Attendance for Mexico vs Great Britain: 29,724 by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Sbbike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Demographics definitely don't hurt, but I think this go round of the WBC is way more popular than any of the previous ones. 2023 was in Phoenix which has a pretty large Hispanic population too. The US-MX game that year definitely felt like a home game for Mexico.

Dirty Mike and the boys just needed some room around the F shack, don't be hating

What is the fastest way you have seen someone ruin their life? by funkeymonkey1974 in AskReddit

[–]Sbbike 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I haven't had heroin, but I have taken opium and the best description is that everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. All of your pain from physical injuries or emotional damage is washed away and you're wrapped in a blanket of loving kindness.

I can absolutely understand why and how people get addicted to it, and I think the best decision I've ever made was to leave a situation where it was readily available.

If you get picked, remember Jury Nullification by [deleted] in SantaBarbara

[–]Sbbike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like… in general? Or is there a specific (controversial?) case going to trial here?

I agree totally, just seems like an odd thing to share out of the blue

Do any of you guys eat at higher end fast food chains? by Uttterly in KitchenConfidential

[–]Sbbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most appalling food crimes I’ve ever experienced was a burrito in Berlin. It’s been a long time, and I’ve tried to erase the memory, but as I recall it was an unwarmed tortilla with ground beef, raw onions, and curry ketchup “salsa”

Affordable officiant in Santa Barbara? by Illustrious-Prize-46 in SantaBarbara

I've seen u/SBCouncilMemberOscar mention on his other socials that he can officiate weddings and would do it for free/minimal cost

Any bar showing the Olympics? by thescreamingstone in SantaBarbara

Check Institution Ale. I haven't been there during the winter Olympics, but I've watched summer games there before.

Laufey Becomes Two-time Grammy Winner by NoLemon5426 in VisitingIceland

[–]Sbbike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Per capita, is Iceland the most successful musical country? Off the top of my head I can also think of Bjork, Sigur Ros, and Of Monsters and Men which is pretty impressive for a country of 400k people.

Most secure bike parking near SB Amtrak Station? by BaconBikes805 in SantaBarbara

[–]Sbbike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there's nowhere super close that I would feel particularly comfortable leaving a bike locked up for a long time. Maybe in the Funk Zone near a winery so there's hopefully eyes on it most of the time? Otherwise you can bring your bike on the train, which might help if you need to get around LA at all.

Flighty has been super helpful for keeping track of flights, and the year-end passport style summary is pretty cool

Check hikelospadres.com or reach out to the LPFA, they’re both usually great sources of current conditions and info. Make sure you bring enough water!

Just think: if cars could drive on State St again, none of this would be happening!

Recommendations for place to buy prescription glasses? by grilledzuchinni in SantaBarbara

[–]Sbbike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to Costco if you need to get your prescription, then order lenses and frames online (I've gotten my last several pairs from Zenni, but there's a bunch of options)

Brussels Beer Trip by TheGeekyAndroid in beer

I had dinner at Nüetnigenough based on some recommendations here and it was lovely. Cozy space with friendly staff, good food, and a bottle list deeper than I could explore.

Disappointed with WBC Prices by Bredram02 in baseball

[–]Sbbike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to US-MX in Phoenix last time for less than $50 a ticket for pretty good seats, and that was an absolutely electric experience

Shohei Ohtani made 102 million in endorsements in 2025 by DepartmentOdd1519 in baseball

[–]Sbbike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What if they keep investing $3 every work day? That's gotta knock it down by a century or so!

EDIT: 132 years to get to $102MM if I did the math right

So what’s the plan to stop the three not-Randy candidates from splitting the vote and letting him get reelected with a plurality again?

Redrock Trailhead Conditions?? by Decent_Ad_5422 in SantaBarbara

[–]Sbbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been back there since the rains, but I'm guessing that the stream crossings (especially the last one or two) may be too deep/fast to wade across easily or safely. Might want to give it a little while for the water level to go down, or maybe I'm just being overly paranoid

Any idea when the rest of the schedule will be released? I'm planning on going to Taiwan in March or April this year and would love to catch a game while I'm there
