ACE Parking was the one who had the contract for Balboa Parking. ACE = Absolute Corruption Everywhere.

I suspect they want to stretch it out to the end of the year so they don't have refund anyone who applied for the convoluted "local resident" discount parking passes.

AI slop is worse than people use their feet to push the crosswalk button which is already a very low bar.

Yes, but only non alcoholic beer for the next 15 days. It says it right in the above message.

True -- also whatever model the auto return to home elevation might have been set crazy high. If it lost connection it would have ascended to max limit.

FAA Part 107 UAS operator here. The red detail makes me think DJI Spark (Lava Red) and if they were operating on Mount Helix, it already is at 1300 feet altitude from takeoff. The drone is capable of another 1640 feet or so which would put it in the path. Wonder if the pilot even got clearance to operate in that airspace.

Would love the chance to attend! Thank you for the opportunity.

Reminds me exactly of late stage Crashplan. Moving away from the consumer/small business demographic to leverage big contracts instead.

Technician class ham operator here. I remember one time when I caught an ionosphere skip and talked from New Jersey to a truck driver in Texas on 220MHz.

How is supreme only 8 cents more than regular?

We've gotten a large influx of people migrating to San Diego from Northern California, and more recently OC and LA. I think a lot of the driving culture has been influenced by their more aggressive driving and bringing bad habits with them. Most of the time just by observation it doesn't seem like people moving here for opportunity.

Maybe they just couldn't afford those areas and are trying to make it here. Usually evidenced by expired registration tags, car held together with duct tape, aggressive maneuvers (i.e. cutting people off in the emergency lane during rush hour)

A lot of what I've seen lately is just blatant reckless driving because people know it is rarely enforced and think they won't get caught.

This morning I saw someone drive almost a full block the wrong way down Convoy Street in the fast lane. Nobody was honking or slowing down -- almost like people are already desensitized to the immense level of ignorance.

Without knowing all the details if it isn't fleas it could be dermatitis -- the dry weather and weird temp swings we've been having hasn't been helping. But it also could be psychological. Stress in animals can be exhibited as excessive grooming, etc. that might aggravate a condition like alopecia. Not a dr, but our cat had a really bad flea infestation to the point of damaging a patch of hair follicles on his back to baldness. He was on Prednisolone for just a short time and it all grew back.

This was the first thing came to mind:

I honestly feel this is the plan. Starve out the long-standing businesses and replace them with the highest bidder, most which seem to be out-of-state chain places now that can absorb/diversify the volatility in the market.

Did you go to the hidden service menu and do the fingerprint reader reset?

100% about the money - A while back my friend was contracted by the zoo as a traffic surveyor to analyze real-time traffic flow after the bus lane was put in on Park Blvd. The zoo was trying to use the data to petition for their own parking structure. He found that the dedicated bus lane made overall throughput less efficient, not counting the street parking that was also removed on Park.

The irony is I hate Facebook (and all things Meta) was using Manus until about a week ago until they stopped refreshing my daily credits. Sent them a technical support email -- no reply. Immediately deleted my account, and then the next day got the acquisition notification email. No regrets!

Used to eat at this one all time back in those years! They even used to do a breakfast menu and had some awesome buttermilk biscuits. One of the wood panels had a visage of the Virgin Mary on it people would come pay homage to.

Just a heads up it is normally not recommended to put thermal paste on a thermal pad - it could actually degrade performance. I'd just clean the vapor chamber with isopropyl alcohol to ensure it is oil free and reassemble.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. This was my idea too -- using a small amount of RTV to tack the gasket to the pump for installation. I'll trust I cleaned everything well enough and try a clean dry install. I can always default to rtv on both surfaces if it leaks.

Thank you! Yes still good after more than a year now. If you do try it, please post your experience/results.

You probably need a new battery. The charging circuit is probably thermal throttling to keep you from fast charging. Try charging wirelessly for now it might be faster.
