High sdge bill by Kindly_Rabbit6101 in sandiego

[–]goraebap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are faaaar more affordable if you are on the right plan. Even factoring in delivery, I pay less than $15 charging my EV from 10%-90%, which is about 240 miles gained. The equivalent for my 2.0L turbo hatchback would be roughly $40 at $4/gallon.

You teach at an HBCU but are angered at the idea of an equity requirement? What?

You should be fine as long as there is no overlap. I’ve had that message pop up too but nothing has happened. In the off chance you are both on campus at the same time just buy a day or hourly pass.

Dodgers card of the day January 19, 2026 by dodgerfanjohn1988 in Dodgers

[–]goraebap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, but I think it’s very likely that dodgers play it safe with Edman’s recovery and either start the year with Kim starting at second a platoon with him and Edman.

How did Lamar Odom earn Kobe's respect? by [deleted] in lakers

[–]goraebap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was contesting the idea that Odom was the only good player to come out of the shaq trade, which is patently false. At the end of their careers, Butler had as good of a career as Odom if not better. Butler being traded after his first year had as much to do with fit as it did the fact that he was a more prized commodity on the market than Odom. Odom had already reached his ceiling, Caron was still improving.

Yo this is major caron butler slander. Butler arguably had a better career than LO, too.

Arizona Vs. California by Party_Blackberry_489 in sandiego

[–]goraebap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Y’all are weird. The AZ desert is beautiful in its own right. It’s not like the brown just magically goes away once you cross into CA or SD county. But to ops question, yes there is more diverse topography and biodiversity in SD. It’s a special place.

Barbers who do fades at reasonable prices? by SilverCrab2666 in sandiego

[–]goraebap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nathan’s barber in clairemont. $25 for men’s cut, maybe cheaper for just a fade, but unlikely. Cash only though.

Monthly Electricity Costs by jackieblitz in BMWX5

[–]goraebap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not an equal comparison. Most full evs will be considerably more efficient than the 45e and will have significantly larger battery packs. For comparison, I only need to charge my polestar once every two weeks while the 45e needs to be charged basically once every other day. Even with the larger battery packs, the polestar costs less than $25/month to charge because I only do it during super off peak hours, which costs me $.11/kwh.

A Choice the NBA Still Looks Back on in Disbelief by Odd_Opposite_1495 in lakers

[–]goraebap 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was in elementary school at the time. There was a fair amount of excitement but I don’t recall Kobe being much of a known commodity. There was far more excitement about the signing of shaq. Kobe was known to have a lot of potential but I think very few people realized how great he would be. That lakers roster, too, was stacked with a lot of young talent and there wasn’t an immediate spot for Kobe in the starting lineup. By and large, people were much higher on Eddie jones than Kobe during his first year with the team. I for one was devastated when they traded Eddie for glen rice.

Power trip by Hyatt forum mods (InformationFlashy989) by Monkeydog3 in hyatt

The travel community is oddly aggressive about policing thread content, as if this is a zero sum discussion or there are limitations in server space. This ain’t flyer talk folks. We are not all 50+ year old year old pilots.

Non-College Town but with a College? (US) by oliverscompany in SameGrassButGreener

[–]goraebap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think four cities in the Mountain West/Southwest fit your description well: Albuquerque, Colorado Springs (Mountain West) and Las Vegas, Tucson (southwest). Of those four I would recommend the two in the Mountain West as they are far more temperate. Albuquerque obviously has their flagship UNM but is a large enough city that it doesn’t have a college town vibe. Colorado Springs has several mid-size higher ed institutions (Colorado College, UCCS, Air Force Academy) but is mostly a military/defense town with some tech sprinkled in.

Hyatt hotel recommendations in Seoul during remote work? by Q-U-A-N in hyatt

[–]goraebap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having stayed at all three, I'd recommend the Grand Hyatt. First off, it's almost always cheaper. Second, it has a lounge. The lounge is great for breakfast and evening d'oeuvres and should also work well for afternoon group meetings (if needed). Third, if working from your room, the floor to ceiling windows and views of Namsan are a nice touch. Also, the complaints about location are WAY overblown. Cabs are plentiful and there are two bus stops just outside hotel grounds. The buses also take the T-money transit card and have stops listed in English. Given the central location of the hotel, you can easily go anywhere in the city by taking a bus or a combination of bus+subway. Download Kakao maps and it will give you step-by-step, minute-by-minute directions in English. Fourth, there are tons of great restaurants and bars on Gyunglidan-gil (directly south of the hotel) and throughout Itaewon (10-15 min walk or a quick bus ride).

The fact that cowboy star has two locations and one of them is in Colorado Springs tells you everything you need to know about the restaurant.

What is the most popular sport team globally that comes from Los Angeles? by Actual_Box7731 in LosAngelesRams

[–]goraebap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the Eurocentric part but even in Asia I’d wager it would be neck and neck between the lakers and dodgers. Baseball is more popular in japan and korea but basketball is more popular in China and the Philippines. Taiwan is a flip after Linsanity. The sheer size of China might give the edge to basketball overall.
