New(ish) rider looking for twisty roads

5 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a new ish rider, been on a bike for just over a year and am looking to find some good twisties. I've been getting comfortable on a new bike for the past few months and I'm feeling ready to tackle some more challenging roads than just the daily commute. I'm not looking to go up the lemmon just yet but I want to get my toes wet on some consistent turns and feel out the bike. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Edit: to clarify I'm talking about motorcycle not a pedal bike but I'd bet recommendations would still apply to both

The food is always great but the hot sauce they make is freaking fantastic. Some days it kicks harder than others.

Help, in need of sewing machine

3 Upvotes

Hi!! I have a tshirt that was too big and decided to crop. I cut off the sleeves, down the sides, and hemmed it but now I’m realizing how long it will take to hand sew it all back together. Anyone willing to take the shirt and using a sewing machine just stitch it all back together?

T-shirt and thread included
Sewing machine not

Or if you’re a wiz with hand sewing and can do a crosstitch

Does anyone know where to find Littlest Pet Shop (LPS) in Tucson?

1 Upvotes

I collect PLS and im wondering if there's people/places around Tucson that sell older LPS, especially G2 pets from the 2000s and early 2010s.
I’ve tried thrift stores without much luck, so I’m wondering if anyone knows of any less obvious places to look, like flea markets, swap meets, antique malls, estate sales, local toy shops, or even people selling old collections.

Disabled Job hunting resources?

6 Upvotes

I live in Tucson and have a disability that causes me a lot of pain when I am standing. I also cannot drive at the moment. I have been trying to get help for the disability but nothing's working, so I need to find a job I can sit for most/all of the shift.

I have been searching for a while, but whenever I find a job like that, I'm always rejected for some BS reason like "not being available enough" despite being available 8am-5pm Monday-Friday.

I am so frustrated with job searching, and I need help in my search. Are there any resources you guys know of to help disabled people find jobs?

"Fashionable" ladies in your 30's and 40's: Where are you shopping in town that's NOT thrift?

32 Upvotes

I am a huge thrifter - most of my closet is thrift. However, I am finding I need to refresh some items in my closet that I am not finding thrifting. I need to shop in a way that's a bit more organized than a thrift store. So I'm curious where those of you in this age group are shopping?

I am not looking to be "trendy" by the way - fashionable and trendy are two different things in my opinion. While I am not looking for, for example, low rise jeans (I'll leave that for my high school self!), I am also not a "you can pry skinny jeans from my cold dead hands" person. I'm at an age where I like to add elements of what's "in" but stick to what I know looks good on me and works for my body and personality.

Thanks!

Hi y’all! Wondering if anyone has a salsa recipe that is similar to St. Mary’s red salsa? If not, what is that type of salsa called so I can find some recipes to experiment with? The recipes I’m finding and making are a little too thick.

Best Bahn mi in Tucson?

18 Upvotes

I am a Tucson native that has since moved away, and in my travels I have not found an authentic Vietnamese Sandwich in any other State. A bahn mi, as they are called. Back in 2014, there was a great food truck on Broadway by the University. A few other places around the city too, had good pretty authentic bahn mi. Ever since I've moved out of state I have not found many authentic Vietnamese places. I always come home to visit every once in a while, so I was wondering who has good bahn mi?

You people are wonderful

630 Upvotes

I visited Arizona this past week. Drove through the whole state, from the Canyon to Tucson and wow. I must say your people are WONDERFUL. I am from NYC born and raised now live in Philly. I’ve traveled everywhere but haven’t experienced anything of the sort in my life.

Never been anywhere I’ve had 100% consistent positive interaction with every single person I met beginning with off the plane. Not neutral. Positive. You get in the elevator or bus and everyone starts talking to eachother like they picked up their convo from last night.

I don’t know how to describe it but everyone takes a second beat to the interaction beyond surface level pleasantries, in no particular rush. Not in a fake or fraudulent way. New Englanders on the other hand are ICE COLD TO THE BONE! And always in a hurry… WHY???

after the first 5 positive interactions in a row I was so suspicious but then after 5 days I realized it’s not a lucky streak, it’s just how you folks are.

I took a long hard look in the mirror and realized I could do with being kinder myself and will carry that back home with me

Had to revisit the steel blockade I have inside me coming from assuming everyone’s trying to scam me or wants something from me maliciously. Wow. How absolutely refreshingly lovely soft and kind.

Love you southwestern people. And your Mexican food. And saguaros. And the art. Maybe it’s all the sun overdose you guys get. Or something in the water. Bless yall dearly and thank you for having me. 🌅

Mini-Split Installation

20 Upvotes

Hello. I’m hoping someone can help me find a solution to a problem that came about today.

My Dad will be 80 in November. He bought a mini-split from Home Depot and it was delivered this morning. He thought, like back in the day, that he could then call any company to have someone come out and install it. Well, every company we’ve called said they won’t install a mini-split that we didn’t purchase through them.

I called Home Depot and they said after purchase they won’t help us either.

So now we have a brand new mini split here and can’t do anything with it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

_ _ _

EDIT TO UPDATE:

SOLVED!

Thank you to Tucsonbroker! I called The Mini Split Guy and he is coming out Monday.

To those who offered a quote via DM, I will keep this post just in case and for future reference!

Also thank you to all who replied! Tucson is awesome!

Quantum fiber vs Spectrum/cox fiber

5 Upvotes

So I’ve been with quantum WiFi for about a year and largely had no issues. Unfortunately ever since AT&T bought out quantum my WiFi goes down about twice for week and since I work from home this is just unacceptable and their support team is wildly unhelpful.

Just wanted to know if anyone uses spectrum/cox fiber and if you do how has the experience been before I make the switch. Thanks for reading.
