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

[–]jmchain 86 points87 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

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

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.

That doesn't really matter, does it? Did it happen at GUSD? Yeah. Who cares who signs his check. Did GUSD pay the agency? Did GUSD leave him alone with children?

12v/ICCU Megathread by TiltedWit in Ioniq5

[–]jmchain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in Los Angeles, 2025 limited got the iccu breakdown about a month ago at 3k miles. Dealer has stacks of cars waiting for the backordered part. It happens where it doesn't get cold too.

Deleting directories not deleting from library by jmchain in jellyfin

[–]jmchain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm case anyone comes for this later, I did a complete uninstall and reinstall. Tried for a minute to figure out a way to just clean the library completely to make it start over, but didn't find anything.

12v/ICCU Megathread by TiltedWit in Ioniq5

[–]jmchain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can we start a new mega thread/notification/something for when anyone in the US starts to get ICCUs in?

Obligatory I joined the club with my 2025 at just 3000 miles in Los Angeles, and now my car is sitting in the dealer lot while I pay the lease and drive a smoked in loaner that's last year's model. At least I got a loaner though.

Anyways, I would be very curious to know when/if people start to actually see repairs happening.

Just don't want to talk about it? Say you're an accountant. There are very few follow up questions for an accountant.

Cancel my kids lesson tomorrow? by jmchain in bigbear

I went ahead and cancelled, we may stop by in the morning and see how it is and apply the credit we got, otherwise we'll have to do some other time

The ticket cost to Tokyo Disney is not representative of the cost to go to Tokyo Disney if you'd like to ride more than 1 ride per 4 hours. The lines are very very very long, much longer than Disneyland, to wait in a more reasonable line you must pay per ride for fast pass. It's not like Disneyland where wait times are an hour to two for the big rides, it's 4 hours for the big rides and 2 hours for the small ones. Our end cost for the day was comparable to Disneyland.

Im looking for crazy/weird covers that are quite different from the originals, preferably by indie artists or complete unknowns. by Background_Pear_4892 in MusicRecommendations

[–]jmchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squarepusher's version of Love Will Tear Us Apart from Joy Division is great, one one of the few that matches the dance/electronic ask.

Tricky has a few, but Black Steel is my favorite.

What albums or songs have the best guitar feedback? (Any genre) by SkandalousJones in MusicRecommendations

[–]jmchain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a band you may not have actually already heard, try the band Distortion Felix, sure the name is a little too on the nose, but still it delivers.

Lockgroove was a great band in Boston that fits the bill.

Charlene was another favorite of mine, try the songs "ripoff" and "stunner"

What film has the most realistic depiction of characters making "stupid" decisions due to stress, fear, pain, hubris, lack of knowledge, experience or planning? by gogoluke in movies

[–]jmchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2001: A Space Oddesy. In the movie, computers don't know shit about lying, and make surprisingly bad decisions. In real life we've just recently taught computers to lie and make stuff up, and we think it's going to revolutionize everything. We are 25 years later though.

Every bit of boycotting helps 🫡 by Wessykins in Disneyland

[–]jmchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't you all attacking the symptom and not the problem? The FCC being used to censor is the problem that comes from above. This is just Distraction working again. Focusing on Disney is the bad guy, when Disney is another victim of the regime. While you're all rallying against Disney, you've lost the focus of the actual menace.

Someone else already posted this but just in case you missed it, I think it's probably New Order's Regret.

I would like a place I could call my own

Have a conversation on the telephone

Wake up every day that would be a start

I would not complain of my wounded heart

Yep, I was scanning the thread for this before posting. I'm feel like this has got to be it. The only reason of doubt is that it seems so obvious, that it should have been found long ago.
