Hello! I've been trying to break the healthcare system in california within the health admin realm and its a lot harder than expected coming from the midwest. Wanted to see if anybody knows how many follow ups are too much? I had my first round of interviews 4/28, loved me and moved me to the second round immediately. I am meeting a total of 6 program directors, 2 are general physicians and the other 4 are sub specialties. I met the 2 general the thursday of the same week, 1 sub specialist, and another sub specialist friday. Monday i follow up asking for an update when i will interview the last two and they let me know that they were wrapping up mid that week and they would let me know once they get their schedules. It is now Tuesday the week everything my last follow up and i still have not heard back. Should i follow up again?

It happens every year and especially in the summer
Some people wanna talk about pride in our city, well why do we tolerate such behavior from tourists?

Hi hi! I'm a 20 year old living in the RB area. I'm about to get my general associates at the end of this month (May 2026). I've been working a part time retail job for almost 3 years now and need full time work, the place where i'm currently at is a literal shit bucket (didnt get any extra pay for literally mopping up shit for 4 hours and i'm DONE, another story for another time). I want to become a freelance illustrator but in the meantime I need full time work and I swear I either can't find it, nobody in a reasonable distance is hiring, or I get ghosted. Been searching for months and desperately need help 😭😭😭

[TLDR] Need advice on job hunting as a 20 year old in RB 🥲🙏

Go to the r/SanDiego sub ... as I can't post pictures in this sub and it won't allow for the crosspost.
We'll announce the location once we get it secured!

Luna Tone

Luna Tone

ABV: 6.5%

Hops: Simcoe, Mosaic and Krush
Yeast: not listed.

After previously reviewing some of the backbone WC IPAs from Harland (including their Hazy IPA) I decided to try a something a little different with a lighter IPA that isn't quite so hop forward.

Luna was a nice name and since there was a full moon this evening, I ordered a pint.
Upon first sips I got a 5 second mark of peaches and pear notes (surprise).. and muted hops.
But it was a bit sharp on my tongue... so I let it breathe and warm up a little.

Gently Swirling, I was able to get more hop grassness upon the nose but again... there's lots of muted potential given this hop list. This is really a *light* WCIPA and kinda in a Czech Pilsner level of continued bitterness to it ( a lingering hop bitterness at the end)
I really don't know how else to describe this otherwise.
It's drinkable and will do well for a summer day but at 6.5% it's prevents me from calling it "crushable"..

Again after letting it sit, another swallow 3 seconds of hop pine bitterness that gives way to citrus grapefruit, those slight stone fruit notes are gone now. With this beer, there's fruits in there, they're kinda subtile until the grapefruit starts to come forward, but NOWHERE near a New England IPA Hazy, again you have to search for it a bit.
The ending at 5 seconds is a smooth lingering hopiness that doesn't overpower
So I can see how this as a more traditional feminine name... it's a softer more gentile touch of the WC IPA's

It's a good beer, especially for those that aren't into the more pine and resin forward hoppy WC IPA's that for many would be too overpowering, this makes a nice introduction as a person might want to work their way up.

I remember when I started drinking Pilsner Urquell that the owner of a wine bar I used to frequent carried it on tap in the early 2000's, that really got me started switching over and away from wine and into the burgeoning local craft brewing we had ramping up here. This is kinda like that... to the West Coast IPA's a more gentile introduction to whats possible. :D

The Board this evening:

The board 4.30.2026

I live in Kansas, my son lives in Pacific Beach in his van. with his gf and two dogs. I don’t know what I can do for him, I am only able to send money when I can and that’s not often. I am desperately trying to get him off the streets but idk what I can do for him. he does get a bit of food stamps. they do door dash some but gas is so expensive I don’t know how long they can keep driving. I have called the Compass Station and the lady said they don’t offer much assistance, just point people in the right direction. does anyone have any suggestions or is anyone living in that area that could offer my son a job? he has done construction and landscaping with his dad. he’s only 21 but he’s a hard worker and fast learner. he’s had a rough life and just needs someone to give him a chance. please I am begging anyone to legitimately help me.

For those that don't know, u/HowardkinSD, has passed away as of March 10th of this year.

He had a long struggle with an array of physical health issues that over the years had him hospitalized and medicated in different ways, he was a committed mod and refused to stop checking and moderating even from his hospital bed, if that says anything about moderation... I don't know what does.

He, was our first fellow mod that I had personally added over a decade ago, after my joining the founding mods team here. Known as "Howard", he was a valued member of the revolving door of team members and worked as a senior mod for years for r/SanDiego  when this was a much smaller piece of the internet.

He's the one that got the automod up and running first on the old reddit site, along with writing and managing multiple bots that we (and other teams) use to help manage the increasing traffic in their communities. His work and helping to build the "bones" of this sub's functioning are retained to this day and I've always been thankful for that.

Many of you have unknowingly interacted with him over the years, as he preferred to not post publicly under his account and say out of the spotlight, but he directly handled much of the daily content policing we had here during the "wild times" of reddit. Long before the site went corporate, it was a pretty different place and I really needed the help he provided. Howard, was quite active here until his health issues became too much to handle the unique pressures of this diverse community and it was agreed that he should take a step back. Doing so wasn't in his nature, but he eventually agreed a few years ago to do so.

The required assorted steroidal and other medications he was prescribed, easily interfered with his mood and it's known to cause aggression and volatility issues and the stresses weren't good for him. It's these that had me personally taking heat from users as I frequently tried to cover for him and smooth things out with disgruntled users. Our different approaches confused more than a few with a "ying and yang" moderation some people experienced here. Sorry, those were difficult times (made worse by the attacks and disinformation manufactured by another community) compounded by reddit site admin policies of "team unity, not publishing modmails".

Regardless of all of that, Howard was dedicated and loved this city... He only wanted the best for it and helped to build this sub into a top 1% community on the site... growing it from the time of his addition of about 25K to over 350,000 subscribers ( at the time of his departure ).

While he continued to work and help the people of the city (and other communities he founded subs like r/dontdeadopeninside) while he kept running r/AskSanDiego and then r/SanDiegoClassifieds (until the time of his passing). Howard also joined a nice array of other (somewhat ironically "easier subs" like r/WTF, r/ScienceMemes , r/CatMemes and r/CrappyDesign ) on reddit helping to manage multiple millions of subscribers each to his mod list. (not an easy thing to do either)

I wish I could say more here, but the site rules regarding releasing personal info are preventing me.

Just know that for all the good and the bad,  u/HowardkinSD will be missed around here
( I seriously mean that, as I've said before that we built this space together)
He made an impact in developing this "digital public town square" for people to use and benefit from as he did in other communities on this site (his work with the digital world goes all the way back to the late 1980's)

I've notified the other teams he was apart of last week of his passing, as some of his bots have ceased their functioning.

These other mod teams (with members from around the world) are also discussing announcements and tributes to honor his memory, this is our tribute as well as this next "Friday's Beach BonFire" will be held in his name.

RIP Howard.
^(You'll be missed, you cantankerous old fart.) 😃

He is survived by his son and other family.

Societé Brewing is a mainstay for a lot of people and I've taken family here as part of a beer tour when they visited. One thing that I impressed upon them was how "beer changes" as it warms up from being cold.

There's a lot going on with the evolving flavors that make appreciation of the chorus part of the art in craft brewing that I appreciate most.

So this is one fairly new to me.

Bulbous Flowers.
Given the naming scheme that Societé has used over the years, this one leaves me curious.
Are they thinking of a woman or a still life painting?
Whatever, I got a full pour to find out.

Bulbous Flowers

Bulbous Flowers

ABV 7%
Hops: Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic.
Yeast: Not listed (I asked)

Well, it's no secret that I like Citra and Simcoe hops.
and Citra call out really isn't me being a expert when I went up to ask the tender (since they're not listing these on the board) it was basically "a given" that was part of the mix here.
^(if pressed, I believe I would have guessed "simcoe", but that's me gaining confidence here with being able to identify these things vs actual fact.. all of these are closely related hop varieties and share common genetics to be perfectly honest.)

I'm not getting much, just a faint hop nose after letting it rest and warm up a tad.
There's a lot of competing smells here in the room. It's getting busy on a Saturday evening and ONCE AGAIN mixed groups of people are coming in with ladies wearing floral perfumes are kinda making it difficult to pull things apart.
To complicate that, there's the couple that brought menya-ultra as take out to two tables over. Guess, it's all part of this being a dog (but not poodle) friendly place.

Swirling is lending more grass and light hay rising to the surface along with ethanol.

Tasting this hazy (which are increasingly popular) theres sweet tropicals, melon a *hint* of mango. I got bubblegum with my first (cold) sip and that entertaining for sure .

Simcoe is a very good hop in my opinion for it's smooth taste and flavors it imparts.
I like this hazy, it' not as forward as Bearing Beards Dreamer Deceiver, I prefer that for a bit intense and complex tropicals for a NEIPA due to the yeast they used. They might be using the yeast same here as i'm getting the tropical, mango and vanilla, plus the mouthfeel - didn't I say that there was bubblegum at the beginning?
Anyway yeasts are a wild thing that so many people overlook, this brew is a bit more subdued than others though

A interesting ride and transformation as the beer sits and warms up a bit. The tropicals and complexities start to take stronger hold, I'm still not getting any hop bitterness but the tropical fruits umping out, wanting to be heard, along with a creamy mouthfeel that makes this another good beer that I expect will be quite popular during the summer season, one that is crafted in response to consumer demands.

I think that everyone in the area knows Societe Brewing
They're well established here in the area and I see their cans- cases all over.

So I wont review their long established (award winning) beers

I'll try "Dagger"

Dagger 4.25.2026

ABV 7%

Hops: Strata, Mosaic, (Mosaic Cryo), Amerillo

This arrived with a conservative head on it
The nose didn't give me anything until I let it warm up and rest.

Then a hop grassiness followed by a slight grapefruit rind and menthol.
upon sipping the mouthfeel was a mixture of things.

Mostly there's a slight "bite" to it that really struck me aspart of a citrus flavor, it's not strong but noticeable before a bit of pine & hop bitterness at the 3-5 second mark.
Finishing up after that with a mix of slight fruits and citrus with a lingering grapefruit and hoppy taste that emerges at the end and lasts a bit (30 seconds+)

I don't know exactly how I'll feel about this to be honest, it's a classic ride as a WC IPA and that's good,but I'm not "Wow!-ed" by it. I tend to not like mosaic hops maybe it's the woody & herbal aspects to it's profile. It just doesn't work for me (the currant might be coming through with the cryo extraction) Either way, this one is a pass for me if there's other options... this just isn't my type of girl. (YMMV)
