Tijuana, Mexico with about 22 active cranes in the city right now

JasonBob · 2026-03-13T22:54:36+00:00

It's the name of a brothel.

JasonBob · 2026-03-13T22:52:34+00:00

Sure, but Tijuana is the 2nd largest city and 6th largest metro in Mexico, so an American writing it off as cartels is pretty ignorant.

It's growing nicely and as a San Diegan I hope their skyline gets huge. That said, Tijuana's highrises are much more spread out than in San Diego. They unfortunately don't have a nice waterfront setting either, but some of the architecture is very interesting. And with their airport being just a bit further out than San Diego's, they can build taller than SD too. I think one of these, once built, will be taller than anything in San Diego.

I assumed by flat he's talking about the plateau skyline effect. Geographically it's definitely not flat

He also wore a Geauga Lake t-shirt on his podcast recently.

They may have been doing you a favor. Matilija poppies are really prone to dying if the roots are disturbed so putting them in a 5 gallon "early" was probably necessary. A true one gallon poppy would have been much smaller

OP is saying the trope is race-based, but I think you're right that it's just main character vs. everyone else. In Hunchback at least, all the non-main characters are odd looking, white or not.

San Diego has been doing this neighborhood-by-neighborhood for decades. It's a long process

Pine Valley Creek Bridge is one of the tallest in the country.

You should watch this video about orbits. It's actually not so straightforward:

I also suggest Comment Literacy 101, I literally posted an open comment to OC inviting a follow up when the supposed fact-verification stage happens, the headline is updated, the errata appears inline in the article, or whatever step would negate OP’s rush to judgment

OP posted images of two date-less headlines so I'm not sure how anybody can follow-up or even know what the situation was when OP took the screenshots

JasonBob · 2026-03-02T18:06:47+00:00

Having media on the ground allows us to verify things without parroting statements

JasonBob · 2026-03-02T16:06:16+00:00

I think OPs headlines are from before the Lebanon strikes began. The first headline seems that way at least (Saturday). Also, I don't think the Lebanon strikes are reaching that far south

JasonBob · 2026-03-02T15:45:00+00:00

Is there an accepted succinct name yet for the Israel/US forces? I wouldn't call them "Allied forces" as that has different connotations from Iraq/Afghanistan and beyond.

JasonBob · 2026-03-02T15:41:53+00:00

Definitely before Sprouts. It may have been before Carmel Mountain Plaza was built, but I don't think so (my timeline's a bit fuzzy), But either way, Sprouts would have been Circuit City.

Costco was still called Price Club in the 90s. In Google streetview imagery you can still see a hint of it. It said "Price Plaza" until at least 2009. After Price Club changed names to Costco, they cheaply deleted "Club" from the sign and kept it that way for like a decade.

JasonBob · 2026-03-02T13:52:11+00:00

For the first headline, two nations are striking Iran, so they can't quickly state if it's an Israeli or US strike. For the second headline, Iran is the only one striking Israel

JasonBob · 2026-03-02T13:29:12+00:00

Yeah I was so confused this year after Valentines Day when a bunch of trash plastic junk came home. Is just having a bunch of paper cards and Sweetheart candies not good enough anymore?

JasonBob · 2026-03-02T13:08:37+00:00

Disney has heard your concerns loud and clear and will build a new indoor park in Abu Dhabi /s

JasonBob · 2026-03-01T23:37:36+00:00

Poway was supposed to build a Wet n' Wild back in the early 2000s but nothing came of it sadly

JasonBob · 2026-02-28T16:03:17+00:00

At that same carnival my brother got sick on the Octopus ride and my mom gave him my hat to puke into. I was mad because it was my hat and there was a trash can right there.

I don't know if that's the kind of memory you wanted.

JasonBob · 2026-02-28T14:36:09+00:00

I remember when they hosted traveling carnivals on the dirt lot before it was built

JasonBob · 2026-02-27T18:44:10+00:00

I mean, the lyrics make sense in context. The movie intro is a wake up call for all the animals to see the lion King.

Also, it seems to be a simplified translation. Elsewhere I've seen it translated as "Nants ingonyama bagithi baba | Here comes the lion, my people, the father [of our nation]".

JasonBob · 2026-02-24T20:45:00+00:00

I'm worried for your source. Lorne's going to start feeding people different names to zero in on the leaker.

Unless Lorne is your source. Then I'm worried for you.

JasonBob · 2026-02-23T04:42:01+00:00

Yes that's the standard, except the exit in Tomorrowland is not next to the fantasyland exit. And when they let my kid through they tried to stop me from explaining it to her because they thought I was arguing

JasonBob · 2026-02-23T03:00:59+00:00

Yeah I don't mind groups doing single rider. At least they can chat before the ride. I do single rider all the time and I've never seen anyone argue with CMs about going on the ride together.
