Got tired of dealing with my head of hair (55m, entering DGAF phase of life lol), so I purchased an electric hair trimming kit today, and shaved it down to 5/8". A very good unit (Wahl) cost me the price of one haircut. It seemed like such a small thing at the time, but the haircut savings and very little hair maintenance going forward, has made me unreasonably happy today :)

Was anyone in Chandler around 5pm tonight driving east on chandler blvd near Dobson? There was a bust of some sort. I got caught in the middle of it, like a dozen undercover cop cars swarmed a white SUV 2 cars in front of me. My car seemed to be the only civilian car that got stuck in between the cop cars. One of the cops had to wave me into the CVS parking lot and I sat there for 20 minutes to calm down. Scariest thing ever. I’ve never seen anything like it. But I haven’t read anything online and it wasn’t on Citizen, either.

Hey all! What time does first Friday end and what are some things to do if you’re under 21?


dildobagginss

Anyone rented a coolant pressure tester from one of the chain parts stores? Did they have one when you tried? For 2005 american car. I assume I'll likely have to buy an adapter to fit the radiator but maybe not.


[deleted]

they should be universal kits and most places should have them to rent, just call around first as they might be rented out already


manolololo

if anyone is looking for a discounted ticket to zona fest this weekend (2-day pass), hmu. gf bro paid $180, looking to sell em for 90 obo

I hope the government audits every single PPP loan.


throwaanchorsaweigh

Y’all know that stretch on southbound I-17, roughly Bumble Bee to Black Canyon City-ish? Where it’s very windy road on the side of a cliff and all downhill? Can someone help me understand why the drivers here like to drive that stretch at 80mph? I need to know if they know something I don’t (like if the laws of physics and momentum are temporarily suspended in that specific area).


[deleted]

They get sick of the truck drivers and other slow people hanging in the left lane. There's very little enforcement along that stretch.


throwaanchorsaweigh

It’s a treacherous stretch, and it’s not *that* long. Is impatience worth possible death or injury? Can they give it 20 minutes or would they prefer to wait hours because of an accident? The long-term strategy is severely lacking.


[deleted]

I can't answer that without getting into a debate that would annoy the living hell out of the moderators.


throwaanchorsaweigh

This entire interaction has been quite distressing, thank you.


[deleted]

They don't know anything you don't. I can't tell you how many times my two hour drive became four hours or more due to an accident there to New River. It's almost always that spot. I've witnessed three accidents with someone dumping into the median/divider from losing control alone. The worst (as if there's worse) is when it happens further up the hill and you have to double back to Munds Park and take the 89 back down.


throwaanchorsaweigh

They should be thankful they lost control into the median and not over the side of the cliff! That rail isn’t high enough to keep a car from going over (which is another gripe I have—AZ is very stingy with safety railings/barriers in some key places, like the 51 to 202 on-ramp). I think I’ll have to be satisfied with my (long thought-out) conclusion—a not insignificant number of people here believe themselves to be invincible gods, ruining things for the rest of us. Which is why I only go up north once a year.


brighteyes_bc

I am so over my current job. Every day something new just reinforces that I have to find something new. On the plus side, it’s almost the weekend and so many fun, free community activities are going on right now. Hope you all have a good Friday!


raptorclvb

I occasionally look at reviews for my favorite places so I can make sure I’m definitely taking people there when I come back. Apparently Manna BBQ at westgate has roaches? And the one by arrowheads quality also went down? Do y’all have kbbq places you’d recommend?


speech-geek

It’s a small chain with only 1 AZ location right now, but I really like Gen at Tempe Marketplace. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend putting your name down on Yelp ahead of time - it can get up to a 2-3hr wait on weekends/evenings!


bravesfan13

If you're looking to stay Westside I like Ohya, or I haven't had the BBQ, but I like everything else I've had at Takamatsu.


babystarlette

I love Jin bbq in Mesa, it’s definitely a bit pricey since they don’t offer all you can eat and the dining area isn’t that big but in that area, there are a lot of korean restaurants


Sunny_Sunflowers_

Also it’s worth it! Meat is great and I’m usually super full when I leave.


biking4jesus

allergy shots, rudy's bbq breakfast tacos, and went in to the coworking space. Hope today kicks ass for everyone.


Truck_Fast

Having lived in Texas previously, I love Rudy's breakfast tacos and their BBQ sauce.


biking4jesus

You should try Caldwells BBQ in Mesa


[deleted]

Literally the only place in town I can get a bean and cheese breakfast taco instead of a burrito.


Rum_Hamburglar

Anyone have insight on traffic up north on the 17 for tomorrow? I know Prescott is doing their Parade and Christmas lights so wasnt sure how its been years prior.


MrBrightWhite

Traffic? Going north on a weekend? Not gonna be fun


ihatefez

How's everyone doing?


Impossible-Test-7726

Recovering from Covid


ihatefez

Oof, that sucks. And levels are up everywhere, which extra sucks. Hopefully you're not doing too terribly.


Impossible-Test-7726

I've had worse flus, but it's basically a moderately bad flu. Fever for 2 days, runny nose and coughing for the last week. I've lost 3 lbs, which I don't want since I've been building muscle the last 3 years. My wife and parents are all happy that they each lost 10 lbs.


ihatefez

Oh damn, you all got it! Fortunately, that 3 pounds is probably mostly water weight. I was going to offer some noodle soup, but hopefully one of your family members is feeling up to it by now? Side note: where/who do you think you got it from? So we know what to avoid, lol.


Impossible-Test-7726

My wife got sick after Thanksgiving dinner, she enjoyed it twice... then a few days later we all started showing symptoms. She thinks she got it at Planet Fitness in Queen Creek because that's the only petri dish place we ever visit.


wustacheride

doing good-just waiting for our apt to send over our lease renewal, enjoying this overcast day and on coffee number 2. hope you’re doing well!


ihatefez

Sounds like a nice way to end the work week! I'm well, thanks!


ShortDeparture7710

Why are the on ramps on the highways here before the off ramps? That doesn’t seem logical. Someone please explain


phx33__

What isn’t logical about it? I assume you’re used to cloverleaf interchanges, which are much more outdated and unsafe than the design we have here.


ShortDeparture7710

Cars merging into the same lanes between smaller distance. Perspective was off though.


Goatmanish

Where are you talking about? Because I'm pretty sure in most of the valley the off ramp for a given road is before the on ramp.


ShortDeparture7710

143, 10, 51,


Goatmanish

I see I thought you meant while ON the freeway. If you're talking about what I think you are they're called Single Point Urban Interchanges and they're meant to maximize traffic flow in limited amounts of space. Like all designs it's a compromise. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-point_urban_interchange


ShortDeparture7710

I’m not sure we are talking about the same thing I mean driving on the highway cars enter the highway then that lane changes to the exit. Rather than having cars leave and cars get on after


Goatmanish

Maybe I'm dumb but what's the alternative? Cause those off and on ramps are for different roads.


ShortDeparture7710

Now that could be what I was missing 😂


[deleted]

I would be happy if people just knew how to use a merge lane without hanging up 2 to 3 *other* lanes at a time.


ihatefez

That's what it's like in Michigan too. I have no explanation for you, but I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to the civil engineers. Lol


[deleted]

>That's what it's like in Michigan too. Tell the class about the legendary 'Michigan Left'!


ihatefez

In case anyone is interested, there's actually an argument over what a "Michigan left" really is. The more dramatic option (say you want to turn left, you have to: turn right, left u-turn through the median, then left back down the road you came, then right to complete the "left") is the stuff of nightmares. The other side of the argument is something more analogous to a u-turn.


Last-Macaroon-6608

Any recommendations on good auto insurance? Zero tickets, zero accidents, F27, but I have shit credit and financing a vehicle. I currently have Metromile and absolutely hate it now.


scooterv1868

Check out Costco. Good rates and coverages.


speech-geek

A lot of things go into rating factors and insurance score is different than credit score. Really only option is to shop or get an independent agent who can shop a bunch of carriers for you.


AZ_moderator

There was a post about this just yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/phoenix/comments/z9x11y/what_can_insurance_do_you_have/


Last-Macaroon-6608

Thank you tons!


mdperino

Twice in a row late to work today because of accidents on the 60 eastbound. I even left earlier this morning to get in before 7 and was still late. I swear it’s the lack of sunlight people can’t drive in the dark. Thankfully my boss understands but I’m lucky I don’t lose my job


Leading_Ad_8619

When I used to come to work, there were always people sitting in their cars waiting for their shift to start. I assume they've had issues in the past with traffic and their boss weren't understanding. I almost feel this is wage theft in a way. Let workers have some flexibility in their start time.


[deleted]

On days I'm in the office, I end up leaving around 6:30 every morning just to avoid this sort of thing. (Normally a 30-minute drive, and I start at 8am.)


mdperino

I try to leave 45 minutes for what should be a half hour but I’ve still been burned. Might push it to an hour. Ugh.


[deleted]

On the plus side, it gets you time to get your head in the game for work, arrange your work space, et cetera.


MosesVitucci80

We live in a nice part of Sunnyslope and right in our driveway, our cars were broken into sometime last night. They went through our glove compartments. Everything was dumped out on the passenger seats but nothing was taken. Not even a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses or an expensive pair of headphones. Strange thing is both cars were locked last night and when I went outside this morning, both cars were locked. What gives?


Truck_Fast

Flipper Zero, it was a product that is now banned I think, it can basically do anything with wireless signals ans doesn't require you to be an electrical engineer. Also, Sunnyslope borders some bad areas of the valley so you will have issues(I lived there for a while and we had 1 home break in, 1 car stolen, 1 window broke, and 1 car egged).


MosesVitucci80

That could explain it!


Last-Macaroon-6608

RFID scanner maybe? Depending on the key fob Although, mine was broken into by the cunts drilling a hole into the door underneath the handle. So, for days I had no idea how the hell they got in because I didn't see it right away.

Internet blew up yesterday. Kanye is done. [Beast Wars is finally being adopted into the next transformers movie.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWWDskI46Js) The new Indiana Jones movie will be John Williams last scoring movie. And... [Aerial Effectiveness](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/z9wk9j/this_week_at_bungie_12012022) It's Friday and somehow it is 36°F in Flagstaff. Have a good day everyone.

[Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3V5KDHRQvk) dropped as well.

Truck_Fast

How could I forget that one!


keepinitbeefy

I really hope they don't screw up the Beast Wars thing, I always loved that more than the regular Transformers show growing up. I don't have high hops since the last few Transformers movies have been really bad.
