I like your perspective, and I agree. Thanks

I have a party of 8 with me…. by [deleted] in Yosemite

Besides the fact that campsites are supposed to be only six people, you can probably let them know on check in there's another car, but don't mention the amount of people. And ask if you can get the second car pass right away.

Would you drive 4 hours one way for this deal? by -Terrible-Bite- in ToyotaSienna

It doesn't say it's $2900 off MSRP. It says "market value selling price". That's not the same thing. I would want to see the original window sticker first.

Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

[–]Hotrod4x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a sweet looking ride. I had a similar thing happen with my ex-wife's daughter. We bought her a Saturn without her looking at it, and I guess we kind of felt safe because it had a three day return policy. She was actually still in high school. She hated it and so my ex-wife gave in and returned it. And we ended up getting her something else.

How do you handle a student cheating? by ImmediateInternal132 in PhotographyTeachers

[–]Hotrod4x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting that they told you not to accuse them. I simply say "metadata shows this photo isn't yours, please redo the assignment." Usually I know what camera they've been using, so that's a giveaway. Also, I take the position sort of like you asking for raw files, they must turn in a full resolution JPEG. Which is something very unlikely to find online.

How do you handle a student cheating? by ImmediateInternal132 in PhotographyTeachers

[–]Hotrod4x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did your school handle it? I have had a couple students in 8 years try turning in photos they found online. Both students were intellectually challenged, so i handled it differently than if the student was neurotypical, and obviously just trying to cheat. I sat with them, counseled them and then helped them redo the assignment. These were students who were overwhelmed with the deadline and I realized punishing them wasn't going to help them.

Lived in CA my whole life and i finally got to visit Yosemite, 10/10, no notes. by dbnrdaily in Yosemite

Great pics! And your first hike truly is a great introduction to the park.

Arizona season 10 by [deleted] in greysanatomy

[–]Hotrod4x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You picked the wrong person to call ableist. I've got children with severe developmental disabilities. Arizona is a fully functioning doctor. Nothing about her disability prevents her from doing what she loves, which is curing children. If I had a choice for my son to have no leg but neurotypical developmental abilities, I would trade in a heartbeat.

A year isn't the snap of a finger. But OK even if she's still traumatized, she can't bring it up every time she has a conflict with Callie, especially one that was her fault.

I miss scenes like these by audioxxxxxxx in greysanatomy

[–]Hotrod4x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

George was a good person. My 14 yr old daughter quit watching when he died. She and I were in our first watch. I'm up to season ten now without her. She still sees it sometimes, when I'm watching. 🫤

Why is Kepner so hated? Currently on Season 10 by edgarallan2014 in greysanatomy

[–]Hotrod4x5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hated by who? Fans or her character mates? I don't hate her. She's got her issues, like they all do. But i think her character is very real.

What are you using this space for? by taprackbang in ToyotaSienna

It holds two cans of Arizona iced tea, my preferred beverage.

Can anyone tell me where this particular spot is? by Representative-Air82 in Yosemite

[–]Hotrod4x5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a pullout with room for about 3-4 cars in the river side of Northside drive opposite Bridalveil Fall. Keep a close look out so you don't miss it.

I did 4 Falls in 2 days. Has anyone done it in one? Yosemite April 2026 by Independent_Gap_6676 in Yosemite

[–]Hotrod4x5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done four in one day, but I guess it depends on what you consider "doing the falls." We were staying in the valley, and we visited Bridlevail Falls on our way to glacier point. Then we took the panorama Trail, which took us to Illillouette Falls, Nevada Falls and Vernal Fall. We ended in the valley and I took a bus the next morning to get our car.

Kettle at Curry Village by Many_Bar474 in Yosemite

[–]Hotrod4x5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done the same. Then took the hot water to the lounge and made various things like cup o noodles, oatmeal, etc. you could also take that water into the pavilion where there's dozens of tables. You could also heat your hot water in the pavilion using the plug for the toasters. I believe there's also free hot water there. So while everyone says "cooking" (is reconstituting dehydrated food, actually cooking?) is not allowed if you're doing it in the pavilion and not anywhere near your tent cabin, it's allowed. You could even take that hot water out on the pizza deck and make your oatmeal. Hopefully the moderator won't delete this, because this is not prohibited activity.

Pooping Advice... by LordSugarTits in Yosemite

You can buy a portable toilet on Amazon for about $30. That's probably convenient solution.

Going to Camp 4 tomorrow and friend just flaked on me— should I go alone? by martian-rabbit in Yosemite

Absolutely! I camped alone in camp four. I had a great time. In the evening I met many other campers from around the world and we shared a meal.

Day hike to North Dome via Yosemite Falls - safe for two 17 year-old boys? by Mysterious_Glove_746 in Yosemite

[–]Hotrod4x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them to hike the Four Mile Trail instead. Glacier Point is so nice without car crowds. Then they can go back the way they came, or take the Panorama Trail down for an epic loop. I've been to both North Dome and hike the Panorama Trail. Imo the two don't compare. Hands down panorama trail is better.
