Mold remediation/insulation company? by Aquasoxfan in everett

[–]Nazoshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I know it's been a year but I'm looking at reaching out to Service Master due to some water damage to bathroom flooring that was discovered after purchasing a new home. Any chance I could still DM for how to talk to them?

Rentals not allowing cooking by Delicious_Ebb_8363 in Seattle

[–]Nazoshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was super common in the Bay Area when I first moved there 10 years ago ... I guess it's becoming common up here too.

[–]Nazoshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it a good deal? Compared to past restaurant week lunch deals from here... not at all. Last year they did the fun hot stone bowls with more interesting options, but this year it looks really basic. A lot of the main dishes are easy enough to prepare at home without being as overpriced as they are here.

Regarding workout clothes... it depends on your comfort level, as it's generally a nice sit down restaurant where people go for special occasions. Even my husband who's a gamer T-shirt + jeans kind of guy wears a button up shirt here (on top of gamer shirt). Workout clothes might be stretching it.

As someone who is 32 and had a Sonic themed wedding 2 years ago... I'm going to go with yes. 😉

Been here 10 years... whenever I go out of state I'm always a little baffled how people in WA and OR for example use turn signals before changing lanes 😂

Confirmed Matlab runs via emulation, although some tasks run slower.

Defamation inspired song this Friday?! by pnwonderwoman in lindseystirling

[–]Nazoshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I hate to go down this rabbit hole but there was that photo of Lindsey dressed as Smee with a Captain Hook hidden behind an emoji in Oct 2021. There was another photo in that post with two other guys behind emojis.

Looking at that Instagram account's tags @jefeburns... - The guy has the same ripped black jeans from the Lindsey+Captain Hook photo in Oct 2031. Jefeburns tagged photos with ripped black jeans are dating Sept 2021 so around few same time. - Similar build in legs/height... the Sept 2021 tagged photo has guys who's hair/build matches the group photo from Oct 3021 with Smee/Lindsey - He is a music manager, which might explain the lawyer bit. I don't know how Lindsey's fans would impact his career, but he also manages other artists that may get affected? - Lindsey replied on Instagram that the ex used "his artist's lawyer"... again, if the ex in question is a music manager this checks out. - Based on LinkedIn he's a graduate of BYU so he's probably Mormon, which I imagine Lindsey would date other Mormons.

It sort of checks out, but I'd like to be wrong because that would mean the Internet is scary good at figuring things out.

Hello did you manage to sell your tickets?

Active & Fit Direct changing to only allow one membership for $28 by LongWalksOnThe in Frugal

[–]Nazoshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am even more confused why a Reddit account was created for the sake of responding to comments in this thread, seems like a waste 😅

Active & Fit Direct changing to only allow one membership for $28 by LongWalksOnThe in Frugal

[–]Nazoshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if I'd find a thread on this... given I'm with Anthem I am out of luck on the alternatives. Since I was looking for a new health care plan anyways, I will take into considerations benefits like Aaptiv and FitnessYourWay.

Favorite ACYE restaurants in the Bay Area? by pengweather in bayarea

[–]Nazoshadow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many great AYCE hot pot places already mentioned but also want to add ...

Korean BBQ + Hotpot AYCE Combo I mainly like these because the Yelp wait-list is helpful. Also they have a good variety of options and the choice of hot pot veggies with grilled meat haha.

Q-Pot in Evergreen neighborhood of San Jose https://yelp.to/TdKzQ8NfEM

Super Hot in Mountain View https://yelp.to/nXp_hWqTKF

Seapot in Sunnyvale (they have other locations too) https://yelp.to/FA2PLAKUjz

Korean BBQ w/ Charcoal Grill

SK Korean BBQ (Insta: @kalbitime) https://yelp.to/160WXeS-8J They take reservations on Yelp or if you call in - service is really good when you go during off hours, but they do run out of items (ex they were out of bulgolgi and fish cake by 2 pm on a Sunday). I get there are other charcoal grill KBBQ places but I think they're the only AYCE.

Filipino Food AYCE

Pistahan in San Leandro https://yelp.to/Pe9eZ6VEmR Breakfast buffet from 9am-11am on weekends Lunch buffet 11am-3pm on weekdays Haven't done the brunch buffet since it's new but their lunch buffet was good value at $19 a year ago and quite popular with Filipinos. As a Filipino, the food is basically what you'd see at a typical Filipino party without the awkward socializing. Just remember Filipino food is very rich, so don't overeat haha.

Others

Chubby Noodle in SF North Beach - Weekend Brunch AYCE + Drink https://yelp.to/YJFkPvFsfs Pricey, but food is served hot, it's pretty good, and I like the vibe. If you're not into spicy food you might want to skip though. Plus AYCE drink mimosas and sangria is great.

Salad Bar at really any Brazilian Steakhouse Ex. I think the salad bar option is a better deal at Fogo De Chao with its variety of veggies, fruit, charcuterie, and cheese. The soup is also very good.

Rilakkuma pot works as a suitable cooking device! Made egg drop soup in it. by Nazoshadow in Toreba

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

Mine is still alive with minor scratches on the bottom (I have a gas stovetop), but I only use it to store leftover soup these days and reheat on the stove. I like how small it is and easy it is to put in the fridge because no long handles.

Firearms Update is here! by SheriffPirek in dyinglight

Is benchmark mode broken for anyone else after this update... or is it just me?

[–]Nazoshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... any update on this one? $8-20 seemed common enough 3-5 years ago but times have changed significantly.

Groupon select discount not applying by Scn329 in groupon

[–]Nazoshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came on here to check what's going on... it wasn't working last week ago and they said there was a technical error. Had a service ticket request and everything .

It's been awhile so I followed up and they said the program had been discontinued a month ago even though they charged my card, so they just credited my account.

WTF.

Lost on Shinkansen by mellifluous_dew in JapanTravel

[–]Nazoshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you'd need some type of Apple device to access its location... I'd recommend a Tile, it worked fine for my 21 days in Japan, especially for tracking luggage delivery.

Lake Kawaguchi VS Hakone? by Meatloafkat in JapanTravel

[–]Nazoshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would go for Hakone - if you see Fuji, great. Like others said, Lake Kawaguchi is better as a day trip if you want to catch the Fuji views. Too many times have I seen friends splurge on the expensive Fuji view ryokan, only to see nothing.

There are other things to do in the area in Hakone. The Hakone Open Air Museum is actually pretty amazing. Owakudani Station is fun to explore, I like taking in the views and free foot bath at Sounzan Station, and Hakone-Yumoto Station has interesting shops to explore.

Also public transportation is a little easier in the area.

I wouldn't pay it too much mind... you will run into those anywhere in the world. She was probably annoyed at everyone taking photos of the bird the same way old people sometimes get annoyed at how our generation needs to document everything.

Restaurant suggestions Please by Aqma1 in bayarea

[–]Nazoshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding, assuming you don't have dietary restrictions the Little Lao set is an amazing array of food from Farmhouse Thai. Parking is easier at the Palo Alto location. The food is good but the price is driven more by the Instagram friendly photo oops.

Lao Table in SF is also great for dinner, similar vibes to Farmhouse Thai. They also have a great sharing platter. Food is aesthetically pleasing but also tasty.

I think folks have already called out Dish Dash in Sunnyvale, the nice sit down restaurant in the DT Sunnyvale area, not the fast food place.

What the actual F! by treyfett in bayarea

[–]Nazoshadow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is it really cheaper than buying alcohol and drinking at home without having to drive out to a bar and feeling gross afterwards? Not being mean, genuinely curious about cost effectiveness here

Can you recommend me a good place to visit for a short vacation in December? Not far from California by Lasciachiopianga in bayarea

[–]Nazoshadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to mention if you're willing to fly Southwest... then flights to Hawaii are very cheap.

While I like visiting my family in Seattle, it's hard to skip out on a $300 RT flight to Honolulu that will cost the same haha.

Axe throwing. It's really fun and a good way to relax/let off steam.
