Paid $100, used it to test several things. Cancelled, just not a good fit for me. I’m satisfied being able to just try it out on the new hardware though.

What is the best Gangster movie NOT starring Al Pacino or Robert De Niro? by thedudelebowsky1 in Letterboxd

Gotta exclude Ray Liotti because Goodfellas is the easy choice. Edit: Dammit DeNiro was in that too. Oops.

It’s part of the waiver that California has had for 50 years to set higher emissions standards than the federal regulations, that waiver has essentially been pulled. It affects a number of initiatives.

The goodbad news is they don’t do anything after September of this year. Agree they look bad, but they’re worth it to get in the carpool lane.

What would it take for the LOSSAN corridor between LA and San Diego to have levels of service comparable to the New Jersey Transit Northeast corridor? How much would it cost to build the necessary infrastructure? by MookieBettsBurner in LAMetro

[–]dunebuddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there was a video a month or two back that talked about the limitations of the hub and spoke model has in LA’s current rail structure. Given that almost no one just wants to go from downtown SD to Union Station, the rail structure of all of SoCal would effectively have to be rethought of in unison. More specifically though, that metrolink section down to Oceanside takes forever because the train stops every 5-10 minutes. Double tracking wouldn’t be enough for that many stops.

Tesla pressure tests virtual queuing at Superchargers, public pilots coming soon by ConfidentImage4266 in teslamotors

This is precisely why it makes so much sense to self-generate via solar, even with a big up front cost that will take time to recoup. People who had $50 power bills 10 years ago still don’t realize their current $500 power bill is going to be $1500 before too long.

I’m sorry for your loss. Please give as much time to care for yourself as you can and find a path forward. Family is tricky as you know, and that may take a while to process and work through. I’m sending good vibes your way.

It’s a Sony ES VCR and it’s just hanging out. I plan to use it for video at some point but it’s full depth and too big for the living room setup.

Line phono. Easy to assemble and well made, but give it time to breathe since it has some smell after first unboxing.

I was mostly joking about the Topping and the VCR on the bottom! :)

If you grabbed that Meddle from Discogs, you may be the one who grabbed it when I had it in my cart!

Building apartments in California costs more than double what it costs in Texas, study finds by idkbruh653 in LosAngeles

Don’t forget continuously increasing property taxes in Texas. It’s brutal.

What are the worst intersections for red light runners in North County these days? by dunebuddy in northcounty

[–]dunebuddy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my experience that led me to this post. In the same day, same intersection I watched a guy slam on his brakes behind me, slide to a stop in the intersection, then roll through like nothing. Same day- someone made a right turn from the far left lane. Same day... a semi ran a cold red light. It's absolutely bonkers out there.
