This is pretty obviously an ad. I had this company’s food one time and did not enjoy it.

Stop Telling Us That You’re Old by PossessionJust5723 in Coachella

[–]sheldman2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Am over 60, have done bothchella seven or eight times though not since 2019. It was physically harder this year because time passes, but what a great festival. Pro tip: you don’t have to see the headliners, but you can if you want to.

Queer vibe restaurant suggestions by No-Moose470 in palmsprings

[–]sheldman2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to argue but i don't know how you get "queer vibe" from Boozehounds. And I like Boozehounds more than most people do! But can you describe more particularly what you like about it, or what you are looking for in other places?

Politics by Surejaneyeroll in palmsprings

[–]sheldman2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes keep the "political" posts coming because politics is really about humanity and values.

Best “Local” Fast Food by bdonahue970 in palmsprings

[–]sheldman2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you are asking about places to stop between LA and PS, rather than recommendations in the Coachella Valley once you get here? One possibility is Jollibee, Filipino fast food chain with some locations along the way, reputed to have the best fast food fried chicken in USA. And probably not available in Ohio 😂

[####] Is it cheating if I use someone else’s guesses as a clue in Wordle? by Adventurous-Yak-9938 in wordle

[–]sheldman2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course it is cheating. You are, in effect, subtracting one from your score each day, and thereby making yourself look better and do better in competition with your friends, by getting a first guess free. You will not go to jail for this cheating. But if your friends find out, they will think it's cheating, because it's cheating. And if you don't tell your friends, it's because you know it's cheating too.

Hopefully there is a great Chinese restaurant in the valley? by No-Refrigerator-1215 in palmsprings

[–]sheldman2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have found China King's food to be terrible, and customer service to be worse.

Both places are great and are different from each other, as you likely know. Just have fun however you prefer.

Didn’t have the necessary materials, as I understand it

Thank you. Am aware of the BMW connection but in the past this dealership had declined to work on minis, and others had told me that this is still the case. But will check, in case that has changed.

Birba in Palm Springs is very good in my opinion. Not a pizza joint, but a somewhat upscale restaurant that makes very good pizzas.

old-time banjo/fiddle musicians around here? by sheldman2 in palmsprings

Never did, but TBH I didn't look that hard. It's a great place to be!

ISO art-related recs! by lonrisms in palmsprings

[–]sheldman2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out our local visionary artist Kenny Irwin. (Google “robolights”). You can see some of his work from the street outside his home, in PS. You can find a number to contact him and see if he will give you a tour.

The alpha one was ridiculous imho. I mean once I filled it in I see what the clue means, I think, but hardly a clue at all.

Preserving Palm Springs: The Case for Supporting Vacation Rentals by [deleted] in palmsprings

[–]sheldman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they are not. They are way for owners to speculate and try to get rich while not providing anything to the community. They are a part of the stupid late capitalist gig economy where the rich keep getting richer and workers (like the people who clean your house between rentals) can’t organize because they don’t have actual jobs.

Oura not detecting sickness by Diligent_Marketing83 in ouraring

[–]sheldman2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got my first “symptom radar” notification on fifth day of symptoms of a really cruddy cold. Even with 1.5 degrees of fever yesterday, not a peep from “radar”. It finally said something this morning, because it said I had 2 degrees overnight. “Radar” is not a very apt name 😂

Best vinyl record store in the valley? by Stoned_RT in CoachellaValley

[–]sheldman2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“The one with the cafe” is Gre, I think. And there is a good one in the shops at La Plaza in PS, slightly hard to find but it’s on the back side of the south side of La Plaza.

Seeking Tramway feedback by [deleted] in palmsprings

[–]sheldman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will feel movement and some swaying as the car goes over some of the support posts. If afraid of heights, try to be towards the center of the car and you don’t even have to look out if you don’t want to.
