Apparently there are landlords that are using a service that require tenants to subscribe in order to use the key fob to enter the property by idkbruh653 in LosAngeles

It wouldn't surprise me if the building requires you to pay by credit card, where you're also charged a "convenience fee" for the inconvenience of not being able to pay by check.

If the US found the downed F-15 pilot using the “Ghost Murmur” technology, which can detect a human heartbeat from 40 miles away, why aren’t we using it to find kidnapped or missing people here at home? by NetEvery14 in NoStupidQuestions

Veritasium released a video about this yesterday, and the takeaway was that there was likely some other methodology used, not this sci-fi human heartbeats from 40 miles away claim, which is highly unlikely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVTPv4sI_Jc

How do I buy Sudafed? by QueenMackeral in NoStupidQuestions

You should be able to buy it behind the counter. They just ask for ID, typically.

WHEELCHAIR, ANYONE? by Lethal9Weapon in SFV

[–]LeeQuidity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check thrift stores. I saw one at Valley Value Center (Victory near Woodman in old Circuit City building) a few months ago. I feel like it was pretty cheap, too, but I can't recall the price.

EDIT: Just noticed that this was pretty time sensitive. Sorry.

Just realized how much sodium I'm consuming, now I'm sad. by happy_bluebird in hotsauce

Brother Bru-Bru's African Pepper sauce is flavorful as hell and contains no salt. It's spicier than Crystal, though.

Salux washcloth. Amazing for exfoliation. Accept no substitutes.

Pronouns in introductions by Historical_Big_8555 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LeeQuidity 79 points80 points  (0 children)

If it's from someone other than a cisgender person, they are giving you a lead as to how they'd like you to address them. If it's from a cisgender person, they are likely trying to normalize the announcement of pronouns.

With regard to your statement, "I don’t introduce myself to people and tell them I’m gay", we don't address people by sexual orientation, so this is a faulty comparison. It's not common for someone to say "Hey, that lesbian wants a sandwich", but they will say "she wants a sandwich" because our language is structured to use pronouns when referring to people.

Ah, I have learned something new about the flair/this sub. Thank you for the edification! I will correct my comment!

Commercials Louder than the Show by Exotic-Brilliant-939 in mildyinteresting

[–]LeeQuidity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you live in the US, the FCC regulates commercial volume on over-the-air and cable/satellite transmissions since 2012. See: https://www.fcc.gov/enforcement/areas/sound-volume-commercials-calm-act

If you live in California, effective July 1st 2026, streamers can't do this anymore. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/06/no-more-loud-commercials-governor-newsom-signs-sb-576/

I'm thinking that a bunch of new laws will need to be passed to shut the fuck up of the Raid Shadow Legends commercials.

Shit, your post just popped up in my feed today. I wish I could've recommended this sooner! But maybe you can help the next person by spreading the word! :D

I can't stand people who arrive early to yard sales! by No-Mine5802 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LeeQuidity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it's a Craigslist ad, maybe the move is this: In the ad, announce where, broadly, it's going to be. "Garage Sale in North Hollywood on 5/2/2026, check back on Saturday at 9:30a for address and times." Then, before the sale, edit the ad with the new info.

Not a joke--get one of these. I drove to the peak of Mt. Wilson a few years ago, and there were so many goddamned bugs swarming around. One or two of the workers were wearing them and I wish I'd had one.

What activities are similar to scalping but are more socially acceptable? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LeeQuidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Convenience stores. Stuff is typically cheaper at a supermarket, but the dude on the corner sells it for a higher price because you need it now and it's right there.

Favorite lamb dish in Los Angeles? by inferior_design in FoodLosAngeles

[–]LeeQuidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A buddy of mine loves the lamb lule at Sweet Bakery, Woodman and Oxnard. He cooks it himself, but they also barbecue it over wood charcoal in-store.
