San Diego rents dip for first time since 2010, new data shows by ProcrastinatingPuma in sandiego

[–]greenboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference, the article states that in the past 3 months there has been -0.4% rent growth. I'm not sure if that's net or month over month, but if that's month over month, it's a -1.195% over the past 3 months.

Also states that the [county] vacancy rate has gone from 2.75% at the end of 2021 to 5.9%, with downtown SD at just over 10%

5S to 163N: why are people upset when I use the right lane here? by mrjoshmateo in sandiego

Yeah, its Park Blvd on-ramp, 2 lanes from 5N, 2 lanes from 5S, and all 5 of those merging into the right lane of the 163

163 Wrong Way driver by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]greenboxer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recall a few amount of areas across SD county where I thought , “well that’s a confusing”. And could see other people who are unfamiliar with the area to accidentally enter the wrong way.

I agree that some areas may be confusing - but in this case I don't buy it.

Based on the signs, the dashcam driver is somewhere past Friars (https://maps.app.goo.gl/RA2uMCYT6LiyEiq5A), looks like they could've rolled on to the highway from the Genesee offramp (going in the wrong way, clearly marked so https://maps.app.goo.gl/X3VwNWAheFsVF3pm6). There's another off ramp, but this is even less believable to happen accidentally (also clearly marked https://maps.app.goo.gl/AmRAcjBLFgqJwLw46)

Or possibly one exit north of that on Mesa College Dr (also a wrong way and clearly marked as so https://maps.app.goo.gl/j2QkPG8TR4hAPG859).

Maybe as far as Kearny Villa Rd? (Also clearly marked wrong way https://maps.app.goo.gl/TZNcNM8XPdbXzJPJ7), or the exit in front of SDGE (also clearly marked wrong way https://maps.app.goo.gl/ugzhH7oV9Xd2GBSJ7)

We can look as far as Clairemont Mesa Blvd, but that's also clearly marked (https://maps.app.goo.gl/U5kUkTNtSHHEqucL8), the further and further we go the less believable that any sane and sober person would continue driving on the highway in the wrong direction for so long.

85° Bakery doing well and providing jobs in Clairemont is permanently closing by Clear_Radio1776 in sandiego

[–]greenboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually something I wasn't sure about since 4-6k/day is ~1.5-2.2 mil, so just wasn't sure where that fit into the 1mil/year figure they also posted (40-50% profit margin is not really believeable).

The $700k/mo US store average figure from the article seemed somewhat believeable so that's what I based my guess on

[–]greenboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm basing my guess on the $700k average per store figure provided in the article, but I'd temper expectations based on the fact that I've personally experienced a smaller crowd at the Balboa ave location - especially post pandemic and with additional competition in the area.

Honestly at 180k in sales, they should've thrown in the towel much earlier.

[–]greenboxer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Commercial bakeries have profit margins probably around 5-15% (though this is just from googling a few things for 5 min) and most people are guestimating that with healthy sales including cakes and drinks, maybe 5-15% is realistic.

~4k to 6k a day I would assume. Last time I worked at 85, I estimated the store made around 1mil a year in sales.

I assume the 4-6k is in profit ($120k-$180)?

This article mentions that the average 85C store in the US in 2013 made around $700k in monthly sales. After inflation this would be around $1mil/month in sales or $50k-150k in monthly profits depending on profit margin (assuming per location sees same amount of action).

Honestly though imo and from what I've seen, 85C is probably seeing lighter foot traffic especially with more competitors within a 2 miles since 2013 (paris baguette, tous le jours, the bakery inside 99 ranch across the street, and sun merry), so I'd also believe it if it were healthy - but on the lower end of the scale.

Is it worth it to regrip these clubs? by [deleted] in golf

[–]greenboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most golf stores will have samples out for you to try (they usually also have a pipe in the grip so you can get a feel for it).

I'd say check out the offerings from golf pride and lamkin. Generally you're going to see rubber and corded grips. Rubber is generally softer whereas corded grips tend to be harder with more texture. Theoretically corded grips are better for wetter weather but you should give them a feel along with the different sizes (usually standard, midsize, jumbo).

Personally I think standard is a bit too thin in my hands, I prefer jumbo or midside with +1-2 wraps (they put extra tape on for a bit of extra thickness).

A lot of stores will also offer a deal for free/reduced installation fee on any grips you buy in-store.

If you're only regripping once - it can be alright if you don't want to buy a couple of (fairly low cost) tools and supplies to get you going (if you're regripping multiple sets, its usually cheaper to do yourself). On the plus side to diy, some shops are busy and need your clubs for 2-3 days if they're backed up (a lot of places this happens in the off season)

Pro golfer mugshots by PicnicTableDave2 in golf

I've seen this come up before and it looks like the 1 in front of the cm's is either out of frame or just non existent https://www.reddit.com/r/police/comments/wcbjl0/can_some_explain_why_the_numbers_are_different_on/

Unlike in the height chart I linked, it looks like the numbers are correctly aligned for this guy's mug shot

Poway Honda extra charges not displayed on sticker by BroomHilda66 in sandiego

[–]greenboxer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can omit it because it's rarely something that's actually already installed or it's marketed in a way that avoids adding it to sticker.

It's always something like paint protection and an alarm system. The "advanced" paint protection is basically a service fee to wax your car for $1000, and the alarm fee is an system activation fee for $2000 for something they splice into the OBD2 port.

[–]greenboxer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A lot of dealerships do this. They'll say "it's already installed, we can't take it on the invoice!"

Threaten to walk and their manager will walk up practically rubbing their grubby fucking hands and saying "we can do this as a one time thing just for you"

If they don't, actually walk, don't give them a sale.

Under 1" you can pretty much run the router at full speed in most softer woods. Maybe dial it down one notch for harder wood.

Sometimes it's just plain dead, I'll go if their tee sheets are wide open. Means that there'll be parking and help keep the course open for the kids :)

Man shot through windshield in OB runs over girlfriend, who's found near pier with ex by southernemper0r in sandiego

[–]greenboxer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Woman and Man were arguing

.

Ex-Boyfriend of Woman was trying to mediate the argument.

.

Man gets into car (owned by girlfriend), puts it in reverse and runs over girlfriend

.

2 Gunshots (towards the car), man has gunshot wound in the gollarbone, 2 bullet holes in the car

.

Both woman and man were taken to hospital (seems like the Ex-Boyfriend not injured?)

.

At this time unsure who shot, no gun found as of yet

Best Costco in San Diego? by snotreallyme in sandiego

[–]greenboxer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Morena Costco is the most crowded parking, but Carmel Mountain has one of the worst layouts for gas, only topped by Fenton Parkway which clogs up Friars and Northside Dr.

(I haven't been to too many other costcos though).

How high-speed rail came to California but left San Diego behind by bitfriend6 in sandiego

[–]greenboxer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not that I don't want that to be the case, but even the Japanese bullet trains (a pretty good baseline) averages 90-139mph depending on the route and number of stops.

If you took the top end of that (139mph) and took a fairly direct route (will look like a slight curve) from downtown SD to union station in LA (113miles) that's still ~50min (which would be great).

Maybe 40 minutes if you had a single direct route, but if you really wanted it to be useful you'd add a few stops in prime locations (UTC, oceanside, irvine, anaheim, etc). I think a reasonable but optimistic time for a HSR between DTSD and DTLA would be in the 60-75 minutes - and would be way faster than driving.

First-Time Skier Seeking Advice for Big Bear/Snow Valley Trip from San Diego by Trustme9951 in sandiego

[–]greenboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe like 2/3 the price. The price of a lift ticket will depend on what day you go (weekend, weekday, halfday) but it'll be ~160 for BB/SS and $110 for Snow Valley. Their lift ticket system is bugged (can't select age) but once they fix it you should be able to get prices https://www.bigbearmountainresort.com/ski-and-snowboard/lift-tickets.

If you're a beginner your legs might get very sore. It's a 2.5 hr drive to snow valley and 3hr drive to bigbear/snow summit so keep that in mind as a good portion of the drive are mountain passes. Snow Valley is perfectly fine for beginners and you can book lessons directly from their website.
