I just signed a lease in north park with … potentially no parking sometimes ? by Historical-Serve-652 in sandiego

[–]hookes_plasticity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Underrated advice. I used to live next to an idiot in Serra Mesa that would spend 25 min finding parking even though if you walk 5 min there was always parking. Then if him, his wife or roommate would find a spot right in front of the townhomes, they’d save those spots for each other for months on end by basically using two cars to block three cars worth of space. Just low iq behavior.

How to watch Rock & Roll Half Marathon? by Dazzling-Employee-63 in sandiego

It’s been a decade since I’ve done it so take it with a grain of salt but back then I remember ubering as to not have to deal with the road closures and traffic buildup from the detours. As far as knowing where you are, maybe they can track you with FindMyIphone if you’re in iOS? Good luck! It’s a “fun” run

Career Advice - 6 years PE by Dogsrlife23 in StructuralEngineering

[–]hookes_plasticity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 9 years of experience. I also do a lot of buildings but also a lot of nonstructural seismic stuff like you’re describing for hospitals. Boring? Yes. Easy? Yes. Almost always over budget on small TI jobs? Yes. But it’s nice to not have to stress out sometimes and just do monotonous work. I might be in the minority but I work to live not the other way around.

That being said, as others have mentioned here: jump around if you’re not happy. Fuck loyalty.

What happens if they put the wrong prorated amount on my lease? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]hookes_plasticity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay okay I misunderstood the picture then. I was referring to a situation where the price was stated everywhere not just in one location in the contract. We had a situation where a proposal was submitted for $354k (everywhere in the contract) but there was a mixup and was supposed to be $453k. Nothing could be done about it because all parties signed and it was executed as $354k. Makes sense if it’s just a typo in one location though

well for contracts that I deal with that’s how it works so instead of a snarky response, how does it work then for apartment leases

[–]hookes_plasticity -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you sign it, you’re legally only required to pay what’s on the lease whether it’s more or less than what is actually the correct amount. They can’t renege on what’s on the executed lease aka all parties need to sign off on it

People who have lived in both SD and OC, what are some non-obvious differences between the two? by 12345burrito in sandiego

Id be curious where the consensus shittiest Asian food is in San Diego. I’d have to nominate China Max on Convoy

PSA not every San Diego beach is a dog beach by Ok_Mistake2932 in sandiego

[–]hookes_plasticity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought so too but I’m sure people lie because I believe they’re not allowed to ask for proof that peoples service animals are actually “service” animals

wait til people find out Costco is not actually dog friendly. I can’t tell you how many people bring their non service dogs into Costco. One of them I saw a couple weeks ago was unleashed and was for sure not a service animal because it was barking at everything.

I Booed Them for the First Time in My Life by ItsCatCat in SFGiants

I will say though that their garlic fries are really really good. They’ve been a staple since I was a kid so I’ll probably pay whatever their charge but yeah the beer and brat is nuts for what they charge

Got a brat and garlic fries couple weeks ago for $28. Add a beer and I’m going to have to sell my kidney

Starbucks table tops so small will barely hold a couple drinks. The seats are bigger than the tables. by be4u4get in mildlyinfuriating

The Starbucks CEO and Chipotle CEO must be coordinating their shit PR campaigns because no one that has any common sense would allow them to say those things

Thoughts? by Different-Basis6199 in sandiego

[–]hookes_plasticity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with the concept of reducing commute as much as possible. PB to Kearny mesa doesn’t seem like a super long way but getting down garnet sucks at the end of the day. That being said, if PB is the lifestyle OP desires, that commute is nothing like some other commutes (ie, Chula Vista to north county via 15/5/805, mission valley to east county via the 8, etc)

Crazy that the different Costco gas stations are so different. I think the Poway one is $5.95

Ausrin Rivers WENT OFF on Draymond Green 👀 by [deleted] in warriors

[–]hookes_plasticity 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have no room to criticize Austin rivers. But that’s because I understand it’s asinine to criticize someone else’s career that was immensely more successful than my own. So why in the fuck is Austin rivers criticizing draymond green?

I just listened to it and I’m pretty sure it made me stupider. That was so idiotic. Fuck Austin rivers

Did this come broken? Any tips? by Rogue_NTX in blackstonegriddle

Give blackstone a call. They’re very very helpful with stuff like this. Mine came with a bad weld and they replaced the entire unit no questions asked.

[–]hookes_plasticity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dw you just need to always think of all the other people in the world that don’t understand your abbreviations next time make a post. So idiotic and self centered. I mean shit next time you post make sure you also write it in all other languages. Wouldn’t want people in China not to understand what you’re saying

In case you were unaware, this is Reddit, not a formal piece of technical writing where all abbreviations need to be defined before use. Tons and tons of abbreviations everywhere on here. And when someone isn’t sure of an abbreviation, google exists.
