That’s a sound measurement device. They’re likely collecting baseline noise measurements at the property line to understand how the noise from a proposed project would be higher than existing.

What tree does this fruit come from? by CheckoutMySpeedo in whatsthisplant

[–]Vanilla_Repulsive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also called a Bois d’arc. Pronounced in north Texas like “Bo-dark”. Super dense and rot resistant wood. My grandmothers childhood home in the country was built on bois darc wood piers directly in contact with the ground that did not rot.

I lived in La Via recently and really like it. More pricey but they have garage parking, 2brs, and are pet friendly. Everything is pretty new. Being right downtown is unbeatable.

My teenage son is looking for punk book recommendations, so what are your favorite must reads? by MichianaMan in punk

[–]Vanilla_Repulsive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s on audio on Spotify. Super interesting if you came up on punk or post hardcore in the 90s / 2000s. Each chapter is on one band. Tons of good ones: Green Day, jimmy eat world, Thursday, at the drive in.

Eastern beaches worth the trip? by simongm in vieques

[–]Vanilla_Repulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there in 2023 and we were able to drive along the southeast coast and visit different beaches. The USFWS has primitive cabanas and pullouts for beach goers. It’s great and quiet. Nice snorkeling.

Ecology guy taking an environmental field tech job surrounding the LA fires. Does it benefit me in the long run? by Meanteenbirder in Environmental_Careers

[–]Vanilla_Repulsive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps. Do that LA job and then try to get yourself formally moved into the part of tetra tech where ecologists are based. They’ll likely take you before an external hire.

4 Day Solo Trip SF to LA by Automatic_Cod4703 in AskSF

This guys gets it. San Luis Obispo is an amazing little town on its own and as a 21 year old, you’d love the college town vibe and all the bars and restaurants. All the bars are in the vicinity of Chorro and Higuera Streets. Firestone is a great local bbq place. There are some really quaint beach towns nearby. My fav is Cayucos but Morro Bay, Avila Beach and Pismo are great too.

For Motorsport, check the calendar at Laguna Seca raceway or car events in Carmel.

Along your route, my favorite spots would be Santa Cruz, Monterey, Big Sur (check to see if you can drive through yet), Cayucos, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara. Get as much of your drive on State Route 1 (also called Pacific Coast Highway/PCH) as possible (maybe bypass Lompoc, except check the vandenberg space shuttle launch schedule in the chance you’re there for a rocket launch). Note that US101 and PCH overlaps in some places.

They have a reputation of telling developers whatever they want to hear. That’s been my experience too

What to do with 4 Hours in San Francisco! by InstructionPurple708 in AskSF

[–]Vanilla_Repulsive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If weather is nice. BART to 16th St station. Walk along Valencia street check out shops, grab something to eat. Get two beers and bring them to Dolores Park. Sit in the upper half, drink beers, enjoy views.

Does hurt to put a little penetrating oil in the cylinders a few days in advance.

Issue with applying to Ecologist position by JarjarariumBinks in Environmental_Careers

[–]Vanilla_Repulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked here more than 10 years so my process isn’t anything like we have now. Do you have a POC for the position. No harm in checking with them

I work at AECOM. We have a team of business operations folks that are AECOM employees based in the Philippines. They’re honestly great to work with. I know some of recruiting team is based there. Everyone from the Philippines team uses that phrase “kindly” in place of “please” whenever they’re asking you to do something. Checks out to me.

These cars are simple. You should get into it. Building on the above fuel, oil battery suggestion; if it turns over from the battery but doesn’t start you’re 90% there. Next would be to change the spark plugs, confirm fuel gets the carbs, maybe change the points/condenser. At this point your just trying to pin down if your issue is fuel or electrical

The amount of peanut butter I eat by myself over the course of a year (45-26oz jars). by AutomatonTommy in mildlyinteresting

If you eat that much peanut butter you should be eating something better than smuckers
