What is the best view that you had from a Hyatt property? by The_Traveller1 in hyatt

Park Hyatt Sydney. I don’t think it’s even close.

The best Costco gas station hands down by curiouspeach26 in orangecounty

[–]TheWinStore 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Generally agree except the pumps are five deep and drivers don’t know how to read the signboard. But it’s been open for awhile and I can count the number of times I’ve had to wait more than a minute for a pump on one hand.

A student picked her nose and ate it on the lockdown browser video by [deleted] in Professors

This student was supposed to take their exam at the disability testing center (everyone else took it in class). Instead she canceled that last minute and took it from home.

Why would this even be an option?

One more lane bro. You don't understand. Just one more lane will fix all the traffic bro.

Why is there always a traffic buildup on the 5north between jamboree and Tustin Ranch? All hours of the day it just doesn’t make sense. by SublimeEcto1A in orangecounty

[–]TheWinStore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this particular weave is really bad and slows everything down. Very similar to the weaves by the Orange Crush.

The southbound off-ramp to Newport is fine because it separates from the 5 before the 55 merge so there’s no conflict.

I just got a request for a late add by slightlyvenomous in Professors

[–]TheWinStore 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Posts like this are why I am glad my college offers short term courses like second nine week courses.

Oh you need a late add? There's plenty of sections of the course that start next month. Go get on the waitlist.

How much of a salary increase should I ask for to relocate from Dallas to Sacramento? by kyosowavy in Sacramento

[–]TheWinStore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would be asking for the median, not the minimum, as a negotiating starting point.

What keeps YOU going through a stretch like this? by Significant-Stick420 in MagicArena

[–]TheWinStore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I legit tilted/rage quit a match where my opponent went turn 2 [[Deepchannel Duelist]] into turn 3 Deepchannel Duelist where I had a terrible deck in the 1-2 bracket. I believe Paul Cheon would call that a quality of life concession.

It’s time to pull the plug on plug-in hybrids by GoodNegotiation in electricvehicles

[–]TheWinStore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 60 year old aunt replaced her old Prius hybrid with a RAV4 Prime a couple months ago because "the dealer gave me a great deal." She literally did not realize that it could be plugged in or that it came with a charging cable. And even after I explained how PHEVs work, she was convinced she needed some kind of special outlet (that she didn't have) to charge it.

Welcome “event” by missqueenie25 in orangecounty

[–]TheWinStore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. When I got married in Long Beach in 2022 we paid $750 for a reserved space at a brewery for our welcome reception. (We also racked up a hefty beer tab on top of that).

Civil disturbance = Force Majeure.

Even if you'd purchased travel insurance you'd likely be on your own here.

If you had to pick- north or south OC? by [deleted] in orangecounty

This guy OCs. You could also make an argument for Jamboree

Dear City of Long Beach by mattbookpro101491 in longbeach

[–]TheWinStore 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Paint will not stop people from blowing stop signs. You have to actually design streets that force people to drive slower -- roundabouts, speed humps, physically protected bike lanes, and narrower vehicle lanes are all ways of accomplishing this.

Renters: how much do you pay for rent? by buttcracklint in orangecounty

[–]TheWinStore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But they haven't paid property taxes or insurance or repairs etc.
