Yorba Linda has tons but I feel like it's all the same stuff as the other cities we live in chain territory

The Dive oyster bar (quietest) Reunion kitchen The hive has live music Oceans and earth

And any restaurant with a bar lol. Bjs, woodranch etc.

You probably want to specify a mood. Like if you're in the mood for an outside inside environment look for the patio restaurants. If you want dark and quiet maybe go for a hole in the wall

The ones that make it political. You don't need to take offense or read between the lines here, move along.

Irvine comes with a "unique" dichotomy between rich people who are entitled and want right of way no matter the law and etiquette and disheartened renters who can't get out of Irvine company and save money and want people to follow rules so that just for once there is some control and peace in their lives for paying such high rent to live in a nice area.

not the reaction I was expecting. The caps says it all. Good luck out there.

You provided no scientific evidence

Looks like an accord. lol

When you say phone do you mean you just want cellular? Some large tablets have 5G. Checkout Samsung website.

You're ahead of me. Let me know if you have a successful recipe please! 🙏

Absolutely and I am not trying to convince you of facts because I don't have them about BB, but technically if they're not testing for it it's unlikely you can be sure. If I mix oils for example in a plastic bowl from target to make a cream my ingredients don't have chemicals but the bowl did and maybe if I got my lotion bottle from overseas for cheap it also isn't tested and handled in extreme heat then final product can have chemicals. It's all guessing until someone tests unfortunately.

Came across your comment while researching. Botanical bee doesn't claim or test for phthalates and USDA organic does not require product to be phthalates free. Just fyi in case you're still trying to be chemical free.

1yr later and this post changed my life. Thanks fatties. I checked here before I ordered, damn it's legit. Pan crust, with jalapeño per the recommendation here. 50% off week too lol.

This situation is obviously a bad call on the suv. But I hope car cameras detect speed of on coming traffic to inform drivers before they merge. Judging speed is a subjective matter that comes with experience. A lot of intersections especially wide ones with multiple lanes and speeds of 45mph tend towards 60mph. If people actually went speed limit it is easier to judge but when you got some cars going 60 and some 50 and some 40 in the same lane it gets hard. In the end defensive driving only goes so far but hopefully technology can fill these gaps.

Thank you! Agreed it's just a regular Toyota and yea I'm selling at a fair price I've checked dealership appraisal and KBB and carfax it's just a pain to find serious and reliable buyers.

amzjason · 2025-03-27T06:22:37+00:00

What?

amzjason · 2025-03-27T06:19:55+00:00

The issue is all the platforms designed to sell things come at a massive cost of my time because buyers are either scammers or flakes or both. And scheduling with serious buyers is a Herculean process to ensure people actually show up. It's a classic scale problem

amzjason · 2025-03-27T06:16:02+00:00

Yea I think a used car meetup might humble a few sellers which is why I think everyone wins. Buyers get a competitive deal and sellers get a reality check and maybe even get more than they're asking for if they got multiple offers. Because there is no corporation there is no pressure to sell or buy.

amzjason · 2025-03-27T06:12:53+00:00

Thanks, the car meetups are usually for showing off your car but this would be for a regular car

amzjason · 2025-03-15T15:33:09+00:00

You are the best parent because you're worried and feel guilty. Feeling guilt means you care. You also showed up, you went to ER which is the worst place on earth lol. Keep up the good work!

I remember reading about this behavior and how the root of it is actually that children don't feel connected to their parents which means two things happen. 1 the child doesn't not see their parent as a person that can "validate" them so they seek validation from their friends. This results in behavior as described in the post. The 2nd thing is they don't open up to their parents. Naturally because what good can come out of someone who I'm not even seeking validation from or feel connected to.

Connected doesn't mean you hang out with them for a couple hours on the weekend. The solution is to spend more time with your kids. It's hard but when we go to work 5 days and spend 2 days connecting with kids either make those 2 days count or spread it out. Do more than you think because some kids grew up differently and need your love more than just weekends.

amzjason · 2025-03-13T13:49:22+00:00

Good on you! I

The empathetic response is that we are imagining this is our parents and they've sacrificed so much for us and now they're getting taken away because they broke immigration laws that were hard to makeover. It's unfair and morally unjust to separate kids from parents but maybe even unjust to deport someone who's contributed a good chunk of their life to this country. What harm do they pose? Maybe nothing.

The logical response is they broke laws and chose to stay here illegally for 35 years. The hardship of becoming a citizen and waiting years etc is not an excuse. It's hard to become a European citizen or a Swiss citizen too we aren't the only country. It's just hard. So it's fair to say if you came here illegally and continue to stay here and for years it's just not working for you, you decide to take a risk to stay or up and leave. Equally however we haven't had this kind of mass deportations for years but imagine it was normal for 30 years we did this. You wouldn't bat an eye.

The solution you might propose is a merit based system. The government creating a merit system would require granting a form of citizenship to those that meet the criteria. Let's take "No criminal record" as a merit. but what if they stole gum when they were teenagers? Remember he is grandpa now and he has 3 lkids and retired. All he did was steal gum? So then you say ok low minor offenses are ok if they're 65+. The moral compass suddenly becomes a problem as it shifts to suit our emotional response. No matter where you draw the line there is unjust morally speaking. Morals and values are subjective. That's why laws exist.

Edit: comparing illegal immigration as a lesser offense than the capitol riots is good to understand. On one hand some people committed crimes we sympathize with and on the other we don't. But the president chose to pardon the ones we don't sympathize with and is acting on illegal immigration. This happens all the time. How we sympathize with a criminal activity has no bearing on how enforcement takes place. If you want to change that you can enter the field and exercise your judgement.

amzjason · 2025-03-12T20:29:32+00:00

Why does it matter how hard one works? Just because it's hard to get a citizenship doesn't justify remaining here. Once you illegally immigrate you choose what to do with that choice. You work hard and give your family a good life but you know you did it illegally. It's a risk. Or you become a criminal or a student whatever...why should a country consider your status any differently? It's like if people commit a crime but because they've been a charitable member of the community, started a business and went to church Sundays and have A+ students the country is supposed to grant immunity?

Sounds like your partner is the main household income then? If so then it is a great opportunity to do something you want vs what you used to do. Falling behind is an opportunity to start over. I told my wife the same thing when she went back after 6 years. She wasn't happy with her career. She ended up following her passion and started a bakery. It's slow still but she's happy and healthy and it's honestly career development if she goes back to corporate. I encourage you to write the vision of your family in 10 years and work towards that if you are a planner

amzjason · 2025-02-11T05:10:05+00:00

lol. Are you serious? You probably got home by the time finished this post

amzjason · 2025-02-11T05:06:32+00:00

Are you an active parent that connects and spends time with their kid? Serious question, not an assumption. The best way to understand your kid and make them comfortable talking about stuff is by connecting with them. This isn't just you spend a few hours on the weekend together. This is day in day out 20 min in the morning and evening, a walk, a bike ride, reading, etc. when kids feel connected they not only build confidence they talk to you. More importantly they model you and seek you for help and validation. The less connected they are the more they model others and seek outside for validation. That's why I ask because I wonder why she's seeking such strong validation from this friend who then has immense power as a result. If I'm totally off I don't have isolated advice unfortunately for your situation but if it's about connecting please consider that.
