    Fires on Google Maps

    Hey, guys. Here's a new feature on Google Maps that will show you where all fires are. 🔥 Just click on the diamond in the upper-right hand corner then click on "Wildfires". See pic. It's a helpful tool for days like today when you smell smoke.

    Irvine favorites still going strong 2+ decades later

    What's your favorite dish at North Italia? I will add it to my mental checklist and try it in ten years. 😏 One fun thing about Il Fornaio is that there happen to be some games set up on the side of the restaurant, presumably for the tall office building right next door. They have Ping Pong and...

    Irvine favorites still going strong 2+ decades later

    I don't know how many years this has been... but a long, long, LONG time ago I read about Il Fornaio here on TI. Someone here recommended it. For some reason it always stuck into my mind. So when I was recently dying of boredom and looking for a place I hadn't been to before, I went there to...

    Does such a vehicle exist?...

    Thanks for the suggestions but some of them made me wonder if some have misread my "under $300k" comment as "under $30k". It was a response to the Rolls. 😊 I'm ok with over $30k.

    Does such a vehicle exist?...

    Something under $300k would be ideal.

    Does such a vehicle exist?...

    Is there such a thing as a sports car or a compact sporty vehicle that does NOT have tight suspension? The situation: My youngest child recently got his driver's license. 🥳 I've spent decades driving a "responsible, family vehicle". I just gave away that vehicle to the new driver. Now I'm...

    Tesla Model Y

    I just heard that Tesla has adjusted the spring tension on the handles. A friend just got a brand new model 3 a couple months ago. It's a noticeable difference. Still an awkward angle. But much easier to open. That's promising!

    Tesla Model Y

    Ok I watched the video. A man's hand is used in the demo. That's why all the methods work for him. His hand is long enough. In all but the last method, you have to have a long enough hand to keep the button area pressed while grabbing the handle or the frame. My problem is I can press the wide...

    Tesla Model Y

    This is just a random post to say that the thing I find most frustrating about Tesla are the exterior door handles. Even after 2 years of having a Tesla, I still haven't gotten used to it. I'm a door handle moron. I have to use one hand to push in the wide part of the handle and my other hand to...

    Anyone here missing a vintage stamp & letter collection?

    Irvine P.D. posted this on social media today: The Irvine Police Department is trying to locate the owner of a stamp and letter collection found at an Irvine community park. Most of the material appears to be from the 1930s and 1940s. A significant number of items are from Poland and Europe. We...

    2021 Update

    :) Well, hello, TI. It's been a couple years since I've posted here.. Not sure who is around anymore (Iho... Qwerty... Momopi... Panda?). I was recently taking a trip down Memory Lane and thought of TI for the first time in years so I decided to come make a post. In 2008, when I first met...

    How to text an error message

    A lot of smart people on here. Can someone tell me how to text someone an error message? What should it look like exactly? My problem is someone is texting me way too much. I don't want to hurt this person. I've already tried texting back with 1 word answers and only responding to direct...

    New Corvette C8 World Premier in Tustin 7/18/19

    I think it would be fun to buy a Civic Type R. They look fun to drive. I personally really love Hondas and have had nothing but excellent experiences from all of them that I have owned. I have to make a decision in the next few months but I am definitely considering buying one. I saw one on the...

    New Corvette C8 World Premier in Tustin 7/18/19

    I've been threatening to buy this car a lot lately. Now that my kids are older and will be driving themselves around, I say I'm just about ready for my mid-life crisis car. But then I get nervous when I think back to that infamous accident (Nikki Catsouras) which happened on the 241 when the...

    FivePoint Amphitheatre fills up its 2019 season

    Slightly off topic. How old was everyone here when you guys realized it's "amp-fuh-theater" and not "amp-uh-theater". For me, it was today, right now. I've somehow gone all this time missing the pfffffttth.

    Jury Duty

    I just got done serving as a juror on a criminal case at the Santa Ana courthouse. It was the shortest trial there... scheduled over a 6 day period. Luckily, we only needed a very short time to deliberate and got out a day early. Every time I have appeared for jury duty, I have been selected as...
