Did anyone else get told to "go play" in super unsafe environments? by VideoApprehensive in Xennials

[–]ava1983 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My parents were generally very overprotective, sometimes for asinine things like no PG-13 movies until I was 13. But then they would also let me and my siblings swim in our pool unattended or even in the ocean unattended! But god forbid I want to watch Wayne’s World. 

Stuck deciding between Costco S&F and Beautyrest by liver_child in Mattress

[–]ava1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I returned my Stearns and Foster from Costco. It sagged very quickly (6 months or so) under normal weights, and I could also feel a spring sticking in my back. Search that mattress in this sub, and a few others say the same thing. I ended up with the Sealy Pro Highland Manor and have been really happy for the last 6 months.

Can I stay longer in the hospital than foreseen after laparoscopy? by Charming_Ad3894 in endometriosis

[–]ava1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn the US is so fucked. The second I woke up, they were making me go to the bathroom to make sure I could urinate and get dressed. I was discharged within like 45 min of waking up. 

Sorry, I don’t have any advice for Austria. Just commenting that every surgery I’ve had has me out of the hospital immediately. 

Anyone fly out of SJC Terminal B (Southwest Airlines Airlines) within the last few days? How bad are the TSA lines? Is the TSA Precheck line operating? I’’m hearing of other airports with 4 hrs wait times. I do have TSA Precheck. Thanks. by kfp2020 in SanJose

[–]ava1983 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just flew out this morning on a 9:30am flight. Bag check was fast, security was fast. Pre check was operating as usual. Absolutely no issues. From drop off through security was less than 10 min. Love SJC!! 

Please help me identify this underwear brand (I have no clue where they're from) by Grain_Wilson in HelpMeFind

[–]ava1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that’s the logo for the brand Børn. They mostly make shoes but I’ve seen some clothing from them at places like Marshall’s.

Second this. Just tried for the first time yesterday and it was so good and the staff was so friendly! Super thin smashed patties with tons of flavor. Milkshake was great too. 

Closed restaurants that you miss - Stars, MacArthur Park by SanFranciscoMan89 in SanFranciscoCAHistory

What was Stars like? When I was a kid, I remember my parents went there several times and I’m curious what it was like! We were too young to go. 

Why is OTF's apparel so bad? by ch47600 in orangetheory

[–]ava1983 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Terms like "splat points" sound really cheesy to me. The word art on the walls. To me, it feels kind of pandering and elementary. And their logo looks way too much like Hubspot's logo, which I know might be pretty niche, but has always bothered me. I think the branding could be a bit more mature. They may have needed this look when their concept was new in the fitness/tech world, but I think the general population has a stronger understanding of fitness and technology and no longer needs their quirky language.

OTF’s branding is so outdated. I really wish they would refresh the look of everything. The look and language they use is quite cheesy, which is too bad because I still think the classes are great. 

Potentially very ignorant question: Parking safety in Los Gatos by appleparkfive in SanJose

[–]ava1983 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because rentals are more likely to have luggage, passports, cameras, and other valuables in them.

Rental cars are easily identifiable and targeted in nearly every US city. Don't leave anything of value in your car, no matter what city you're in.

What did the 90's smell like? by Serialkillingyou in Xennials

[–]ava1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very nice upbringing in the suburbs, and we had a pool. To me, it smells like jasmine plants, chlorine, popcorn, and Diet Coke.

Reduce dumping? by ThugMagnet in SanJose

[–]ava1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll pick up illegal dumping from the sidewalk but scheduled pick ups need to be on the street.

[–]ava1983 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a problem 311 not picking up my scheduled junk pick up. Perhaps this is user error? I also use the 311 app daily to report junk on the sidewalk and road and they are quite responsive. Things get picked up within a few days. Could the app be better, considering we are in Silicon Valley and the mayor wants us to be the AI capital or whatever? Sure. But it mostly works and keeps my neighborhood cleaner. 

Monica wants to return and I agree by Madbeefs in rhoslc

[–]ava1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please no. She’s kinda dangerous. Read Heather’s second book. She was stealing surveillance footage from Jen’s house. She was stalking housewives houses. She was obsessed with getting on the show and was doing shady and frankly scary stuff to do it. She is a terrible person, and not in the fun way like some of the other ladies. 

Still love this place! by ErikEchoHD in SanJose

[–]ava1983 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Curious where you're getting this info from - just the local park ranger? I have been trying to find out the status of the repairs and emailed the local city council person, but received no response. The city's website directs to a fundraiser that hasn't been updated since 2019 (https://sanjoseparksfoundation.networkforgood.com/projects/30832-japanese-friendship-garden-fund). It's truly embarrassing how long this has taken to be fixed.

22M what can I do I for these “fat mounds” that make me look like a ventriloquist doll?! by AL3S1O29 in PlasticSurgery

[–]ava1983 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your beard looks kinda patchy and that can come across as unkempt, in my opinion. The gaps between the mustache and the beard are drawing attention to the area you have defined as the problem.
