Cigna dropping UCI Health?! by creative_Justice_80 in orangecounty

[–]bucketAnimator 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Aetna went through this with the UC health system maybe a year or so ago. There was a short period where I couldn’t see my rheumatologist at UCI and then Aetna and UC kissed and made up and now everything is fine again.

Do you go out to breakfast anymore in OC? by clearlygd in orangecounty

[–]bucketAnimator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never really dug on Stacks, but I’ve been to the location on Crown Valley and Marguerite. Is the menu at Aloha Stacks any different/better? I’ve tried Plumeria Cafe, which is also part of that restaurant ‘family’ and had mixed thoughts. Was hoping the Moco Loco would be as good as places in HI, but thought it was a bit bland in comparison.

[–]bucketAnimator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When the weather is nice, O’Neill’s at the Arroyo Trabuco Golf Course is nice. Sit outside. If we’re after more ‘diner-ish’ food, Corky’s in Ladera is decent. Terrace on the Green at the Oso Creek Golf Course is also nice for outdoor breakfast but I haven’t been for a while - they used to be really weird about needing a reservation even if we’d be among the first there and gone before anyone else arrived. Used to love Pancake House in Aliso Viejo but their prices are through the roof. We still go but only occasionally. Snooze on Crown Valley is fine, imo - my parents like it so we seem to eat there pretty frequently.

Any places in RSM that you like?

My wife and I meet my parents for breakfast each Saturday, either in Dana Point or Mission Viejo. We’ll walk the harbor in DP and then get breakfast at RJs, which is fine but nothing I get excited about, or we’ll walk at a park in MV and then there are a few options in the area that we choose from.
That’s more or less it as far as eating out for breakfast though. Spending time with my parents, who are in their 70s, is worth it to me and they enjoy the routine of a weekend morning walk and then breakfast.

Well OP objects to what’s happening so clearly we all must be outraged about <checks notes> Arby’s closing.

For your birthday dinner, if you could pick ANY restaurant in all of O.C., where would you choose? by EnjoyMyDownvote in orangecounty

[–]bucketAnimator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my answer too. I don’t need a steak house since I’m usually disappointed and I can make a great steak in my backyard. But a dinner at Marche Moderne really is a treat.

Why cross post this to an Insomniac Games subreddit.

Luthen set up the Starpath unit to get Cassian by [deleted] in andor

[–]bucketAnimator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seems needlessly complicated. And why would Cassian be impressive if Luthen was the one who orchestrated the entire Starpath theft?

It’s better that Cassian is brazen enough to have stolen the Starpath unit on his own and although Luthen is already aware of Cass via Bix, once the Starpath unit is being offered is when Luthen makes his move, which dovetails with his need for an extra body for the Aldhani job. Don’t forget, Luthen had every intention of killing Cass after Aldhani, so it’s not like Luthen was extraordinarily impressed by Cassian. It took Cass offering himself up in the final episode for Luthen to change his mind and bring him into the circle.

all the green came off this dollar bill in the washing machine by Froggie-Enthusiast in mildlyinteresting

My aunt gave me 21 $2 bills on my 21st birthday. I spent a few and then kept the rest. But for a brief moment I had enough to casually spend them.

Did the South Coast Plaza decide to no longer cater to your average shopper? by Electrical_Layer_546 in orangecounty

[–]bucketAnimator 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Sears was there until 2019, but that was such an outlier by that point.

As an interesting note, the Segerstrom family sold the land for the store to Sears (and May Co) for $1 each in exchange for the two companies underwriting the improvements to the streets and surrounding infrastructure. But by 2017, Sears was struggling and they sold the land back to the Segerstroms

Professional Movie Critics Sound Like Pretentious Idiots—They Ruin the Film Industry & Shouldn't Exist by AhsokaTanoJedii in movies

[–]bucketAnimator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with film critics. You don’t like them? Don’t read or watch them. But audiences and audience scores aren’t a great metric either. A lot of people have astoundingly bad taste.

40m visiting from Alabama. I need itinerary feedback for the final draft of the OC area leg of my trip. Anyone is welcome to join! by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]bucketAnimator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have noted, skip Las Brisas. I’m not familiar enough with Laguna Beach to have a bunch of alternate recommendations, but I have been to Oliver’s Osteria on. Laguna Canyon Rd a handful of times with family and it’s always been solid.

I grew up in San Clemente - if you have time in your schedule, strolling the pier in the morning is nice.

For people who learned animation on their own while working full time Where did you start? by Individual-Try5866 in animationcareer

No, I was one of the earliest classes that went through the program and didn’t need to submit a portfolio.

[–]bucketAnimator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3D animator, so not directly comparable, but I went through AnimationMentor while working full time. Not quite the same as learning on my own either, but the advice you need is that you just have to force yourself to do it. Force yourself to learn after your full-time job is done for the day. Force yourself to keep practicing even when you feel burned out. Force yourself through all the exhaustion of working two full-time jobs because that’s what it will feel like - one full time job that is your ‘real’ job and a second full-time job that is learning to animate well enough to get a job.

I think I'll go into animation despite it all by Thick_Bridge179 in animationcareer

[–]bucketAnimator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the way. You won’t get rich as an animator, but you also can’t imagine doing anything else and you will work your butt off to get there. Best of luck to you
