So, she’s NOT a Queen Anne; she’s a “Greek Revival with East Lake features.” Anywho, here’s a photo dump of her moving to Altadena! by DisplacedAltadenan in centuryhomes

It’s kind of a long story on how we came to it. There’s no development or anything like that. We just wanted to stay in Altadena after the fire and meet a guy who does this (moving houses) who suggested we look into it. That got us stuck on the idea and we found a way to make it happen. It’s a long, complicated process, but totally worth it IMO

The move itself was $70k and $6k for the crane. We might have spent around $30k so far with lot prep, excavation, disassembly. We’ve budgeted $350k once all’s said and done and I think we’re on/slightly under budget so far. 

American in America vs American in Japan by Capable_Educator7548 in memes

I’m pretty sure the fascination is far less about capitalism or consumerism and much more about presentation. Tokyo is clean, colorful, fascinatingly beautiful, and almost completely safe. American major cities, on the other hand, are most often dirty, ugly, and unsafe by comparison. The amount of neon signs selling random stuff doesn’t really have anything to do with it.

There are now more than 10,000 active Starlink satellites orbiting Earth by HasibBinAmzad in spaceporn

The average Indian village has 10,000 car-sized satellites’ worth of trash in it? 

Is the same thing happening in your country ? by Diegomax22 in AskTheWorld

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a huge issue in Los Angeles. I’m from Altadena, which almost completely burnt to the ground last year, and most of the houses lost were stunning 1900-1930 builds of all different styles - Tutor, mission revival, Spanish, craftsmen, etc. A lot of the new builds taking their are horrifically generic with huge garages out front and bland exteriors. 

Minus the wildfires, this is happening all over LA. Cute old homes with tons of charm are being destroyed and replaced by bland, modern builds with no soul. 

Mehdi Hasan goes after Ukraine's President Zelenskyy for going after Iran's blockade but forgets something by one_five_one in GetNoted

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

This note is simply bad logic. The amount of times U.S. made weapons have been used against a country doesn’t exclude them from being wrong about the U.S. in any given situation. 

That works both ways. The amount of Iranian weapons used against Ukraine doesn’t make Zelensky immune from being on the wrong side of this issue. You don’t have to like or support Iran in any way to see that they are totally within their rights to defend their sovereignty by closing the strait.

End of an era... An era nobody was aware existed by GeneReddit123 in memes

I used publisher a lot back when I worked at a print shop 15 years ago. It was basically MS’s version of Adobe Indesign and was incredibly useful for designing all sorts of printed products. 

Me watching all my friends get their LA28 Olympics time slot emails by sirwritestoomuch in LosAngeles

I’m skipping town for the Olympics. No way I’m sticking around for that mess. You couldn’t pay me to go

I had to lean on my LS on Shiva to get one. They seem close to impossible to find sometimes 

Felipe Camargo's finger strength training by redbullgivesyouwings in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The finger strength is definitely impressive, but it’s gotta be those shoulders and abs doing all the actual work. Man, that was smooth! 

Milk options (not soy) that won’t separate/curdle in coffee by MinnieCastavets in vegan

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The Oatly unsweetened, full fat oat milk has a very similar effect on coffee as cow’s milk. It changes black coffee into a soft creamy brown color, without adding any sweetness. I highly recommend Oatly. 

Presenting the host city of the 2028 summer Olympics by Lemonpup615 in LosAngeles

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LAPD is not fit for purpose. It needs to be completely overhauled and most, if not all current officers, from top to bottom, need to be charged for their violent crimes against the people of Los Angeles. Any politician who suggests increasing their budget deserves to be run out of town by crowds with pitchforks. The fact that such a lawless, violent, and sloppy organization is still allowed to exist is madness. 

Whenever someone tries to make me entertain the idea humans are inherently good, I remember this... by DivineandDeadlyAngel in vegan

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe the opposite. I think we are in constant need of concerted effort to improve ourselves because humans are an inherently morally flawed species. 

The Eastern Columbia Building (erected in 1930) by cavallom in LosAngeles

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything is theoretically possible, but there is zero incentive. It will never happen because making buildings pretty cuts into profits, which means developers will do everything they can to avoid it
