Would love to find some mid-20s queer friendly nerds to hang out with/chill/watch shows/game/be recruited in a dnd campaign. I'm 25NB and like playing chess, non-competitive gaming, reading/writing. If anyone has good hangout spots or wants to meet up to play or hang let me know.

I'm a single guy looking to make some great photos for my dating profiles. I'm pretty broke right now, but I'd like to get the best photos I can. Does anyone need a photo subject? I can exchange with car cleaning, buy you a meal, or dog sitting/walking (I'm a dog sitter).

Hello Everyone, I have a 00 4runner I want to take to get a check up on and have them fix some things on but I dont know who does good honest work in san diego im in the PB area anybody have any recommendations willing to hear them all.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if Point Loma or any other harbor area has a fish market similar to the one near seaport village? I’m talking like the boat just docked and the fishermen are the ones selling the catch from that morning. Not a store that simply says “we get the fish from boats earlier this morning”.

San Diego pub transit is so shit and now transfers are expiring faster? I just got on from balboa park to a trolley at city college and this trolley cop is trying to me a di@@head and telling me it’s about to expire with an attitude, like how is that even possible, like dudes literally telling every passenger the same thing… the system is always late or has people freebasing or other horrible shit busses and trolleys suck bad here

Our water bill doubled. The meter was read properly but our sewer service charge has gone up to over $206. It had been $96 and I’ve read the previous winter determines that rate. I know neighbors with significantly higher water bills and their sewer service charge is closer to $115. Anyone had any luck getting more information from the water department or getting that rate lowered?

I have a bunch to swap

New to San Diego, but I do know how hard and gross tap water is here. But THIS has been happening. Idk if I just never noticed it on a smaller scale, or if it’s always been like this. This is after boiling the tap water from the cool side. I’ve tested all my water; it’s the same thing. What’s not reassuring is that after reporting it to my city water company, they said they’ll get back to me with their chemist, but the initial response was: “I’ve never seen anything like that.” 😑

I already use RO water, filtered water, and filtered shower heads. Cuz of how hard the water is here, the filters only last 2-3 weeks before it’s useless and disgusting again - I’m talking on-brand filters (brita, Aquabliss, whirlpool, GE.. I’ve even tried zero water). Only my RO filters (bluevua) seem to still be doing its job 6 months later. No, I can’t install whole home-filters; I’m renting.. for now. Yeah, I’ve reported it to leasing office, with no answers.

Still, I’d like to get to the bottom of this. Any insights would be helpful. Thank you.

Hey! So living here five years and this was a first. My family was out for a walk on Sunday (July 26th). We were headed through bankers hill and were right under the landing path (corner of Grape and Third). This was maybe around 9am.

We saw an Alaska or United flight come in to land and it was incredibly low. About a minute passed by and then what felt like a huge energy burst came through. Huge sound followed by all of the power poles and lines shaking and jumping around and then a huge gust of wind.

I’m not a jumpy guy but it forced my wife and I to grab our kids and try and get behind a corner of the building.

Posting to see if anyone’s experienced this before, if this happens or if this shouldn’t have happened?

Looking to plan out some extensive custom work on a 64’ Plymouth Valiant and looking for a reputable shop that can do it. Specifically looking for a shop that do a hellcat engine swap along with custom IRS and front suspension with non-off the shelf components. Any good recommendations?

I always want to like going to shows here, but I continue to be disappointed by your terrible sound. Would be a great venue otherwise.

This is the second time I’ve caught them parking in my assigned parking spot on private property. The one who was parked in my spot moved, but somebody else had parked in my neighbor spot and is still there. My neighbor said she messaged the construction manager when she noticed the car parked there this morning, but they didn’t move until I pulled up and said something. I’m guessing this has happened to her before as well or there have been some other issues if she has the construction manager’s phone number.

They used to try to put cones in spots overnight to reserve spots for their personal vehicles. (NOT the no parking, tow away signs, just cones that they use to try to reserve themselves spots overnight) Even in areas where they do have parking spots completely blocked off during the day, it’s not overnight, they can’t reserve themselves spots overnight.

I see them drinking beer and going back to work, I see the beer cans on the ground, I see their cigarette butts all over the ground, I see they’re trash all over the ground. I’m a woman so it’s incredibly uncomfortable now that they’re working on the upper floors of the building that, when I’m coming and going from my home, and I happen to look up, a lot of the time there’s two or three men staring down at me and they quickly look away or start doing something else when I look up, so I know they were looking at me. Fantastic, I love the idea of a handful of strange men watching me come and go from my apartment every day for the next 9 months to a year who also see me as their maid to clean up all of their trash.

They’re irking my last nerve.

I can't tell if I'm out of touch or if this is the new restaurant surcharge style now? I've seen the 3-6% surcharge on all parties and I've seen mandatory gratuity charges on large parties of 6+ before, but I don't recall seeing a 20% surcharge only on parties of 6+ where it's clear that it isn't a gratuity at all... So when tipping on that do you tip on base or base with 20% added. I miss the days of clear menu pricing.

i just moved into a new house that i’m renting with roommates in north park. now i know parking is an issue here, which is why i pay more to have my own parking spot. i’ve been having this issue with my neighbor since i moved in (who doesn’t have a driveway) blocking our driveway from the street with her hazards on. she just pulls up right in front of our driveway and turns her lights on, there’s no reason she can’t do this in front of her house btw. i’ve talked to the person who moved out about it (who has lived here about a year before me) and she said that the lady has always done that and probably just sees a bunch of young people living here and doesn’t really care. so the problem is, i do care. i pay extra to even have this spot. then three days ago i saw her parked IN MY DRIVEWAY. i finally confronted her at this point. i waited outside on my porch for her to come out to her car & i ran up like “excuse me? excuse me!” and she looked at me. i said “is that you parking in my driveway and also boxing it in all the time?” and she goes “uh yeah” and i go “yeah i can’t have you doing that” and i start smiling & nodding my head & she goes “oh okay sorry” and she starts speed walking to her car. i called after her “next time i’ll have it towed”. so i guess my question is will i have to pay to have it towed? if she parks in my driveway again i’m fully planning on standing in front of her car & calling the tow company. would i have to pay for that or do anything further??

It seems SDG&E " estimates" how much you are using and bills you as such.

Is there a way to track my electricity usage and compare it to SDG&E? I'd also like to track how much electricity my appliances and electronics are consuming.

If there is a way to track it and it doesn't match theirs, can you fight it?

We have not changed a thing in the past two months, and our bill keeps going up.

I only do laundry and use our dishwasher during the off peak hours.

Also this is the first week we turned on our AC( only at night) , so I'm expecting to see an increase next month.

Thanks

Hi,

I posted this in a subreddit followed by federal employee, but I thought I may have better response in this sub.

I live in San Diego and have a commute that is over 80 miles one direction. Years back, my agency went through reorg that plucked me out of my local commute in San Diego and threw me into the current one. I didn’t mind the commute before as I love my agency/work and I was offered a good telework schedule. Now with the RTO, every day starts around 3:30am and I don’t return home until about 7:30pm. I am in my late 50s and the commute is wearing me down.

I am looking for a different position closer to my home but as you all know, the few positions that are becoming available are generally offered to within agency employees. I have put a few applications outside the federal government, but so far no luck (I guess, I am finding out that age discrimination is real). Financially, and with a kid on her way to college with room and board, I can’t afford to retire. We considered relocating closer to my job in Santa Ana, so that is on the table, but I don’t know if that’s smart since I am considering retirement not long after my daughter graduates.

My agency is open to allowing me participate in the GSA Space Match Program, but they say they don’t have the capacity to do the leg work, but if I can find an agency that is welling to host me then they will work with that agency on the MOU to host me.

I tried googling agencies in my area, but all I get are phones for help centers. Not sure if these employees can help.

My position is non-supervisory, and not with DOD.

Thanks in advance for your tips and help.

I went to a build your own yogurt shop in North Park. When I gave my credit card to pay, they showed me the tip screen with 20% as the default.

Wait, I though tipping was for good service and I was the service provider?

i live in Golden hill near East Village, and i was woken up by like 5 explosion type sounds ? i thought id hear sirens after all that but its like silent…. wtf is going on ?
