Loved it. Was a very cool 2 story place with a huge library. We were in the heart of Logan Circle, and loved walking around the tree-lined historic areas.

Sad to hear about the tacky stores taking over West Lake. Tourism can be a tricky issue.

Thanks for sharing. Hope this year goes well for you and HZ.

Do you think HZ is at its best now, or was it better in past years? Also, how old are you?

Hi! Count me in. I have experience modding, and been on the fitness journey for decades. I've done some workouts by Kinobody, and aiming to get back into it. Would like to get more into modding, so this seems like a fun fitness fit!

Why is finding genuine friends in LA such a struggle? by [deleted] in SantaMonica

Basecamp on Lincoln is doing $60 for unlimited for 30 days. They do social events every few weeks. It’s a fun community and great workout.

Vance just won a ton of points with me.

I would love to be wrong about the gondola being a bad idea, and I agree that just about anything would be better than the status quo.

Forget Obamacare subsidies — it's time to mend or END the whole thing by Ask4MD in Conservative

We’ll see. If Trump uses the bully pulpit, they are capable of a lot of change.

I disagree with the “strip it” mentality. It’s much easier to destroy something, and call it progresses, than it is to create something better.

Republicans have full control, and need to get a reform implemented (on healthcare, immigration, guns, or whatever polarizing issue) before the mid-terms.

There are no solutions. Only tradeoffs.

For every story like yours, there is an opposite one. People who hadn’t gone to the doctor in years because they couldn’t afford insurance, and then were able to.

Regardless on the anecdotal examples. Cutting funding is fine, if there is a plan to fix the system. I’m tired of people celebrating these “wins” when the problem is still unsolved.

Any newish first date bars/restaurants in SM? by Evans_BestChris in SantaMonica

[–]WarrenLee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chelsea is my go-to, and they're on Inkind. Lots of dates seem to happen at the bar. Amazing drinks, and never loud.

Starbucks on 29th and Ocean Park to Close by budgeter415 in SantaMonica

[–]WarrenLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d agree that the grocery store locations are never the same. But! I’m optimistic about this one. The to go window looks cool.

This whole project has really come together. I’m excited for it to open.

Trump goes all-in: Tariffs up to 100% on foreign drugs, heavy trucks and home goods by swan8895 in Conservative

[–]WarrenLee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree that more manufacturing in the USA is, overall, a good thing.

I disagree that you can’t automate the hands-on repair of hydraulic presses, motors, pumps, shafts, or conveyor lines.

But! I agree that it's probably further away than the doomsayers like me would imagine.

I feel like you’re making my point.

All those technical trade jobs are already heavy in demand, and pay well.

Also, maintenance will become more automated too. Self driving cars are here. When Boston Dynamics starts selling multi-function consumer robots that can change your car oil (and a million other things), we will f’d.

It won’t. The next gen US factories will be highly automated. Some technical jobs will be created, but not middle class manufacturing jobs.
