I'm not gonna lie. So far California sucks. We have racism back home and they don't loving pussyfoot around with it. They dress up like loving ghosts and poo poo. Step up your game California. We also don't cry like loving babies when it's cold. I have lost track of the number of grown rear end people throwing little fits in public because of the chill. We just had the entire patio to ourselves because of the wind. Maybe there will be an earthquake to liven this poo poo up. LoL, no. This has been a great time. SD really reminded me of Chicago, just how its laid out and the proximity to water. Decent transit system as well. Also the homeless stuff i have mentioned. Anaheim thus far is all hotels and buses. Disneyland tomorrow. Then off to some haunted boat.

We haven't even gotten to LA yet! Also we did not rent a car for this trip. I wanted to sightsee, not worry about rear end in a top hat drivers. We're here til Wednesday, still a lot to do. But for real, none of the food has been special yet. Carne asada fries? You can get that ahit anywhere in the midwest. My wife gives no shits about cars so we're not doing a lot if car poo poo. Cars & Coffee in Monterey on Saturday is the main thing. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Mar 5, 2018 |

I just posted previously about spending last week there with my little ones. Are you only spending one day at Disney? Did you get a park hopper pass? If you want to focus on rides/attractions let me know and I can PM you a few pointers. It was a little chilly but like wear a hoodie at night kind of weather but great during the day. It beat the foot of snow I left in Salt Lake to go (100% the reason I booked the trip two months before our plan to go). Re: homelessness. It’s sad and sucks everywhere in the western states. We have a lot in Utah to the point I avoid a big part of downtown SLC and only go to specific places. I remember seeing a lot when I went to Phoenix last year too.

Elaborate. Goons on FB told me i had to drive from SD to Anaheim or I'd regret it. Well the trip was slow, frequently stopped and the highway was jammed with lovely drivers. San Diego didn't require a car and we saw most of downtown and balboa park. We made it to Old Town and Ocean Beach without a car. Goons again told me that LA is a huge shithole and to avoid it. Ditto for Hollywood. See this is the problem with traveling, some peolme think what they like about a city is all that matters. I want to see cool rear end old buildings, walk around and sightsee with my wife and not worry about driving. And also eat pizza every day.

Rhyno posted:We haven't even gotten to LA yet! No idea if either of you are into ships/boats and history, but if you are, the Maritime Museum in San Diego is well worth a visit. I can easily kill a day there, especially if you take a harbor tour on one of their boats. A sail on the America or the Californian is also something that's awesome, but usually requires planning in advance and you'll be out on the water for several hours.

For example, if you were still in anahiem tommorow, I'd recommend you get some carnitas at el toro bravo in costa mesa. This would be not be an abnormal trip for dinner in socal. However, without a car it will either take forever or an expensive uber. La and hollywood suck. Except for food and car stuff, all of which require public transit. Marios is probably public transitable from hollywood and isn't a terribly expensive uber, so totally go there. Lomo saltado is so good. i repeat, if you gp thrre, get thr lomo saltado. For the record, I do eat things other than spicy beef and potatoes, but my recommendations wouldn't lead you to believe that. I would have taken the train from sd to oc, then rented a car. nm fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Mar 5, 2018 |

It's a dry cold, 65 and a slight breeze with 3% humidity feels a hundred times colder than 45 and 40% humidity. Rhyno, If you've only been to San Diego, San Diego is like what Los Angeles would be if it was created in a vat designed to be as California-Lite as possible while not offending anyone. In LA: Go to Mario's Peruvian, there's two guys here independently telling you to do it and to get the Lomo Saltado and a shitload of the aji sauce. Nothing like that anywhere. It's also surprisingly economical. Eat sushi, you can throw a broken PT Cruiser Eat autentico mexican, which means there'll be no lettuce in the burritos like they do up Midwest Way. Go to Koreatown and have all you can eat BBQ. Go eat fresh shrimp anywhere along the beach between Redondo and Malibu. Then to really cap off your honeymoon, take your lady to Providence, you will not have a better meal anywhere in the world. Rhyno posted:My wife gives no shits about cars  or alternately, quit getting free terrible cars, learn to drive RWD, and maybe she'll get into the idea!

Welp, mom drowned her S6 Edge. Apparently her cat knocked it into the toilet. It was DOA by the time she pulled it out. Did a factory reset on my work phone (Moto X 2014), which is the most reliable non-daily driver phone I have. Turns out Xposed Mod modifies enough system files that you soft brick the phone doing that. Wound up going by there after work and loading a factory image on it, got it working. In theory, I should have it back in a couple of days, but stepdad controls the purse strings, and he's off to Craigslist to undoubtedly buy a blacklisted S7. Using my Nexus 6P as my work phone for now. Cripes, it's big. And keeps shutting off when it drops below 80%.  I guess the upside is it actually has a decent antenna and radio, unlike the Essential PH-1 (seriously ready to dropkick this thing, it has serious signal issues... and /r/essential shows I'm far from alone).  Forgot how beautiful the AMOLED display was on the Nexus too.  Essential has pretty drat good battery life though, from a way smaller battery. Blaming that on the LCD vs AMOLED panel, plus a newer, more efficient processor.The Locator posted:If recall work takes more than a day then the manufacturer should pick it up, but some dealers are lazy and don't want to do that paperwork. FWIW, GM claimed if any recalls on my car took over an hour and a half, I was to get a loaner for the full day. The dealer claimed an hour. 4 hours later, I had a bitch of a sunburn, had one salesman hand me an application for a lot porter when I told him I was just looking and couldn't afford a Camaro anyway (I almost kicked him in the nuts for that one), and drat near lost my job, since stupid me believed them when they said "we guarantee it'll be an hour for the power steering recall!"). (gently caress Huffines Chevrolet so loving hard) (the other recall work was all done by Reliable Chevy in Richardson.. and they knocked it all out super quick, didn't hassle me while walking around, and when I asked about burger places, one guy said "YOU GOTTA TRY THIS PLACE" and drove me the ~mile down the road. the burger was indeed worth it - he even offered to pick me back up, but I figured I needed to walk off the ~2/3 pound burger). ExplodingSims posted:Being in FL is fun when it gets below 65 or so. It's not quite like that here, but we'll get the random 75-80 degree day here in December. I remember seeing a family of 3 or 4 walking down the road bundled up like it was -20 degrees when it was 80 in the middle of December... when I (and literally everybody else around) was wearing shorts, had the windows down, and the ac on. I felt bad for the kids.

You got this backwards mate, a dry cold is much more tolerable than a humid cold. Try visiting the Maritimes, I guarantee you will be frozen to your bones at -15°C with high humidity from the surrounding ocean and a breeze while -40°C in the dry prairies can be tolerable.

Rhyno posted:We haven't even gotten to LA yet! At least go visit the Peterson museum in LA, if only because it was closed for remodeling when I was there. Likewise, if you're still in San Diego, go tour the USS Midway, because I didn't have time when I was there for work stuff. I live vicariously through others. Went to flush the cooling system on my wife's Kia, but gave up before I started when I noticed the wet rusty coolant on the outside of the radiator. Now waiting for a new rad to be delivered, thanks to the 3" long crack in the top tank. Thankfully it's about a 1/2" from the top, so the car is fine for the short drives my wife makes. She'll be watching the temp gauge, though. Did get a new master cylinder on my AE86, and I'm thrilled that it actually stops without planning ahead, now.
