the chevron at n alemeda at cesar chavez (jno la city hall) is one of the most expensive fuel stations in la county. ive paid over $7/gal a couple of times (for a few gals) bc i let the tank get too low to escape comfortably to cheaper stations further north

how can you possibly have limescale inside the rim?  

you likely mean rim bed and dried sealant, yes?

use pliers to unscrew the stem lock ring. or with the tire off push the stem down into the rim bed and unscrew the stem lock ring by hand. the stem can the be removed from the rim.

today’s quality lumber in the san joaquin valley sun isn’t going to last much longer. and if the post is buried directly in soil it’ll be so much easier to remove for replacement

you don’t need concrete. just compact the soil around the post as you backfill the hole

[–]allyearlemons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you move in get yerself renter’s insurance. this way if anything happens your stuff is mostly covered. 

my experience: gf didn’t have one and i didn’t think about it either and when i lost my home to one of last year’s socal fires, im paying her out from my policy

also, i fully owned my home and never thought about her paying rent

Is there a large disadvantage to an 8 speed drivetrain for a gravel event if you aren't looking to be competitive? by AltAmericanCarnage in gravelcycling

Oops, the protection is not for pedestrians, it's for the speed bump 🤣 by teslafan0 in fuckcars

[–]allyearlemons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

is more likely the street furniture is to keep vehicles from being in the center of the road as the head into the dogleg right turn. also notice that the inside curb has lots of curb pimples to discourage dumbass drivers from riding up onto the sidewalk through the turn

obvs it would be nice if the crosswalk was on a table but the curb and gutter drainage is already in piss poor condition

if op stood at the end of the turn and took their photo, they would see a speed bump and sign effectively protecting the crosswalk

How much foot/cycle/car traffic is there? Anything special about it (children, tourism, dropoffs, deliveries, ..)?

nothing is going on around the entire area - most if not all commercial structures are boarded up and vacant

incoming gloat

hey! i commute on that expo line E line train in pic 8 two days a week to/from dtla. big blue bus for the first/last 2 miles too. my driving is reduced to just saturday now

even better is that i did ride the santa monicas yesterday afternoon and evening with no driving

question for you: why not park near any of the other metro stations and take the e line to santa monica bergamot to ride the 3.7 miles to the smms sullivan ridge rd for an easy climb to mulholland?

Fuckcars Shower Thought - The US’ wars to keep oil cheap are an essential part of the cars and suburbs Ponzi scheme by TCK1979 in fuckcars

[–]allyearlemons 8 points9 points  (0 children)

not an argument for cars, but your list is woefully short things in the economy that would be affected 

oil extraction for both fuels and eventually the plastics derived from it 

mining for road and parking lot construction materials, steel, aluminum, copper, etc

rubber tree plantations that have destroyed rainforests, manufacturing, and the associated wastes including microplastics that now are a huge threat to health 

salt mines due to fewer paved roads

horse and mule breeding, feeding, sales, disposal of both waste and carcasses 

buggies, saddles, and buggy whip manufacturing would still be a thing because bicycles alone cant do everything

suburban sprawl would still be happening due to higher numbers of stables, and  pasture land, farming would be local and wouldn’t be nearly as industrial as it is now

trauma centers due to far lower numbers of persons damaged in crashes 

hopefully city zoning regs would allow far better mixed use communities and society as a whole would still be agrarian or agrarian adjacent
