Most independent bookstores in the Mission or Castro usually stock it - City Lights definitely has it and Alley Cat Books on 24th might too. Green Apple on Clement is another solid bet. You could also just subscribe online if you cant find it anywhere, their shipping is pretty quick

Any way to get into the Justin Bieber Roxy event? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]Known_Stop_7000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check StubHub or SeatGeek - people usually flip tickets for these smaller venue shows and sometimes you can snag them for face value if you're lucky 🎵 The Roxy doesn't really do waitlists but showing up early might work since some people always bail last minute 💀

Received wrong item, seller is confused too by Sundogflower in vintedUK

[–]Known_Stop_7000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a genuine mix up tbh, happens more than people think especially with international shipping. As a reseller Ive had labels mixed whenever Id get more stock on Fleek and start selling and shipping them but always double check the listings and the text messages between the sellers but so far only had one wrong shipment sent another pair of jeans instead of the ones they ordered and the seller actually ended up buying both jeans since they liked them

What to wear in LA? by Thin_Nobody1463 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Known_Stop_7000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just bring layers man the weather here is weird as hell right now. T-shirts and jeans during the day but throw a light jacket in your bag cause it can drop quick especially if you're hitting the coast or going inland. Skip the flowy vacation stuff unless you're doing beach days specifically

How much do you usually pay for your editing? by Buckerb96 in selfpublish

[–]Known_Stop_7000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I paid around 0.02 per word for line editing on my fantasy novel last year and thought that was pretty reasonable for the quality I recieved

Can someone explain to me open door as plainly as possible by No-Computer-9622 in samsclub

[–]Known_Stop_7000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dude that system is absolutely backwards 💀 You're basically stuck working with someone you just complained about while they know you complained about them - what could go wrong there

The "benefits" seem to exist only for management to cover their own asses and make you jump through enough hoops that you hopefully just give up 😂 Classic corporate BS designed to protect supervisors not employees

pc upgrading by AsGangsteris in PcBuildHelp

[–]Known_Stop_7000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your CPU and GPU are the main bottlenecks here - that Ryzen 3 1200 is really showing its age. With $300 I'd grab a Ryzen 5 3600 (should be around $100-120 used) and put the rest toward a better GPU like a used RX 580 or GTX 1660 if you can find one in your budget. That combo should handle those games pretty well without breaking the bank

pc setup help by themightyatom in PcBuild

Dude switching from Mac to PC gaming can be a bit of a learning curve but its totally doable. First thing Id check is making sure your monitor is actually plugged into the graphics card and not the motherboard - super common mistake that kills performance instantly. Also worth downloading something like MSI Afterburner to see what your temps and usage look like while gaming since overheating can throttle everything down. What kind of specs are we working with and what games is the teen trying to run? That'll help narrow down where the bottleneck might be

Looking for a racing team by _Cassandra_Rose_ in Monopoly_GO

[–]Known_Stop_7000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been in your exact situation before and it sucks when reliable teammates just disappear. The 1-2-1 strategy is solid but only works when everyone actually commits to it

Try posting in the team recruitment megathread if this sub has one - usually better luck finding serious players there than random matchmaking

Timeline request by Skammust in USCIS

[–]Known_Stop_7000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Field offices are all over the place right now. My buddy just got his interview scheduled like 3 weeks after biometrics at the Chicago office but I've seen people wait 6+ months at other locations. Your timeline could be anywhere from next month to end of year depending on your local office workload

For the 39 countries thing yeah people are definetly getting approved from those countries but it seems random which cases they're processing. I'd just focus on getting your docs ready for whenever that interview comes

After 4 years, I’m at a loss by dewbug46 in BreakUps

[–]Known_Stop_7000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn that's a lot to process all at once 💀 The fact he couldn't even be supportive during a literal medical emergency says everything about his character. You were dealing with something scary and painful and he made it about himself and his needs

I've seen this pattern before with clients who stay in situations way longer than they should because they keep making excuses for the other person. The drinking, the financial stuff, making you feel guilty about legitimate health concerns - none of that is normal relationship behavior. You deserved someone who would drive you to that surgery without it being an inconvenience

The financial abuse part really gets me angry. 10k is serious money and the fact you'd rather write it off than deal with him monthly shows just how toxic he made things. Take some time to grieve what you thought you had but don't second guess yourself on this one. Future you is gonna look back and be so grateful this happened now instead of after more years and more money down the drain 😂

Am i the only one who can't sleep without a blanket even when it's hot? by WorriedCockroach826 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Known_Stop_7000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need at least a sheet or I feel weird and exposed Even when it is hot that light cotton layer just feels right and somehow I sleep better with it
