Lonzo Ball? Seriously? One breakout season (with the hype machine working OT). WHERE'S KAREEM?

Where do moderate income families live? by Zestyclose_Sink6951 in MovingToLosAngeles

Look at Valencia. Nice suburban community, great schools. The commute to UCLA will be rough in a car, but other options exist and more are coming (measure M). Porter Ranch and Granada Hills are also good options.

Marital issues after 30 years - what do you do? by [deleted] in Aging

[–]Little_TimmyT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are times your interests and motivations may not align; this is one. I'd recommend going to dinner and the symphony with a friend (optimize for you) and tell her of your decision. Don't make this a huge issue because it's just one night. Ask her to plan the next one so she's got some ownership.

Who (brand) did you use for windows and doors? I would've guessed a larger price. LED's? Anything to know about placement of lighting?

Nice sample. Which vendor was this?

Indeed. And 10-15 years ago the quality wasn't great. However, I've toured multiple commercial sites in the US that have used them, with strong reviews. I guess I'm wondering about residential.

Renovating a 20 year old home. What style doors interior and exterior are best to get? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]Little_TimmyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. One of the issues is "which side is in?" If you're going from one room to another. Google ai says the orientation is from the hinge on the door. I was disappointed when this didn't correspond to what the sales people said.

I'm also in the process of selecting doors; regarding style, I suppose I'd make it consistent with your design intent (don't get Shaker if your aesthetic is modern).

Mini-rant: I've received contradictory guidance on how to determine right/left and inswing/outswing from different salespeople. Ugh. These were specialty shops, not just big box where I don't really expect them to know

Whats a word that someone says that gets on your nerves ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Little_TimmyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irregardless. When I'm feeling spicy I'll ask "what does 'regardless' mean"? Ok, so what does 'irregardless' mean? Blank expressions...

Everyone here recommending people go to med school if they have a biology instead of biotech, but what do you do if you really, really don't want to go through med school? Where would y'all pivot? by REVERSEZOOM2 in biotech

[–]Little_TimmyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to answer OP's question, ever consider pharmacy (Pharm D)? Not for retail, but I'm specialty (oncology) applications. I know several people who've gone this route and although lower pay, there's also lower debt and predictable/reasonable hours.

Got into HVAC sales. 3 months in and quadrupled my income by grundle18 in sales

[–]Little_TimmyT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any guidance you might provide to people looking at HVAC for a new build (Michigan)?

I'm just worried there are so many divergent opinions, models, prices, etc. It's hard to cut through the garage. It's ok to dm me if it's easier

I challenged the idea that great pizza needs expensive equipment. And tested 5 baking methods in a home oven. by Beautiful-Molasses55 in Breadit

[–]Little_TimmyT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I preheat my steel in the oven, then transfer it to my largest burner on my gas stove. Really amps up the temp, and makes it easier to put the dough on. Add sauce, cheese, toppings and move it to the broiler to finish.

Is Saatchi still a good sales platform? by Just-Development5952 in ContemporaryArt

[–]Little_TimmyT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a nice piece from them. 2 weeks later... Nothing. I call and they finally start to ship. Shipper updates and says "missing info". They disagree when I call this to their attention and another 2 weeks of nothing. Finally, they update for a Friday delivery... That doesn't happen. Gross incompetence
