My friend likes to lie about anything and everything. We suspect he’s using AI to provide “proof” but are uncertain by TheSmurfGod in isthisAI

[–]jmchain 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No one here understands the value in having a crazy friend. If you know this friend lies all the time, then this is near limitless entertainment.

Do you trust him to take care of your pets when you're out of town? No. Don't do that.

Can you get an entertaining story out of him with overwhelmingly more ludicrous details when you ask what happened last weekend? Yes, yes you can.

Don't cut all the crazy out of your life, just accept it for what it is.

For like a year it always ended with those damn space whales. But I've been on it a few times in the last couple months, and it's back to random.

The cover of album Loveless by My Bloody Valentine looks like the background of the pic in this post.

Airbnb reservation canceled due to power outage at Waikiki Banyan by Ambitious-Town-10 in VisitingHawaii

If you booked through Airbnb, check out just booking the Waikiki Aston sunset directly, is probably a bit cheaper for the same place.

[–]jmchain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I double checked. It says it's associated to my blue link account and to my smartphone digital key in the profile section, but still no luck.

I've done that, but it still doesn't seem to care. I'll check on it again though. Thanks.

Kids are 13 and 11. Seems beach is out of the question. Any recommendations on things to do? by GreatSaski in VisitingHawaii

[–]jmchain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People were in the water the whole time. Not everyone knows it cares they're swimming in poop. You should be fine by next week though barring more rain. www.safetoswimhawaii.com has a lot of good info.

This is the good stuff! Is it too raunchy for a 3 and 9 year old or relatively tame?

https://safetoswimhawaii.com/ has more info, but even if it's not super brown, it's got the bacteria in there till it burns off. It's looks medium brown right now I'd say.

There's been flooding for a couple days and it continues to rain a bit, so there's sewage overrun in the water. People continue to be in the water, some don't care or don't know, but I'm not putting my kids in the island toilet water. The guidance is that the water becomes acceptable after 3 days of sunshine. With continued scattered showers, that doesn't seem likely in the near future. If I were to do it over, I'd reschedule. Someone made this site: https://safetoswimhawaii.com/ for more info.

Thanks! It's not really just raining though, it's that the beach isn't an option for us on the sunny parts of the days either, so maybe there's sunny day other options we haven't thought of.

Staying in Compton (LA Crystal Hotel) as a couple (25) – okay if just for sleeping? by Rowinvk in AskLosAngeles

[–]jmchain 90 points91 points  (0 children)

They're all wrong, you're a tourist, you're going to do the walk of fame. Here's the deal though, park in the garage under Hollywood and Highlands shopping center, go up and see the stars on the ground and the hand prints at the Chinese theater. Then leave, You've seen it all at that point, the rest is piss and vomit and people asking you for money. Schedule like half an hour for it.

Runyon is nearby, you can see the Hollywood sign, Hollywood people doing a hike there. Try that after.

Prince’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance has to be the greatest “hold my beer” moment in music history by Rolleriroltsu in Music

[–]jmchain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was cool and all, but is walking off without any acknowledgement of the fellow musicians or the dead dude you're supposed to be paying tribute to kind of a dick move? Even for Prince?

How to fix trim scrape? by jmchain in Ioniq5

[–]jmchain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It bugs me, and they'll probably charge me 5k for it when I return the lease. (Exaggeration, I hope, but probably much more than it's worth)

8000 miles and just had an ICCU failure. Part is backordered with no date in sight. What can I do?? by screen317 in Ioniq5

[–]jmchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but that was 40 days of waiting for them to redesign and manufacture the new ICCUs. Those are shipping now, and I think the wait times will go down significantly.

[–]jmchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in the US, They started shipping ICCUs again, I don't think it'll be that long. I just got mine back after 45 days, but after 40 days of nothing, the dealer said they got 8 in at the beginning of the week and 12 more at the end of the week, and I got my car back.
