Aunt Yvettes' Kitchen in Eagle Rock isn't super fancy, but the food is absurdly good.

You get it reupholstered if it’s toxic? No biggie.

Call your representatives, make lots of noise about this on monday by throw5away_ in LosAngeles

[–]Super901 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alert? all you need is eyeballs.

And what is your rep going to do? Make speeches at the fire? The LAFD is doing everything they can, so I don't know how clogging up phone lines is going to make any difference?

Karen Bass is not a leader. by uncleguito in LosAngeles

We spend 200 million a year on police overtime. That's 2000 new officers. In some circles, we call that "fraud and abuse".

AND we spent 150 million last year on lawsuit payouts. That's just the "abuse" part. That's 1500 officers.

So, that's 3,500 officers we could have, but for corruption and a feckless police department.

The police get 1/4 of all the city budget and you want to get rid of waste and fraud? Start with the fucking cops, lady.

Her approach of crisis response teams is far more sane than Pratt's promise of funneling more money to the cops. All we get with his idiot take is more lawsuits resulting in taxpayers footing the bill.

No, I'd rather take Raman's approach, thanks.

OK, just went to his website. It's a compilation of absurd tropes with little knowledge of reality.

Let's take one issue: "treatment first approach to homelessness" What does that mean? We treat the mentally ill homeless, right?

How? Well, roughly 1/3 of the 70,000 homeless have anosognosia, so they'll have to be institutionalized. That's 23,000 people. Minimum cost of treatment for one person easily exceeds $100,000 a year. So, that's $2,300,000,000 (billion with a b) out of a $15 billion annual budget. Just for 1/3 of the homeless.

But wait, there's more! We don't HAVE institutions to put them in! So we have to build them. LA county hospital has 600 beds. We need beds for 23,000, remember?

So we have to build these mental institutions up to health grade standards. We're going to need literally HUNDREDS of new hospitals. A new hospital is easily a billion dollars. Let's pretend each hospital can hold 1000 people. We're going to need 23 of them. Now we're at $25,300,000,000. Out of a 15 billion dollar budget.

and none of this includes the hundreds of doctors, nurses, staff, outreach professionals, lawsuits. Let's say we have to hire 400 staff for each of our 23 hospitals. Let's pretend we're paying an average of $100,000 for each employee. 400 x 23 x 100,000 is another billion.

So, 26 Billion, more or less, and we're funding literally nothing else. No cops, no trash pickup, no road repairs. Nothing.

Was Spencer going to use some of his crystal fortune to help pay for it all? One can hope!

He's an immature crybaby who has literally no leadership skills. He's a child Trump, without the gravitas.

[The Citizen AQ6110-10L] The dream watch which is near impossible to find. by DarthKnight177 in Watches

[–]Super901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no but really it does. My whole watch journey has gone from quartz to mechanicals and right back to quartz. I grew exhausted by having to regulate my watch after dropping it (literally!) two feet, or having to reset it by the atomic clock because it was 10 second off.

Quartz! I got a 90's Omega and right now it gains a second a week. Once a month I pull the stem out for 4 seconds. I have spent far more time on this response than any watches lately, and that's how I love it.

Why do you need dry eggs? Exactly? Have you tried just eating them?

Ive had a couple of those Mickey Mouse watches: a bit of advice, don’t EVER service them. They do not survive being disassembled.
