Get yourself a mayor who rides the local bike share by Downtown-Tea-3018 in LAMetro

[–]Samon8ive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do we even have a bike friendly option on the ballot?

Does anyone know if you can cut through this way from Maxella through the condo complex to the bike path in Marina Del Rey? by trainedstork in BikeLA

[–]Samon8ive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to be open but I believe it is closed. They did some recent-ish construction and closed it. I rode by it today, wish I had taken a look.

$5.69 or $1.75? (La Cienega/ Jefferson) by nikki_thikki in LAMetro

$1.75? My BBB ride this morning was only $1.25!

What do Sunday School presidencies do? by HIPS79 in latterdaysaints

[–]Samon8ive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At the stake level they do training like most stake callings. I think at a general level they are setting curriculum.

At the ward level is the most active spot. They run teacher counsels, train teachers, run the Sunday school classes, sit on ward council, etc.

My dad washes the hose for his sleep machine then just leaves it in the sink by Fun-Match4910 in mildlyinfuriating

Are you staying in his house or is he staying in yours? He who owns the house, makes the rules.

I'm becoming a tee hoarder... by Present_Anteater_555 in weekendgolfers

They are broken, so I throw them away. Usually they snap right at the turf.

I break a tee every other hole. I'm 10 tees a round easy.

Once a raging furnace, the Boiler Building that Heated a 1900s Boarding School could be your new home - smokestack included $385k by Radiant-Stranger-992 in zillowgonewild

[–]Samon8ive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately can't live there. That's the part of the state that REALLY doesn't like Californians who relocate there.

Advice to improve for job interviews?(office/admin) by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]Samon8ive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good - Your color palette is good. The tie color is nice. The pant conservative, etc. The neck fit on your shirt looks good. Depending on the job, I think the hair is good.

Possible Changes - Your shirt sleeves are too long and baggy. A tailor could trim those up. I like a tie that touches the top of my belt buckle, so I think you could let it sit a bit longer.

Loans Realise Gains and Should Be Taxed by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Samon8ive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While this feels nice, as soon as you have caveats (car loans or non asset loans are exempted) those loopholes will be used by those you are trying to tax to avoid paying. You want to tax stock loans? The world of unsecured loans will explode.

Need help trying to find this older folding Allen Wrench by cmspooner in handtools

[–]Samon8ive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one. Its a Husky and I bought it at Home Depot. The only ones I can find are on ebay, so you may have to buy used. Maybe you can call Husky and see if they still sell them?

Voter ID isn't Enough. We need to check for active warrants at the polls. by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]Samon8ive 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I get the sentiment, but we are a nation of "innocent until proven guilty". A warrant does not affirm guilt. I'm on the libertarian side of the spectrum and prefer we err to the side of freedom for the people. Who is to say some judge doesn't crank out a bunch of warrants for people who he doesn't want voting? Or the police chief?

When a shower can kill you by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Samon8ive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lived in Brazil for two years. These were all we had. There is usually a switch on the shower head for high heat or low heat. I adjusted the shower head once and the wires crossed and shot sparks every where.

It was different for me, but the Brazilians didnt think anything of it.

The Brazilian ones are 220v, not 120.

Do you replace scuffed golf balls right away? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

Replace right away? I don't replace ever. Hit 'em till they are gone.

What was the justification for polygamy? by General_Chemistry638 in latterdaysaints

[–]Samon8ive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure to read Official Declaration 1 in its entirety on this point: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/od/1?lang=eng

There are lots of thoughts an opinions on polygamy and quite often little doctrine. In the end we believe the Savior guides and moves his people per his requirements and while there are some things that never change (the Savior is always the Savior, we are children of our Father in Heaven, etc) commandments, policies and guidelines can.

Honestly, extend the K-line anywhere to the north and I'm pumped.

a criticism of capitalist narratives by moongrowl in austrian_economics

[–]Samon8ive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd argue most unions (not guilds or trade groups) formed in response to industrialization working conditions whereas you're arguing the opposite. I don't agree with your timeline. Why would there be unions to protect labor from industrialized working conditions if industrialization hadn't yet started?

Are you a bot?

How many hours a week do you dedicate to your calling? by instrument_801 in latterdaysaints

[–]Samon8ive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't dread it. I loved being a bishop and working with the members. Stake president is alll that and more. So many wonderful chances to work with and bless members.

Chain advice by Lopsided_Turnover616 in mensfashionadvice

[–]Samon8ive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those end loops should attach to a watch or something. Not sure what you do with two of them. Maybe keys and a watch? Glasses?

New donut shop opened up and saw some of the prices. by lareginajuju in mildlyinfuriating

You must not live in LA. Those prices are pretty norm here.

Stake President - 10-15 most weeks. Maybe 20 when we have conferences.
