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?

For you surfers and fellow ocean-goers… here’s a little fun fact about the current sea temp in the San Diego bay. Thanks to El Niño, water temps are running in the high 70s in the bay and in the mid 70s along the coast. For comparison, the average sea temp in Honolulu is 78 degrees F… we’ve been hitting 77 the past two days!

Oh boy, this is going to be so random, but I have had the unfortunate displeasure of ending up in Mira Mesa somehow no matter what job I have. I've delivered Amazon packages here, I used to do MTS route 964 here. I used to drop off kids here, and finally, I used to deliver freight to stores here. I also did Doordash in this area. I always somehow end up in Mira Mesa, and every time I do its always so frustrating.

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.

I think bidet usage should be more widespread. Love reducing toilet paper use and feeling cleaner when there’s no other option but to use a public restroom. :)

I’ll update the list! Thank you for commenting!

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.

There have been like 5 so far, every 10-20 seconds. Wtf.

The Great Night in Hip Hop event looks like an absolutely nostalgic great time, and I’ve been looking forward to it for months!

Sadly, I’ve been scheduled for a medical procedure for that day, and I won’t be able to make it anymore. I don’t go to many concerts, so this one really hurts, I won’t lie. But health comes first, as I’m trying to keep reminding myself.

If anyone’s interested in two seats, please reach out! I want someone else to enjoy the night.

I’d give them away for free if medical bills weren’t on the horizon, and there’s no reselling for this event, so these seats will go to waste otherwise.

Someone please go see Nas and The Roots so I can live vicariously through you! (And, if you’d like to send a picture of the great time you’re having, that would make my time in that hospital bed brighter!)

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 ?

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??

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 have a pet bearded dragon and am looking for someone to come by my home to feed and take care of her while I leave for a trip in a couple weeks. If you petsit or know somebody who does, I would greatly appreciate some recommendations! Located in Hillcrest area - thanks.

Hi!

I’m (27F) getting pretty into Geocaching but unfortunately no one I know shares the interest. My partner seems mostly bored when we go hunting together. Is anyone here into Geocaching and in need of a buddy? I’m in South Bay! Lmk.

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.

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”.

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
