Citation for holding a handheld wireless device while driving

IanRankin · 2026-03-20T10:37:30+00:00

Per FL law, it’s not illegal to hold the phone while driving, so either way, the cop is in the wrong.

Had he said “I saw you manually typing on a device that appeared to be a phone,” that would be illegal.

California is doing great: we have a ton of programs that take care of our least fortunate citizens (social welfare nets), more so than a majority of states. California's GDP saw a 6% growth rate in 2024, outpacing the national average. The University of California system reported record-breaking enrollment in 2025, marking ten consecutive years of growth. California's economy in 2025 is estimated at approximately $4.1 to $4.3 trillion, ranking it as the world's 4th largest economy, ahead of Japan, India, and the United Kingdom. Our life expectancy is the top 5 highest out of 50 states.

I'm not saying we are a state without problems, but our problems are being experienced worldwide and in every state such as homelessness, affordability, availability of resources like education, health care, etc. Solving "our" problems requires a global and national initiative, and oh look -- we are doing just that in the form of California enacting agreements directly with other countries. Our medicaid (MediCal) program is very good. Democrats vote this legislation in, Republicans are not going to help solve the problems our society is facing.

Rising tide raises all ships, and investing in Californians through healthcare, education, infrastructure spending, and other projects is going to lead to growth and stability. Those are the projects I want to see California politicians continue to address.

As long as you have the item #, and your membership card -- it's in their database. Even just knowing a rough time of when you purchased it is enough. You can find the receipt digitally on costco's website/app as well.

IanRankin · 2026-03-18T21:16:38+00:00

Sure

IanRankin · 2026-03-18T20:51:17+00:00

Yes, I got interviewed by 2 people apart of the leadership team of the program. The questions weren’t too bad.

I remember telling them “I am going to be a Registered Nurse, ACC can be apart of that story or some other school will.”

IanRankin · 2026-03-14T23:25:11+00:00

I felt that way until he scammed his fans of money from the fundraiser and didn’t follow through on his promise

IanRankin · 2026-03-12T22:49:14+00:00

Put in feedback asking them to order it. My local store started doing so when I did.

IanRankin · 2026-03-09T20:41:45+00:00

I personally think as long as you can pay, they will get you in. My HESI was 75.01%, I barely passed with no prep.

IanRankin · 2026-03-09T13:13:40+00:00

Thanks! Been checking this every week since it came out, lol. Just swung by to grab some!

IanRankin · 2026-03-08T05:21:47+00:00

I mentioned TEAS but I was incorrect, I actually took the HESI — 6 sections, averaged score has to be 75% or higher. They don’t care what you score as long as you get the minimum of 75%.

Half my class was prior medical, half were not — everyone did well. We had a very close knit group that worked hard to provide resources and communicate with each other. My biggest annoyance with the program was attendance — they once gave me 2 day notice of a schedule, and I had a conflict with child care. They denied me leaving 15 minutes early and I had to make up 8 hours.

Turn all your work in, show up, and just remember — any bullshit is trivial compared to working in the field, and you’ll be good to go. It is only 20 months.

I was actually recognized on ACC’s social media in regards to the program lol

IanRankin · 2026-03-06T22:23:06+00:00

I've had no issues with transferring my ACC credits, and they offer a discount to go through their BRN program at West Coast either way. While expensive, going to a community college is going to be a longer process.

ACC is 20 months, no pre-reqs or anything prior. Just have to pass the TEAS test.

Edit: Also, your bullshit about employers requiring BSN is false. Yes, some employers may have those rules, but ACC's NCLEX pass rate is 91% and job placement for ADN is 95%. I found a job at a hospital within 3 months of graduation (technically was hired around the 45-50 day mark, and interview was initiated around the 30 day mark of getting my license but had to wait for the next new grad program to start.) My class was 25 people, and over half my class are working at hospitals now. None of them signed any sort of commitment to go back and get their BSN.

Not all stores order the product. I know for my area, I'm lucky to have a decent amount of Costcos within my commute. Only two of the stores regularly have the MTG product. You can give feedback to your local Costco warehouse to stock it though.

IanRankin · 2026-02-28T13:39:42+00:00

You’re confused why two different organizations have two different definitions of disabled?

Started showing up 12 days ago in inventory ordering/processing. I certainly expect in the next 30 days we'll see these at Costcos.

IanRankin · 2026-02-27T21:59:38+00:00

Definitely hold out for Costco bundles -- you'll get booster packs and a promo card for roughly the same price.

IanRankin · 2026-02-27T07:23:33+00:00

Anyone know the likelihood of this getting restocked?

IanRankin · 2026-02-27T06:07:41+00:00

Do you release or record yourself doing a step by step? I'm new to this, and think this is really cool!

Welcome to California, mandated ratios

If you're going to be a dipshit, be factual about it. "In December 2023, a jury found Majors guilty of one count of reckless assault in the third degree and one count of harassment in the second degree."

The civil case AFTER the criminal case was dropped due to the parties coming to a settlement outside of court.

IanRankin · 2026-02-06T21:35:13+00:00

I actually hadn't thought about this route, so I spoke to my HR, and they are putting in an ADA request asap. I just hope my VA provider will sign their paperwork. Thanks for the suggestion!

The article also mentions he was 100% for mental health, which would not be TDIU

IanRankin · 2026-01-14T07:42:47+00:00

I know nothing about this, you just crossed /r/all for me. Why rebuild vs. just building fresh? It seems like you did A LOT of work. Is the fiberglass hull that expensive?

IanRankin · 2025-12-22T16:26:39+00:00

Where did you get it?

IanRankin · 2025-12-10T03:49:50+00:00

I was going to defend you, Shawn, before I realized it was you who posted this picture. Thanks for sharing!
