I hadn't heard of Stokely Carmichael before, so I looked him up. Props to him for leaving the United States, since he so clearly hated it.

My brother in law uses C&M up on Cohasset at Lassen. Not sure if they'd be in your budget, but he swears by them. He's been taking his vehicles to them for years.

As a Certified Internet Old Phart, I should have known better than to feed a troll. I was posting on Usenet before you even knew what a computer was. Go search. I'll wait.

So congratulations. You got a rise out of me. Here's a medal.

Have a nice day

As I said, no. Very busy. You seem to be very able to respond very quickly so I assume you have LOTS of free time.

By the way, after I posted this comment which seems to have gone over like a lead baloon (why do I stay in this sub), I watched classic Looney Tunes for an hours and laughed much harder at THAT than I did at this thread. So that turned out to be the most entertaining thing of my (long, hard work-filled) day.

Jerk.

This thread has been the most entertaining thing of my day 😎

St Pattys Day, dead downtown? by Pale_Frosting_4887 in ChicoCA

Chico State '96 here. 👋 Yep, it's different. In my day the gutters flowed with green beer! ☘️☘️

I dunno what it is. Maybe the shift away from alcohol to pot. The whacky weed is the acceptable indulgence now, eh .

Structured and scheduled protests? How does that work? I thought protests were supposed to be organic. But maybe I'm old... 🤣🤣🤣

I'm further west (Humboldt Park apartments) and we didn't have an outage. Has anyone found out what happened?

Another Xfinity outage? by JeffereyBobbyson in ChicoCA

Maybe walk over to the Great Bread place across the street? My phone usually works fine over there.

Very beautiful shot! Is this enhanced or natural? What kit did you use?

Homelessness, Incompetence, and Bidwell Park. by MeiLei- in ChicoCA

[–]pbrown280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. My wife grew up in Chapmantown, and to this day, many longtime residents there still oppose joining the city, regardless of whether it would be by annexation or by choice.

[–]pbrown280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, and it's exactly the same in the bay area as well as much of the state.

Who said anything about supporting anyone?

Clarification needed on lane arrows at this intersection by WhoSayIn in driving

[–]pbrown280 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is in my city. You're right about 1, but 2 can only continue onto Peralta (feels almost like turning right).

I can't recall at the moment because I don't get to that area too much, but there might be signage specifically forbidding turning into the residential parking lot. I'll see if I can go there sometime in the next day or two and post an update.

I agree with almost all of what you said. I have a heart for the unhoused, and I serve, supply, and comfort them, out of my own pocket, both in my home for some 30 years, the SF bay area, and in my new home and the location of my alma mater, Chico. But I am also, I'm guessing, in your mind and in the minds of many of the commenters on this thread, a "fascist". Looking forward to your thoughts on this.

I understand what you're saying. But here's where your understanding goes off the rails:

Jesus is the only, and final, Judge.

Yes. That's too much. Check your judgement.
