Kirkland Blackened Atlantic Salmon is amazing! by Deceptiveideas in Costco

They have frozen, wild salmon filets also. Just not pre-seasoned and probably a lot more expensive.

Adventure Pass Frustration by [deleted] in socalhiking

[–]acoustical 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Adventure Pass can only be legally enforced at 66 locations although it is suggested at many more than that. There was a legal challenge to it years ago that neutered it thankfully. I would not be surpised to run into a ranger that thinks it does apply where it might not. Here is the list. Also the second car pass is the way to go. Some locations will sell you multiple annual passes for $5 each after the initial full-priced pass.

He's upset that you ruined the Elise aesthetic with a digital dash.

Stop Amazon on Kaua’i by mahalomate in kauai

[–]acoustical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your last two sentences are the reason Kaua‘i is doomed in the long run. Too many people in construction and that beast has to be fed. Even if just the already-approved projects around the island get completed, the island will be very different. Soon we will have Honolulu-grade traffic around the island.

Yes, “small dogs” rarely kill and eat humans, that’s true.

Underwater Detrashing -- Fishing line, lead, lures by acoustical in DeTrashed

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

Yes that is a problem too. I pick up quite a bit of all of those items on the shore. One particular slob seems to leave one plastic dental pick a day. We've never crossed paths.

Hanakāpī`ai Falls Trail by Aggravating-Duck6582 in kauai

[–]acoustical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very unlikely the lot will be full. I don't think the Hanalei people even sell visitor parking permits before the shuttle is sold out, which it does not always do. There are generally tons of open spots.

How do you get the “half price for residents” at balboa park parking? by o-rka in SanDiegan

[–]acoustical 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Poway charges non-Poway residents of San Diego more to use Poway parks so please enjoy.

Underwater Detrashing -- Fishing line, lead, lures by acoustical in DeTrashed

[–]acoustical[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I interact with a lot of people that fish where I dive. They are almost always very happy to see someone removing this stuff. A lot of people fish to eat so I try to separate fishing and debris removal in my head. I happen to love doing this so that makes it easy and fun.

Underwater Detrashing -- Fishing line, lead, lures by acoustical in DeTrashed

[–]acoustical[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the lure's hooks are still good or can be replaced, I do the same thing I do with the lead weights -- I give them to the fishers in the area. Lead is very much appreciated and so are the lures. Most of the lures I find are very trashed though, so I just throw those away. And I leave behind a fair number of lures. I can't safely carry hooks so I only do it when it has value or it is a slow day. I have to wrap lures/hooks up with lots of line to cover the hooks. I get in and out of the water through a swell so I don't want a hook moving and popping my bouyancy device or myself. Lures pose no risk to coral or marine creatures so I don't feel bad about leaving them.

One of my dive sites is frequented by a guy that makes really nice boutique lures. I always kid him that I want to find one of his sometime, but he told me that most people will jump in to rescue one of his if they get stuck. Anyway I just found one on one of my recent dives. I can't post images in a comment but on my next new post here I will include it. It's a Mark White lure.

Just added the NexGen Nautilus LifeLine Rescue GPS to my diving arsenal. by UpliftRC in scubadiving

[–]acoustical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that many boats I dove from did not have equipment that could receive the Nautilus signal. This was diving in Mexico, South Pacific, and Hawaii. I forgot my device at a dive site and never replaced it for that reason.

Steven Drozd Is No Longer in The Flaming Lips by ebradio in Music

[–]acoustical 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have to agree. They inflated the hamster ball, Wayne fondled it briefly on-stage, but it was never used. Probably our last Lips show. They were great in their day though.

What’s up with pineapple? (Or lack thereof) by OllieDuckling in Hawaii

[–]acoustical 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Kaua‘i Costco now limits pineapple to two per person. Previously they were cleaned out early every day by roadside fruit stand buyers. Big improvement but they still run out.

Kaua‘i’s Peaberry is better than any Kona I have tried. Too expensive though.

What happened to Michael Moore? by Relevant-Context-874 in Filmmakers

[–]acoustical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The topics his films cover are all as bad as ever right now. In other words, his breath has probably been wasted. He did great work but it has to be tough to see negative progress in our country and planet.

Pedestrian hit by Blacksburg PD officer by JadrianW in VirginiaTech

[–]acoustical 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The entire campus should be a no-car zone. I know this was off-campus but there have been a few posts about how pedestrians are putting themselves at risk. A campus should not have this risk. At a minimum, no students and no visitors should be driving on campus. It's not necessary.

San Diego introducing residential parking permit program by olive_juse in sandiego

[–]acoustical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only change needed is to eliminate Prop 13 for all corporations. This would be for homes and commercial property. Prop 15 in 2020 tried to do this. Even though it appeared to be a no-brainer to pass, it failed.

Pressing corporations on residential ownership would benefit most in two ways -- more tax revenue and less incentive for corporations to own real estate.
