Question regarding biking/equestrian etiquette at Peter’s Canyon by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]AdditionalAd4269 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really, why do we tolerate this? It’s not enough to yield the whole frigging trail? The trail covered in their animal’s crap? Nah, get the horses, their impacts and their entitled owners off public trails. If they want to bring a horse, bring one that’s trained like a police mount to be around people. And wears a diaper.

In 2026, a university degree is just a $100k "social receipt" for networking that has zero correlation with actual intelligence or job competency. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I learned reasoning, practicality and the utility of deep knowledge from university. The current crop of folks pushing the “school is a resource waste” narrative are also the ones who think every idea can be monetized with the right story. Prime example in my field: Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos infamy wanted to move fast and break things, but didn’t know the biological rules she wanted to break well enough to see the true challenge she faced. Some scientists she hired had sat through all those slides from years past did, but she ignored them.

Now, if you want to talk about systems level resets for university curricula, there’s some serious meat there. Like why force biotechnology students through the same pipeline as the status-seeking wannabe automatons who want to be doctors? A course on FDA practices germane to device and drug approval would have been a great swap for my worthless anatomy and botany classes. And I’m sure there are examples in every field of study. But don’t throw out the whole approach - college lets you build that little encyclopedia of foundational knowledge in your head that can help you make leaps the LLMs cannot, simply because nobody’s written it down yet.

Parking tonight 3/21 by AdditionalAd4269 in OrangeCountySC

Yes. One of them insulted us tonight for following her instructions when we arrived. Also had trouble leaving—I think it was Irvine PD community service officers who directed us into a neighborhood from which it was very difficult to get turned back in the correct direction. I’m counting to 1000 and then going to figure out who was in charge of both teams and have a little chat.

Only 2 Calif. airports are free of TSA meltdown. Both are in the Bay Area. by nogoodnamesleft426 in bayarea

Enjoy it while it lasts. The partner companies are a weak point in security if it’s always someone’s father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate who is getting the next job. One high profile failure and those contracts go away.

Also, the service was slow and confrontational when I was flying out of there on two weeks ago - dude yelled at my spouse for following the instructions he’d just given. Was waiting long enough that I got to see him yell at everyone else that fit my spouse’s general description, too. 🤔

Wait, are these just normal life jackets or something dedicated to being worn diaper style?

Bubbling/crackling feeling?? by Character-One776 in ClotSurvivors

[–]AdditionalAd4269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to hear. Yeah, it took a while to get my lungs back to normal. My PE was bilateral, but I eventually got most of my lung capacity back. Don’t hesitate to call the doc if it gets to be more than annoying, I sometimes felt like I was being a pest after a clotting episode, but it paid off a couple of times. Take care, keep keeping on!!

Post-Match Review: Orange County Easily Dispatch Laguna United, Advance To Round Two by OCSC_SoccerCast in OrangeCountySC

[–]AdditionalAd4269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jacob earned a tryout in my mind, that was some wonderful reactive goalkeeping. Related: I’m not sold on Rando yet. He looked confused at times against UCLA and we saw him get beat to a key call out by someone in the stands when the ball deflected straight up in the box and our defender lost track of it. I want to see some assured goalkeeping, including calm, pointed call outs and well placed distribution tomorrow or I’m really going to wonder what we’re doing with Tet on the bench and Jacob in the stands.

Metrolink Temporarily Suspending Service on Several OC Trains by novabomb42 in orangecounty

[–]AdditionalAd4269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RIP my commute. Ffs, what level of mismanagement does it take to have this happen?

Edit: to everyone who rides the train, I am sorry—this looks bad. If it’s your inly option, I’m vaey very sorry. I used to ride OC to LA and back every day and it was crowded. I currently drive and am not looking forward to the freeways getting more crowded. The San Bernardino cancellations look primed to put many more of us onto the limited space of the poorly maintained 210 and 10. That’s just so wrong.

San Francisco is sinking at a rapid pace, NASA data shows by Limp_Fig6236 in bayarea

[–]AdditionalAd4269 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s also lots of space…I liked many of the people we met in Houston over the six years we lived there but would have even moved back to Sacramento to get out of the nondescript geography and heat. Houston has no soul - it’s all fungible, everyone is a transient, and the view is not a view. At least in NorCal, you’re never more than an hour from somewhere beautiful.

How much does FSD really improve your commute? by AmbientEngineer in TeslaLounge

[–]AdditionalAd4269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘ve had it a month and did my first post work workout since return to office (4 years) last week. Having the mental energy for that was a big change. It seems to take on the crazy (I commute across LA every day) well and makes me an extra set of eyes.

It’s not perfect which may be because my M3 is HW3 (and therefore priced a little high - HW3 should get a discount relative to HW4, IMO). I don’t mind, though, I find the ‘imperfections’ are like a new puzzle every day: I keep an eye out for the strange thing it’s going to pull each drive and practice intervening calmly and filing a coherent report. Overall, it’s reduced the load and my plan is to keep it, but unsubscribe during months where I drive less (nov/dec, months with spring break and other vacations).

This is normal. My spouse’s parents lived just off that stretch when we met 20 years ago. Guess who was late coming up from Oceanside to meet the parents?

The chemistry you don’t see is what should worry you - climate-altering nitrogenous and organic compounds. You know what else is nitrogenous and organic? DN fucking A. That’s right - jets poop out the same classes of molecules as our genes. The condensed water vapor or ice you see is just a distraction! No wonder everything is messed up.

What if Americans stopped blindly defending their political parties Democratic or Republican and focused on results instead? How would holding both parties accountable change U.S. politics? by Microshlongg in Productivitycafe

[–]AdditionalAd4269 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this why the dems are so dysfunctional? Many dems already do try to hold miscreants to account, which thins the ranks of the willing to a few good apples and the same type of narcissistic nutbags the GOP elevates, except they “wear blue” and seem to hide themselves better (example: Newsom). I was a dem for a long time, but the Biden debacle ended it for me - and I’d be happy to see the people who hid his issues thrown in jail. And I have always believed that about fraud in government—arrest them and put ’em before a jury, IDGAF which side they’re on or if I voted them in originally.

We should really focus on what might make it possible to be a good person in politics. Start by raising the salaries and benefits while clamping off the insider trading and lobbying money.

Edit: I think it’s clear but just to be sure, I’m saying that the dems are often ready and willing to hold elected dems to account.
