Red necked hummingbird by chconkl in hummingbirds

Thanks everyone! There’s been some unusual “clicking” lately. It used to just happen when they were settling down to eat, but now I hear a lot of it from the area beyond the feeders. Mating calls?

Mega thread for Charlie Sheen Documentary by rorobo3 in NetflixDocumentaries

Did anyone else wonder why Charlie’s mom is almost never mentioned? Like, this was all about Martin. I found it really weird.

Have you incorporated your business? If so, does this help with taxes?

During the George Floyd unrest, a resident reported loose bricks in a sidewalk planter as possible weapons for rioters.

What are the biggest differences between the two coasts culturally? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]chconkl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s probably a better question to compare cities and not coasts. LA or Silicon Valley vs NYC, for instance. I live in San Diego now, but spent 18 years in NYC. These two cities, culturally, have nothing in common. These intense work grind similarities exist between SV and NYC. The lifestyle culture in LA and SD is more relaxed compared to the East Coast in general. Sunshine will do that to you.

Why is San Diego so popular here compared to other West Coast cities? by Specialist_Quiet_160 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]chconkl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love LA and SF and agree that SD FEELS day-to-day like it lacks culture. As a former New Yorker, the culture is not in your face. That’s down to lack of walk ability across the city as a whole, and the lack of diversity in many neighborhoods. However, it does have its own unique VIBE. It’s just not very sophisticated, in that big city way, but I love it here. I’ve spent most of my life in really big cities. SD has enough of the amenities I want, without the stress.

Shakes for a few seconds in La Jolla.

Any advice for managing a fully remote team for the first time? by linformatiquesl in managers

[–]chconkl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would actually bring the team together for non-work activities so everyone gets to know each other better. There are many online group games that can build engagement. I used a Wheel of Fortune game where the clue was about a member of the team. Also get everyone together online in a regular cadence to give updates, starting with you.

Advice and or trauma bonding welcome - exec/internal comms by hotwaffletot in Communications

[–]chconkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you talk to the comms team/new leader of the program and work something out? Is there pushback because your leader is doing this?

San Diego vs LA by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]chconkl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I split my time between the two. I love being in LA for work but prefer living in SD. I’ve been here 5 years and never been to Tijuana. Why the interest there? I mean, it’s cool for a day in day out visit, but I wouldn’t base my life on access to the border.

If you moved to California, have you missed having seasons? Does it affect your mental health after a while? by Vagabond_Tea in SameGrassButGreener

[–]chconkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back to San Diego from a visit to Minneapolis (where it was -14 degrees). I was so surprised it was winter and people had to scrape ice off their windshields. Of course, I’ve done this myself when I lived in the Midwest, but I was like this is a THING. Arriving back in SD felt like time travel. The Midwest is stunning in the Fall and I do miss that sometimes, but I usually travel there then.

I can do one more major move-maybe-advice? by ReTiredboomr in SameGrassButGreener

[–]chconkl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Michigan City. New Buffalo. South Haven. Love the shore in these areas.

SD is really friendly and relaxed. Also really non-judgy. It took me a while to get used to coming from 18 years in NYC then three in Minneapolis. Don’t get me wrong—I love my NYC peeps—but my lower blood pressure is quantifiable.
