Questions about Moving What’s it like living in Southern Humboldt/Northern Mendo?

5 Upvotes

Curious about the stretch of 101 & surrounding areas from Laytonville to Mattole Road. If you’ve lived in the areas & have the local scoop, give me the good, bad & ugly. Particularly curious what the communities are like - it is a community oriented vibe where people look out for each other, or is it more like everyone does their own thing & doesn’t bother each other? Thank you!

Does anyone have a good tip for somewhere that carries a bunch of different hot sauces? Im specifically looking for Humboldt Hot Sauce. Any help is very much appreciated. :)

Review/Recommendation NORTHERN REALMS TRADING CARDS staff/owner possibly stealing prize cards for tournaments.

63 Upvotes

I signed up on the Bushi Navi app for the challenger’s cup for the Palworld TCG at Northern Realms Trading Cards a month in advance. My spot was confirmed for the challenger's cup event that was scheduled for 2pm PST on the 16th of October. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the handling of this event and to see if anyone else has shared this experience at this shop.

I arrived at the store at 12:50pm, they began the event 15 minutes later at 1:05pm, almost a full hour before the listed time. Upon arrival the store staff said the challenger’s cup event didn’t have the correct promos for prizing (Lovander’s top 4 card and serialized jormuntide ignis winner card). They stated they ran the grand challenger cup event "accidentally" a week before the scheduled date and gave out the cards then, even though no such update, date change, or event cancellation was done through the app we use for the tournaments. Additionally, one of the other competitors said he was at the event the week before at that location and no such event with prizing happened.

The store owner then ran the event as the "challenger’s cup" with the winner getting a booster box which totals up to 100$ of prizing vs the 3000$ card for 1st place and the 200$ cards for top 4 which is a total of 3800$ worth of prizing that just dissappeard.

All of the players and I have reported this store to the company that sponsors the tournament (BushiRoad) so I hope something gets done about it because this is a very suspicious situation and I hope all local players be wary of participating in tournaments at this shop.

Local Food Experience today at the Eureka Jack in the Box

My partner and I went to Jack in the Box today and they had restriped their parking lot. No signs indicating wet paint anywhere. I informed the manager that I had gotten paint inside my car and he said, "Don't care, Bye bye". This was all noticed after a crappy dining experience. Its not worth the effort to deal with this manager so I am reaching out to corporate. If you happened to go to the Jack in the Box tonight, check your vehicle and hit up the contact us link. here is the link for your convenience https://www.heyjackbox.com/

Review/Recommendation Musk documentary movie - Currently 12:45pm everyday in Eureka Broadway

86 Upvotes

I saw this movie with a friend today, and it feels like a big bombshell on an evil trillionare.

I watched and thought it was entertaining and shocking that I had to hold on to someone feeling scared.

The downside is that it is 4 hours long, and not for the faint hearted.

Watch this before Elon Musk pulls the movie away.

Review/Recommendation Rhizome and Queer Humboldt

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to not introduce my own personal experiences to avoid bias, anyone have experience with either or both places and would be willing to share?

From what a social worker told me from one of the organizations, it seems like there maybe a degree of conflict between the two organizations. But like 🤷 that’s one person. I’ve had another person cross refer to the other from the same org that said they don’t cross refer anymore due to safety concerns.

My intention is to have more context around forming my own opinions/ understanding bias of information since it’s just confusing.

Thanks!

Review/Recommendation Laptop hardware repair shop recommendations?

1 Upvotes

I have a Dell Latitude 5420 that recently stopped working, and after moderate research and trouble shooting I'm pretty sure it's a hardware/motherboard related problem. I'm looking for a place (hopefully not super expensive) where I can pay to have my computer diagnosed and most likely also repaired. I'm aware of a few different places just from searching Google and other Reddit Posts, but would really like people's personal recommendations, like which place stands out and why? Thanks!

Misc./Other Residential Solar in Humboldt

5 Upvotes

We recently got our residential solar system installed and functional. So, I'm now looking for folks to chat about actual details, operations, optimizations here in Humboldt under our practical conditions with the area, PG&E, & RCEA. I've asked my neighborhoods about their own solar installs, but most of them have no interest or only a vague idea about their own installs. So I thought I'd try here.

Our system is a roof-mounted (20 panels) grid-connected Sol-Ark 15k with Pytes batteries (32 kwh). We got PTO last month and everything seems to be working fine so far. I was able to export during the 6-8PM blocks during September and now have disabled battery exports until next fall. I have delusions of getting Home Assistant connected to the inverter, but I'm not very motivated into getting the hardware and software configurations setup. My specific interests are reducing the risks from the system and improving ROI.

From conversations with the installer, there are dozens of people similar setups every year, so I'd imagine the odds are pretty good at least some of them are on the subreddit. So, anyone out there interesting in sharing their observation and experiences?

Local News/Politics Letter Writer Follows Fortuna’s Money Ahead of Measure D Vote

12 Upvotes

When my last letter ran, my inbox and the Facebook threads filled up. Thank you. Why is the police department paid so much? Where does the money go? So… I went and dug. 

First, you should know where I started: my last letter argued against Measure D as written. Personally, I don’t think it’s a viable solution, only a temporary fix. This one isn’t a “vote yes” or “vote no” letter. I want you to have the facts. And we’ve been here before. In 2024, Measure P asked for the same 0.75% sales tax and lost, 42.5% to 57.5% (North Coast Journal). A poll done for the city this year found 46% in favor and 51% against, with a 7% margin of error (Lost Coast Outpost). Measure D is on the ballot, so here’s what you’re deciding.
