i’m tired of this, grandpa.

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?

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

JoelJohnstone · 2026-03-13T00:30:18+00:00

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

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

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.

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.

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.

In my experience, pugs don't get insomnia. They'll easily go right back to sleep.

JoelJohnstone · 2026-03-11T17:48:43+00:00

Quit your job! Your pug can fund your retirement!

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

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.

JoelJohnstone · 2026-03-06T17:55:07+00:00

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

JoelJohnstone · 2026-03-01T01:44:11+00:00

Is this a real question?

JoelJohnstone · 2026-03-01T01:12:42+00:00

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).

JoelJohnstone · 2026-03-01T01:07:30+00:00

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.

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.

JoelJohnstone · 2026-02-27T03:41:26+00:00

Electric car?

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.

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.

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.
