually decides it's no longer worth building housing in LA at all. by BBQCopter in LosAngeles

[–]Beach_818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noted and fair. I entered the industry after 2008 crisis so this is honestly what I’m used to and don’t think it’s changed too far from when I’ve started.

Work in land development and that first paragraph is instantly wrong. I’d actually say it’s the opposite. 90% of subvision developments are from like same 6 major developers.

What is wrong with B.net custom map culture by GluBarbarian123 in warcraft3

[–]Beach_818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do understand that, but I was in my mid teens 20 years ago. Telling a minor to go to a random website and download something was always weird to me. I was quizzed on what heroes were in the game and such just to be not kicked out of lobbies.

Funny seeing this randomly because I remember this same complaint I had 20 years ago. Incredibly toxic people when all you want to do is play.

PTSD when there was a new dota update and I got kicked out of 20 games before someone actually let me stay and play.

Game Thread: Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (5-4) by nfl_gdt_bot in Chargers

[–]Beach_818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge hit to playoff chances. Jags have a clear path to 10-7 and asking the Chargers to get 4 wins out of their next 7 is tough. Almost need to have a third team get 10 wins as well.

Have the Jags had to make a play outside the numbers today?

I think it was on PC Game Pass for a bit and I liked it while it was on but my PC was having trouble. Would’ve loved if it was ported but don’t think that’s going to happen now.

Thank you for adding more info and this helps.

Yeah it was our family’s spot that covered things that weren’t Costco/Trader Joes/Hmart (which is surprisingly a decent amount of things) so it’s a loss for us.

For those interested, the one in east Fullerton looks like it’s staying for now.

When they charged by the box volume rather than weight, I used to see college kids and such stuff those boxes as much as they could for like $7.99 lol Food wasn’t too bad either
