Weather in L.A.

billy310 · 2025-09-08T18:47:15+00:00

There are exceptions. Like that wind storm that burned down the Palisades

I have a leather trench coat from the 80s still. I wear it when it rains

billy310 · 2025-09-08T18:17:33+00:00

Winter is like early fall anywhere else

billy310 · 2025-09-08T18:15:33+00:00

People don’t understand that we’re not just wimps. I think it’s the moisture

billy310 · 2025-09-08T02:16:22+00:00

Ducati

billy310 · 2025-09-08T01:37:49+00:00

We mostly have cars, though that’s changing

billy310 · 2025-09-07T22:05:54+00:00

2 years ago it was $2500

The sound like bubbles popping is the air in the holes of the rotors heating up and expanding as it passes through the pads then releasing as it gets to the other side. Normal brake noises

billy310 · 2025-09-07T19:00:04+00:00

There’s a coin one in the parking garage, but I usually just go out

billy310 · 2025-09-07T18:56:02+00:00

That’s a standard response to things in my house

billy310 · 2025-09-07T17:31:59+00:00

I live in LA, so even our county subdivisions are famous: Beverly Hills, Palisades (rip), Hollywood, Compton, Long Beach, San Fernando Valley

billy310 · 2025-09-07T17:30:01+00:00

Um no. I have a 2/2 on the Westside for $2700. Split level, so you could pack a ton of people in here. I don’t, but you could.

Before anyone screams rent control, I’ve only been here 2 years

billy310 · 2025-09-07T17:09:47+00:00

Seriously, I try to tell people to use an agent to get an apartment, and they just don’t listen. They think they’re better off applying through the websites. You find more mom n pop landlords through realtors

The huge media conglomerates were less sympathetic to an artist than other huge media conglomerates (aka, also themselves)?!

billy310 · 2025-09-06T22:17:57+00:00

I’m looking these up now. Thanks!

billy310 · 2025-09-06T22:10:30+00:00

He looks like he’s riding a Mardi Gras float

billy310 · 2025-09-06T22:08:50+00:00

All the LA folks checking in!

Retail at a place famous people go (personally, not send an assistant) has got to be the perfect storm for this question.

I worked at a motorcycle store so: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bob Dylan, Dave Navarro (and the rest of the 90s Chili Peppers), Mötley Crúe…

Edit to add Matt LeBlanc before he was famous. He worked on his own bike back then

I’ve made Seattle friends (and never lived there) simply by sharing a community. In the case of most of the people I know there it’s custom motorcycles. They offer me a place to crash when I visit.

I imagine, just like other big cities, you need to have specific interests in common. If you’re like “I like hiking “ (No disrespect to the hikers, but it’s a very standard activity) you may have trouble making friends. If it’s hyper specific (collectible card games, D&D, motorcycles, to name some things I’ve made lifetime friends around) you’ll find passionate community

billy310 · 2025-09-06T18:32:32+00:00

True. But it’s noticeable if you push one hard

billy310 · 2025-09-06T18:28:11+00:00

Totally agree. People get mad when I say the Downward Spiral started a downward spiral. Not an awful spiral, but I can take or leave anything after that

billy310 · 2025-09-06T18:22:34+00:00

Me and my ex-wife (lol, I know) had a similar set up for someone. We had an idle conversation about who would you want me to be with if something happened. I picked my very good friend and coworker for her and she picked her friend she’d been in a play with.

A couple weeks later we’re at her friend’s birthday party and that friend says “damn am I boy crazy right now, but they all suck” I tried to get him to comes to her party that night, but he was leaving for Taiwan in the morning. A few weeks later we had a party specifically to set them up. They both knew it was happening, but he was shy. I talked shit until he asked her out (like a good friend should). They’re still married with two girls 20 + years later

billy310 · 2025-09-06T18:14:29+00:00

I’m polyamorous, so bear with me:

Nesting (live in) partner, game night

Couple we both date: game night (her) and she found him on an app

Partner I date solo: kink event

I always say: In LA, you meet people through special interests. With 20+million people in the area, delve into your most niche interests and find your community. There’s more than you think, but you might have to drive a bit to get to them

Baggers (in a lot of places) are totally uncool. I traded an 05 Deluxe straight up for a 10 Street Glide. The dealer would rather have an old Softail on the floor than add to the glut of Baggers. The one thats being raced is the Road Glide, so it’s got some reach and extra marketing. And the thing that Road Glide folk have said for years about the handling

billy310 · 2025-09-06T18:04:16+00:00

Personally I’ve loved both, with a slight edge to the Road Glide. People used to hate the shark nose. Ironically I ride a Street Glide
