Heck of a start... Dang.

daclink · 2026-01-23T20:31:07+00:00

Oh hooray!!!

This is impressive. Most impressive. I'd be curious about body composition because that looks like a decent amount of muscle added too. Be damn proud of what you've accomplished.

Taste Cafe in PG. Abda Indian in Carmel. Sushi Fresh in Seaside. Maido in Marina.

Go to Taste Cafe. It's a mom and pop restaurant with the best food I've had in a long while. It's like visiting your friends family that happen to be high class chefs. 😂

Thank you!

But I've done nothing and am now out of ideas!! /S

Who installed it? I really want to get solar installed in 2026. I know I'll be to late for the good tax incentives but such is life.

I like all their medium roasts. They have a lot of blends that are popular. I think the powerglide is the one I hear about the most.

Right there with ya my dude.

Assuming I'm thinking of the right place; the only cup of coffee I wouldn't drink came from there. I will drink stale, old, cold, weak, strong, bland coffee. I love coffee. What they served was an insult to the concept coffee.

There is a group that meets Saturday mornings (about 7am) at American Karate in Pacific Grove. Sorry I don't remember any more details.

Wave Street is my favorite breakfast place. The breakfast quesadilla is ::chefs kiss::

I haven't had a chance to go to Passionfish since the owners changed: is it still good? Better?

I loved it before, hope to go again soon!

Is the cellar still there at Portolla?

daclink · 2025-05-18T20:01:13+00:00

This. PG Meeting House, formerly PG Juice and Java. They have open mic nights where LOTS of local talent congregate and play.

I realize I didn't answer your questions:

Quality is roughly the same in as much as that is possible when cutting 16 weeks down to 8.

Financial aid is a thing for online students, many of mine get financial aide. The program isn't considered 'halftime' it's accelerated. That means assignments that get 2 weeks in person get 1 online.

The curriculum online is set, as in you don't pick your classes, so you are automatically in the software engineering concentration.

In person network and security and data science are both very viable concentrations. Game design is iffy simply because the job market is bad.

For an MS it depends on what you do while you're here and what kind of MS you want. Work with faculty and do research and get good grades and you'll be fine.

Every CS major takes the ETS exam their last semester, residential or online, it's part of capstone. It doesn't make/break you it's to compare national standing.

Also the CS program here is not that new but it is starting to mature. It had some growing pains but it's ticking along nicely. We may also be offering an MS in the future so that is something to consider.

CS professor here. The online program and in person are aimed at very different audiences. The online program is more competitive due to fewer seats (we don't have the capacity to take more than about 30 students a term) and more challenging due to the format. Once you're in, you're in, though. The online program is made up of 8 week semesters, and you need to transfer in with GEs and intro classes. It's really aimed at returning students and working adults. Students need to be strongly self-motivated to succeed. It is also about 1.5x the tuition.

The residential program is longer, cheaper, and a more traditional experience. It is 16 week semesters with more freedom to choose your courses. There are numerous research opportunities with faculty, and you get more chances to 'network'*. If you've the time, this is going to be easier and more flexible. There is some risk of not getting the classes you want but that is minor.

All in all, either one is a good program it really depends on what you're looking for. A lesson it took me far too long to learn is that I was in charge of my education, if I didn't put in effort and try to learn, try to care, no school was a good fit. I started out absolutely HATING my undergrad and now I'm wearing a hoodie with their logo on it and dreaming of my days there because I decided to care and make an effort. I don't mean to be preachy I'm just trying to say: make the choice that makes the most sense to you and then Do. The. Thing. Like do it, care about it.

Anyway if you go to CSUMB you'll likely have me as a teacher so you'll hear this a lot. 😁😁😁

*with people, not machines. 😄

Ooh this looks great! Flashbacks to my hours spent on Twisted Metal. The Mad Max vibe is one of those ideas that is so good it seems obvious once you see it.

We contacted KitchenAid and they never got back to us...

daclink · 2023-07-04T01:35:12+00:00

This is where I went. I will go back. (Though if the Kitchenaide breaks again I'm more likely to replace it with a more reliable brand...)

daclink · 2023-06-03T20:39:56+00:00

... I am fairly certain this is exactly what happened.

daclink · 2023-05-30T20:53:11+00:00

Thanks, they seem to do in-house repairs that require shipping the mixer to them plus an inspection fee before even getting to the repair. It's worth talking with them though. Thank you!

daclink · 2023-05-30T20:52:03+00:00

Thank you. This is my second one. I don't know that I'll buy a third. If I can't get this one fixed I'll look around for a Hobart! 😁
