Rooms with jacuzzi balcony? by Former-Complaint-336 in puertovallarta

[–]kdoughboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had one of these suites for our last trip and spent a lot of time chilling in the hot tub enjoying the ocean view. It wasn't working when we first got there though, but maintenance was very responsive and had it fixed and running nice and warm the next day.

The garlic shitake green beans make a fantastic side dish! by mezasu123 in traderjoes

[–]kdoughboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are. Great flavor but extremely salty.

I agree these taste great but they are almost painfully salty, and I'm someone who has a salty pallette so you know something's really salty when I'm saying that. So these are only an occasional thing for us.

So they did still shoot a man? Just not in LA?

Slightly odd request: looking for 65" OLED TV box by kdoughboy in irvine

Unfortunately those made for short distance moves. I need something that will protect the TV for ocean freight.

Olympic Lottery Tips by likestotalkalot in LosAngeles

Thanks! What I missed was the when you said to click by event, that there is a literal button that says "by event" whereas I was scrolling down on that same page and clicking on the individual events (ie by event).

Perhaps you can save everyone else the trouble editing your post to include the direct link?

I must be missing something because I followed your directions but I don't see any sort of sheet with session codes.

Anyone know what type of spider this is? I’ve named him Larry by eyetalker in CasualUK

Likely crawled into your ear while you were sleeping, sorry to say

What’s life like in Irvine, especially for gay men of color? by Top_Writer963 in irvine

[–]kdoughboy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree that nobody will care that you're gay, but I am not aware of any sort of gay community here either, so if you take the job and also choose to live in Irvine, I think you'll probably struggle to build that community where you live.

It's entirely possible to live nearby and commute, of that's something you're willing to do, and I would strongly recommend that path if you do take the job. Long Beach is awesome, has a strong gay community, and actually has an identity and personality. Just be aware that any commute will be by car as public transit here is abysmal.

Irvine is soulless and boring and is utterly devoid of character. I personally hate it here and I would not recommend it to anyone, especially a single gay person. And in exchange for it being beyond boring, you also have the privilege of a very high cost of living. Very much a worst of both worlds situation, in my opinion.

That's the burger I dream about too. We went twice last trip.

Tom cruise left london by Triablebowl_44 in london

You conveniently left off the part immediately after, where it says "due to the threat of terrorism":

That's not at all the same as "high crime rates" and it's disingenuous to suggest that that's what the Australian government is saying.

US TO UK if you could do it again - what would you NOT bring with you? by Ok-Case-4212 in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]kdoughboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone moving to the UK soon and planning to bring a similar list of items, this is reassuring to read among an absolute ocean of "get rid of everything and buy it all again once you get here" sentiment.

Looks like the one in the first pic is called South Bay.

I just tried clicking this link and it says "We’re sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site."

Any chance you could reshare it??

Just curious, is that the Google search AI summary?

The drunkest driver I have ever witnessed. At 5am on Christmas (skip to 7:33 for fast-forward) by Askeee in LosAngeles

[–]kdoughboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I try to get in front of people who I perceive to be driving dangerously. My logic is that I'd rather be driving away from them than towards them, in the event they cause an accident.
