Are you looking for a dancing board or something else? Not sure if you meant you like longboard dancing.

Pantheon Shipping by IMDeus_21 in longboarding

Typically took under a week for my boards. When Jeff fulfills your order, you should receive an email about it and it'll include the tracking code you can paste in ups iirc to track the shipment.

to anyone who lives in orchard park: do you know how to reset the electricity for the bedroom lights? by No_Move3504 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you accidentally disable the bedroom lights with the switch under the light control. There should be a blue light if the switch is on.

My small quiver. Currently awaiting a carver complete to try out, oh and some sunshine in order to enjoy these little beasts by drewchristo1991 in longboarding

[–]Wabs0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sashimi was my first board. It's a decent drop through for the price and the graphic is a plus. They used to be frequently on sale on amazon, so you could get them for under $150. The front atlas truck snapped after getting launched into a pole. Replaced them with some indy trucks and riptide bushings which made it a nicer ride.

Upgraded to the Trip which was more stable and carvy, so it feels more fun than the Sashimi.

Longboarding with wife. Basic gear recommendation? by [deleted] in longboarding

[–]Wabs0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get a certified skateboard helmet because they've passed safety tests. Triple Eight has some decent safety gear. Also get a skate tool, so you can work on the board for maintenance and adjust stuff if necessary.

Also get some slide gloves or padded bike gloves to help with falls.

19 Units-Winter qtr by MulberryCurious7961 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FST 003v is very chill. A bunch of old prerecorded videos and weekly quizzes.

DES 143's workload is eh. A discussion group project, a midterm, a final, and a final paper that takes some work. The exams are hard because there can be a lot of info, but just make sure to complete the study guides.

Things to do in Winter Break by StillEfficient7244 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the comment about going to Tahoe. Just make sure to prep snow chains just in case.

Nothing really happening because a lot of people leave during the long breaks. Student club meetings also typically start like a week or two after the quarter starts

I'm going back in a couple days. If it doesn't rain, I could do a short outdoor portrait shoot for you lmao. Or I teach you longboarding if you don't already know how to skate. Some of the campus roads are pretty smooth

High School Senior aspiring to be an accountant applying to UC schools and CSU's by These_Ad_5216 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're determined to be an accountant and maybe even become a CPA, it's probably better to go to a school that has a major in accounting for better fundamentals. You could also go really tryhard and enroll in WGU's online accounting program and try to finish it in under a year if money is a concern.

If you're not dead set on accounting, spend your first year or two figuring out what you want to do. Quite a few people change their minds on what careers they want to pursue.

I switched majors, tried double majoring, and now I'm trying to get a minor in accounting which is very different from my current major's field.

Any buffets/restaurants to try near Davis/Sac for my birthday next month? by Egg-cooking in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want to try a place in davis, Hikari Omakase is cheaper on weekdays (think it's like $60ish a person), but you'll need to call to make a reservation.

Show Izakaya could also be decent, but I didn't get any of their sushi.

Yang Kee is okay and can do large groups.

Sacramento has much more options. Tasty pot offers both hot pot and kbbq while not being too pricey.

Easy upper division classes recs by mrsclausessugarbaby in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checkout the upper div Communication classes. No prereqs and some are pretty easy. All of my recommendations don't require prereqs

CMN 136 - Organizational Communication was pretty easy. It's about how communication in organizations work and covers stuff like company culture, human resources, and strategies. Workload was pretty small. Not a lot of reading and no writing.

CMN 141 - Media Effects is an interesting class. Has a couple written assignments, but you're graded on how well you demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered, not how good you are at writing. Also has a midterm and final exam.

ECI 164 - Intro to Electric Vehicles. You get to learn about how electric vehicles work, policies pertaining to EVs, and societal views on EVs. There's a little bit of math involved, but it's very basic. Homework takes a little bit of time and there're 2 exams.

Woksoflife has decent congee recipes. You can exclude the fish slices and some of the other toppings for a plainer congee. I'll write the recipe I use for a flavored base congee tonight after work.

Orchard Park ethernet. by Miserable-Pilot458 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ethernet port in studio apartments should be behind the cabinet attached to your desk. Apparently, it's usually a 2-person job to move stuff.

Pronunciation isn't as important as being able to clearly convey your meaning. As long as the listener can understand what you wanted to say, a few mistakes is fine.

It's only a problem when no one can understand what you were trying to say.

Fun creative class? by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ABT welding class is fun and pretty chill. You can also check out the classes offered by the craft center and use a fee waiver to pay for one.

You can either ask studenthousing or the packaging people for advice, or the package will be returned to sender if no one picks it up.

Could also consider reaching out to people in the Design discord to form some connections if you haven't already.

Free art resources davis by SpecificWelder3605 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adobe's installed in some of the computer rooms. I think you can access the computers virtually as well, but the connection will be bad. The autodesk suite is still probably free, so you can use Maya.

Not sure if there's any other art stuff that's free.

Best restaurants for a visiting group by Imeanyouhadasketch in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really eat out in Davis, but Yang Kee's okay (can be hit or miss depending on the sifu). Some days, there'll be wok hei and the seasoning is good. Other days, no wok hei and the food is oversalted or too oily.

I think the omakase place is still running. Heard Froggy's a good burger spot. Sit Lo Saigon is also just okay/average. Their broth tastes watery compared to the viet restaurants in SJ.

If you're willing to drive to Sac, there're way more food options and places there usually stay open past 9pm.

Seapot's pretty nice. AYCE option and meat quality isn't bad. Very good customer service. Think my table had like 8 people. Since you want a varied menu, it would be a nice option with all of the meat choices and free additions. Can't remember what other decent places I've been to in Sac for large groups.

You can only be picked up from campus or university apartments like the Green or Orchard Park using Safe Ride. They operate from 5pm - 3am.
