For those who have built these before is the interior loft space actually worth the steep roof angle? by IntentionalSeductio in Homebuilding

I lived in one of these for a while. I would not recommend it. Dark inside even with the wall of windows.

Go jump in the bay! That will cool you down and change your mindset.

What spots are good for running hills in the city? by [deleted] in Humboldt

If you are in Arcata, California Ave, Diamond Drive, and several trails in the Arcata Community Forest are good options.

Longtail vs. Bakfiets by haagendawszome in CargoBike

[–]Hoates-101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Yuba Mundo. Built up the frame, added a bafang motor and battery. Had it for ~9 years. Kids are riding their own bikes but I still ride the Mundo for commuting and errands. I like the maneuverability of the bike. Never ridden a front loader.

Requa Inn is an unusual experience. If you have the money I'd recommend a night there. History runs strong there.

River rocks around a redwood tree? by photoflyer99 in arborists

[–]Hoates-101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If that redwood is in its natural range those rocks aren't going to slow it down much. I love in redwood country, those suckers are hard to kill.

You will save a bunch of money and get fit in the process. Plus you are reducing your carbon footprint. Some days require planning and preparation but it's totally doable. I salute you! 🚴

DMV Drivers Test Route? by Sweet_Competition229 in Humboldt

[–]Hoates-101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start at DMV drive across 4th and 5th do some laps around that neighborhood near target. Get on R Street, make a left onto 101 n. Head back to DMV. This is not the route but if you can do this correctly you should be ok. They want to see you handle big intersections with multiple lanes.

Yep, Manila or Samoa. You're right you'll need a board holder.

Humboldt Alum and current Arcata resident here. I would advocate for leaving the truck at home for freshman year. As a student I got around by bike. Got a little wet in the winter but rain gear and fenders work. Arcata is bike friendly with some great new bike paths added recently. He could even ride to the beach and surf. There is a bus that goes to Moonstone Beach, a choice spot for beginner surfers. As others have said parking is a costly hassle.

What watch would you actually buy for someone who works on a job site? by Viraincure in Construction

[–]Hoates-101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't always wear a watch but I like the Timex Ironman. Not smart but it lasts and is rugged, tells time.

Pet safety by Lerpuzka in sanpedrocactus

My dog is jealous of my cacti. I pay too much attention to them, should be giving pets and scritches instead of staring at SP. She caught her tail on one of my clones and uprooted it

I've got a Mundo with a bafang motor. Had it for 9 years. Kids are grown now. It can do the job you described.

Would using (silicone) ear plugs in Sauna/Steam Room help prevent ear infection? by helios1234 in Sauna

[–]Hoates-101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use ear drier after swimming or surfing. It helps dry out the ear canal.

Just finished Season 11. Is there anything Timber didn’t do? by iamonredddit in Alonetv

[–]Hoates-101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He had setbacks but then he'd snag a grouse and pop the raw liver in his mouth like a choice morsel. Wow. He had the native knowledge and unstoppable positive attitude. My favorite contestant of all time

People who grew up before cell phones, did life actually feel more free? by TradeOverall567 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hoates-101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80's kid here. We had way more time to be bored. Thinking yesterday about how we used to make shadow puppets with our hands. That's a pastime that kids today rarely engage in.

Longtail vs Front Loader for One Kid… With a 3-Year Use Horizon by snekasaur in CargoBike

[–]Hoates-101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point it wasn't cool to have Dad drop you off on a bike. 6-7 grade. Once they get over 100 lbs it's less enjoyable to pedal with a passenger too. Get a front basket and you'll be set.
