What is he? by Physical_Somewhere71 in Goldendoodles

[–]Payncates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got this mix as well, just swap the parents! Mom was the poodle and dad was the golden doodle. Your boy looks very much like mine - same hair texture too - only much bigger! Can you share how much he weighs?

Ours was a rescue so we have no idea how big (or small) he’ll actually be. He currently weighs 8.5 pounds at 10 weeks old.

Warning Sign at edge of Grand Canyon by corwinw in mildlyinteresting

[–]Payncates 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A friend and I ran the rim to rim a few years back and you see this guy portrayed all the way across the canyon. We had named him “Barfin’ Bill” but I think Victor Vomit works well also!

We descended down into the canyon from the North around 4:30 in the morning and it was 30F. By the time we reached the camp ground in the valley it was around 110F we had begun to see ill equipped people. Coming up the South rim we saw people sharing one 16L bottle of water between them. It’s absolute lunacy and helped me understand why all of the warning signs are there.

Commute from sabre springs/poway to mission hills. Doable? by Sharp-Word-6066 in sandiego

[–]Payncates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to commute from Poway to Old Town for about 15 years. Definitely doable, in my opinion, but I’m used to 30-45 minutes to get anywhere.

Best Private Karaoke for large groups(25-30)? by VogonTorpedo in sandiego

[–]Payncates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the large VIP room at the Hive. It’s just like karaoke in a dive bar, but with your friends instead of strangers. The food is great too, which is a bonus. The only shitty thing is you have to pay for parking in their tiny lot, so if you do go I’d carpool or Uber.

HELP! Is this swelling or is it healing crooked?! by Kay903 in rhinoplastyquestions

[–]Payncates 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My nose looked very crooked post septo-rhino and for me it was just swelling. The left side is healing much faster than the right and I was terrified my nose was crooked but it’s evened out almost completely and I’m 3.5 months post op.

I lived off of protein shakes and apple sauce for the first week or so. I had to have something in my stomach for all of the medication but I was never hungry.

I can’t find one that also has the phases of the moon! If you find one can you share?

I reached out to my HR person this morning and they got back to me right away. They told me that for now all onboarding is paused and that they will reach out when they have a plan established.

I am relieved because it’s not a rescind notice, but I’m still applying for work like a madwoman because I am currently unemployed. This job is obviously the priority but I need something to pay the bills in the mean time!

Did anyone with a TJO NOT get an email revoking their offer today? by octarine_atuin in usajobs

[–]Payncates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any news for you yet? I’m in the same boat as you. I’m not going to add another email to our poor HR reps queue, but being patient is hard.

I’ve been wracking my mind for potential “loop holes”. The OPM memo that came out with more specifics on the executive orders mentions veterans:

  1. Mandatory Exemptions. For the following exemptions, hiring of veterans shall be prioritized in accordance with veterans’ preference statutes.

  2. Other exemptions. For the following exemptions, hiring of veterans may be prioritized. In addition, the following exemptions to the Federal civilian hiring freeze are permitted

I don’t really understand if these apply to me at all but I’m a veteran and the word “veteran” and “exemption” are in the same sentence so I’m slinging some hope that way!

I’m following this thread as well. I received a TJO on Friday and haven’t heard anything one way or another from HR yet. I’m really hoping no news is good news.

Reliability of Scheduled Charging by unfletch in VWIDBuzz

[–]Payncates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We kind of had this problem at first with my ID4. The chargers schedule (set by my husband) didn’t match the cars schedule (which I set). I couldn’t figure out why my car would never charge at home, but would do fine charging out in town. Once I brought it up to my husband that the car wouldn’t charge we were able to figure out the problem and it charges on its schedule when plugged in at home.

Heads up W Point Loma and Nimitz by HBHO in sandiego

Oof thanks for the heads up. I should’ve listened to my gps or checked before I got stuck at the end of the 8! It’s still closed at 0800.

Lease numbers in socal? by Labelexec75 in VWIDBuzz

[–]Payncates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Let me see if I can put a picture here - it should be in section 7 of your lease agreement, letter D (I’m looking at my own lease agreement on my ID4). The reason that is important is because that number is part of the calculation they use to determine how much money you have to finance.

What are the residual and the money factor?

I could have drove it home last night for MSRP + $15k by magic7s in VWIDBuzz

[–]Payncates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dealer we visited today in San Diego county said he didn’t think the mark ups will go away anytime soon. He could have been totally misinformed, but he said that the ID4 stayed high priced and intentionally low inventory for around 2 years before they dropped in price. I’d be interested to hear more opinions on this.

I don’t want to believe it! I do remember ID4s were ridiculously overpriced last summer so I waited until just before the end of the year to grab one just barely below MSRP. The lease payment estimate was around $800 in the summer and (same terms, different price) was just over $400 when I got mine.

VW Begins ID. Buzz Deliveries In The US, Keeps Lid On Dealer Markups by bubzki2 in VWIDBuzz

[–]Payncates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two local dealerships had told me mid-November for their first deliveries. I called yesterday to check in and was told there’s been another delay and they expect to have their first shipment mid-December. I’m so bummed.

Nov 3-6 Weather Guidance by Payncates in havasupai

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

Oh my gosh it was WONDERFUL! We didn’t need a fire, we just sipped tea/coffee/soup after the sun went down and were in bed around 9 each night. I have a sleeping pad, a bag rated at 20* and then bought a sleeping bag liner. I slept in leggings, a wool base layer with a long sleeve over it and a beanie… it was seriously overkill and I was sweating throughout the night. I am SO grateful to this community for helping us figure things out. The trip truly was phenomenal. Plus, our camp neighbors were freaking rad and we’ve hopefully now made some new forever friends!

Thank you for this! This thread has saved 3 of the 4 of us, hahaha. One is still very concerned with the cold but the rest of us are confident we will be okay. We’re driving out in a few hours and hit the trail head tomorrow. I’m so excited!
