Hello! I am going to take my inflatable SUP to Marina Del Ray. I have the Niphean 10’6” x 33 and my partner has the SereneLine 10’. I’m a bit nervous for paddle boarding on the ocean. I know it’s in a marina so I’m assuming it’ll be not too dissimilar from a lake, yeah? I’m thinking go in the morning when it’s less windy. Any tips for ocean paddling? Or if anyone has been there, any tips for the marina? I was thinking about putting in at Mothers Beach.
Also, if I am looking at getting another board, would it behoove me to get a longer one for ocean adventures?
Thanks :)

I miss cheese and meat with jams and honey. All the little snacky things. Any good suggestions for vegan options for this?

As someone dealing with food addiction, I wanted to share, perhaps, another perspective. This might be for my own catharsis.
There are so many psychologists and social scientists who are being paid by companies to research how to get you to eat more so they can profit off of you. Humans have never had to experience such mass psychological manipulation before. We are the first generations of humans to experience phones, tv, even billboard ads for Gods sake. Our evolved physiological processes are being used as tools against us for some guy to get his next yacht. Colors are being assessed to see which one stimulates appetite the most. The biggest human desire, love and connection, is turned into “sex sells”. Capitalism has turned our basic need into something that is poisonous and addictive. So, as I sometimes read on here, no, you’re not “broken”. You live in a broken system. And I’m sorry I do too.

All this to be said, I think we should take it a bit easier on ourselves. Those scientists really do be discovering what works.
And hopefully an extra motivation not to eat that fast food cheeseburger will be “Fuck capitalism, and fuck the guy profiting off of my unhealthiness”

I have a concert to go to the evening of my orientation day. I’m trying to find a schedule or how long orientation goes. Does anyone know when it ends?

Hello! I am curious if anyone that is attending the TSP for AAP has gotten a class schedule. When selecting the classes it said they were not guaranteed so I’m curious which classes I got. Also I wanna get books! Maybe if you did the program in the past you could fill me in, as well. Any help would be great, thanks😊

Hello. I live in an apartment in a big city and I have house plants. Sometimes I feel like I have too many and it is a waste of water. Should I not get any more? I feel like it helps my sanity taking care of life in this way and being surrounded by plants and greenery. Any thoughts?

Hello! I have a question about enrollment. My new student orientation isn’t for another month and all the classes are getting filled. :(
I was checking out professors on ratemyprofessor but at this point I just don’t know what I’ll be able to get. What was your experience with this?

Is there anything I should be doing while I wait? Or to prepare for my new student orientation?
Any tips would be great! Thank you :)

Hello all! Looking for suggestions. It’s my first time watching through DS9. I’m on season 4 episode 3 and I’m having a bad day. I would like something a bit less serious. I kinda don’t mind if there’s spoilers but maybe nothing too big. Just something a bit more uplifting or funny. Any suggestions are great. Thank you☺️

Hello! New fan. I love this show. I’m curious do Ferengi have a religion? There was a moment where Quark looked up like he was addressing some higher power.

Hello! Incoming transfer student here. I’ve started looking at apartments, but I’m a little concerned about parking. The website says parking permits are not guaranteed, so I was wondering if anyone has ever been unable to get a parking pass for a quarter. If so, what did you end up doing for parking?
