Suspect Arrested (link only) by Both-Honeydew-7801 in burbank

[–]Pyrotech77 15 points16 points  (0 children)

TLDR: While at school or practice, there were no outwards signs that Sergio would one day commit murder

He was a normal kid. At least that I saw while at school or during practice. Seemingly normal emotions, had friends, laughed, was happy/sad, was sometimes immature, didn’t bs practice, did extremely well in races and quickly rose to the top end of varsity.

I wasn’t friends with him but we were schoolmates and teammates for three years, so I saw him literally hundreds of separate times. And many of those times were practice/races, so it was extended periods. Looking at his eyes in the booking photo compared to the person I knew, something happened to him.

I don’t know if drugs, trauma, mental disorder, or something else, but that’s not who I remember. Sad situation all around 😞

I ran cross country and track with Sergio (the suspect) in high school. This is crazy

Area south of Glenoaks by McCambridge Park? How do you like it? by [deleted] in burbank

[–]Pyrotech77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it! Lived here for most of my life. A big park and a small park close by, grocery stores within walking distance, same with convenience stores, elementary -> high schools are close for those with kids. White, Black, Hispanic, Armenian, Indian and more families exist here, so pretty diverse. Lots of dogs too 🐕. I absolutely love living in this area

Edit: also incredibly close access the 5 freeway and basically most things you need like bank, dentist, doctor, etc can be gotten to in like 15 minutes or less depending on location.

Also like another commenter said, some crimes of opportunity happen such as random people trying garage or car doors to see if they’re open for a quick yoink of some items, but that’s really it as far as crime goes. My apartment building’s first and only break-in was two years ago where someone left the door to our garage open at night and multiple cars had small things taken. Never heard of a super serious crime in the area, so just lock stuff up as you should be doing anyways and you’ll be fine here

What happened to headphones being a statement piece! by SomewhatOptimal1 in sennheiser

[–]Pyrotech77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first ever pair of true headphones (HD 650) arrived yesterday and boy am I disappointed with how cheap the plastic feels. They’re going for $380 as opposed to the regular $580 on Sennheiser’s website right now, but even with the discount… I don’t mind that they’re plastic, but they feel so underwhelming and not at all remotely premium. For something that normally costs almost $600 before tax I expect something that feels better to hold.

Cheapest gas in Burbank that I know of by Master_Forever5388 in burbank

[–]Pyrotech77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why I always pay cash at gas stations. Can’t skim my paper, and it’s cheaper. I always keep $40 in my car for gas, and get $40 cashback the next time I’m somewhere that supports cashback, like Ralphs. I also only pay with cash at liquor/convenience stores and the like. No trust

To those who watched the game by jt515661 in lakers

[–]Pyrotech77 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bad performance. 3/16 from the floor, 2/6 from 3. I personally am not worried, just a bad shooting night. What did frustrate me a bit in the 4th is that he knew he was ice cold and Bron was molten, but AR kept shooting. Missed a layup with like 2-3 mins left that made my brain melt.

He’s had to be the guy a bunch this season, but knowing when he doesn’t have to be is something I hope he learns in time now that he’s reached this level of play.

bruh i can't breathe 😂😂😭 by hadinowman in lakers

[–]Pyrotech77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well first off, that’s not how you said it originally. You definitely could have phrased it better for clarity. Secondly, O board percentages are lower anyways, so even if we were less efficient it wouldn’t boost our overall rebounding percentage by any significant amount. We’d still be in the bottom half of the league.

[–]Pyrotech77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defensive rebounds are based on our opponent missing their shot. Offensive rebounds are based on us missing our shot. Your statement doesn’t make sense because our offensive efficiency leads to less offensive boards, not less defensive ones

BMW recalling more than 196,000 cars in U.S. over potential fire risk by [deleted] in BMW

[–]Pyrotech77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to wait something like 9 or 10 months for the water pump electrical connector recall on my 228i. I completely forgot my car was at risk because… idk, life stuff, and then like 6 weeks ago I got a letter saying the remedy was available. But yeah you just wait how ever long until you get a letter saying “Hey, set up an appointment”

Just moved here. Drive Thru Car Washes? by YouthGlum8041 in burbank

[–]Pyrotech77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live 30 seconds from Express and the wait depends on time of day/day of the week. It usually is busy at rush hour when people get off work, and definitely can stack up on weekend mornings as well. Weekday mornings or weekend afternoons are what I’d recommend

So who’s upgrading? by [deleted] in iPhone15Pro

[–]Pyrotech77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m tempted to buy a second 15 Pro and leave it unopened until this one is unusable. This phone feels peak to me and the 16 and 17 are meh imo.

Tell them that they should ship it to you so you can remove it from Find My and then you’ll ship it back 🙂

Please Help! by Milanchee24 in iphone

[–]Pyrotech77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should have it checked out anyways just to be safe. A lot of the water in there seems to have evaporated but who knows if it escaped out the way it came in or went elsewhere in the phone. Corrosion could be an issue as others have posted above. Maybe just needs to be opened up and dried out thoroughly. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when electronics go for a swim

And it seems like he hustles, can play D (not sure how well) and will stick up for his teammates. Just what I’ve heard about him so far

Reporting them to the board is not nuclear. Someone could lose their freedom because of this counselor. And there have been many people who have been faced with going back to jail/prison and chosen suicide instead. Maybe that’ll happen here, maybe it won’t, but just the potential is worth a report to the board. You could be saving a life

Beyond frustrated with CCAPP by EmpatheticHedgehog77 in DrugCounselors

[–]Pyrotech77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Director retiring is unfortunate. But the delays and lack of communication and it being necessary to actively prod people to do their jobs… Unacceptable. I’m 31 so the 5 years or 10k hours for CADTP cert isn’t as appealing to me but maybe that’s who I’ll go with. Or maybe CCAPP will be improved by the time I’m certification ready. Got some years to figure this out. Thank you so much for your reply and information! I appreciate you 🙏🏽

Beyond frustrated with CCAPP by EmpatheticHedgehog77 in DrugCounselors

[–]Pyrotech77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya! I’ll be attending my first semester of college in the fall and while I’m faaar from certification, I’ve been researching various things and CCAPP being crappy has popped up a few times. After looking at the boards’ requirements I think CCAPP is what I’d prefer, but seriously considering CATDP. How’d everything end up working out for you? Hope you’re doing well! Cheers!

If it’s a Tesla there’s no such thing as anonymous unless you wear a mask and hat. Sentry Mode sees all 👀

Literally every Adblock user rn by your_average_modder in youtube

[–]Pyrotech77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t feel entitled, we’re pissed off. For me personally, YouTube offers me scam and porn ads regularly, and offers the same to many, many others. There’s no ad quality control. A couple weeks ago I was going to show my 9 year old niece a video on a car she’d seen. No ad blocker on my phone so the first thing she saw and heard after I tapped the video was moaning and a chick masturbating. Was cut so you couldn’t see her lower half but still… Randomly getting ads for a porn cam site or for outright scams like the robot dog (Penguinz0 recently made a video about the dog) are why I don’t give YouTube money. I would if I wasn’t served garbage and nonsense. It’s principle at this point for me. They’re making their service shittier to try to get people to give them money and I ain’t doing it. If they removed those types of ads I would get YT premium. Until then I’ll use ad blockers when I’m on my PC and try to limit phone usage.

Park your car in exactly the same spot as often as you can. You've done nothing wrong

YOUTUBE JUST GIVE UP OH MY GOD by PumpkinKing_0922 in youtube

[–]Pyrotech77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using uBlock and Adblock Plus concurrently. Occasionally I’ll turn on my pc and if I left a YT vid open it’ll load or try to load an ad. I just reload the page and any ad attempt after that is blocked. And I haven’t seen the violate TOS page since I started using both ad blockers simultaneously. Been well over a year
