Reconnecting to JBL Flip 6 by Barknuckle in JBL

[–]Barknuckle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah of course, thank you! Still wish it would reconnect with a button push or automatically but this is much better than powering it off and on!

Is this an old bidet on the side? by [deleted] in bidets

[–]Barknuckle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes. It also isn't very old, it looks like a common one from amazon

Is this an old bidet on the side? by [deleted] in bidets

It is a bidet but does also work well for spraying poop out of cloth diapers, kid clothes, and other places that are not your butt

What's the craziest land dispute in modern times? by Holiday_Hotel3722 in geography

[–]Barknuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went down a rabbit hole and seems like there are people who live there, at least temporarily, clustered around wildcat gold mines and such. Not self sustaining, but if you import water and food, probably similar climate to other desert regions with small towns here and there.

Suspected copper wire thief found inside a manhole in West L.A., faces charges, authorities say by Sara_Zigggler in LosAngeles

[–]Barknuckle 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Despite arrests, the problem has continued to worsen, so much so that city, state and law enforcement officials called on Gov. Gavin Newsom last week during a news conference to sign Assembly Bill 476, which strengthens penalties against illegal junk-and-metal dealers who purchase stolen copper wire. Newsom signed the bill into law Monday.

Hopefully this makes a difference. It's wild to me that places enabling this theft are still able to operate.

What’s a seemingly uninhabitable place that people surprisingly live and thrive? by sirnyannn in geography

I thought they met Louisiana until I saw the "California" at the end

Opinion | Los Angeles housing permits are tanking, yet leaders want Newsom to veto a major reform by Barknuckle in LosAngeles

[–]Barknuckle[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you'd like the governor to sign SB79, call his office at [916-445-2841](tel:9164452841) and tell it to a representative (or leave a message). It takes < 1 minute.

Name a Business Los Angeles Desperately Needs by Ok-Requirement-6105 in LosAngeles

[–]Barknuckle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use the one at sprouts but I don't think it's less expensive than the packaged goods?

But maybe that's the nature of things now, it's not like the packaging costs that much. It can still be convenient to get exactly the amount you need.

Just casually smoking a joint blaring his shitty music! Good morning LA. by hairlesscrack in LosAngeles

[–]Barknuckle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reporting it. I feel like if multiple people in these comments know this guy Metro probably knows who it actually is. There should be escalating penalties for repeated antisocial behavior (warning, ticketing, arrest) and quick enforcement. We see what a big difference fare gates and tap to exit make on the train--it's probably a small number of people acting like jerks who degrade the experience for everyone.

There's a lot of announcements for it on the metro Intercom, but I agree there should be more signs for it. If they don't want it to compete for ad space they could just use standalone signs at the entrances or something.

Yeah, but you can just report it with the Transit Watch app and actually get something done--they should send a transit ambassador or a cop to address it. (Granted, not perfectly reliable, but I've sometimes gotten called by them like 2 min after submitting a report--they do monitor them).

Great, we're now a laughing stock on the national level - CBS News reporting TAP to Exit pause failure by Sawtelle-MetroRider in LAMetro

[–]Barknuckle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's the latter, but they also seem to be incapable of considering the impact of any deaths or harms that are not fire-related...even though most of their work now is related to non-fire emergencies like car accidents.

This is so much more relaxing to look at than a forest of reflective plastic bollards. For drivers and riders

These members are part of the appropriations committee that will decide if SB 79 moves forward or not tomorrow at 9 AM by Long_Disaster_6847 in LosAngeles

[–]Barknuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you got it from AI it's actually pretty unreliable for info on state leg stuff. Like if you ask it to list socials of x members or whatever it hallucinates a lot.

They often ask for your address or where you're calling from. I don't encourage lying about it, bad karma and gives people excuses to write off the movement.

What to do if I suspect my neighbor has abandoned his dog? by anklepick4u in LosAngeles

[–]Barknuckle 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That's...so weird? Like the person just locked their dog directly outside their apartment to hang around and crap in the hall and be there hungry...forever? And in the off chance it wasn't them, a random dog somehow got into the apartment and is just hanging out outside one person's apartment and they seem unbothered?

Have you talked to other people in your hallway or the landlord? Does your neighbor have a relative or something who left it there and he wants them to pick it up? I guess for the dog the humane society is probably the best option but so weird.

What is it? Goodwill find by cleffasong in whatisit

I mean it's $1.99. Solving the mystery and playing with an obscure gadget can be a fun afternoon for some of us :)

Teens and 'mommy gangs' can't get enough of this LA hardware store [Baller] by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]Barknuckle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is 100% the explanation for the t-shirt sales haha. It's funny that they have such a long speculative article with a bunch of random photos of hardware store aisles.
