No it really isn't, unless you're talking top 5. Someone from UCLA is not going to get any more special treatment than someone from Cal State Fullerton at my company, and most others. It certainly doesn't matter once you get to the interview stage either. You have to sink or swim without any...

Can you even tell a korean woman from a taiwanese one every time? I mean, some of my korean friends joke that they go into restaurants in Irvine and the people will start speaking Madarin to them lol.

Good reason to date outside your culture then!

I really think name brand colleges are over rated unless you're talking absolute S tier (CalTech, CMU, MIT, Stanford). I see a lot of Ivy and UC folks struggle to get into where I work (and some make it in), and some people get in with state schools or even without degrees. College prestige...

Rivian has bezos bucks backing it. I really like Lucid but that's the company I'd be most worried about disappearing in the next couple years.

That makes it seem like she was yelling at the potatoes...

I'm not sure I want a 'fancy' car as a daily driver, and i'm also worried about depreciation on electric cars. I don't care too much about my Model 3, because I basically treat it as a nice 'beater' car, it's comfortable, requires no maintenance, cheap to drive, and the back is filled with...

If you get the app, you can always get $2 off any combo, and they regularly have even better promotional deals if you're not picky about which combo to try. The other day I got a Dave's Double for $2 through the app!

I love having an EV as a daily driver (tesla Model 3), but it's not as fun as my previous BMWs. I went to look at getting a weekend Porsche to scratch that itch, insane how much money they are for 8 year old cars with 40k miles. Might have to wait a few more years of RSUs...

Why didn't you go to like, Aliso Viejo or Mission Viejo if you loved Irvine that much?

drugs make some people super happy. Have you seen SF? buncha junkies walking around like zombies happy as can be.

Rodrigos is some of the least interesting mexican food I can think of. Go to Super Mex, go to Taco Factory, Avilas, pretty much anywhere.

I haven't been in a few years, but Paul Martin's at the Spectrum had the best cheeseburger hands down I've had anywhere. It used to be around $12, but I think so many people would order it compared to their otherwise less than memorable more expensive entrees, they raised the price every year...

I want some nice built in bookshelves for my office. Any recommendations on companies or contractors, and any idea what it would cost?

haha, no I have no idea what that means. I work at one of the bigger tech companies in Irvine.

wait we might work at the same company :unsure:

wow, so you are ponying up 3M without even selling your home? Congrats, and you must be doing well career wise :O

I do go up to the Bay regularly for work, and that will go on the list, but when i'm in the Bay these days I try to eat as much as I can at the free cafes since I don't get free dinners down here in OC :p

Never been to Capital Grille for steak. How does it compare to Mastros, The Ranch, Bourbon Steak, or A Restaurant? Those are all my top steak places.

BB.Q Chicken is pretty great, love the spicy galbi sauce (and it's not too spicy). Angelina's pizza in Irvine is phenomenal, maybe only bested by Mozza in Newport Beach. I eat here way too much. Hakko's Katsu is one of the few places I feel like I get a good deal these days. It's not cheap...
