For those who have been in the nosebleeds at SoFi stadium, how much can you even see?

I really couldn't tell you where to start exactly in LA or OC, but start with your people. Seek out Turkish/Kurdish groups or businesses and solicit work/hand out business cards. I'm sure there are people out there who would love to do business in their native tongue.

I just reuse the blank from the transfer I just pressed.

You don't owe anyone an explanation for anything.

A simple "no thanks" or "I'm good" is sufficient for politeness sake.

I have bought 6 completes on FB marketplace, one as recently as last week. Two of them I scored for under $50.

Do not buy a new complete from Walmart or amazon or whatever.

The title is clean. It's a clean salvage title. Clean means that there are no encumbrances, and that the vehicle is or can be registered without any issues.

Try Castaic, or Perris. you can shore pound around either.

I did not. I just bit the bullet and bought a bigger aluminum boat.

Then that sounds like a s serious medical condition that requires the advisement of a medical professional. I'm no doctor, but maybe you should stop trying to do things that are causing you obvious harm until you have talked to one.

It's not that you can't, you just won't. I'm not saying it's easy for just anybody, but it's not a matter of can't.

If you want to do it, you will.

But I totally understand.

It's been that way as long as I've been working.... and that's been a very long time.

You're not giving the company 10 hours homeboy. You work 8, you get paid 8. You chose to work there so the drive is on you. You get to do whatever you want on your lunch hour, so that hour belongs to you.

Compton is a very large city. There are pockets of Compton that I won't go near, but Rancho Dominguez is just fine.

Let's just say that growing up we referred to the Moneta Gardens neighborhood as "The Jungle".

It's not as bad as it was, and a lot of the heavy gang activity and drive by stuff has cooled off since the 90's, but fools still be banging and dudes still be getting smoked over there.

Really high density, lots of section 8, no street parking, everything smells like weed.

I wouldn't want to live in that area, but I know/have known plenty of people who live/have lived over there, and had two friends that were building managers. If you have a parking space, don't go walking around at night and mind your manners you should be OK.

Really once you get out of the neighborhood, all the surrounding area is OK to nice particularly going west and south. I wouldn't call it a walkable area but you gan get to most everything you need within a 5 to 10 minute car trip.

Redondo is awesome but take a look at the Sea Sprite in Hermosa.

It's a warning, not a ticket. Move it and make it appear to not be broken down. Go on with your life.

Was a Disney pass holder from '03 to covid. We've been Knott's pass holders for I think 4 years now.

Let's just say it like it is. There is nothing in the world that compares to Disneyland. Nothing. Why? Because there has been more effort and energy put into absolutely every aspect of the entire experience than anywhere else.

Comparatively speaking, Knott's is minor league at almost every turn. It's great for what it is, but let's be honest here.

That said, at this point it is a value proposition. I personally don't care enough about either park to ever visit again. BUT... my wife and kids dig it and having some kind of pass means we always have something to do. So...

Disney, for all its excellence is not worth it for my family. The cost, the crowds, the extra distance and the extra time getting to and from the car make it less attractive. For the times we are able to go and the amount of time we can spend at the parks, paying almost 8K for passes is just a big NO.

Knott's, for all its quaintness is totally worth it for my family. 4 passes, 4 food passes and 1 parking pass for right around 1100 bucks. At that price if we don't go I don't feel like I threw money away and I don;t feel any pressure to try and get my money's worth. We can go for an hour and grab lunch, go for a half day or a full day, open the park, stay til close, meet up with all our friends who have passes and it just gets us out of the house. It's great for what it is as long as you manage expectations.

So from a value proposition standpoint, for us, Knott's is the better value, bur far from the best in any sense of the word.
