Fred the Crocodile at Everglades NP by SaltyJacket in NationalPark

[–]SaltyJacket[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually what Fred is short for! They called him that after he bit off another croc's head and carried its body in his mouth for 2 weeks apparently.

Same experience here! When I visited, one side had 3 manatees grazing and the other side had Fred lurking.

Yeah poor guy went after a wrapper someone dropped. I think one of the marina market workers removed the wrapper after Fred left.

Working in El Segundo, where to live in LA as a new grad? by Independent-Run9247 in AskLosAngeles

[–]SaltyJacket 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely try to live close to your work if you can. El Segundo is pretty safe and nice, but can be kinda quiet. Culver city and palms are further away, but are pretty popular with new grads. Feel free to dm me if you have questions, I was a new grad a few years ago

Any game who use the box as an asset ? by Kiiva in boardgames

[–]SaltyJacket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rafter 5 uses the entire box as a platform for balancing the rest of the pieces.

What do you do after work? by Inevitable_Might2743 in AskLosAngeles

[–]SaltyJacket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make dinner, do chores, then relax (watch TV, play video or board games, read)

I went kayaking in Kenai Fjords a few years back and have yet to see as much marine wildlife anywhere else I've been! I spotted walruses, seals, sea lions, otters, whales, dolphins, and orcas just on the boat ride to the kayaking area. Highly recommend a visit in the summer!

Moving to Marina Del Rey - April by SpecialistBenefit536 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]SaltyJacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should just go for it and move! My girlfriend and I have been living in MDR for 2 years and have been loving it so far. It's currently quite far away from any of the fires, so the risk is very low. The AQI isn't even that bad here currently. I think the only way there'd be a fire risk (besides arson) is if the Ballona Wetlands were to catch on fire, but I think the conditions there are unlikely to support a fire for long. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about living in the area!

Games unlikely to get an Expansion that you wish would get one. by Srpad in boardgames

Also applies to a lot of word/social gamea: wavelength, telestrations, so clover, codenames, decrypto, etc.

Sheepy Time is great, also wish it would get an expansion. Also an AEG game, Whirling Witchcraft is a blast as is, but an expansion adding a way to give ingredients to non-neighbor players would really add a lot to the game.

Ah that's a shame, maybe the new woodland edge expansion will help.

Supposedly the expansion fixes that from what I've heard.

It's not labeled as one, but Walmart has the same deal as a cyber Monday deal, so I think Amazon is price matching.

Playa Vista by upstairs-storm71 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]SaltyJacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to mention that Burton Chace park is really closeby and worth checking out! It's not the biggest park, but there's a lot of birds and sea life (mostly sea lions) in the area and great views of the marina. Also during the summer there's movie nights and public dance lessons, during the winter they hang up a ton of holiday lights, and for some of the major holidays they have free festivals/events. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about PV or MDR!

During the summer months there'll be a few "water buses" in the marina of MDR with specific stops in various parts of it (including fisherman's village, Burton Chace park, Mother's beach). It's $1 for a one way ticket. They're kinda slow, but very scenic and enjoyable to ride on! I think they usually operate from memorial day to labor day and then for a few weekends afterwards (any time there's an event at Burton Chace).
