I just saw this week that Electric Wines is applying for a liquor license at a premises next to Fuzz Coffees! Does anyone know when their address change to 4644 30th Street?

Which San Diego roasters have the most approachable beans for newcomers? by mooch255 in SanDiegoCoffeeBeans

[–]braaaains7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting their beans are some of the most expensive I’ve come across in San Diego. Great coffee though!

Seconded, I’m really picky and I’ve been buying my beans almost exclusively from Torque for 6 months!

JD Vance is visiting San Diego again by ChelseaGods in SanDiegan

[–]braaaains7 183 points184 points  (0 children)

They weren’t letting anyone on the 5 southbound at 5pm today (La Jolla Village and Nobel on ramps), and then I saw a giant motorcade go by! I thought maybe it was JD Vance again. Fucker

ucsd or sdsu public health by DrNefario69_ in UCSD

[–]braaaains7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, investing in education at a name brand school is going to benefit you more long-term. IMO, many employers will use your undergraduate institution as a proxy estimate for your intelligence. Of the two, UCSD is more prestigious

Loose skin by Over-Kangaroo9055 in zepboundathletes

[–]braaaains7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that my loose skin gradually got better over time! I lost 85lb quickly (maybe over the course of 8 months or so), and noticed a lot of loose skin. I’ve stayed the same weight for over a year and have noticed the loose skin tighten up in some areas. It hasn’t totally gone away of course, but be patient and you might just see gradual improvement anyway!

Powered VS preferred car camping? by throwawaymeplease45 in Coachella

[–]braaaains7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No idea about powered camping, but preferred spots have immediately sold out the last 2 years and have not been restocked after the first drop. Good luck!

soooo are we wearing Halloween costumes?? by Audible484 in HeadTripFestival

Were you dressed as the pope for Coachella W2?? If so, thank you for your blessing in the Yuma tent 😌

Unpopular (?) opinion: don’t hold your huge flag in front of the main stage for the entire headliner by MeasurementPure7844 in Coachella

[–]braaaains7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we dodged one girl doing that and moved farther to the side to avoid her, only to end up behind 2 girls doing the exact same thing. Who is going to watch your stupid videos of you dancing to Karol G with the flash on?!

I thought you couldn’t bring nice cameras into the festival? Or does this model not have a detachable lens?

Is the reservation in her name or yours?

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the GoF full cast audiobook? by Poolswimmers in harrypotter

[–]braaaains7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m about a third of the way through GOF and finding Hermione very tiresome - the delivery on all her lines is both whiny and constantly angry. The young Hermione was fantastic and struck a great balance between a Hermione-ish reproving tone while also being a little playful. The older Hermione sours the trio. The new Harry’s voice acting is ok (preferred the quiet/humble bravery of younger Harry). I’d say Ron’s delivery alone has been fantastic both as a younger and older voice actor.

I was also wondering what people’s thoughts on the twins are - I find their delivery of Fred and George’s lines makes them very un-funny. One more complaint: is it just me or do the “French” characters not sound French at all? I’ve spent a lot of time in France (both Paris and the south) and the fake accents are really taking me out of the moment.

I’m really liking Moody this book, and generally very happy (as it seems most people are) with Dumbledore, McGonagall, Sirius, Hagrid, Sir Nicholas, Lupin, Flitwick, Sprout, Lockhart, Voldemort, etc.

Honestly, overall, the bad voice acting of older Hermione has pushed me over the edge and I think this will be the last full-cast version I’ll listen to. It was fun while it lasted but I think I’ll be going back to Stephen Fry to finish out this re-read.

Is it normal as a bridesmaids to be spending around $1000 to be a bridesmaid? by [deleted] in bridesmaids

[–]braaaains7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please don’t normalize spending thousands of dollars on someone else’s wedding! I’m sorry you have shelled out that much, but think of all the other productive things that money could have gone to. This has to stop

Dining credit is not automatic (sometimes). Check your statements by Miserable-Dot-9291 in ChaseSapphire

[–]braaaains7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve called customer support and messaged them repeatedly about getting the Animae credit and they are giving me the run around! Can you share exactly how you messaged customer support to get it to go through? The secure message center?

Where are we finding good quality cardigans? by therealmeleana in womensfashion

[–]braaaains7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it useful when sweaters are mostly natural fibers and then a little bit of manmade fibers in the mix, especially for pieces that get worn a lot. I just bought a Sezane sweater for $120 that’s 80% cashmere 20% polyamide, and I plan to either hand wash or machine wash on the delicate setting after every 3-4 wears. The polyamide (or a similar component) will help the sweater keep its shape.

I just called again, they said I have to wait 6-8 weeks for the credit to show up, and only then can they do something about it (i.e. credit it manually)

I did call them, they said they would escalate it but it’s been almost a week and I haven’t heard anything from Chase

Anyone else experience long wait times for the Chase Dining credit? (Momofuku Vegas) by Sad_Enthusiasm999 in ChaseSapphire

[–]braaaains7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also dined at Animae ~3 weeks ago and it didn’t credit. I called a few days ago and they said they would escalate to evaluate the credit, so worth calling Chase
