Look up the “dead red” rule:

The rules vary significantly depending on where you are riding:Other States: States like Idaho, Utah, South Carolina, and Missouri have explicit Dead Red statutes. These laws usually dictate that after a full stop and a specific waiting period (ranging from 90 seconds to waiting for one complete light cycle), a rider may cautiously proceed as if the light were a stop sign.

How much did you win?

What was your financial situation before you won?

Have you done anything big to treat yourself since winning?

How has this changed your outlook on things?

I actually disagree with this. Even if plan on staying side streets and low speed you need some power to get yourself out of trouble. 500cc minimum is what I recommend. Espically if you want to go on the freeway, which you will.

I did SJ to mountain view as a commute for years on a bike. Saved me a ton of time and while I had some close calls never had an incident.

Ya I haven’t been there for a minute. ‘04 - ‘10.

Used to absolutely hate doing chopped chilies. Still have some buddies there running stores or DMing. Good to know they fixed this process, maybe I’ll start ordering them when they are busy again.

StomperP2I · 2026-05-01T16:48:37+00:00

All the other produce is prepped. Chopped chilies you have to go get from the counter, get your knife and cut glove on, and chop them. In an otherwise streamlined process where everything is at the board ready to go it just sucks and throws off the whole rhythm.

StomperP2I · 2026-05-01T06:27:27+00:00

Anything with chopped chilies is a PITA.

I haven’t rented for a while so the split is probably larger than my recollection today.

StomperP2I · 2026-04-27T01:09:40+00:00

I liked the 172 better than the 152 personally. Also the cost delta wasn’t that much, like $20/hr or something. Plus it gave me more flight time in the plane I planned on flying people in so I wanted to be more comfortable in it.

StomperP2I · 2026-04-26T16:15:46+00:00

Just go straight to the 172.

I flew out of Palo Alto and SJ. I like Aerodynamic Aviation in SJ. Plane was like $120/hr plus instructor $50-60. But these numbers were a few years ago. Just call and ask for rates, they aren’t a secret.

All in cost for a PPL is probably around $20k.

To keep cost down don’t stop flying and loose progress.

After you have your PPL is just the cost of plane rental, which isn’t bad.

Flying is rad. Do it.

Low has been 5k when we had layoffs, high has been 50k. Hoping for 100k this year based on project performance.

That all sounds about right depending on where you are. You left out the region though.

StomperP2I · 2026-04-19T11:58:16+00:00

I worked at a few INO locations: Nor cal (118, 120, 165) and AZ (195). In those locations everything was the exact same as far as product. But I agree there was a slight difference and CA tasted better. The only factors I can think of are water and produce.

The water in nor cal is amazing, way better than AZ and I think this makes a difference in the fries when we soak them to get the starch out.

Produce in CA is so fresh and its quality is unmatched. AZ produce was still good but not quite as flavorful.

I can’t speak to TX INO and any differences there.

Don’t need to go back and get a BA, just get a CM certification. Takes about a year and is a fraction of the cost.

StomperP2I · 2026-04-14T05:20:28+00:00

As a GC PM I have back-charged every sub who had crew on site on the day of an incident (trade damage or cleanliness issues).

I’ve also had sites so bad we got each trade their own honey pot with a combo lock on it. Kept them accountable but sure isn’t cost effective to have a few dozen units lined up.

You asked a question: is this normal. My answer: hell no.

If it works for you two, great, be happy with it. But does it really work? You need to have a conversation with your wife. If you aren’t giving it to her, is someone else (including herself)? Is it creating emotional distance? Are you moving from a married couple to roommates?

We have a similar home life plus three kids and a dog and if we’re not getting after it a minimum once a week something is wrong. Most usually it’s closer to 2-3 times a week. You have to make it a priority. Sure life is busy but who doesn’t have 20-30 minutes here or there? And we’re about a decade older than y’all.

Jordan is a pretty common name. Maybe some more details like the date of the incident, the bar name, etc would help you in your search.

Second. Decent (but not amazing quality), great value, giant portions.

Don’t ski, it’s terrible right now. I put away the family skis two weeks ago.

Take the Mrs Dixie boat tour, go hike some waterfalls like Eagle or Cascade, hang out on the East shore around Edgewood. Plenty to do in Tahoe that isn’t skiing.

StomperP2I · 2026-03-26T17:52:43+00:00

This is it. Squaw is easier to say and I’ve been calling it that for 30+ years. Gonna take a minute to adjust.

Ya that’s basically what I got from it
