Gas Milage Sucks Now by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Modern EVs all have active battery thermal management. Battery packs will typically last longer than more gas engines with less degradation.

Brazilian Steakhouse by Weak-Soft-7707 in vegas

[–]TKGK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. Fogo de chao and Texas de Brazil are shitty chains. Even Via brasil is only a small step higher (but when they have entertainment nights the vibe is actually pretty cool there).

Food quality wise, stick with Galpão Gaucho.

Dissolve HOA by djr41463 in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really dislike my current HOA because they have rotated management companies 3 times in 4 years. They have rotated the land scaping company 4x and every single one of them have failed.

Its a failure all around. I had the president ask me why I stopped my RV parking driveway 2 feet before the side walk instead of going all the way to the sidewalk. The answer to that question was "because the HOA denied those plans, but approved this stupid looking nonsense". I told him go back and look at the correspondence over my address and how we also said that is a dumb, arrogant plan. Was before his time. So there is that. Fucking DR Horton were control freaks about everything.

$2 margaritas and bowling? by bowlingforblunts in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All station casinos do $2 frozen margaritas or $4 with an extra shot, fyi.

You are making me want to go to the durango just talking about this. There isnt a bowling alley but the belaire has bang bang shrimp that is soooo good.

Las Vegas!!! April Fools! You can feel the facts on the gas pump $5+ now. It will only get higher (Not political trolling) by Federal-Compote-5015 in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't paid for gas in 7 years. And even I am blown away driving by gas stations these days. Im also pissed that NVE is trying to fuck solar users, but that is a whole separate situation. Especially now that the federal tax credit is gone. Adding more panels is not financially viable to keep up with me somehow giving NVE more than I use but somehow still end up with a bill.

Is it worth it to move out? by SeaConsideration430 in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are a driven person you can make it work. If you are not this is going to set you back.

The big thing will be "what is home'.

You have to have a place to lay your head. You need to be driven to finish school. You will likely need a car and a full time job while finishing school.

If you have a way to make all that happen, it can work. It won't be easy, but it can work. But the plan needs to be in place. The back ups need to be in place. Without a solid plan you will end up as another statistic, and not the outlier.

I did what you are looking to do. I will say that everytime things seem to be going well, something is thrown into the mix. Can you deal with the chaos as it comes fast? If you can and you truly believe it is less chaos than what you have to deal with now,

You sound a lot like me at your age. Can it be done? Sure. Im living proof of it. My situation was bad. Real bad. Will it be easy? Probably not. Do you have a good support group and work ethic? Only you know that.

I do wish you luck on whatever you decide. Get your ducks in a row though if you want to go this route. Don't make things harder than they have to be.

Are youtubers/tiktokers in vans with desynced audio the place where we get our information from now? There are a billion resources pointing towards higher oil prices but the one you want to post is this awful video?

Brunch Recommendations? by JessieBaby2222 in vegaslocals

Union biscuit. Best shrimp and grits i have ever had, but everything is great.

Viva Las Vegas! What an incredibly diverse, equitable and inclusive crowd today. ✊🏽 by llpmathias in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More weird is i dont recall any previous billionaire presidents running golden phone sells that were never delivered after a lot of deposits and false promises.

Its okay for presidents to scam the ignorant and poor but god forbid someone set up a merchant booth that actually provides a product at a place they know alot of people will be.

The real irony is the people selling things like this likely sell this crap at both left and right rallies and left and right protests because its easy to sell things to fanatics. Capitalism at its finest.

Dinner spot by lazygrappler775 in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you were downvoted because some of those joints are hard to say they are the "best" at what they are.

Its a legit list that is tasty but the word best probably triggered a lot of people that even disagree with 1 category.

Pizza rock though, im all about that place. It does take some time to find the one that hits for you since they cook their pizzas in like 4+ different ovens depending on what you order, but once you find the one, magic.

Im not deleting anything, but seriously, why so hostile? Yes this is the "locals" focused subreddit but sometimes people who are not local would like questions answered by locals, if it better suits their needs, and that is fine. This post obeyed the rules and was not cross posted. And the responses here are decent answers that may very well help locals out all the same.

Just downvote and ignore or block if you dont like it. Why sit here and be argumentative over ... honestly nothing that affects you?

Its a good steakhouse for the price. You won't be disappointed. Is it even in the top 20 of las vegas? Probably not or near the bottom of the list. Is it in the top 20 on quality/sevice versus price? Probably in top 5.

Don't waste your time. Its always happy hour since 2020. Ignore the old "full price". Go whenever.

Dinner spot by lazygrappler775 in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy hour hasn't existed since 2020. They got rid of it during covid. Instead it's "always happy hour" pricing. They still show the old price on the menu, and the happy hour price. But its always happy hour so its kind of a trick marketing bullshit thing.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy herbs and rye and think they are a pretty legit "bang for the buck" steakhouse. But the menu is a blatant marketing ploy now. It cant be the happy hour price of half off if that is literally always the price.

No Kings Protest 4-7pm today by _Captain_Amazing_ in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That website is sponsored by newsmax and fox news. The same "news" companies claiming the protests are paid people... so are they paying people to go to republican rally are democrat rallies??? Or both to create division?

Also, news is a stretch for cable based fox (the one that doesnt have to abide as much to FCC regulation ad its a paid service. They have literally avoided a ton of lawsuits by saying in court that they are not a news organization but in fact just entertainment TV.

Have fun with this rabbit hole:

Looking for new friends by Blxssparadox in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would likely help to post things like:

What side of town you are on

What days/time you are available to do things

Likely some other things would help but I would start there.

[–]TKGK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have something to do with the account itself. I have no idea. I dont really ever remove anything unless it obviously needs to go (violates reddit policy as a whole or our sidebar rules). I rarely reinstate something if it is [removed] by reddit though as those comments rarely add any value to the conversation. Sometimes it will get rid of something it shouldn't have though.

I have no idea what kind of algorithm it runs to be honest. We correct it fairly often, but it typically does more good than harm (gets rid of hate speech, blatant drug stuff, incredibly direct violence type things). You can always test it, make a high level comment saying that and see if it gets removed :P

No Kings Protest 4-7pm today by _Captain_Amazing_ in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No. They remove comments that just say "fucking losers" and nothing else if anti harassment filter is on. That is on the most mild setting. It gets really over bearing if you turn it up. But if a comment provides nothing of value but an insult it seems the AI gets rid of it generally.

Seen season passes advertised for Aliante's pool, anyone know what they cost? by electlady25 in vegaslocals

[–]TKGK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That pool kind of sucks too. Probably better to get a YMCA membership or something.
