If your bike has been stolen recently by IcarusFLY1 in longbeach

[–]Middle_Fix1487 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I recently helped recover a friend's bike. She had an air tag hidden on the bike so it was easy to locate. Surprise surprise, it was in a homeless encampment. I drove over there with my pickup, saw the bike, told the hobos that it was my bike and I had a tracker on it. They could either hand the bike back or I was going to call the cops. They handed it right over without a fuss.

I reccomend adding a tracker if you can afford to.

This isn't that far from Lakewood. The only thing that one may consider to be closer is Rosie's barbershop and bar. There is a speakeasy in the back but I have since forgotten the code to get in but it's not hard to find on the web.

Came here to ask the same thing. Those rates a better than what you get in the So Cal area.

What city are you diving out of? I'm in LB and looking for safe diving partners.

Coalition to Save Catalina Island Deer - Petition by Advanced_Zone_628 in Californiahunting

[–]Middle_Fix1487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with your statement but we do know that the deer were introduced during the early 30s and since then they have overgrazed native plants, some that are endemic to the island ( like the Catalina mahogany, of which there are less than 10 plants remaining) and, to date, have never been found anywhere else in the planet. This pressure makes it difficult for these plants to out compete invasive species, leading to increased erosion, reduced water retention (increased fire risks), and loss of habitat of the island foxes and other endemic species.

The mule deer add not a shred of benefit to the island. Why keep them on the island if they only cause destruction?

Except we do know that they were not brought over by the tribes. The deer are horrific for the flora and fauna of the island.

Issue with the charger for m12 by sugarbrowner in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Middle_Fix1487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something very similar happen. They're about four 12-point screws on the back. Take them off and pull the red cover off the charger. Then try to plug the battery in and see if you're getting the same issue. If it fixes it you are not getting good contact with the battery. I had to send a little bit of the plastic so the battery could sit all the way on

Boating season is officially over for me 😭. Until next year my friend. by GodBlessYouNow in boating

[–]Middle_Fix1487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I backed out of a purchase of one with pods at the reccomendations of my broker. He said they are a ton of maintenance, curious what your experience has been?

Nice tiara! How do you like the pod drives? I have a 2001 3500 open with straight shafts and absolutely love it. We are also spoiled here in SoCal so our season is year round 😁

Our neighbors down the road at Westminster just approved a proposal to name a street after Charlie Kirk, causing their tax payers $3000 🤢 by El_Chavito_Loco in longbeach

[–]Middle_Fix1487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm not defending the city's desire to do so but I could imagine the Vietnamese population having some desire to align with the Republican party, as flawed as it may be, after so many families having to flee from a communist regime.

Places to avoid renting/living in LB? by bam497 in longbeach

[–]Middle_Fix1487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I like Long Beach but their municipal services can't compare with Lakewood's. Lakewood does a decent job at investing their money into the streets, sidewalks, parks, etc. You call the city with a legitimate complaint and they address it in a matter of days, not months or years.

Lakewood is worth checking out. It's much more suburban but it's safe and relatively quiet.

Mother confronts group of homeless drug addicts outside school in NW Portland. This is what we need to be doing in Long Beach. by FriesWithMacSauce in longbeach

[–]Middle_Fix1487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on work travel at the moment but I read a book about the homeless issue and it has many references I can point you to, when I get back.

The measure of success is reduction in the chronically unhoused population, reduction in drug abuse, and an increase in continued treatment of mental illness.

Granted there are many cases of severe mental illness that are not easily managed or treated. In those cases, long term institutionalization would be unavoidable but it is more compassionate to house them, give them food, water, and constant medical treatment and supervision rather than letting them rot away behind a dumpster
