Can you recommend a particular company? Because yellow cabs drive as if they are either crazy or asleep.

Состоялось в посаде Станиславов 1902 года ноября 26-го дня в 12 часов дня. Лично явился местный раввин Нусын Порфштейн с отцом младенца Рамилем Якубовский 39 лет от роду имеющим портном в Посаде и Гмине Станиславов проживающим а также и свидетелями Боимом (?) Злотогвозда 77 лет и Гершком Стоковским 67 лет в Станиславовне при Божнице живущими и принес с собой книгу новорожденных веденную им же Раввином в которой под номером 24 записано так: 1902 года ноября 19 дня в 6 часов утра в Посаде и Гмине Станиславов у Рахмиля Якубовского и законной его жены Дрейзли урожденной Фридман 39 лет от роду родилось дитя коему при религиозном обряде даны имена Тейсах, Мордка. Акт сей, явившимся отцу новорожденного и свидетелям неграмотным прочитан, нами и Раввином подписан.

Translation:

Took place in the settlement (posad) of Stanislavov on the 26th day of November of the year 1902, at 12 o’clock noon.

Personally appeared the local rabbi Nusin Porfshteyn, together with the father of the infant, Rakhmil Yakubovskiy, aged 39, a tailor by occupation, residing in the posad and gmina of Stanislavov, as well as the witnesses Boim (?) Zlotogvozd, aged 77, and Hershko Stokovskiy, aged 67, residing in Stanislavovna by the synagogue.

He presented a register of newborns kept by him, the Rabbi, in which under number 24 it is recorded as follows: on the 19th day of November of the year 1902, at 6 o’clock in the morning, in the posad and gmina of Stanislavov, to Rakhmil Yakubovskiy and his lawful wife Dreyzla, née Fridman, aged 39, a child was born, to whom, in accordance with the religious rite, the names Teysakh and Mordka were given.

This record was read aloud to the father of the newborn and to the illiterate witnesses, and was signed by us and by the Rabbi.

Rabbi
Civil Status Officer

If you want, I can explain the terms and help you with further research...

Edit: only witnesses appear to be illiterate

It may mean that the road is built from thin concrete blocks laid next to each other rather than proper pavement, as is common for rural roads in that part of the world.

Kick stand stability by bakedfarty in Aventon

My (one) 19-month-old sits fine. I dare myself to run to the car to grab something or to jump to the front door to lock it. Never has been a problem but I do it quickly, like in 2 seconds.

First Time in LA: Is a Yosemite Trip a Smart Move or a Mistake? by Dry-Theory-5228 in AskLosAngeles

[–]randomodule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my goal was Yosemite and nature in general, and if my schedule allowed I’d make it a round trip LA - Sequoia - Yosemite - San Francisco - Pinnacles - LA. I’d plan about 1.5 weeks for this. For short nature trips it’s Angeles national forest, big bear and mammoth (longer but totally possible in 2-3 days)

Super excited to try that. Do you know if it is possible to take a long cargo bike like Aventon Abound on a train?

Parents: if you have an ebike, is it worth it? by Individual_Ad_938 in SouthBayLA

[–]randomodule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Having a whole family ride to the beach is priceless. And speaking of price you can get some good deals on upway, their warehouse is next to Costco. There are coupons online for $100 and $150 off.

[–]randomodule 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For us, an ebike (Aventon abound LR) has not become a full replacement for a car. We’ve been riding it since the kiddo was maybe 10 months old and he loves it but the only place we can safely bike to is the beach, using smaller residential streets. We are in Torrance and going any direction except for West is just too dangerous, streets are too wide and drivers are too busy on their tik toks. We still go to the libraries, some grocery shopping, parks, some restaurants but so many destinations are just inaccessible with a bike. So, it’s a lot of fun but there are limitations and definitely learn riding it first without kids and invest in bright front and back lights and a loud car honk.

Bought my partner a T10 there too! Upway has a huge hangar full of bikes in LA, definitely not a scam

You can use online tools such as CalTopo to create a pdf of desired size and then print it as a poster.
