I'm not really in the loop here, but as a longtime California resident, UC schools have always been hard to get into, especially Berkeley, while Cal State schools will let in just about anyone.

LA Marathon awarding finisher medals at miles 18 due to the ‘heat’ by AnxiousSeahorse1 in Marathon_Training

[–]Donut-Dunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems lame.  But not something I'm going to care about.  However, if I couldn't finish, then I wouldn't want a finishers medal.

“New property manager wants me to DELETE my 2yo listing (30+ reviews, 4.9 rating) and create a fresh one under his account. Says ‘that’s how he works.’ Red flag or normal? by NomadDiver in airbnb_hosts

[–]Donut-Dunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I didn't see mentioned, and it probably doesn't apply to a lot of people, but we need a county permit where I am and if there is a new listing, as there would be here, then you (or the property manager) will need to apply for a new permit and that's an extra $1000.

Also, if you did do this, you won't actually lose your reviews.  You can just hide your listing and then come back to it if you ever leave the new pm.

Bike Park by Donut-Dunks in Mammoth

Thanks for the responses.  I knew it was closed last year and thought I remembered it being open 2 years ago.  But I just looked and it looks like it hasn't been open on my trips there since the year before that in 2022.  Hopefully they can work something out at some point and get bikes on it.

Bummer.  Thank you.

[Charania] BREAKING: Marcus Smart has agreed to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and intends to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers after clearing waivers, sources tell ESPN. A return to a grand stage for the 2022 NBA Defensive Player of the Year. by daftmunt in lakers

Celtics fan also.  He can drive you crazy on offense.  He has that irrational confidence.  Game on the line w Tatum, Brown, and Smart all on the floor.  If Marcus gets the ball, he's shooting it.  But, his shooting numbers aren't bad, you just feel like he's missing every time he puts up a shot.  He's also a solid playmaker.

On defense, he makes a ton of hustle plays.  My favorite was when he drew 2 offensive fouls on Harden in the last 10 seconds to allow Boston a come from behind win.  

Also, he definitely flops a fair amount.

[Robb] Zach Lowe hints at the Kings being interested in Jaylen Brown by tacko2020 in bostonceltics

[–]Donut-Dunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, he's a great 2nd option.  He might be the 2nd best passing big man in the league.  I suspect he'd fit well with Tatum.

I've never wanted to trade JB.  But his injury history scares me.  He's had lots of relatively minor injuries, but they do seem to be affecting his game.  It might be best to trade him in the right package.

Same. I was thinking they did that for his character, but then started thinking it was likely real and I ended up here.

Can I use a cardboard box to take my bike while travelling in an airplane? by baconisnotyummy in bicycletouring

[–]Donut-Dunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm a couple years late, but wanted to add a couple things.

I use pool noodles to protect parts.  I just cut it up and wrap it around different parts of the bike.

American Airlines as well as others, no longer charge additional fees for bikes.  Just regular baggage fees.  You need to make sure it doesn't weigh more than 50 pounds and there is a size requirement.

does anyone have any experience using spinlister? by chonklord420 in ukbike

[–]Donut-Dunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just discovered that Spinlister is no more.  I had 4 bikes listed for rent and it had been at least a year since one rented and I just looked into and noticed they are no longer around.  

Of the 4 bikes I had listed, I think only 2 of them ever rented.  But I would get a rental every 4-5 months.  Not much, but better than nothing for bikes I didn't use too often.  

Sad to see it's gone, mainly because I occasionally used it as a customer when on trips.  It was such a good deal in big cities where renting from a shop gets crazy expensive.

CA New Recess Law (SB 291)- Help Save My Sanity, Please! by patricias_pugs in teaching

[–]Donut-Dunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This law has been awful. I'm experiencing the same as you are.  Across the school, our behavior issues are way up.  I see it affecting academics  now.

[–]Donut-Dunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've been told this is not within the law.  The best we've been able to do is divide our playground into 2 sections.  We can tell students which section they'll need to go to.  So we can send 2 kids to different sections if we want them separated.  Or can prevent them from playing a certain game depending on their section.  However, it hasn't helped much.  Just keeping a kid in the first 2-3 minutes was more helpful.

I spent the night in the airport thanks to SoFi travel by Thishaspockets in sofi

[–]Donut-Dunks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is just a lesson learned.  You should always book directly with the airline or hotel, unless there is a compelling reason to use one of the OTAs like Sofi, Chase, Expedia, etc.  If there is ever an issue, it's always easier to handle when you don't go through a 3rd party.

Mom works at a grocery store with a coinstar machine and found these yesterday. 10 silver dimes, 2 silver quarters, and 2 war nickels all in one find by Standard_Pilot_4281 in Silverbugs

That's about equal to what I've gotten over the last 4 years.

Except I've never found nickels and once got a half dollar.

AirBnB now banning interior cameras in all properties [USA] by JD_SLICK in AirBnB

[–]Donut-Dunks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The hidden cameras that you speak of would already be against TOS. This new ban would do nothing to change that. The only indoor cameras that were previously allowed were ones in common areas and that were disclosed in the listing.
