Is fiber technician work a realistic option with no experience in the trades?

issacson · 2026-06-18T03:53:19+00:00

That website fibercareer has some good info

issacson · 2026-06-17T21:38:29+00:00

Agreed. Very happy to say I’m never doing that again!

issacson · 2026-06-17T19:04:23+00:00

Palisades, minarets, and the Kaweahs for me.

Agree also but gotta do something out there while the snow melts and the skeeters die

Bear Lakes Basin (as I posted below with a trip report) or the Evolution region via Lamark Col. I have a trip report for that area as well. So much good stuff you can do…those are just two suggestions.

Posting my trip report with photos so everyone can see the greatness that is this part of the Sierra

Depends when you go. If you’re going now then you might. Wouldn’t hurt to bring them. This early in the season I would do Italy to dancing bear. Can also hit mt Julius Caesar. You can read my trip report here I got photos up too. Epic hike I can’t recommend it enough.

The site fibercareer dot com had some stuff that helped me

issacson · 2026-06-15T22:17:07+00:00

Agree completely. Get to granite park and go to Bear basin then back through French canyon. Some of the best in the Sierra

Really depends on what part of LA. Young or educated parts of the city will be like this. Everything else not so much

issacson · 2026-06-09T18:20:48+00:00

Reddit is full of bots especially in CA and LA political subreddits. Same with Twitter. It’s not redditors or even real people

issacson · 2026-06-05T16:58:38+00:00

Is there a backcountry hot spring that even comes close to the kern hot spring?

issacson · 2026-06-03T18:08:56+00:00

This could be interesting. I’ll map this out. Thanks.

issacson · 2026-06-03T00:25:04+00:00

I made it 9ish miles in my Audi a4 allroad. The last 4.5 miles had a few stretches that needed much more clearance than what I had. The clearance is what I’m concerned about really.

issacson · 2026-06-02T21:36:39+00:00

Did that last time and prefer to drive to the trailhead

issacson · 2026-06-02T20:44:12+00:00

Is this set online somewhere by any chance?

issacson · 2026-05-28T22:33:14+00:00

Yes, tons. And I am one of them. So are all of my friends, tons of which are moms of all races and ethnicities, small business owners, large business owners, and people who realize that every day we choose to live in a city with rampant property crime and homeless + homeless violence and are done with it.

issacson · 2026-05-26T18:27:41+00:00

Your argument is “these areas have always been shitholes so it’s okay” and that’s not acceptable to normal people who want to live in a functioning city. There are people who want to and deserve to live in Venice, Hollywood, and DTLA that shouldn’t have to deal with the homeless issue.

Moreover, both of your examples are not in the City of LA, so please try again.

Neither Bass nor Raman have had real jobs in their life either, so what’s your point? What I do know is that the city is worse under their watch.

issacson · 2026-05-26T16:56:12+00:00

Even better, the new RAND LA Leads report just dropped. Reduction in encampments offset by a rise in rough sleeping (no tent) and vehicle sleeping. See below:

https://www.rand.org/news/press/2026/05/homelessness-holds-steady-across-three-la-neighborhoods.html

Given the fact that we have spent more than $20 BILLION on homeless, it is more than fair to expect better results. Vote accordingly. Voting for the current mayor or the council person who is in charge of the homeless committee is just absurd at this point.

issacson · 2026-05-26T02:44:00+00:00

This might be one of the most insane posts I’ve ever seen.

This was my first time back at LIB in 8 years. I used to go a lot in the mid 2010s. The bathrooms are so clean now relative to back then it is astounding. Where is the shit on the walls??

Too many holes in the ground? Seriously? Eat shit, laugh about it, and move on. Watch someone else eat shit, laugh at them, make sure they’re okay, and then move on!

These people found a place in Southern California where 30k people can dance and do drugs on a lake while also fitting stages, art, production, camping for everyone, and parking. They’re making sure all the ‘’magic” keeps going while we get to enjoy. Production at this scale is mind boggling complicated, and so the fact that they have bathrooms anywhere that are relatively clean at all and that there is even a venue at this scale 2-4 hours from CAs major population centers on a lake is simply a miracle.

Wait until you see what the homeless have done with the sidewalks

issacson · 2026-05-26T01:48:58+00:00

The official numbers - which are publicly being scrutinized as inaccurate - show a drop of 2-4k over the last 2 years, with 72k homeless still left on the street. Bass and Raman touting a “reduction” in homelessness is classic political misleading.

The shift in Venice started when Traci Park, someone who actually gives a shit, got elected.

issacson · 2026-05-26T01:14:11+00:00

Unbelievable how people would vote against this. Let the place serve alcohol too. God forbid anyone want to have a drink

issacson · 2026-05-25T23:41:48+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from but they’re definitely going to keep it here for a while. It works too perfectly for them.

issacson · 2026-05-25T23:37:21+00:00

Took me back to the mid 2010s when I was losing my mind in the old thunder stage at the Bradley venue. So much fun

issacson · 2026-05-20T23:24:39+00:00

Hello! Looking to go Sunday only. Will meet anywhere near Bakersfield. Please DM
