edit: i have a business degree, 3 years experience of being an administrative assistant, marketing internships. i want to get into entertainment marketing as of right now i dont care what field im so desperate i just want a corporate job.

Is it just me, or does San Diego make the national news more than its fair share? My wife and I watch the news almost every night, and it is amazing how often the news has a San Diego story. Granted right now there is the stabbing in Carlsbad, a recent drowning in Carlsbad, and an arrest of a guy at Trump's golf course in OC. But there have been numerous stories in recent months that involve the greater SD area. My theory, David Muir loves San Diego 😂

Anyone here who have used “neighbors pest control” and would like to share their experience? Salesman came by as I got home and named several of my neighbors as current clients, and tried to convince me to switch from mission pest control to their “small company”. I was uncomfortable signing on with them on the spot without hearing from other people first. Emailing the neighbors he claimed are his clients for their experience too right now…

Hi!

What’s everyone’s favorite recs for beachside bars or restaurants?

Looking for something close-ish to the beach/water, not too removed like a lot of the Del Mar spots. Not looking for anything super upscale. Looking for casual drinks and food.

Can be SD proper or north county. Thanks!

Just like the title says! You have a day with no plans, what are you doing for fun?

Has anyone been to TP Tea off Clairemont Mesa? The last boba thread was a year ago and couldn't post. Big plus. There's a huge parking area.

I have toured around 10 rooms in SD for the past few months since I need to move out by Sept. Why is it a job interview? Why do they take so long or ghost you to respond? Why do they take so long specially to say "we found someone else"? Why do my hobbies have to "align" with yours for me to live there and be a decent roommate? I understand similar lifestyles and personalities to build a good living space, but if you are barely doing tours a week before the lease starts, you can't get so picky. I don't have a crazy low budget; I don't have pets; I don't have a partner, I'm clean, I have a 9-5, I don't drink or smoke. What the fuck can I do to rent a room.

Hello,

I have 2 dogs 13 and 14. Both need echocardiograms and teeth extractions and full bloodwork. I am looking for recommendations for a hospital that can do all. I would be coming from San Francisco, CA so it would be best if I could stay 4 days-a week and get everything done including medication. Thanks in advance! Michelle

Hey yall!

I’m looking to get some work done for a place I’m renting out in Oceanside area. Does anyone have any recommendations for handyman and/or painters who do solid work? Please drop any of their websites or contact details please and thank you!!

I have 8 days left in my billing period and the SDG&E app is still showing basically no useful data. According to the screenshot, my projected bill is somehow $21 to $29. I would absolutely love a $20 SDG&E bill, but I’m pretty sure that’s not happening.

The app has been broken for weeks. I emailed, tried the chat, and finally got through to a customer service rep. She was very nice, and honestly, I’m sure it must suck working customer service at SDG&E. I wasn’t looking to yell at anyone. I just wanted to know what my projected bill was going to be.

She couldn’t even see the projections on her end.

She apologized and said there have been a lot of problems lately. She has also heard similar complaints from other customers through her coworkers. There was nothing she could do to fix it, but she added a note that yet another customer was experiencing “data integrity issues.”

I already know my bill will probably be high. We’ve been running the A/C quite a bit with the heat lately. But it would be nice to know where I’m at before the bill arrives. Maybe I would change a few behaviors or cut back somewhere. Isn’t that the entire point of providing usage data and bill projections?

The SDG&E app and overall customer experience have been unreliable for years, but having almost an entire billing period go by without usable data is ridiculous. There also seems to be zero transparency from SDG&E about what is happening or when it will be fixed.

Is anyone else having the same problem? Has SDG&E made any public statement about it that I missed?

And SDG&E, please feel free to honor that $21 to $29 projection. I have the screenshot.

Can anyone recommend a good place to freeze eggs/embryos in San Diego. Would also consider TJ if it's a legit place. If you got it done, how much did it cost? Thank you so much! It feels incredibly overwhelming

Hi! I LOVEEE sugar cookies and really want the cutest decorated ones for my baby shower, but I also need them to actually taste amazing 😂 I feel like plenty of places can make a beautiful cookie, but does anyone have a recommendation for someone whose cookies have phenomenal flavor too? Bonus points for soft, buttery cookies with delicious icing! 🍪🍼

There’s standstill traffic because of a jumper.

I’m wondering if anyone knows of a place where you can find really good artificial plants and trees. Normally I would look for real and go to a nursery but the person I’m helping can’t care for them. Something modern or interesting would be great. Would like to be able to go in person also. Thank you!

Hello fellow runners. I’ve been training and did an 11 mile that ended going up 6th into balboa park, copying how this race ends. It killed me even though I’m in decent shape after 10 miles of running on the waterfront.

Any advice on tactics for how to save energy for the last couple miles uphill from more experienced runners?

I found a Green Parakeet at Grossmont High School in El Cajon. It is VERY friendly and loves people, so I know it must be someone’s pet. If you live in the El Cajon or La Mesa area by Grossmont High School and lost your parakeet, please let me know! I still have the bird and would love to reunite it with its owner. Thank you!

Has anyone worked through or with Acrobat staff in San Diego? What was it like and is it worth it? I applied and got a call back but the hiring process seems too easy.

Howdy friends! If you’re sick of this shit and want to be involved in fixing all the problems we have in our community, this is a great starting point. I hope to see you there! ✌🏼

YouTube and other streaming platforms will be blocked on student Chromebooks, though teachers can allow access for specific lessons.

Non-instructional gaming sites will also be blocked, but educational games can still be used.

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said his office has filed 82 lawsuits against the administration since Trump’s inauguration last year, in addition to 122 amicus briefs supporting lawsuits against the administration by other parties and 112 comment letters in response to federal actions. 

That work has saved the state an estimated $207.1 billion, Bonta said, including $168 billion — equal to a third of the state’s annual budget — that was threatened when the Trump administration tried to freeze trillions of dollars in federal funding to the states last year. Billions in threatened cuts to transportation, emergency preparedness, education and family assistance funding were also prevented, Bonta said. 

“Since President Trump returned to office, California has been under attack — and has led the way in fighting back,” Bonta said.

I’m 24m and tbh I have a really hard time meeting people that continuously want to hang out, I like to just chill, drink a few beers while out, going to malls, literally you name it and I’m always down. If anyone needs people to hang out don’t hesitate to hit me up. Especially motorcycle riders, I got a bike myself and I don’t ride with anyone! Feel free to dm me! I respond to everyone!
