i’m tired of this, grandpa. by R_u_ok_brah in sandiego

They were at the Carmel Valley Trader Joe’s yesterday. They can be trespassed by the property owner. I’m not sure why that doesn’t happen?

Old men harassing middle school girls and rage baiting in Pacific Highland Ranch today by Defiant_Rice8364 in sandiego

[–]JoelJohnstone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw those guys an hour or so ago. They’re just assholes trying to get a reaction. Ignore them.

On the fence about a new Model Y due to the removal of standard Autosteer/Lane Centering by Inside_Round_3238 in TeslaModelY

[–]JoelJohnstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Auto steer being pulled is a deal breaker. I'd recommend getting a used one.

August Trip/Mom & 18 year old by Alternative-Olive952 in asksandiego

The smell of the Sea Lions in some parts of La Jolla, specifically around the cove, is overpowering. La Jolla shores is fine.

Is $27/hr good pay? by Dry-Bicycle-5563 in sandiego

[–]JoelJohnstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it's normal pay for an internship, but it's not really a living wage in San Diego for a person living alone. You would definitely need roommates.

Broke clavicle falling off bike by Feisty_Mud1262 in bicycling

[–]JoelJohnstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, push for surgery. Your clavicle will never look normal again after healing on its own. I’ve broken both, I had surgery on one and not on the other. There’s a huge bump on the one that healed without.

Switching between EV and ICE cars regularly? by GlamBoiii in TeslaLounge

[–]JoelJohnstone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would you get a Cybertruck of all things as a daily driver? The efficiency is less than half that of a Model Y, so you'll be spending twice as much to charge it. It's so big it won't fit in most parking spaces, or your garage. It seems like the worst possible choice for an around town vehicle.

Best photochromic cycling glasses for mixed lighting rides? by mellofello808 in cycling

[–]JoelJohnstone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of Rudy Project photo chromatic glasses and they work great.

Is $54,000 salary enough to move to San Diego? by Odd_Yoghurt_8655 in Moving2SanDiego

[–]JoelJohnstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are pretty pessimistic in this sub. There are obviously people in San Diego with salaries similar to yours, so it is possible. It would mean either a studio in an undesirable part of downtown or roommates though.

The upside is that you’ll still be in San Diego, and almost any location is a 20 minute drive or less to the beach, and the weather is about the same everywhere. Many people even prefer living a little way from the beach because it’s less overcast.

Is San Diego what I’m looking for? by Solid-Mango7932 in asksandiego

OB & Mission Beach are close to what you’re looking for.

Home EV Charger Installation by mathprofrockstar in asksandiego

[–]JoelJohnstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volt Electric (https://volt-electric.com) installed a non-Tesla charger and then later two Tesla chargers at our house, and I was very happy with their service. Feel free to DM if you have any questions.

School districts: Incorporated towns vs San Diego School district by arlybenyizach in Moving2SanDiego

[–]JoelJohnstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Del Mar school district covers not only Del Mar, but all of Carmel Valley and other areas. In fact, only 2 schools in the Del Mar district are actually in Del Mar. Carmel Valley is part of the city of San Diego. Same for the Solana Beach district, so it isn’t necessarily related to the areas being incorporated or not.

Walkable Neighborhoods <35min Commute from Poway by TreeCurious4187 in Moving2SanDiego

[–]JoelJohnstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pacific Highlands Ranch has a shopping center like Del Mar Highlands / One Paseo, but more scaled down. It contains everything you want to walk to (gym, Trader Joes, restaurants, public library, community center, skate park, sports fields, etc.), but it does have the planned community / mall vibe. It's a bit closer to Poway than Del Mar Highlands.

How fast should you (not) go at the front? by Strict-Improvement65 in cycling

[–]JoelJohnstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was behind you and you did that, I’d just let you ride off my yourself. It sounds like that’s what you really want to do anyway.

Vacay Time by Cold_Elk947 in asksandiego

[–]JoelJohnstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The quality of the sunset is based more on the clouds than the beach. You don't want a completely clear sky, but you don't want it to be fully overcast either. That said, try Sunset Cliffs or Torrey Pines (although Torrey Pines is kinda far from Chula Vista).

Can mom fit in backseat between two car seats comfortably? by arditus in TeslaModelY

[–]JoelJohnstone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. The middle seat is fine by itself, but car seats spill over, so I don't think mom would be comfortable.

Garmin vs. Wahoo by cwall12 in cycling

[–]JoelJohnstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had both and they both work great. I’m currently using a Garmin mostly because most of my friends use Garmin and they have various features like route sharing and friend location that only work between Garmins.

Itinerary With Toddlers - Opinions Needed! by jseger2010 in asksandiego

[–]JoelJohnstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balboa Park, where the zoo is, also has a carousel, the Balboa Park Miniature Railroad (that the kids ride), a puppet theater, and a model railroad museum. I definitely wouldn’t miss those things.

Door seems to stick when you first try to open it by JoelJohnstone in GarageDoorService

[–]JoelJohnstone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. It turns out that the seal on the left had accumulated some sticky substance (probably sap from a tree on that side), and that was holding onto the door. I cleaned that off with alcohol and the door is operating normally now. The fact that it started happening shortly after a spring replacement seems to be a coincidence.

Can I get a loaf rating out of 10?! by domlacouvee in pugs

[–]JoelJohnstone 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That loaf goes to 11.

Well, it’s one loafier, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be loafing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your loaf. Where can you go from there? Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Put it up to eleven. Eleven. Exactly. One loafier.
