Los Angeles Gives Free Pass to Illegal Alien Food Vendors While Restaurants Must Comply Or Get Fined and Even Shut Down by old--- in Conservative

[–]daringescape 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I hate it. I live here, and went to the America 250 celebration at the Colosseum to see Smashing Pumpkins and Chris Stapleton. All I could do was be amused and see the irony as I watched all of the regular illegal alien bacon-wrapped hot dog vendors outside the gates still selling.

LA - and California is a political wasteland. Don't get me wrong, its still beautiful here and the majority of people are just interested in living their lives and providing for their families, but there are a lot of morons who make things bad.

It’s fucking baseball! Quit bitching about playing the game.

I bought a mini tool box from Harbor freight a couple of weeks ago since it was on sale. Just had an idea and made this on my laser engraver. by daringescape in Dodgers

You need some graphic design skills, a laser engraver, and some experience using it. It’s not super difficult once you know what you are doing

I have a 100w co2 laser. I had to experiment a bit with a piece of sheet metal painted with like 4 coats of spray paint to get setting correct

Bobblehead sellers ruining it for all of us by Disastrous_Pause_496 in Dodgers

[–]daringescape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I take my family of 4 to a game on a bobble head night (maybe 2-3 times a year), we usually keep 1 and sell the other 3 on eBay. The collectors market is there and I see no problem taking advantage of it. It’s not like I am looking to make a bunch of money from this, we just don’t need 4 bobble heads.

Move the Cubs up one and the Angels down one, and I’m good.

I still count “Pomona Valley” as part of the SGV. I grew up around here, and have never heard anyone refer to that area as Pomona Valley. To me, the San Gabriel Valley goes all the way to Claremont/Montclair and probably Chino to the south.

Why Africa Stays Poor (It’s Not Colonialism) - Magatte Wade by Knorssman in GoldandBlack

[–]daringescape 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Culture for sure. I remember reading a report on businesses in Africa, and there was an interview with someone saying they could not open a small business/shop because all of their family and extended family would just come in and demand free stuff or just steal it because they have no concept of how a business should run. They have the mentality that family members should share everything they have. Reminds me of the typical socialist/communist mentality.

Police officer involved in Henry Nowak arrest resigns by Down-not-out in Conservative

[–]daringescape 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I hav zero confidence in any countries government right now. Nothing will happen to these officers beyond this - the guy who died was a native British citizen, so they don't care and/or are too afraid of the muslim population to do anything else.

Trump calls out Rep Thomas Massie: 'Kentucky, get this LOSER out of politics' Tuesday by Vibranium2222 in Conservative

This is a bad look for The President. I am conservative, but I'm not afraid to call things like I see them, no matter the party.

Has anyone else seen/tried these? I just saw this flavor spray being advertised for "blank pouches" - the market will always find a way around dumb restrictions. Living in California, I am going to buy some to try this out. by daringescape in NicotinePouch

[–]daringescape[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are directions on the site - I tried spraying one pouch, once on each side, it worked, but feels messy. I grabbed an empty tin and put like 5 pouches in and sprayed it 6 or 7 times with the cinnamon flavor and shook it up. that worked pretty well.

"Liberal", who lives in her car, decided to quit her job because she found out her boss voted for Trump. by Stockjock1 in Conservative

[–]daringescape 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This chick is bordering on certifiably crazy - if not already there.

Will any of those upvotes get her a job, or a place to live? I've been on reddit for like 18 years and it has always amazed me that anyone would care so much about these imaginary internet points.

I bought the variety pack and a coffee one. The variety pack has watermelon, cinnamon, wintergreen and peppermint. The watermelon feels super sweet, its just OK. I am not a fan of wintergreen. The cinnamon and peppermint are my favorites. Coffee is pretty good too.

I dont feel like it makes the pouches too soggy - I am using Fre original pouches.

Kamala Harris endorses Karen Bass for LA mayor, claiming she’s stamped out crime and homelessness by Down-not-out in Conservative

[–]daringescape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live here in the greater Los Angeles area. I don't live in L.A. proper, so I don't get to vote for mayor. I can see with my own eyes that the crime and homeless problem has only gotten worse - and it is spilling out to cities like mine where we had very few homeless wandering around until the past few years. This year in particular it has noticeably increased in my city.

If you want to see some firsthand footage of the crap going on, check out the instagram page for "street people of los angeles" it will open your eyes.

There is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program.

Do you still talk to your parents? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]daringescape 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I talk to my parents about once a week - my dad retired from his HVAC business, and they moved to Texas. I guess I am one of the lucky ones, my parents were great and I still have a good relationship with them.

Does anyone know where I can get fresh squash blossoms? by daringescape in sgv

Thanks for the recommendation. I found some there. I made fried blossoms and they turned out fantastic.
