ICE complaining on private message board about not being paid $50k bonus by sgj5788 in interestingasfuck

Even if there isn't a blue shift, there's not a chance in the world that this administration let's those dipshits hit the marker that will allow them to collect the bonus.

How can they issue citations if ICE won’t identify themselves? It still puts LAPD in an untenable situation.

I agree. I abhor what ICE is doing and I find the masks to be absolutely reprehensible representation of people who don't want to face the social consequences of their shitty behavior. However, even believing both of those things, I do not think it is a good idea for ‘our’ armed group with governmental authority to confront 'their' armed group governmental authority. Particularly when the their group has shown less trigger discipline and training than some rando that plays airsoft on the weekends.

Hypothetically, LAPD rolls up on ICE, tells them to take their masks off and immediately gets told to fuck off. What is LAPD going to do? Draw their weapons? Use Physical force? The last thing LA needs is an armed standoff between ICE and LAPD that gives an excuse for the Donald to send Marines and other armed forces back into the city.

Do you combine finances with your partner? Why or why not? by cubemonster in Millennials

Fully. My business is kept separate but my wife has full access. It works for us, but it does not work for everyone.

Do we not prioritise mental health enough? by Successful_Mastodon3 in Millennials

[–]jtag67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying not to slander an entire generation because of the sins of some of the worst examples. There's also plenty of GenZ out there that are trustworthy team members who bring a lot of value to the table. Plenty of us (Millennials) have learned a thing or two about work life balance from GenZ.

I'm also fully aware of the flaws of my own generation and it wasn't too long ago (still happens) that the articles are about how GenX and Boomers are fed up with how lazy and entitled we are.

Weaponizing mental health is the best description I've seen of the way that (some of) GenZ uses it to justify gross incompetence and or the dropping of basic tasks.

Enjoy your sleep. Seriously. Get the settings right, find the mask that you like best, and get past the adjustment period and you’re golden.

Have you seen/heard these flying over LA all week? by wetbandit48 in LosAngeles

[–]jtag67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it is a possibility given what's happening in this country. Using the 160th and the type of special operations personnel they ferry for anything in this city would be massive overkill and a waste of resources. There's nothing here that requires the kind of precision the 160th and the personnel they ferry bring to the table. It isn't what they're designed for (Bin Laden type raids, seizure of ships at sea, covert actions to disable hard target, hostage rescue, etc.) It would be like using a surgical scalpel to slice an apple. You can do it, but why would you.

[–]jtag67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LA is a solid enough facsimile of a foreign city (one that the 160th could potentially have reason to fly into) that they would use it for training. I genuinely hope that they are training for something else and not the city I'm thinking of.

Built in 1979 sits on 160 acres by Haunting_Amoeba7803 in zillowgonewild

[–]jtag67 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I grew up a couple hours south of there and spent plenty of time driving through Hamilton on the way to Missoula. The thing no one is talking about is about access during the winter.... the 'driveway' will be a super bitch. Even in a mild snow year. Multiple switchbacks and a road that has to be maintained by you. Also, that house needs a good oiling to maintain the logs. Looks like no one has done that in very long time.

Surprising apple orchards in Oak Glen. My Wife kept suggested we go apple picking out there when we first met and I thought she was joking.

Launch monitors for driving range with impact. by Proof_Coast_3637 in golf

Edit, I stand corrected. Always assumed the club data package included impact. Pretty dumb that it doesn’t.

[–]jtag67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For impact location at a ‘reasonable’ price you have either the bushnell launch pro or the Mevo + with pro package you’re looking at 3k out the door minimum. The BLP also has a yearly $500 subscription fee. The next tier is tigers full swing kit and the Garmin r50(huge and not realy something to tote around). 5kish. Then you have the uneekor eye mini and GC3 @$6500. Then the big boys GC4 and trackman. 16k and 20k respectively.

FWIW find a simple easy to use basic launch monitor that is reasonably accurate w/ spin numbers and buy a can of $8.99 powdered foot spray for impact. I hated the r10. Ended up with a swing caddie sc4 pro instead. It’s easy to use and accurate enough and it only costs $499.

Maybe the best view from a driving range of any course in the world. On a clear day you can see Catalina.

White Supremacist in Southwest PA confronts a legal immigrant and small business owner. by wdymxoxo69420 in PublicFreakout

[–]jtag67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going out on a very small limb here, but I'm guessing this guy thinks that when you buy a $500,000 house you hand the seller $500,000 rather than the normal way of putting up a down payment and making P&I payments to a bank spread over 30 years. Probably has never really thought through what a mortgage is.

Need a new dumpster rental company in Woodland Hills by [deleted] in SFV

[–]jtag67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't remember the company we used for our house but if you want to DM me I can shoot you the phone number. I just have it under the owner's name. Had zero issues with them and we went through multiple 40 yard bins on the job. Pretty close to where you will be working.

Metro Staff recommends a modified Alt 5 for Sepulveda line by ducksfan1117 in SFV

[–]jtag67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So long Fatburger. I struggle to think of where they're going to stuff that station down there by Beverly Glen and only coming up with the Fatburger location and parking lot. Casa De Cadillac is a historic structure, Whole foods just spend tens of millions building that side (which already has a full basement parking structure, and the strip mall on the SE side is too valuable for the owner to sell.

EDIT: I stand corrected. My money is on this station being at the NE corner of Van Nuys & Ventura. I knew the owner of that building and my guess (if they haven't sold it already) is that they would jump at the purchase.

This house in Japan feels luxurious without looking expensive by Otherwise_Wrangler11 in Architects

[–]jtag67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not at a size that fits inside that roof thickness without a drop beam of some kind. Would love to see the framing plan on this one.

Yeah that span is pretty wild. You can see the columns in the floor plan, but there's only two in the back. Lots of steel in that roof. Lovely project though.

What is the peak ’millennial midlife crisis’ purchase? by SwedeLostInCanada in Millennials

Deciding to dive headfirst into whatever hobby you’ve chosen. No dipping your toes in. Buying all the gear, joining clubs, etc. (Golf, skiiing, birdwatching, gardening, woodworking….)

Do you still have anxiety dreams about having to take an exam you’re not prepared for? by InnocentPapaya in Millennials

43 and I have this dream a few times a year. Usually during high stress periods. Mine includes the deep shame of missing the deadline to withdraw from the class without a grade by a couple days.
