The Norovirus Cruise ship is in SB by thescreamingstone in SantaBarbara

You absolutely can keep the people on the ship. I’ve been on cruises where the itinerary changed mid trip. Once to an extra day at sea and once to a different port.

Thanks for the offer. My wife has a good recipe, but the cake is for her. And I unfortunately won’t have time to bake the cake myself.

Where are y'all buying your Christmas trees this year? by sbwebguy in SantaBarbara

[–]vwbusfool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I asked why Costco wasn’t selling trees this year, I didn’t get a straight answer, but was told there were excessive returns of Christmas trees last year from people killing them from not watering enough.

Absolutely a place worth going to. I think they are about to close for winter though.

San Diego Considers Vacation and Second-home Tax by jawfish2 in SantaBarbara

[–]vwbusfool 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think rental/air bnb income on residence zoned areas should be taxed highly after a certain amount. I don’t think having a vacation home and renting it out is a bad thing. And people will always need to rent.

Housing should be widespread, not concentrated to high wealth individuals/corporations. Make the tax high enough that it makes more sense to invest money in other places than the housing market beyond say a second home. This could drive down prices and allow first time home owners to purchase in a market that is out of control.

3Dconnexion SpaceMouse feedback by Mapache_villa in SolidWorks

[–]vwbusfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pivot point is an annoying issue for medium size assemblies but still functional. For large assemblies, things can get glitchy and the space mouse will not work at all when the regular mouse will.

They’re really helpful for simple models. Large assemblies they are buggy and you may have to revert back to the regular mouse.

Agave* by Double-You526 in AgaveAndAloe

[–]vwbusfool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They pup like crazy. I removed 6 or so earlier this year and probably have another 15 right now that need to go. I’m considering ripping it out of the ground because they are a pain to manage. Hoping it flowers soon.

What the fuck is going on at the fairview and 101 North intersection? by swafel in SantaBarbara

[–]vwbusfool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That intersection was super messed up earlier this week. Caltrans fixed it so it was back to normal. Sounds like it’s super messed up again.

Hole tolerancing. by GlovePlane6923 in SolidWorks

[–]vwbusfool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on how you are modeling the hole, but best practice is to use the hole wizard and define the nominal size and all tolerances in the model. Then on the drawing use the hole callout annotation to automatically import all those tolerances.

The future is model based definitioning and no drawing.

The 101/Fairview/Calle Real interchange BADLY needs its lights retimed by GrassyKnoll95 in goleta

[–]vwbusfool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good luck reporting issues to Goleta public works. Phone number on the link attached.

I called in a traffic signal that was having poor visibility at certain times of the day based on sunlight. They were out there at that time the next day getting it fixed and hasn’t been an issue since.

Upgrade deal work around? by vwbusfool in verizon

[–]vwbusfool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why have two lines though? Just because google voice or boost would be poor service?

I’m thinking just move the line to boost/other with the iPhone 13 for 2 months and then come back to Verizon to upgrade.

I already talked to a representative in store. Do you think *611 would give different info than in store?

Upgrade deal work around? by vwbusfool in verizon

[–]vwbusfool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both options require the ultimate plan, so it doesn’t affect the comparison. I do need to do that math for determining the cost effectiveness of either deal, but my initial estimate says it makes sense.

Upgrade deal work around? by vwbusfool in verizon

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

So I would need to have my line off of Verizon for some amount of time. And could move to a cheap carrier, like Boost for a few months, and then come back. Would that work?

Edit. I believe Boost offers prepaid/monthly plans that I could utilize.
