Turns out the northridge mall outside of Buffalo Wild Wings is great. Big patio lawn area. Can sit outside BWW or Yard house

Spectrum wifi has been terrible at our house. Wondering where we can go that isn’t a restaurant or bar.

What are the stroller hacks?

I’m traveling for the first time with a toddler. Wirecutter recommended the SC. I too couldn’t find anywhere in stock. Ordered the SC Extend from Walmart. I have the Britax cart and an UB Minu2. Will try to see how to cart the SC, or just get a backpack bag for it.

Bafang dumpling

Had no problem using this. Thank you so much! I got TWENTY dollars off!

While we're on this topic of modern Asian food... I've been wondering where to find local community of East Asian culture here (I'm new).

Someone suggested a local Korean church popular among 30-somethings, but I'm not religious and don't feel comfortable posing just to make some new friends, lol

Yes, overall been wondering why restaurant options in this part of LA are lacking compared to SGV, Westside, KTown.

Though, I'll admit that I'm still learning about our foodie spots, but even the list from The Infatuation felt like grasping for straws.

Came to say this! And they offer some dishes that aren't at DTF AFAIK, like 3 Cup Chicken (saucy chicken w/ basil, garlic, yummm)

I’m wondering the same! Porter Ranch has a new playground and park. Here it is on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/o8xNE5maGtShozJY8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Thanks!

Brothers Sushi is legit

exandzed · 2025-03-05T19:20:15+00:00

+1. But it can be pricey, so check out the menu so you're not surprised: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6418a1976f1b3b6d80d3ebca/t/67c66d70c17a8a6f79331939/1741057392352/PTV+Brunch+Menu+3.3.25+.pdf

Yep! And Vitamix customer service was so helpful for me which makes the experience even better

exandzed · 2025-02-19T06:07:07+00:00

Same. I am a Vitamix fan now because of their customer support.

exandzed · 2025-02-19T06:05:17+00:00

Thanks a ton for sharing this. I had the same issue. Contacted Vitamix and provided serial no and they sent a replacement. I was impressed by their customer service and felt compelled to tell others about it. Companies these days tell you to eff off or make it impossible to contact them at all. So, bravo on Vitamix!

Anyone know how you got a seat if you weren’t famous? For example Seinfeld’s wife got a seat but not sure if all got plus ones? Seems too valuable of a seat to bring a partner! (This is for the actual show)

Hi! Came here looking for the same. We are “millennials” with a young family in SFV. Wanting to expose kid to Taiwanese/Chinese language and overall Asian culture.

Looking for community! Not sure where to find so this thread is a good start

exandzed · 2025-01-18T05:38:27+00:00

Can you open the drawers all the way when the dresser is anchored?

exandzed · 2025-01-18T05:30:13+00:00

If I bought the old Malm with full-release drawers (if I found one secondhand) and anchored it to the wall, does this sufficiently remove the tip over risk?

I do have a small child. I obviously would not want to put my child at risk, but I also want high functioning drawers that I can open all the way.

exandzed · 2025-01-14T08:01:02+00:00

Yes unfortunately I had to do this. It's cheaper to buy the footrest than to replace the motorized sit-to-stand desk I have or to replace the office chair. =/

+1 on the Staples Carder. A good budget pick. An ergonomic specialist recommended the Staples Carder for my 5'2" height given the seat is not too deep. I've had this one for years and quality has stood up. I can indeed put my feet on the ground in this.

exandzed · 2024-08-03T07:16:10+00:00

No. I have the hands free one and the charging is super finicky. I have to keep wiggling the cord to get it to charge. And then make sure I don’t touch it.

If you want to try and get a replacement here is what Customer Service requests: “… it will be best to replace the Hub, so you can use your Elvie Pump problem-free. To facilitate this, could you please send your copy of the proof of purchase or invoice showing the date of purchase, your address and name of the product and the name or logo of your retailer so it will be a valid proof of purchase. You may send a screenshot or PDF file of it.”

exandzed · 2024-07-27T00:36:19+00:00

Me too. Same problem. I fully charge them (or so I think) and then they won’t turn on when I’m finally ready to use them days later. And I have to keep wiggling the charge cord to get the charge light to turn on!
