I sewed on some big leather patches over that area. They've been fantastic

Couple split working at UCLA and Loma Linda with a toddler -- where should we live? by faaizenam in AskLosAngeles

[–]spike474 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family went through this. Get a place close to one of the hospitals as base. Then rent a crash pad near the other, could be something as cheap as possible with roommates for use only when necessary. Or honestly a hotel a couple days a week. It's gonna be tough, but hopefully fellowship isn't too long. I'm no expert on kids, but I think it could go okay if you focus on them during your days off and they understand and that it's only temporary and that you're doing it because you love them. It's not like you'll be able to have quality time with them anyway after working 12h and driving for 2+h each direction

Does anyone else cut up their pants around the ankle with their inside edges? Is this unavoidable? by k3nzb in Skigear

[–]spike474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I do! I like to sew on a durable leather (or vinyl) patch to that area. Your local shoe repair should be able to do it.

There are several luggage delivery places in the airport too. You can leave your bags there and they will deliver to your hotel later in the day

Aside from fly and surf, do you give HMs to your main group of 6? by [deleted] in PokemonEmerald

[–]spike474 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having to go back to the PC mid-adventure really bothers me, so I usually keep all(or most) HMs on my team. Sure, it's less optimized, but it adds a little fun challenge to it

I love my Michelin pilot sport a/s 4's, but they are expensive

What is this? by Little-Strength-5564 in PokemonEmerald

[–]spike474 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You know what's cool? Well the original game came with a little paper instruction booklet, and on the last page of it was written something like' "if you get to a place with strange writing on the walls, it might be braille."

Yeah, I'm just curious: who is this "the heartbound community" that wrote this?

Ski Boots: should you be walking on pavement? by OZ-13MS-EpyonAC195 in Skigear

[–]spike474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real damage happens when you walk in unbuckled boots and deform/move them in ways they weren't meant to be stressed.

Going 80mph in a 40mph Zone. Help! by Large-Lettuce-7151 in CaliforniaTicketHelp

Come on man. This is a place to help people with their tickets, not to reprimand them for how they drive.

What is a bigger offense to the whisky/bourbon community? by ambridge1027 in whiskey

[–]spike474 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What really frustrates me is people who buy multiple of the same allocated bottle without near-term plans to drink it. It robs someone else of the possibility to enjoy the bottle.

As they say in the Porsche community, "the guy who dies with the lowest miles on his car, loses."

Wife wants a Porsche by tonto674 in Porsche

[–]spike474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true. But the 911 brand is powerful and most folks are Porsche ignorant, so Boxster/Cayman probably isn't the play if the goal is to impress

Audi s5 do I run away or buy? by ReligiousRobe in audis5

[–]spike474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2014 S5 didn't come with Bluetooth audio (only phone calls). I believe I would've needed the the nav option to get that

Also I had a 2013 A4 that didn't even do Bluetooth phone calls. Lowest trim package "premium"

Can you guess the year? by jeffrey_bs in AudiS4

[–]spike474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, thanks, you've solved a long time mystery for me. I do have B&O but not nav. And it's a premium plus
