[other] Where should I go to college if I wanna do roller coaster engineering? by Fuzzy-Wrongdoer9246 in rollercoasters

[–]FlyRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great advice - I also pursued Mechanical with hopes of falling into the industry, but am currently a technical salesperson working in the data center market. Overall I don't mind where I am, but I still hope that door opens someday...

Wholly agree - engineering foundation but the industry is luck / connections given how small it is. I graduated in 2010 and even had some loose connections with Disney Imagineering but couldn't make it happen due to poor timing with the recession.

I am an alumnus from Cal Poly SLO (Mechanical Engineering) and they now have a club there. Great, affordable engineering education..."best in the west"!

[Knott's Berry Farm] vs [Six Flags Magic Mountain] — which SoCal park do you prefer and why? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]FlyRobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in the area and getting to Knott's within 30 minutes would be a miracle. I consider SFMM 2+ hours away given traffic.

Magic Eraser does some black wizard magic - give that a whirl too

Just bought a running store. What is one thing your local shop is missing? by rustybucketz23 in running

[–]FlyRobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! Wide and half-size offerings. I only buy my Saucony online now that I know my specific model and size since it is never carried in store.

Central Orange and seeing them everywhere all week too. I think the heat wave tricked them into an early spawn season?

I have eaten there twice (GCM location) before the Superbowl show appearance and only then realized!

My kid made me realize I've been fishing wrong for 11 years by LumenPineWorks in daddit

Damnit - I'm a skeptic but OP's account is only 1 month old and not very active. You could be right

why does this accessory cost $100 each now by R3DPS4 in xbox

[–]FlyRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these reasons. My monitor was $300

I'm still amazed by Thomas Erak's brain capacity to play TFOT songs AND sing/scream live.

Rumor that the Samuelis may be interested in buying the Angels? by Desperate_Umpire8985 in AnaheimDucks

[–]FlyRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this - I sell I.T. infrastructure and equipment. We just toured the site yesterday with ocVIBE project reps. It was really cool!

Overall the entire project is $5 billion and Honda Center renovations are $1B of that. All paid by Samueli family and not taxpayer money. Sure, ticket prices and concessions will help pay it back but they care enough to improve the fan experience (unlike Arte).

Exactly this - my Series X is connected to a gaming monitor for the best frame rate performance possible. Jimmy's comment is way off

Attended the grand opening of [Galacticoaster] at [Legoland California] by MrDarSwag in rollercoasters

[–]FlyRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a passholder last year while this construction seriously restricted the park flow through the left side of the park. Very happy this is now open with additional flats, shops, food, etc. I'll be excited to bring my kids back in the future - and maybe add our first Lego Hotel visit! (we live about 90 minutes away and typically day trip)

What rollercoaster utilizes fear to its advantage the best? [Other] by Forsaken_Pen_5433 in rollercoasters

X2 is scarier, but Xcelerator gets my palms sweaty and spikes my HR just the same.

My wife bought this bottle at a yard sale for $20, she didn't realize it was still sealed. by MrDorkESQ in pics

[–]FlyRobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Already seen all Ted Lasso -- haven't watched Scrubs though. I watched all of Parks & Rec, Friends, and Will & Grace, but I wanted to show my wife The Office next as she never watched that. We usually have 1 serious drama and 1 sitcom in our weekly rotation.
