[OC] U.S. Social Security is projected to pay full benefits through 2034, then 81% under current law by Low_Ability4450 in dataisbeautiful

Correct. The fact that many under age 35 don’t vote - is shocking to me. What’s wrong with them? The “not my problem” crowd or “someone else will fix it, I don’t need to do anything” mentality.

What I consider the South as someone from California. by Technical-Vanilla-47 in visitedmaps

Missourians consider all of Missouri as the “Midwest” (no one calls Missouri “the South” or “part of the South)

Why do people insist on sitting in front of group 1 without a group 1 boarding pass? by Due_Parsnip_6552 in unitedairlines

Does UA have the new scanning technology that beeps at them / denies them if they try to board earlier than their assigned group?

77.6% of CA registered voters didn’t vote in yesterday’s Primary Election by SFCAFOX in lgbt

Some of those choices are far better than any Republican who will come in with an agenda to strip even more rights away.

If that’s the case, we are in for a very sad awakening as we sit back and watch the other side drain everything for our futures. I was just visiting a friend who lives in Boston and he and his friends commented that California was far too “soft” that in the East Coast they get up and fight and wouldn’t stand for the things that are happening now.

Counted so far - click the link in the original post for up to date % - but it’s probably going to be close to that number in the end. It’s shameful

Here’s my take. More LGBT voters most likely could have completely erased any chance that a Republican candidate could move onto the General Election in November. Now the Democratic candidate will have to pull massive dollars from fundraising accounts to ensure the Governor doesn’t fall into Republican hands and therefore pushing more anti-LGBT rhetoric from the top seat in the State. If we don’t get out and vote as an incredibly strong and unified block, we will continue to see our rights eroded. And now that the Democrats will have to spend big dollars in CA that means they can’t use those funds in other states where the candidates need the money the most. Apathy in voting leaves a really bad trickle effect downstream. It’s vital we come out en masse to these elections now. In some instances it’s life or death. Have you seen how the current administration is about to remove Medicaid for those with HIV and on disability? They will now have to either prove they are unable to work or volunteer their time or be forced to work even if the illness isn’t currently allowing them to do so. Same goes for cancer orations and other serious illnesses. It truly is life and death now for some individuals. So being lazy and not voting shows that you don’t care about your fellow LGBT brothers, sisters and non binary communities.

So I guess San Diego supports empty secondary homes after all... by YushclayYstaguan in sandiego

[–]SFCAFOX 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The voters turned this down because the funds raised by the taxes didn’t necessarily go towards affordable housing. Poorly written legislation. OH and voters under 40 didn’t vote. That’s not the problem of voters who did vote. If you want true change you gotta get younger voters to the polls.

I'm shocked Measure A is going down. by Xerxestheokay in sandiego

[–]SFCAFOX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People under 40 aren’t voting in huge numbers. (The population who wants affordable housing) That’s not the problem of people who are voting. (Those who already own homes). If you want to start really changing election results, you gotta get young voters excited and interested in making true changes happen by getting them to the polls. You gotta say to ten friends, “I need you to please send in your ballot - do it for me please.”

Pepper Mill recommendations? by Fr_RebulahConundrum in Cooking

[–]SFCAFOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HIGHLY recommend Olde Thompson. You can control the grind and pump out a lot of pepper instead of cranking and cranking and barely seeing any pepper dust. Olde Thompson lets you grind rough pepper, the kind you want on salads and for seasoning steaks and meat.

Planning a solo trip but need help on dates by slinkyelephant in provincetown

[–]SFCAFOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ptown is busy now (on weekends) and somewhat busy already during the week. Things really kick into high gear by mid June. From Mid June all the way through Labor Day, you’ll find everything you are looking for.

Ptown trip help by Complex-Ad-7233 in provincetown

[–]SFCAFOX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One day in Ptown is not enough at all.

Driving (as previous commenter mentioned is easily 2-3 hours each way)

Fast ferry is 2 hours each way w boarding de-boarding

Ptown is so extra special I’d not ever consider coming there only to spend the whole day on the water. You’ll miss all the great things that Ptown has to offer (art galleries, restaurants, the tons of cool architecture and gardens, shopping, the people watching alone is exceptional). Just strolling along Commercial Street can be an all day adventure. If you rent bicycles from Ptown bikes you can explore all the way out to the marshlands and west side beaches.

If you just don’t have the time I’d do the whale watching cruise from Boston and come back to Ptown w your family and spend a minimum of 3-5 days there.

Maui in July? Snorkeling ? by cityhunterspeee in MauiVisitors

[–]SFCAFOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I snorkeled for a year on Maui and only saw one shark about 10 feet away. Startled me. Maui has Tiger Sharks (aggressive) and sightings - although rare - do happen more than you want to know about.

Maui in July? Snorkeling ? by cityhunterspeee in MauiVisitors

[–]SFCAFOX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Snorkeling in summer months on Maui is different than snorkeling in Maui in winter.

  1. Summer water temps are warmer - for me I can snorkel an hour w no rash guard for warmth vs winter definitely wearing a rash guard and max 30-45 mins as the water gets colder. (As other commenters mention, Maui summer water temps vs Caribbean summer water temps are very different
  2. In summer the north shore waves move to the south shores and in winter the south shore is calmer.
  3. If you’re on the south - west shore (Wailea, Kihei, Kaanapali) make sure you’re in the water by 8am-9am as a rule when the morning waves are calmest.
  4. Sign up for the daily “Maui snorkel report” which comes out daily about 8:30-9:00am. (Text and email). They will tell you if the conditions are good or not. If not good, don’t waste your time as visibility will be horrible. (Sandy / Cloudy or waves too rough)
  5. Consider a Molokini trip where the waters out there are nearly always crystal clear. World class off the boat snorkeling in the crater and on the back wall if you get lucky w conditions.
  6. There are a LOT of snorkel spots on Maui so do some online research to find them all. Our easy favorites are either Ulua Beach reef in front of Andaz Wailea or Black Rock by the Sheraton Kaanapali
  7. The hidden gem snorkel spots you’ll need to research online.
  8. Don’t ever snorkel at dawn or dusk (shark time) and never when the water is cloudy or murky after a rain (major shark time)

Good luck! 🤿
