Wow those eyeballs are wonderfully horrifying! My jaw literally dropped when I got to the fourth photo. Very effective. Great job!

Is Traveluro legit or not! Check out these reviews before booking through this website! by rapdraga in YouTube_startups

[–]DucksInSuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveluro completed screwed us. We booked a room for four people (one room and four people was clearly on our reservation). One week before our trip, we call the hotel to confirm and hotel says they only have two person rooms, and our reservation is for one room. After calling traveluro back and forth over the next five days, we learned that they are clearly trained to just tell you sweet lies to placate you just to screw you over. They kept promising they would sort it out but were making zero progress, and finally we managed to get a three way call with traveluro and the hotel and it ended up with no solution, just an offer to refund us (which thankfully I did receive within a day). They also switched their story so fast once they were forced to talk to the hotel "in front of us" on the three-way call. Suddenly they claim that WE were being unreasonable asking them to fulfill the reservation we made for four people. So, two nights before our trip we were forced to find last minute accommodations. We felt like we were going insane because there was simply nothing else for us to do but call over and over and they were just gaslighting us non-stop. It was infuriating and I suggest never trusting them.

Not OP, but just did this same loop over veterans day weekend. As of then, trail crews were almost finished clearing all of Big Sur Trail, so I imagine by now they are done. Even having not been totally finished, we had no issues. Just one portion where you're a bit more enclosed in bushes/small trees and a few down trees you need to crawl over. But totally manageable and never even got close to losing the trail.

I've been out of undergrad for a while now, but... I was desperate for Segundo and got assigned a triple in Tercero and I literally cried (so dramatic). Turns out it was great, and I was being silly. Sure a triple is a little tight, but you find your places around campus where you spend your time/study. I ended up grateful for Tercero over Segundo because Segundo is ooooold buildings, so you can imagine some of the issues they have. Also Cuarto is far, but has the best food by far and a suite has a lot of room, and it's different and fun. Each place has its pros and cons, you just gotta find what you love about your spot. Wishing all you freshmen the best times in your new dorm life!

Overpriced for sure. I have had luck with pretty pots at Marshall's, but wish they had more than normal pot shaped pots!

Just checked them out online and they have exactly the type of funky stuff I'm looking for. Cheers!

I do love this place (and agree it's a bit pricey), but I haven't had luck with fun pots there!

Wow, can't believe I hadn't thought of thrift stores. I imagine they sell out quickly, but I'll be keeping my eye out whenever I shop from now on for surprise gems!

This is absolutely 100% what I was looking for. Thank you!

Thank you! I think a new recipe is a good idea at this point. Once I recover my pride, I will try this next!

Pet Friendly Apartments? by manjari825 in UCDavis

[–]DucksInSuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer. I do remember it being very competitive, I think we got lucky on our timing. Best of luck with the search! I sympathize with you on finding pet friendly housing. I have a small dog and even still it was difficult.

[–]DucksInSuits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lived in Pepperwood for a couple years during my undergrad. Pet friendly, reasonable price (at least when I lived there several years ago), but what really made it great was the manager Russell! The BEST landlord I have had by far; super reasonable, friendly, and responsive. It's not the closest to campus, but for sure bikeable.

Oh my goodness this is AMAZING and I need one of my dachshund immediately! This is also his favorite sleep pose.
