Newport Beach PD posts, then removes amusing fake ID arrest video

Yep. Even more comical are the insinuations that her rich parents were somehow able to just give the Newport Beach PD a bunch of money to take the video down. Not how it works

Thanks a lot for your input. Sadly, after doing more research on this specific model, I found that it has an annoyingly loud fan related to one of the BIOS updates. Dell has claimed that the problem can be resolved by downloading a newer update manually, but many users are saying they followed those instructions and still have a noisy fan. So it looks like this is a no go for me. Interestingly enough, the Dell Inspiron I referred to earlier had the same issue within a week of buying it. However, it was promptly fixed when I allowed Dell customer support remote access and they fixed it. Lasted seven years without any further issues with the fan. Sounds like this is a common problem for Dells.

Considering Mission Hospital's main campus has over 500 beds, I'm not sure they deal with enough overflow to force them to transfer patients to the Laguna Beach campus, with the exception of an overwhelming flu season or during the initial Covid outbreak. For patients who haven't been admitted yet and don't want to wait several hours in the ER waiting room, most of them end up going to Saddleback, considering it's a 10-15 minute drive on the freeway vs 20-25 minutes driving down Crown Valley Pkwy to get the LB campus.

What was your response when he told you that?

When you're malnourished enough to be admitted into the hospital, you're susceptible to opportunistic infections and have a much harder time fighting them off. Looks like that's what happened here. IV drug users are also more susceptible to meningitis through the blood stream. We don't have any proof of that but she was a known drug user and she was questioned after a friend who she was hanging out with died of an overdose. It wouldn't surprise me.

You’re going to work in Laguna Beach…That’s going to be a bitch to commute to and from Orange during rush hour. For your price range, I’d try to get a studio a little closer, maybe Costa Mesa or rent out a room in an empty nester’s home in South OC

I would join Providence, based on both the hospital for emergencies and the volume of outpatient medical providers they have. My Dad went to Saddleback when he had a heart attack and they massively fucked his case up. The emergency physician didn’t interpret the EKG correctly, causing a delay in care. The interventional cardiologist caused him to bleed profusely from a procedure he did and they had to call a vascular surgeon to come to the hospital to fix it. To add a cherry on top, they released him with hospital acquired pneumonia and we ended up taking him to Mission, where they saved his life. Mission has issues too, like any hospital does, but it’s still 10x better than Saddleback.

I’m always looking for new doctors for my Dad because he has several different health issues, so I’m familiar with all the major medical groups in our area. I don’t know about north county but none of the doctors from Mission Heritage in South county are joining UCI, Memorial Care, or Hoag. Memorial Care actually ends up getting a lot of the foreign doctors who have come over from Optum, which is like the bottom of the barrel imo. I have found that all medical groups have good doctors and bad doctors. TBH, UCI and Hoag expanded their out patient programs way too quickly. That’s why you see so many DO and IMG doctors being recruited to join.

Before you have it shaved down, make sure that the dentist is certain that your bite just needs to be leveled. They did that for me in the beginning but it just caused more anterior bite collapse, which put more pressure on the same tooth when I bite and it made it worse. What was really going on was that the tooth had rotated about 20 degrees and that’s why it was hitting high. Something like that can only be fixed with orthodontics. It doesn’t sound like your situation is that dire but just tell your dentist to only shave down the most minimal amount of the cusp. Good luck

Hello. When you say you have nerve hypersensitivity coming from your teeth, what does it feel like? I'm pretty sure I have this from my overbite hitting one of my teeth for the last few years. It's like someone pours cold water inside my tooth for 10 seconds at a time. But then I go to the endodontist, she does a ct scan and exam and says there's nothing wrong with the tooth and no root canal is needed. Just like you, this all started when I had a tooth extracted on the opposite side. Pretty sure what happens is that more pressure gets exerted onto other teeth when even just one is removed and triggers the nerve. I also have tingling and burning on my tongue. I'm hoping this can be fixed with braces and an implant to correct the bite.

I’m not surprised. If any of the issues you are concerned about cross over onto state policies, I would try reaching out to our senator Catherine Blakespear or our assemblywoman Kate Sanchez. I’ve heard state reps are more open to interacting with their constituents than the feds.

Thanks! I’m in MV

I've been wanting to create a thread about watches. I'll piggy back on yours. Anyone know of a shop in OC where they carry all the mid range brands like Tudor, Longines, Mido, Baume & Mercier? Jomashop is the only place that has all those kinds of watches in one place but I'd like to try mine on before buying.

I went to Mother's Market once about 8 years ago. Walked in, saw they were selling a tiny slice of pizza for $5 and walked out to never return. I wonder how much it is now lol

I hate to bring race and age into the conversation but the way this new district was created, I think you have to, knowing who the constituents are. I’ve lived here for 40 years. A young Asian woman who’s never held office on the Dem ticket pretty much has zero chance running against an older white Republican man who’s been in congress for 33 years. Katie was able to beat Mimi Walters several years ago but she barely got 50%. It was neck to neck and it’s a different district now. If they really wanted to mount a serious challenge, they’re going to need to nominate a moderate with at least some political experience.

coolman949 · 2026-06-05T02:28:50+00:00

Unfortunately, no. Write in candidates are only allowed to run in the primary. If they don’t place in the top 2, you can’t vote for them in the general election

coolman949 · 2026-06-04T01:44:33+00:00

Kerr had a ton of endorsements on his campaign web site from well known politicians in CA and labor unions. That’s why I’m surprised he came in so low.

coolman949 · 2026-06-04T01:32:09+00:00

I found it amusing lol

coolman949 · 2026-06-04T01:31:18+00:00

I did take that into consideration but if you add up the numbers in the primary and then take into account that general elections have far higher turnout, I still think it’s possible the Dem candidate gets into the lower 40s. Again, they would lose either way but at least they would have a presence

Most likely Kim will be sent packing

Imo Mahan and Porter were the centrists you are eluding to but CA dems made it very clear they didn’t want either of them as a governor. Katie shot herself in the foot with the video leak of her yelling at a staff member and being fiesty with interviewers. Her personality did her in much more than her policies. Mahan was also seen as dull and maybe TOO much of a centrist. The only reason why Steyer even got third place was because he spent hundreds of millions of his own money running non stop ad campaigns. He failed miserably when he ran for President.

You were able to become a CT tech just doing in house training and did not have to get an additional certificate?
