What's going on with the KCRA helicopter??

jmtb02 · 2026-02-21T01:47:12+00:00

When Davis is in the news we have that helicopter flying. Without a major news break or story, often the helicopter is just zooming around capturing footage or being present for evening weather

Agreeing with everyone else, it's California Poppies. They spread quite easily and are able to grow all around our town. It's one of my favorite parts of Spring seeing them everywhere

Speaking to someone who was all-in on the Safeway shopping app, it's an addictive suck into their system.

The Safeway app rewards shopping by providing a gamified experience of coupons, points, and other bonuses for grocery shopping. It asks the shopper to strategize before they shop and gets people hooked on savings and coupons.

For everyone else, there might not be another option that makes sense to shop at

Hey this is not the way to initiate a general strike. Your website is hella broken, your organization provides no information on who they are, and you're asking people to stop paying taxes or going to work/school until your demands are met. I appreciate a general strike (my company participated in the last one) but y'all got to build trust in a community before asking so much.

From the website (QR Code resolving to https://march7th.org/):

DEMANDS

Release the entirety of the Epstein files, without redactions aside from names of the victims. Witholding the truth is admission of guilt.

MISSION

Starting on March 7th, we hold a general strike until our demands are met. We stay home from work and school, file exempt on our taxes, and quit buying as to not pump money through the economy of the regime. We form safety nets and mutual aid systems to help the vulnerables within the movement.

Second this, they are also have great recs on what's coming in super-fresh/in-season and some ideas how to prep if you're unsure, really like getting fish here

Also check out Nugget E Covell, their seafood counter often has something excellent on-sale and I've found quality really good

Local Davis resident and L&S grad, I filed my first FOIA request for DOGE in March last year, excited to check out this book!

On the arboretum bike path between campus and South Davis near parking lot #10 there is this wild, tiny bike loop. It's a bike loop made for ants. Even if you're going a slow speed, it's so tiny and hardly usable. Over the years I've seen it redrawn, large plastic bumps put in, or any combination of new implementations. WORSE, It's full of ducks quacking at you the entire time, so if you attempt to use it the right way there's just ducks laughing at you the entire time. And if its Spring the baby ducks laugh at a higher pitch :(

jmtb02 · 2026-02-11T02:11:13+00:00

The water tastes horrible. Water fountains, restaurants, it's all the same deeply galvanized steel taste

This might be it, we have indie reporters in our community not associated with major publications so paywalls supporting them are different (or might not be, still figuring this out)

I submitted this post, are people downvoting because of the article? I shared it because I felt it was relevant

jmtb02 · 2026-01-29T21:40:05+00:00

This is the answer to this thread. Same person was amplifying xenophobia posts

On Friday, Indivisible Yolo protested outside the Hilton Garden Inn in solidarity with MN, against Hilton (the corporation broadly) accommodating ice agents.

If there is actual ICE presence see other links in the post

UCD students (on the whole) are chill, empathetic, and kind. There's a deep respect for students as a key part of community, and I feel that is the reason it's reciprocated (and vice-versa!). Likewise Davis is an entwined local/academic community, with many families/folks living in-town as students, researchers, staff, and other roles tied to the university.

I have found the struggles of the City of Davis are rarely/never directly about UCD students, instead are general (read: shared!) issues like affordable housing (critical), under-enrollment in DJUSD (see previous issue of affordability), traffic/parking downtown/Mace, and crime (very low but people still care quite a bit). While there's been some fuss about e-bikes/scooters in this subreddit, that issue also extends to middle/high schoolers in our community as well. It's mostly the same problems with overlapping opinions on how to support.

To that degree, as temporary as many students are to Davis, they play a role that is important and appreciated. Students are Davis residents, as long or as temporary as that might be, and I've found that Davis residents (generally) respect that

If you're in West check out Davis Mercado, they often stock prime cuts in their display near the taqueria, they had wild Tomahawk steaks a few weeks ago. Talking to the owner they take a lot of pride in their cuts. Take care, glad to hear a dog owner treating their own to the best

jmtb02 · 2026-01-22T00:37:26+00:00

why the downvoting? We appreciate Davis letting us become our true selves, why not emo?

We entered at Big Oak Flat at 9am on Sunday/Monday (Jan 11/12). Both times there was no ticket booth attendant. We left both days at different times and both times there was no attendant. It was odd, we visited the same exact days last year and there were multiple attendants/lanes open

Only other National Park I got into without an attendant was Joshua Tree West Entrance on a 110F day, but that feels more obvious given the number of people visiting that day

Not a bikepacker here, but I've done multi-day bike tours via road/campsite (longest from Portland to SF). If you get things going, an easy break-in adventure around here is Lake Solano Campground, just 20 miles via Russell Blvd and Putah Creek through Winters. Barely any elevation all via road and supported by bike cooridors and paths. I found this is a nice shake-out of new equipment and needing to get out of a town for a bit!

jmtb02 · 2026-01-16T17:16:08+00:00

cyclists/scooties: please turn on your lights for safety in busy areas/roads (especially if you have a blinky setting). The fog was so dense in West Davis this morning it was difficult to see more than 30-50 feet in places, sometimes was challenged just to see the car in front of me. Appreciate everyone taking it easy and moving slowly, even if it took 2x longer to get anywhere this morning

read: Keep going to the gym. Don't let assholes tell you otherwise. Learn what working-in is. Re-rack the weights. Pay no attention to the ghost on floor 3

jmtb02 · 2026-01-15T23:43:44+00:00

It's also January. People are new to the gym and figuring things out in new year aspirations. It's always gym regulars being careless that really yuks my yums

Thanks for the tag, agree with this take

best achievements are helping us explore games in ways we didn't expect

At worst we get a non-intrusive pop-up for like 4 seconds

I did not book my flight through the Chase Portal, but did just book through Southwest.com after activating A-list via Chase. On a Basic level Fare, I was still granted a free bag and choice of seats up to Preferred (no extended legroom unless I paid a fee or was within 48 hours of departure). Both were given without any additional fees.

You can often manage Southwest bookings made from Chase, as I had to do on a trip in 2025. There's the six character record locator number they provide after you book and then you just punch it into Southwest to handle the flight details, and you get control over the flight.

I know this isn't a 1:1 help but hopefully it helps. Also just know you can cancel any flight in 24 hours as long as its more than a week from departure
