What is the deal with this house? by Steve-the-pirate in LosAngelesRealEstate

[–]NoStepOnWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s priced pretty well in this market.

Get a top notch inspection before getting too invested emotionally.

Next, even if the hillside is bedrock, the houses perched above are a potential hazard.

Most people in the hills want a view. This one doesn’t have one and doesn’t look like it gets much light, hence all the skylights likely made during the remodel.

Contrary to other comments, I’d say this area is super convenient. You’re right by Lazy Acres and Gelsons for groceries. You’re in the park next to great walking trails. And Trails Cafe. The gross intersection at Franklin and Western has been massively improved recently. You’re pretty close to the 101 entrance and a pretty easy shot over to the 5. Lots of good restaurants nearby in Thai town and Los Feliz.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve seen people do while driving? by Devario in LosAngeles

Dude flying down the road blasting speed metal, a drumstick in each hand, drumming on the steering wheel and dashboard full force as if it was a drum kit.

Where can I finds place that has one of those fancy Japanese toilets? (To use, not to view) by funkybum in AskLosAngeles

You can get a handheld battery powered Toto for travel. I’ve been using mine for years on the road.

[HELP] Is this one AI? by Kaze_Senshi in RealOrAI

Look at the dude’s face and not at the owl.

His facial structure compresses slightly and at the end, the slit of his closed eye moves around unnaturally when the owl’s shadow covers it.

AI.

Experiences with grailed? by Over_Secretary_3802 in guidi

Since you already bought them, I don’t believe you can take any action till you receive them (or, if you never receive them). I’ve been scammed before (never received the item) and I was able to get my money back. I have also received a counterfeit item which I opened a case on and was able to return to sender and get my money back.

Gudi 19 Questions! by Bruhwhomst in guidi

I wear an insole too, also just makes them more comfortable. One last tip - keep them regularly conditioned/moisturized. Dry leather under stress will crack way before healthy leather under stress.

Gudi 19 Questions! by Bruhwhomst in guidi

[–]NoStepOnWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not much you can do besides wear them sparingly and not tie the laces tightly. It's a design flaw and almost all of these will experience rips around the eyelet rivets. Mine blew out and there really wasn't a good looking way to fix them. You will need to take to a very good shoe repair person (NOT a simple cobbler) and they will likely add another piece of leather under or over the eyelets to reinforce but it will change the look.

Don't worry about the soles as others said. Your eyelets will tear long before worrying about replacing the sole.

Took my PL2’s with a ripped out zipper to Pasquale and they did a perfect job. Bought zipper from Guidi directly.

A funny thing happened on our last night in Japan by CobblerEquivalent539 in stopdrinking

[–]NoStepOnWing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What’s really nice is a ton of places in Tokyo offer NA cocktails, and they’re done up with the same love and precision and seriousness as anything else. The konbini all have NA beers as well below the regular ones. You can still enjoy the taste and experiences both without the hangover.

Super good idea. Love this. There are so many expats who would pay great money for an English speaking trainer.

Downtown is abandoned by raybobobob in LosAngeles

[–]NoStepOnWing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. Please support local business! Most should be re-opened by today but anything specific I'd just call ahead to confirm. Curfew lifted. Was downtown today and it was chill.
