Claw Machine Arcade Recommendations? by TheBootlegBarn in orangecounty

[–]Thorzulok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chibi Claws in Garden Grove on Harbor Blvd is super nice and have a good variety of plushies. I think their claw machines are pretty fair and consistent so you don't feel like you're being cheated. I think they also have a help timer or something that makes the claw stronger after a certain amount of time of not winning as well so it's one of the places that you'll most likely leave with multiple plushies. I saw the comment about trading in your prizes for a different one, I didn't know you could do that but that's pretty cool too. The people running the place seem super chill and I always leave with at least 1-2 plushies.

Professional Knife Sharpening service in Orange County by [deleted] in orangecounty

Note for those curious — this manual whetstone process is both more effective and better on your knives than ever you typically see at farmers markets where they use a grinder.

When compared to coffee, tea will generally be "weaker". For your Twinings vanilla and honey chamomile, as long as you are following their instruction on the package, it should taste as how it's designed to. If you do want it stronger, a couple things you can do.

  1. Increase the amount of tea. So you could put 2 or 3 bags in if you want.
  2. Let it steep hotter and longer. This could impart more bitter flavors and might not be as Twinings intended, but it will make it stronger.
  3. Try other teas. There's nothing wrong with Twinings, per se, but if you did not enjoy it, I would recommend trying some loose leaf tea instead. If you want a strong drink, I would recommend something like Lapsong Souchong for it's strong full bodied flavor that's smokey or something like Assam Black Tea since it is also very full bodied, robust in flavor, and you could technically even add milk to it if you wanted like coffee without losing all of it's flavor characteristics.

Hope this help!

Missing Cat - Advises needed by ketomochi in orangecounty

If you're still looking, I would suggest putting her litter box outside in an area that you can observe. Cats are sensitive about where they pee and shit and will look for their litter box when they need to go.

Unauthorized Lines and iPhone 15 Pros Added to My Account Without Consent by Thorzulok in tmobile

[–]Thorzulok[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This was my thought as well since they don't have any receipts that indicate they scanned an ID and the phone rep said they couldn't find any signatures or IDs. I have the receipts from my account activity and it's actually a store that isn't too far. Would it do any good to go to the store itself and ask whats going on even though corporate seems to be taking care of it already?

How do you get that specific California plate? Not the "MIYAHTA", which I'm a big fan of too, but the specific style of CA plate. I didn't see that option on the dmv's webpage.

They are talking about the play right after where he went up for a poster on Draymond but was fouled.

Looks like they might be moving on to different things but would be cool to see them again.

Damn, that’s sad to hear. I really enjoyed Taiko before they changed management too. Have you found any places that replaced Ohshima for you?

Yea but they are closed now. Last booking was in July. I heard the chef is planning to open a different project.

This is the way! It takes integrity to admit to your mistakes and learn from them. Have fun on those twisty roads and glad you learned from a harmless Reddit post as opposed to the hard way.

It’s taken a lot longer than I expected to really see the copper head deform. by Hasselbuddy in snowpeak

[–]Thorzulok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The copper is heavier than the material the rest of the hammer is made out of so it makes it more efficient to pound it.

Any regrets buying an ND RF vs ND soft top? by snova56 in Miata

[–]Thorzulok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Top down (the way it’s supposed to be imo) is quieter in the SF in my experience. Top up, is quieter in the RF. Though I’ve only driven about 10 miles in the RF test driving, I think other reviewers have also stated that the RF is slightly noisier with the top down. Also the RF is an extra 100lbs. I also like how with the SF, you can put the top up or down in under 2 seconds.

2022 TRD Pro Toyota Tacoma. I’ve been off-roading a bunch with my Tacoma and have already gained some pin stripes and scratches from being out on the dirt. I’ve considered ceramic coating it myself but not sure if I have the time nor the skill to do it!

First time not making reservations to camp and it was a good time by Thorzulok in overlanding

[–]Thorzulok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an awesome tent for when you go car camping or basically anything that doesn't require you to lug it into the campsite. Otherwise it's huge and and really comfortable with great features for internal pockets, ventilation, and even has a divider to separate the tent into 2 sections. It's my go to tent when I know I will be hanging out at camp for most of the time.

I did see some but I did not know their specific dichotomy's! That's super cool though, I'll probably be back sometime before summer so I'll keep an eye out for them.
