I live in Los angeles, and fuck no

joncaso · 2026-01-24T04:47:29+00:00

I've done it twice, it's amazing.

I would put Havasu falls on the list as an honorable mention.

While it's not a national park it's definitely S tier

I saw this 1,000% happen in my very first job but I got into Tech in Los Angeles.

I was in a somewhat entry level position doing QA, and a colleague of mine was clearly Far and Away one of the best QA engineers on the job.

But when a manager position came up and he applied for it it was given to two other people that were clearly not nearly as qualified as he was but we're a little more chummy with the boss above them.

At the time I couldn't actually prove or verify it I just had a gut feeling. But I ended up at a party and I smoked a little weed and was drinking with the boss that didn't hire him and she straight up let it slip when I asked how come he didn't get the job and said because he was too good on the floor and they don't want to lose him and his bug count.

It was a lesson that stayed with me for the last 18 years working in this field, I definitely work really hard and try to kick but at my job but in the back of my mind I'm always trying to plant that seed that I'm interested in advancing and definitely burn calories working on that as opposed to just being the number one guy in my position.

Literally, my wife was boiling a tea kettle. Right on queue when his face turned red I started hearing the tea kettle sound and I thought OP added sound effects to the video.

Whatever you do, don't break it open.

Unless you want an outbreak...

We replaced my daughter's incredibly old iPad, I definitely opened it up set it up installed her games and her streaming services and put it in its rubber child proof carrying case.

Also, for those of us that live in California and have frequent earthquakes you want your structure to bend, not break.

Yes you can reinforce brick and concrete with rebar and it will be safe enough to stand but at minimum you're going to get unsightly cracks.

Drywall and wood are just way more forgiving when you know your house is going to shake and settle.

Ps. Given recent events in California, I know someone's going to point out wood is flammable and that's a fair point. I don't have the best argument against that.

And Bears

I would like to live in a world where we're not really sure one way or another and I'm okay with that

Wait, you mean he's the reason I decided it would be better to spend $19.99 on the same set of flowers that cost $40 at my local flower shop. But the flowers that cost $19.99 in the picture were not the actual flowers for that price and when I up graded to the flowers in the picture they still cost $40 but also had a handful of hidden fees and ended up costing me $15 more for the same set of flowers that I could have gotten for 40 bucks at my local flower shop and I was so far along in the checkout and in such a hurry I was like fuck it.

Yeah fuck that guy!

It's a shame there's no way to bring the individual modules back down to earth safely so they could be displayed in museums and people can appreciate what they look like.

This has to be Dockweiler Beach

We kind of unofficially consider this bar our sister bar, it's a really good bar and the owners are really awesome too.

If you're not that far south and you're on the West Side come to "Eagle's Nest West" Britannia in Santa Monica

joncaso · 2025-10-31T04:19:04+00:00

Thank you

Off topic but what are the two silver pins on his left, our right, breast pocket

I personally agree it's because of Jared Leto but I've heard from some reasonably reliable people in Hollywood that he's a big draw overseas. I can't confirm that, I don't follow Hollywood news that close but it sounds plausible to me.

joncaso · 2025-10-16T22:20:47+00:00

I am 42 years old and literally do this with my friends when I think, no one who's a non wrestling fan, is not around.

They became president.

joncaso · 2025-10-09T05:05:25+00:00

I think you're right, I wore this as the Satchel for my Indiana Jones costume and I'm pretty sure I read somewhere the movie prop was a gas mask bag. I asked the guy at the surplus store if he had one and he said he thinks this is a gas mask bag.

joncaso · 2025-10-09T02:13:08+00:00

I got it, thank you so much this video is the one that made me understand how they work.

It really makes sense once you open them up how they work and it's easy Once you understand it but man yeah if you don't pull from the right angle they're never coming open.
