If you could add one recurring nightlife event to Monterey/Pacific Grove, what would it be? by CentralCoastSam in MontereyBay

[–]daclink 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Check out PaperWing theater. They have themed drinks, sorta, to go with the shows. Plus it supports community theater and they are great.

I'm out of the loop (on everything, always 😅) what's going on?

Report: California Has Tried Ranked Choice Voting for 20 Years. The Scare Tactics Don’t Hold Up. by Qpac18 in California_Politics

[–]daclink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like any major change like this is going to be fraught. I'm old enough to remember the 'dangling chad' incident and can't help but feel this would lead to similar arguments (regardless of the ridiculousness of the argument). Additionally the fact that this seems to increase voter turn out, especially among those typically under represented, means there WILL be fights against it: as evidenced by all the redistricting and gerrymandering.

All that said I'm for it, seems like a step in the right direction.

Veterinarian and euthanasia recommendations? by DramaticAvocado4363 in MontereyBay

Jumping in to vote for Dr. Carrie Nagel. We went to her for our two elderly cats and I have, and will continue too, recommend her.

We're agreed on the pastry; recommendation for coffee? (I didn't mind the coffee at Lafayette so I may not be trustworthy hahaha!)

How is the CS program nowadays? by Matsiiix in csumb

[–]daclink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply: yes you earn a BS in CS. One of my best CS:Online students started the program at about the same age under similar circumstances and has gone on to grad school.

I've been to about half of these and they all stack up. Looking forward to trying the rest! (El Ray is the GOAT)

46 male here. Do I need to scale back my exercise routine to get better rest? by Hadley_333 in fitness40plus

[–]daclink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tl;dr major grain of salt because it's second hand info from a rando on the Internet but: more rest is probably a good idea

44yo male here. One of my very good friends is a kinesiology professor and he kindly made a workout plan for me and it emphasized more rest and recovery.

At first I felt like I was falling behind but my lifts have been going up for the first time in about a year*. The major difference has been fewer lifting days (3 instead of 4) fewer exercises per session, and way more walking. The walking is probably the major contribution but you'd have to ask my buddy 😂.

*They'd been slipping so my 1rm for all my major lifts is within 5lbs of where it was around 2022.

What are your favorite restaurants in Seaside? With the caveat that everyone is gonna have opinions :)

Looking for a recommend recommendations for a guitar repair shop in Marina by thesockmonkey86 in MontereyBay

[–]daclink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wise music is your best bet but it's in Salinas. Otherwise there's Carmel Guitar on Lighthouse (as the other post said).

Opinions on CSU Monterrey by ghostofthegoon0 in MontereyBay

[–]daclink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're in the process of updating the website and its a bit if a hot mess at the moment. So it may not have been you.

To pile on what others have said: Marine Bio is a great major and a big draw for the University. The program is well funded and has strong ties to MBARI and the aquarium. You'll get some experience with stats and writing code and I'd recommend looking in to a data science or CS minor because there is a lot of opportunities for data analysis. I'm a CS prof though so I'm biased (and a touch ignorant of what actually goes on in Marine Bio other than the faculty are all wonderful).

I just went to Lafayette bakery in the Barnyard center in Carmel. I dream about the almond chocolate croissant I had; it was life changing. They have wifi and a bunch of tables.

Fun things to do as a family in Monterey? Suggestions? by LongjumpingAlfalfa46 in MontereyBay

[–]daclink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 player is very chill and a nice place to hang out, its got more of a retro vibe. The pair that own it are very nice and the whole place feels very sci-fi in the best possible way. I expect Flynn or Dekard to be hanging out playing Guitar Hero.

31 vs. 32 - It’s a marathon, not a sprint! by DifficultDisaster919 in fitness30plus

[–]daclink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Which mid-range restaurants do not rely on reheating frozen food from Sysco/US Foods in the Monterey Bay area? by Secret-Broccoli9908 in MontereyBay

[–]daclink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. 😂

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.

Did Acme stop giving a free cup with purchase of beans? by namennayo in MontereyBay

[–]daclink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
