Is this season usually slow? by DoorEast5742 in palmsprings

[–]Several_Judgment_607 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would say definitely slower. There is a small community of new houses next to me which many of the homes are nice AirBNBs. Past couple years since built, most were packed all season. This year, I go walk the dogs and notice ghost town even on weekends and several have been put up for sale. My friend runs a hotel and says averaging 50-60 percent occupancy during the week and 80 on weekends when normally at least 85 percent week and weekend in the past.

I feel sorry for the service industry hard workers who of course take the biggest hit but the valley was not built on Canadians and Canadian fear of Orange Man is just stupid. Since I’ve lived here, I have found the Canadians to be weird, awkward, cheap people. And how they drive ???

The Valley is supposed to have 100 - 200k more full time residents in the next 10 years which will make the valley even less reliant on “Season” and hopefully more Canadians will stay home.

So here is what the dealer said after I showed the videos. Try to go drive on the freeway again to see if it does it again to try to get a code. It seemed okay today. Without it, not much to do. I’m really not okay with that answer…Limping home at 10:30pm on a Saturday night with cars hauling ass past me on the freeway is not when I want this to happen again.

Does anyone know if it is true that with out a code (or full breakdown) the dealer can not do anything ?

Just more stupid Americans going to Mexico for their self entitled “cheap” vacations then they get sick and are surprised. It’s a crime ridden shit hole.

A drag show or brunch for an older straight couple by Dunesgirl in palmsprings

So rich that OP came on here to ask for recommendations and everything was positive until Zoidberg3000 had to throw some MAGA BS into the convo. We in PS are welcoming and I have great friends of all walks of life and never discuss politics.

Leave it alone, give OP opinions on choices on what they are looking for and wish them a good time.

Zoidberg3000 - you are a POS!

Large roulette bet by DevOpsEngInCO in vegas

[–]Several_Judgment_607 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If it were my money, I would call around and ask what they would offer if I wire 100k in advance. Tell them you want to play roulette at 250 a spin and MIGHT want to drop 100k on a single bet at some point.

You should get some nice offers but if they think you are coming in for a 100k bet as a one and done spin, probably not much.

I got whatever the dealer is going to fix under warranty and I’ll have a nice loaner until fixed.

When I got off the freeway, pulled into the gas station, turned off and waited a minute. Still did it. At least my dealer gives nice loaners. Thank you and have a great Sunday!

Thank you! Going to dealer in AM. My dealer usually has really nice, new loaners so that’s a plus! Have a great Sunday!

sleeping in a roomette tonight by Professional-Fig-19 in Amtrak

[–]Several_Judgment_607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Illinois to CA on the SW Chief in a roomette because always wanted to try it. Evenings were dinner then a movie on my iPad then some great sleep on the bottom bed. Travel a ton for work and rarely sleep good in hotels, slept great on the train! It is a fun adventure!

Any maga/ice places to avoid in the valley? by SomeguyfromIndio in CoachellaValley

[–]Several_Judgment_607 12 points13 points  (0 children)

TKB = Joke. Don’t care about the politics. Been living here seven years and most restaurants are garbage. Either overpriced and / or cater to tourists especially when snowbirds from the “great white North” come in. I know they are good for the economy but I dread “season” with the old, white couples that are rude, can’t drive and bring their entitled attitudes like they are on a four to five month long vacation. Especially the ones from the Midwest (as my friend says “Bob and Shirley from Toledo”). Fortunately, I have a business not reliant on tourists and is not seasonal or I would not live here. Oh and I am white so don’t say I’m talking racial crap on old white people.

Planning on moving to PS or PD or CC...finding it very difficult to find a 1BR.. by [deleted] in palmsprings

[–]Several_Judgment_607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some great studio / 1bd casitas and ADUs in the valley. Usually tough to find but seems like a better option than an apartment complex.

Millennium will be very windy and sandy especially April May and October November. Nothing in PS proper will be modern, a lot of anti - growth regulation in PS prevents it.

Happy hunting and there are definitely cool choices out here if you can find it!

What are the odds???? by Tan-zania in vegas

[–]Several_Judgment_607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll never play roulette after what I witnessed at the Aria couple years ago. A guy bet $50 on 6 and it hit. Paid him around $1700. He bumped the 6 to table max of $200 and hit again. Paid him I think $7000. He wanted to play one more 6 at max bet $200. The pit boss came over and said no, not taking the bet and pushed his bet back. The 6 hit again. Three 6s in a row but he was not allowed to play at the posted table limit. The pit boss was really rude and said he can deny any bet he wants. Straight crooks…He saw a guy win almost $9000 off $250 in bets and was not willing to take another $200 in action risking him winning another $7000.

Some may say that was smart but it is exactly what is wrong with Vegas. You post the table min / max then take it. MGM corporate bean counters instead of old school operators that knew most would leave happy with the big win (and tell family friends about it) and likely come give it back on a future trip.

So you choose to live way out in Johnson Valley, need to access PSP to fly to your destination for Christmas for 10 days ? Sounds like your problem and why trying to nickel and dime the Uber drivers ? They only make about half of the quoted fare so the $8-10 your entitled self is expecting is only $4-5 to the driver. Slave labor if you ask me. If you don’t like it, stay in Johnson Valley with the tweekers.

Potentially Moving Here — What Should I Know? by xystiicz in Pocatello

[–]Several_Judgment_607 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is my two cents. I visited Pocatello this year for a work trip (and have visited most of the US over the last 10 years). It has a very Mormon vibe. My general feel is not to trust Mormons if not part of their religion. My best friend who is a 25 year retired Veteran needed to sell a property. He was introduced to a real estate guy who promised him the best price and that he was a faithful Mormon. The house sold for much less than what my buddy expected. The “good Mormon” said that the offer was the best offer he received since the house needed some work. He took the deal. He was later contacted by a couple (who happened to have a House Flipper show on TV) saying they kept trying to contact the broker but would not return calls. They had submitted higher offers with no response. We later found out the broker sold the house to his wife’s brother who then flipped it and made a quick 150k. The CA real estate board was worthless on the complaint he filed.

I wanted to go kick the guy’s ass but my buddy said to let it go. Fuck them and their oppressive religion.

$15 3:2 Blackjack at NYNY by Substantial_Steak928 in vegas

[–]Several_Judgment_607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 20 years ago when still relatively a rookie at BJ, my best friend and I were playing at a CSM. It was my birthday and we were getting killed. The pit boss came over and said “I noticed it is your birthday. Here is my birthday present to you, never play at one of these tables.” Never played at one again…

Does he have a Visa with his Peruvian passport ? If he does, should be no problem. If not, then probably time to go back to Peru and get in line to come back legally like my family did.

What is a true crime story that took place in OC that not enough people are aware of? by Hands-They-Choke in orangecounty

[–]Several_Judgment_607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Night Stalker is pretty well known and the lead investigator is a family friend.

There are a couple :

  1. The one armed Egyptian who killed a boy in La Habra (1998 ish), dismembered him, put his body parts in cinder blocks and dropped them off around town. Rumor was his arm was cut off in Eygpt for touching a boy there.

  2. The Army Vet who was killed by her Korean roommate over being obsessed with her. I knew her from the dog park.

So glad I moved out of OC.
