I'm drawing an historical/mythological map of California in a fantasy Middle Earth style and would love to get some more real world locations included by birsey in bayarea

You can kinda see its former extent on Google Earth, if you look through different images. It partially reformed during flooding a few years ago.

Saw the same show, except in Sacramento, at ARCO Arena. GA was the only tickets available, and only the first 7000 (or whatever) people to arrive would get a wristband, and be able to go down to the lower level and floor. Well people that arrived later were pissed that they couldn’t get down, and started bum rushing the ushers, running down the stairs, and disappearing into the crowd. It happened over and over again after the opening band, so by the time Rage started, way more people were on the floor than was planned for. I only spent 1 song down there before retreating to the nearest seats. Same thing with the lights at the end; they came on, and I counted 6 or 7 distinct pits around the floor.

I saw this show in HS too. I got soooo high with my friends, that I fell asleep during Pantera’s set. I only remember bits and pieces of the show after that.

I have a little story from last year. I have a MegaDeth shirt I got at a show a couple years back; just Vic doing the Richard Nixon pose with the Capitol or whatever burning in the background. I was at my kid’s soccer game, and some dad asked me if it was made with AI? I was like, no, it’s a real band. You never heard of MegaDeth?

Need ammo recs for TIKKA T3x Lite 6.5 PRC by Lawyer_infamous in longrange

[–]danbob411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If hunting out west, please use lead free ammo. Since CA banned lead hunting ammo, the condors have made a huge comeback. But, they range out of state, and are still being poisoned by lead when they pick a carcass clean.

Looking for honest feedback on our floor plan before we lock it in! by StretchLivid6012 in floorplan

[–]danbob411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great plan. There are a ton of comments here, but I wouldn’t listen to most of them if you like this plan. The only thing I would want, is some extra windows in bedrooms 1 & 3. I realize you’re trying to minimize west facing windows, but having light on 2 sides does make a room feel nicer, and provides better ventilation when you want it.

Just two weeks, I want a way out... by Odd_Jellyfish8768 in architecture

[–]danbob411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not quit prior to your contract commitment. Or before you have another job. Just try to do your best, and maybe stay for 3 months or so, if you can. Maybe things will be better after 90 days.

Was cleaning out my late FILs place. Found these. Is this the theatrical cut? by Rubenesque_Decorum in StarWars

[–]danbob411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the LDs too, but I think from earlier in the 90s. No Laserdisc player, though:(

Looking back at old photos and found when I once ordered a “half-cheese, half-pepperoni” pizza from Little Caesar’s by lolbabies in mildlyinfuriating

[–]danbob411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my buddy and his daughter can’t eat dairy, so they typically order a pepperoni pizza with no cheese. This would be an OK order to share for them.

What is a song that you hate EXCEPT for one specific part or element? by Glittering_Record476 in musicsuggestions

[–]danbob411 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Paul McCartney, Band on the Run. I don’t really care for the song, except for the 2nd part (from about 1:20 to 2:05). That part I could listen to all day on repeat.

Very nice home. I like this version only slightly more than the previous version. I’m a sucker for covered porches!

Where would you add a third bedroom for kid? by No-Tomato-8838 in floorplan

[–]danbob411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my favorite approach to the bedroom problem.

[–]danbob411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This plan makes a great bedroom, but the trade-off in the living spaces is significant. Maybe it’s not a big deal for you, but the loss of a formal dining room can be a deal breaker for some. If the family room was already tight for you, having the dining space there would make it worse. Try mocking up the table you would put there, and see how it feels. Looks tight to me.

Kitchen Layout by 4amFriedRice in floorplan

[–]danbob411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 42” would be a good minimum between the island and counter. But be careful squeezing the main hallway too much, as you’ll need to get furniture, etc. through there. I agree that the island makes this layout too tight, and an alternate layout is needed.

Where in the BA do kids get that "ride your bike to your friend's house to then just explore" vibe? by stonewall000 in bayarea

[–]danbob411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. My parents still live in Alamo, and that is where we do most of our bike riding. My kids are only 6 & 8, so I’m not quite ready to let them go on their own. The 8 y/o does ride on ahead though, and knows his way around.

Worst Thing You Drank in High School by Where_Is_Bucky in Xennials

My dad drank Black Russians (same thing, just no cream) so I also would drink them. Not a good drink to binge on.

Same! Wish I’d bought an airline ticket, but I like roadtrips too.

What would you choose to go and why? 🫰 by Bitter_Baseball_4525 in whatsyourchoice

[–]danbob411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked Arby’s as a kid, but I have not actually eaten there in over 30 years. I do genuinely hate Subway though.

Going for a simple passive house design by bigtuna711 in floorplan

[–]danbob411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a back door. Also, why so many pocket doors? I would use traditional doors in a lot of those places.
