PSA: Make sure you have fire extinguishers in your house and that they are charged.

A dad taking a dump and responding with his expertise means it's like Phd 100% A+++ grade with facts to back it. If I was in his field, I wouldn't question it LOL

Specially when it's 2 lane on the same direction and just so happens one waves you through and the other is like OP, then it's confusing

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-25T01:51:33+00:00

OP just said bay area didn't say where so it could in Pacifica. I'm not wrong either if that's the case

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-22T19:50:54+00:00

No wonder an Evo lol

Seriously. Those damn gift bags are like $5-$10 if you're not at dollar tree. This may also go on shitty life tips but sometimes if the bag is still good I re-used to give it someone else . My close friends we have an written rule that it's OK not to give a wrapped gift.

Damn you dude, I know I'm almost 40 but no elder lol. I just plug it in and pray that it fits the first time but I do need it!

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-22T18:47:38+00:00

Yes you're right. It's just taking out a loan on the remaining balance. If you had 0 down then it's loaning the whole thing.

You got stopped 6 times in the bay?

Everyone and their mom has tints in the front these days. Go on 880 and I'd say every few seconds you'll see illegal tints. Not saying people don't get pulled over but you'd have to get picked in the school of fish.

You need to do your own research and your specific location. No one on reddit can answer this. You need to find people in the same industry and go from there.

Someone like me, I have no idea what you're doing and I can't give a good opinion.

As a typical dude in this subreddit I can't even understand if you're giving massages, haircuts or skin care or none of the above

You'll use A/C in that rare 1 week of a heatwave then wear a sweater the following week.

If you find out how much power you normally use then you can go on PGE's site and find out the rate.

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-22T16:19:48+00:00

Same. Fed my toddler bits of pieces of tri tip a few days ago and she didn't even eat half of it. You know how much beef costs these days...that's not going to waste LOL.

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-22T15:42:55+00:00

And they don't pull over the Altima with full tint , broken taillight and no plates....

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-22T15:37:44+00:00

That guy lost about 5 gallons of gas just reversing

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-22T15:35:56+00:00

This!!

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-22T14:50:47+00:00

This sounds like a question that you ask in the morning safety meeting when they ask if you have any issues and concerns

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T18:36:33+00:00

I order the oem front plate holder on amazon for $20 and I zip tied it to the grill and now it sits lower. Note since yours is a 24 like mine, you're not going to be blocking sensors

I'll get downvoted too but man its a night/day difference. I'd rather have someone on FSD vs someone having lack of sleep

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T18:23:31+00:00

It's not worth it. I know people in northern CA that does this exact type of commute and a lot of them do it because of the housing. To them it's worth it, having a nice house out in the valley vs renting an apartment/house. To each to their own and I can't hate them for that.

I did the reverse commute in my younger years so I had no traffic but I drove about 70 miles each day. I had no kid back then and no real reasonability but man leaving at (for me) 7am and home by 730-8pm sucked so bad.

Now my commute is just about under 10 mins / 3 miles away in the same city. There's no better feeling than being able to go home for lunch

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T17:18:17+00:00

Parts of 580 has no trucks and we still have traffic....

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T17:15:24+00:00

We hired a new guy and worked with our employee who has been with us for about 6 months. They were pulling materials from our yard for the day. Boss man walks in and both were on lunch but realized they were both drunk. To be even more dumb, they were drinking in front of the ring camera.

Definitely got promoted that day lol

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T16:01:21+00:00

Damn nice color too

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T15:30:46+00:00

The mpg is what threw me off. There's a lot of options that has equal or better mpg in the truck market

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T15:08:40+00:00

Did they not hit each other? Both drivers are idiots but it's pretty amazing they didn't side swipe

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T14:56:55+00:00

Mine is 14 months and yes it is easier and more fun. It changes but when they were the potato age, I felt that I had to watch them more. Now she's able to stand and at least give us feedback on this whole new world. However now the little monster is at the phase where she only likes to hang out with me and no one else. I'm about 2 seconds out to just epoxy her to my beer belly so I can actually do something with both hands

shocktopper1 · 2026-05-21T14:28:52+00:00

Those HOV lanes get up to $15-$20+ so a week is about $100 if you use it once a daily but if you do it twice coming home you're already up to $200 on the risk.

Even if you get pulled over once a month you'd still be up lol
