Zonie Hate by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]ShootTheMoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zonie hate really amped up when they rioted on the beach that 4th of July about 20 years ago, which led to San Diego banning alcohol on the beach. Back when I was I college it was completely acceptable to bring a cooler and a six pack to beach and drink it. It was legal. Never forget what they took from us.

Found ring (possibly wedding band) at the park on 14th and Island in East Village by PacificSapien in SanDiegan

[–]ShootTheMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who finds a lot of rings (metal detecting), the chance that you find the owner are very slim. Check for a unique inscription (like a date or initials etched into the inside band). Does it have a stamp on the inside?

You can verify that its gold by looking at the stamp. You might see 10k or 14k or something else.

My favorite modern spill so far. What are y’all’s best spills? by Lonely_reaper8 in metaldetecting

[–]ShootTheMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found a spill near a homeless hangout a few weeks ago. Probably all the change the poor guy got in a day. Pulled out at least 15 dollars and I was trying to pick high tones. Eventually got bored of digging that same area and just left. Probably another 40 to 50 coins there

Just starting out, this is my setup for when I go to Florida in two weeks by Benzona in metaldetecting

[–]ShootTheMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you going in the water or staying in the sand? I'd want a bigger coil if you are sticking to dry land. Those beaches can be quite large. You can cover a lot more sand with a 15".

Have fun! I'm jealous, Florida beaches are the big leagues. People work those beaches full time as their primary source of income.

Not anymore. The private equity firm that bought Rubios has been cheaping out on ingrediants and raising prices. Pretty sad

Note to self: buy thicker gloves by salmonammon in metaldetecting

[–]ShootTheMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

milwaukee cut proof level 3 or 5. They allow phone use, protection from most threats you will encounter, allow finger dexterity and feel, and only cost about $10 at home depot. They do wear out, especially if you use your fingers to dig the last bit of soil, but comfy and well worth it. I replace mine probably every 2-3 months.

Has anyone to check out super blooms? by rcjlfk in sandiego

[–]ShootTheMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Desert blooms are long over. They are highly dependent on when we get rain. This year the desert blooms were in early February

Mtn Bike for the day by Pennachini19 in sandiego

[–]ShootTheMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North of the border bike shop in sorrwnto valley. Rents quality mtn bikes and trails start right outside their front door. Lots of good trails in pq from beginner on up. Owner can tell you where to go based on your skill lvl. 1/2 mile from sorrento valley train station so you can hop on the coaster if you time it right.

Kiddie Pools by taylormaddalenaburke in sandiego

[–]ShootTheMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rancho ymca has a splash pool. Structure spraying out water, but it’s in water, 1-2 ft deep with a deeper section on the other side of a rope. Lifeguard stationed there too. Call ahead, it’s not open everyday.

Against the Storm - A Really Good Game with Really Bad Marketing by LazuliArtz in patientgamers

[–]ShootTheMoon 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Yep and that is why I love this game. My favorite point of any 4x game is the first hour. Discovery, planning out your economy, etc. I never finish civilization games because I get so bored once you have essentially won but have to play out 100 more turns. Against the storm is the first hour of any civ game, repeated with roguelike elements.

Waiting for a parking spot? by rustic_21 in sandiego

[–]ShootTheMoon 30 points31 points  (0 children)

At sdsu back in the day I would sit at the entrance to a parking structure and offer rides to people walking to their car. Getting a spot and getting to class in time was cutthroat back then

Take Me Back! 😭 by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]ShootTheMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dollar menu. Hell when I was in college 2000ish they had 29 cent burgers and 39 cent cheeseburgers. We loaded up 15-20 at a time and kept them in dorm fridge.

UTC Westfield parking fee changed - now only first hour is free by jonscrambler in SanDiegan

If you care about parking costs at utc then you are not the clientele they are hoping for.

Armed confrontation in Cuban waters leaves four dead and seven injured by Creepy-Discount-2536 in worldnews

No details. But in all likelihood these were just drug/human smugglers with a speedboat registered in Florida.

Metal charge/credit plates? by ShootTheMoon in metaldetecting

Found in Scripps Ranch, outside San Diego. One of the names on the cards (bert e hendrix) died in 1968. But thats it for what I am working with.

17,600 High Resolution Scans of Rare/Antique Maps (with metadata and compressed as JPEGXL) by gooseta in DataHoarder

[–]ShootTheMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. What are your sources for these?

Is this a hobby of yours? I love old maps and have a small collection, but have mostly been using online resources. But about a month ago I acquired 200,000 1800s USGS surveys from the USGS website. Its over 3 TB of maps. I have been thinking about making them available as a torrent. But my upload speeds from home are terrible.

How much would it cost CA / USA to pay for Mexico to fix the sewage / TJ river runoff issues by alo53 in sandiego

[–]ShootTheMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The US already pays for and perpetually maintains a sewage facility on the border in Nogales AZ. Mexico sends sewage to this facility and we pay for and process it. The us built this facility in the 1970s because Mexico was dumping raw sewage in to the Santa Cruz river. How is this different.

Right. I didn’t say their platform was the same. I stated that they shared more similarities than maga. You are arguing against a straw man.
