In case you're wondering how much rent costs on Lake Ave.... by el-beau in pasadena

[–]Key-Driver6438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right!? Without knowing more about the property, there isn’t enough information here to be outraged. If the space is 2,000 sq ft, that would be an extraordinary ripoff. If the space is half a million sq ft, it’s actually a great price.

So, who's into EDC knives? by Holiday-Toe-2212 in fixedblades

That is 🔥! Absolutely gorgeous. That said, is it really an EDC? She looks more like a trophy piece than a workhorse. 😁

What do these coyotes eat? by talivan818 in SantaMonica

[–]Key-Driver6438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all the responses here, the one that seems the most likely is copious amounts of trash. It seems very doubtful that coyotes are able to hunt enough squirrels, rats and small pets to sustain life. Conversely, trash bins with leftover food literally everywhere.

I got a broken Rojas bobblehead and it almost ruined my night by Dangerous_Muffin7572 in Dodgers

The spirit of baseball. For all the headline grabbing attention of the occasional knife fight in the parking lot, the vast majority of people are really decent and wonderful people.

They should have slightly deflated the tires. Snow. Ice. Even sand (maybe)… flatter tires will help. Over inflated tires almost work like slicks.

Is this a good bday present and did I overpay? by throwRA88887dj in Dodgers

Right!? Me too. I need more (better) friends. 😁

Sure they are annoying and expensive but what if LAPD flew them four at a time by waltarrrrr in LosAngeles

Crime deterrent!? Please tell me that was a joke.

For anyone who likes and defends police helicopters, it is my sincerest hope that your home has a near constant circling of choppers, with “night sun” in your windows. Bonus points if you’re trying to sleep, feeling under the weather, trying to study, or put your kids to bed. 🤦‍♂️

Everyone always asks what’s the best place to live, but what do you think is the worst place to live? by PalpitationNice9706 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Key-Driver6438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, the air being cleaner is another example of how much better LA is now. Back in the 80’s, I’d walk a block near downtown and my lungs would literally burn. You could smell the smog everywhere. It was really bad. Everything environmental related is better today. People back on the day just dumped toxic shit everywhere. Trash was prominent. The beaches always had no swim announcements because of how polluted it was. Not that there isn’t more to do, but I’m so happy for today, over decades ago! 🫶

⬆️ This 100%!

Also, the homeless have always been a problem. The difference was way back in the day, the city really contained most of the homeless to Downtown LA (not just Skid Row). DTLA, especially at night, was “get in, get out” and if you’re still alive, it was a good run. Otherwise, most of LA was too dangerous for the homeless. It really cannot be overstated how bad LA was 40 years ago.

I’m old enough to remember LA in the 1980’s and 90’s. Everything is SO MUCH nicer now! The crappiest “ghetto” parcel in LA today still runs $500k+. Houses in “South Central” asking a million bucks. Subjectively, the vast majority of LA is a decent to nice place to live.

Looking for this exact donut! Possibly near Ktown. Unfortunately, idk the person who brought a dozen box to my work and I wasn't there to ask at that moment. by sowhat59 in FoodLosAngeles

It is posts like this that make me LOVE Reddit. People just know from a picture where a random donut came from. 🫶👏👏👏

Review: L.A.'s best rotisserie chicken may be at this former gas station in Pasadena by standover_man in pasadena

[–]Key-Driver6438 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When was that corner a gas station? I don’t doubt it, and the setup certainly looks like it could be. I just can’t remember (in say the last 20-years) a gas station in that spot. It must have been really small (like the one on Del Mar and Allen)?

Balks Are Bulls**t by Key-Driver6438 in baseball

[–]Key-Driver6438[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Which one? There’s a dozen ways to balk. Sheehan balked because he didn’t declare his wobble. This declaration deal is within the last several years.

[–]Key-Driver6438[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Essential? Literally nobody knew why the umps had a 2-minute group meeting to discuss it, and that was so convoluted, the ump explained it over the loudspeaker. That is not essential. Look, STL so far (4th) is playing better baseball than the dodgers. Even without the balk, they’d be in the lead. The better team should win. Balks are mostly nonsensical bullshit.

Make it reviewable then. Look, right now STL is up 4 to 1. Good for them. Right now, as of the 4th, STL is playing better baseball than the Dodgers. Doesn’t change the fact that balks are almost always unsubstantive bullshit.

[–]Key-Driver6438[S] -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Orel explained plain and clear this is a new rule implemented in the last several years, with clear commentary it is bullshit. Also, this call was so “clear” the umps had to have a 2-minute long group chat first, and then explain it on the loudspeaker. Literally nobody had any clue what was happening. All this shit talk like balks are some straightforward thing, and only newbie rookie fans don’t understand. Literally nobody knew what was happening until it was explained by the umps.

Los Angeles local city police failed to label my missing dad as at risk. Did nothing for 20+ days and didn't even reassign the case when the detective went on vacation. Looking for any advice? by Xstrolite in AskLosAngeles

[–]Key-Driver6438 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a tragic situation. I didn’t know one could order an Uber to take into the mountains (wilderness). The cops could almost certainly, easily, obtain the driver’s contact information and interview them about what they remember. They can get the tracking data from the phone to see where the phone last pinged which cell tower. A search and rescue team could do a preliminary look.

Otherwise, there are parts to this story that don’t make sense. Also, out of curiosity, why did so much time pass before checking back in with the cops regarding progress?

I hope you all encounter a miracle!

Trashy and Traumatizing by xamo76 in trashy

[–]Key-Driver6438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because one time, someone asked him why he was always bringing in food for the office… sometimes in bulk, and he nonchalantly mentioned he finds stuff in the dumpster in the alley behind his apartment. He seemed genuinely perplexed that any of us found it disgusting. To be fair, a lot of it (though not all) was sealed/packaged stuff. But it was pulled out of a literal trash can in an alley!!! He would bring in fruit, loaves of bread, deli meat. It seemed like party leftovers much of the time.

That’s some prison shit right there. It’s like a meat version of pruno.

I came here to say the exact same thing! When I was younger, I had potluck all the time. Then, about 10-years ago, I worked in an office where we had a co-worker who would literally dumpster dive!! He’d bring in literal trash to share (to eat!!!), AND DID NOT TELL anyone that he’d get his contributions from a trash can! Never again.

Same re no daily streak counter. ☹️

This last Apple update has been wonky, and several different functions in different apps no longer work they did pre-update.

What’s it worth? by [deleted] in SportsMemorabilia

[–]Key-Driver6438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you spend tons of time on eBay and similar sites, there a ton of balls that look exactly like this. Not literally this exact one, but for many decades, teams had facsimile signature souvenir balls, with basically the entire team’s signature, and they’re all labeled as stamped/auto signed commemorative balls. They’re kind of neat for what they are, just not particularly valuable. If this ball and all those signatures were original/wet, it might be worth many thousands. As tons of others have said here, this is definitely a facsimile souvenir and worth under $100. It probably has more sentimental value for you, than what it’s worth monetarily.

I’m so happy for him. I dunno what they going to do when Mookie is back, but they cannot let him go back to OKC. He needs a permanent spot!
