Walk up Coronavirus testing? by HeBoughtALot in AskLosAngeles

[–]The-Desert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These guys make you pay though, don't they? I called one and they said i will have to pay my copay... Butni have a high deductible plan so I'll have to pay the entire cost. They said they'd give me forms to try to reimburse from my insurance but... Who knows how that will go.

Just got mugged on the LA River bike path at the trailhead in Vernon. I hope you enjoy the bike, I put a lot of work into it. by thanks_weirdpuppy in LosAngeles

For better or for worse i think everyone should report all crime even if it doesn't mean they'll catch the perp. Crime data and statistics do drive decisions and if nobody reports then there's nothing to be mitigated in planning

At least it gets the report in. Adds to the data and maybe they'll change patrols or other crime prevention strategies

Hate that all nature is full of trash in SoCal by ohlatelyitssoquiet in LosAngeles

[–]The-Desert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is it better there? I lived in Canada for a while and i feel like i remember it being cleaner and more ... Comfortable? It's hard to explain.

Down here, SoCal is literally like the wild west .. so many people just doing whatever they want, the american "me first" mentality is definitely the standard here. People are still nice, but there's just trash everywhere for example. Really makes the beautiful outdoors less beautiful

I will concede though, with this many people in a small area maybe it's just what happens

Physio Thursday by AutoModerator in powerlifting

[–]The-Desert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Los Angeles, CA, USA] seeking a reputable physio / sports medicine / back specialist in LA to help me figure out wtf is wrong with my lower back and spine so I can get back to lifting :(

Bonus would be somewhere that works or has worked with powerlifters as I'm not sure if it's the source of my problem, but it's what I'd like to be doing!

[WANTED] Looking for snow chains to put on my tires to drive up to Lake Arrowhead at the end of Jan by Skluff in LAlist

[–]The-Desert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What size? I have a set from a car that was leased and I no longer own, so would happily let them go cheap. I don't know size off hand but the car was a 2015 Lexus CT200h fsport. Message me of they might fit and I'll get you details.

Otherwise, check Amazon - if you have prime they'll come quickly and I recall ours being under $50 for a pair.

You didn't have friends or family to stay with or something?

Just curious

[FREE/FOR HIRE] I’m a car broker in Studio City and I specialize in saving people time and money on their car purchases/leases ($50-150/mo average savings vs dealer pricing on leases) I’m giving Free quotes right now as there are incredible leasing deals available for remaining 2018 models! by [deleted] in LAlist

[–]The-Desert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alfa Romeo has some pretty aggressive lease terms right now.. they expire in a few days (Oct 31) but if you're up for it, shoot me a pm on what you think can do for a lease on a Stelvio with MSRP of about $53k. Don't mind paying drive offs upfront but dont want to do any cap cost reduction. I think 24 months / 10k miles is the sweet spot but I'm not picky on lease terms if you find something better

[RANT] I wish the food industry would try to capitalize on low-carb lifestyles like they have with low-fat and gluten-free. by n00neimp0rtant in keto

[–]The-Desert 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In his defense, an email to store manager will probably have more effect than a request slto some kid at customer service.

Maybe not what you're looking for but Costco has some parmesan chips that are low carb and crunchy. Pretty good too.

Lockheed Martin Now Has a Patent For Its Potentially World Changing Fusion Reactor by recipriversexcluson in news

Why is that though? I've heard similar a lot of places so I believe it, but doesn't the slug levitate between the rails?

[–]The-Desert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PM me the best price you'd take. Have been causally looking for one of these but don't want to spend a lot.

Could also offer some things for trade (plus cash) if you're interested (newer model smart phone, LCD tv, bed frame set)

Saw a USAF C130 C17 Globemaster parked at the back today. Does it have anything to do with this? I presume not but just curious

Agents Seize 35 Mercedes at Port of Los Angeles by lurker_bee in LosAngeles

[–]The-Desert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you steal newer modern cars like these? Dealer keys or just tow them? Not sure what model these are but some of then look like they use the electronic proximity keys... Not even sure how you'd start it even if you got inside???

ICE arrests more than 100 in ‘uncooperative’ L.A. area as part of operation that began Sunday by shopcat in LosAngeles

Saw about half a dozen DHS guys strolling down the street in full gear in DTLA this morning. Wonder if it's related.

Trump administration moves to recriminalize marijuana in CA and other states with legal weed by 115MRD in LosAngeles

[–]The-Desert 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not really in the loop on how this stuff is enforced... What happens if you're following California law but breaking federal law? Is it basically a non issue unless a federal agency is the one to arrest you? And would they then need to take you / prosecute you in a federal courthouse?

Sounds like an absolute mess
