Hey VCers, my house has a few kW of NEM1 solar already, and I’m looking for a battery/storage/powerwall installer that I can actually trust when it comes to the finances and credits. Got a recommendation?

Anyone have / know of an honest, reliable, trustworthy independent car insurance agent? I want to shop around for new car insurance after being with the same company for 3 years.

Like, is it just a box, or is it like it would be on election day with people there?

I've always voted in person, but we wanted to do it early this year. Our usual place offers early voting starting November 2, but it just says "ballot drop off location".

Anyone voted early in person before, specifically in Cam?

You might be asking why it would matter if it's just a box or not, and I have a very clear answer. Just hear me out: how would I get my sticker if it's just an unmanned box?

Hello everyone, I have always been interested in boxing since I was a kid. I’m stationed out here in with the navy and I was wondering if there was any boxing gyms that I could learn to train at. I am new at boxing but I’ve watched it all my life

Vandenberg Guardians and Airmen are scheduled to support a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch of 20 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East, in the early morning hours of Tuesday, October 29th. Liftoff is targeted for 4:44 a.m. PT, with backup opportunities available until 5:40 a.m. PT. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Wednesday, October 30 starting at 4:07 a.m. PT.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch at https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionld=sl-9-9 and on X @SpaceX.

You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific

Anyone know what is going on at Emma Wood. Lots of Navy guys, high level equipment and a good-sized drone. My guess is they are looking for something but .... Asked one guy and he said that info was above his pay grade.

What is the best dispensary in the county? Best quality and best prices. Just visiting for a couple weeks and am looking for some good bud but without getting ripped off. Thanks!

Who can you contact to report a sea lion in distress? I just saw a sea lion down by baby beach with a cord tight around its neck. Is there someone I can contact to report this? Hopefully so they can help? It moved around freely, but you can tell there is something there.

One of our lamp post heads broke and we can't find a replacement. It looks to be made of a cement mix over metal bars, approx. 10 in. tall & 7 in. diameter. Are there any sculptors or ceramic/pottery hobbyists local to Ventura County that can make another one? Might consider 3D printing but it would need to be scanned. What would it cost? DM. Thanks

10 Years ago this November my teenage son and I visited California for a Tyler the Creator concert festival. One day we went to Neptune's Net and left headed north along the coast two my sister's house in Ventura. We stopped after driving (if I remember correctly) not too terribly far from the restaurant when we noticed some groups of people up on a hill to watch the sunset. My son has since passed and I am returning next week to put some of his ashes in that spot. I just don't remember exactly where it was. What I remember is that there was a guardrail right on the edge of the highway that we puled over at really quickly. There were people up on the hill to the east of the highway in small groups looking out at the sunset. There was no "beach area" really. People have suggested Point Mugu but that does not look right. Nothing was happening between highway and the ocean. I have attached a pic. I realize this could be a picture of no telling how many places in that area. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m curious to know which measures you’re passionate about and what your reasoning is for voting yes or no. Try to leave out your political affiliation so I can feel like I’m getting a non-biased opinion. Thank you so much for your time.

Looking for a place (vet etc) that you’d recommend to do a bath for a dog and a cat both with fleas.

Was thinking I could drop them off for the day and then while they are there, go back home to vacuum, wash everything, etc.… And then give them their flea treatments 🤞

I know it’s not going to be cheap so would prefer if it works- for that and also for all our mental and physical health. 😣 Thanks in advance!!

Hey everyone!

I’m a 30F black queer and in need of a hair braider in the Valley. I’m looking for hair braiders in the SoCal Valley area to do my hair in November. I’m based in Thousand Oaks, but I’m open to traveling to neighboring cities like Moorpark, Simi Valley, Ventura, or Oxnard, etc.

I’m looking to get mid-back length box braids with colored tinsel braided in the weekend of November 22-24 and have flexibility with time. If anyone has recommendations for skilled braiders who specialize in natural Black hair, please let me know!

Please DM me for contact details; this is a serious inquiry. I typically go to Pasadena or LA but that’s a trip and I’d love to support local talent, especially anyone with experience in box braids, twists or other protective styles.

Thanks in advance for any leads or personal recommendations!

What’s up people of Ventura? I drive the 33 South from Ojai everyday. I’ve noticed, for the past month or so, a private patrol company car driving the levee between the River and Freeway. What’s up? Doesn’t the Sheriff cover this section? Who is paying for the patrol?

Hello I (27M) am looking for a book club. I currently live in Oxnard and am trying to get back into reading. I enjoy reading all genres but I do lean towards fantasy books. Books that I enjoyed reading are The Count of Monte Christo, The Fifth Season, East of Eden and The Green Bone Saga.

I am looking for recommendations for an English composition teacher. I would prefer to take the class online. However, I recently had to withdraw from my online math class due to the unprofessionalism of the teacher (not grading homework, relying solely on YouTube for lessons, not responding to emails, etc.), and I cannot afford to fail another class. I really need some advice for this English composition class. Thank you.

Helping someone search one that may not be so traditional. They have health issues and cannot sit through a loud worship session with live bands etc. Does anyone know of one that's more on the "relaxed, calm" side? Also preferably one that doesn't separate the children as they want to attend as a family and learn and grow together. They said a huge plus if they don't celebrate Halloween. If anyone knows of any, please pass on the info so I can pass it on as well. Thank you!

My brother needs my help finding sober living facilities around Ventura, I’ll be doing some googling and calling and visiting.

But in addition to that, I was wondering anyone had any personal experience with any around here?

Is there one you recommend? Or any I should absolutely avoid?

Apparently there is bioluminescence waves in SoCal rn, and I saw that that they are supposed to be as north as Point Mugu. Has anyone had any luck seeing the waves at a beach? Any reccs?

All the drop boxes are filled with ballots. Keep it up! VOTE!!!

I finally got accepted!!

Need some advice please!!

However I just moved and now my rent is 1600. I don’t know if I can afford to work only Part time while going to school (and I work 12 hour shifts)

They said I can defer once but they can’t guarantee when the next invite would be sent

I’m mostly wondering if anyone here has deferred before and how long it took until you got asked to attend?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a home inspector that has experience with new construction? I’m a real estate agent, but don’t have a resource that typically deals with new construction.
