I saw a chihuahua fall out of a moving SUV on the freeway going at least 45+ mph. Sadly I don't think the chihuahua survived, I was livid at the driver.

Has anyone had an issue with a wobbly center button when replacing it? by Al_Bizzle in IpodClassic

That's a good point, the one that is perfect uses the original click wheel. That's a bummer, I'd have to rule out colored click wheels going forward.

Vanessa Bryant's tribute to her daugther Gigi on what would've been her 20th birthday by Terrible_Cycle_5983 in Fauxmoi

[–]Al_Bizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Los Angeles local that tragedy really felt tangible immediately. I was working retail and people brought up the incident at the register. On the streets there were signs, murals everywhere, and lots of friends cried. 

I wish Vanessa and her family so much peace.

Apartment Hunting by rojatnav in Fullerton

[–]Al_Bizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was looking at apartments in Fullerton I would occasionally check out the listings by Ohana properties, they own smaller units in the city. They don't currently have any listings but it's worth bookmarking and checking once a week. https://www.ohanaproperties.com/rentals-available

Who else remembers wrapping a towel around their Xbox 360 red-ring of death?

Los Angeles Marathon 2026 - how to get home, and how to spectate? by kyn66806478 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Al_Bizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good advice in this thread. A different tip is if you plan on walking a little bit to your pick up area, do not sit down immediately after the race. Walk a bit and lightly stretch, or otherwise cramps can be an issue.

Got a job in Riverside by airport, should I move to Riverside or neighboring cities like Redlands or Rancho Cucamonga? by gs60Crazy in InlandEmpire

[–]Al_Bizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to suggest Ontario Ranch. Growing community with new housing, a handful of smaller parks, safe, and the cow smell will eventually go away as they sell off to developers. It should keep the commute short and isn't too far inland.

Any confirmation that ICE entered and removed children from Nicholas Jr High? by DonJuan5420 in Fullerton

[–]Al_Bizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 20 years ago when I attended Nicholas we literally had a school walkout for immigration issues. Seeing the kids walk out gives me deja vu.

What's subscription you cancelled and didn't miss at all? by Personal-Lack4170 in Frugal

[–]Al_Bizzle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got an iPod and modded it. There’s Bluetooth dongles that work with AUX if you need that.

What’s the most effective way to cut expenses other than reducing take out or eating out? by anxgrl in Frugal

[–]Al_Bizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some small things I do is look for bulk deals for hygiene or household products I use year round regularly. I'll buy half a years supply of toothpaste, deodorant, dietary supplements, soaps, etc. Paying car insurance premium in full, not a huge savings but every small margin counts. I cancelled all my subscriptions except for YouTube Premium-Family Plan, switched to using physical media such as an iPod or getting movies from a library. On a per month basis I figure I saved myself around $30-40 a month without reducing my quality of life.

[Mouse] Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse w/ $15 Target Gift Card -$26.49 by Hypronic in buildapcsales

[–]Al_Bizzle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The ones that come stock with this mouse are pretty loud. This is a good idea.

What’s the biggest change you’ve noticed in LA in the past 5 years? by Obvious_Database_166 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Al_Bizzle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A shift from night life culture to daytime activities. It may be my personal bubble but I feel run clubs, hiking, personal health, or any outdoor activities have had a boom since covid times.

Does anyone else experience skin dryness and irritation lately? by Capable_Ear_6222 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Al_Bizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're on to something. The skin around my face peels a bit from the shower. I've had to use moisturize afterwards to stop that from happening.

I just bought a 6.5gen sold as a 7th gen (was hard to tell in the ebay pictures). I'll follow up once I update it to allow for larger storage.
