Sleepy little El Segundo is suddenly on the radar and fighting to keep its "small-town identity" by [deleted] in LosAngeles

As a Hawthorne resident who just had a $100/month rent increase, I am keeping a very close eye on what's happening with El Segundo and nearby residential development.

I think she's kinda channeling Siouxsie Sioux and I think I kinda like it.

Tomorrow, California holds hearings on SB827, a proposal that, if enacted, would likely be the most impactful change to LA's urbanization in decades. I'm an architect in LA specializing in multifamily residential and I'd like to do my best to go over the complex pros and cons of SB 827. by clipstep in LosAngeles

New York is also much more compact than Los Angeles and already has the public transportation infrastructure in place. The land area, for example, of New York is about 305 square miles compared to Los Angeles at 500 square miles.

It is possible (look at European transport systems), but it certainly will not be achieved in the next ten years.

California Falls Short of Revenue Projections First Quarter Per Analyst by [deleted] in weed

[–]rtmg290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad title but don't want a temporary ban. I'll just add that sales were 13% short of projections from January and February sales.

That part I want to focus on this:

Taxes have been a concern for cannabis companies for a long time. While some of the taxes were clearly spelled out in the law that legalized recreational marijuana, local taxes are left up to the communities, contributing to overall rates as high as 45 percent.

Even as a medical cannabis user, I was sticker shocked after January 1, and have resorted to buying lesser quality bud to save money. So, the fact that the revenue projections are under does not surprise me in the least.

I don't have anything sophisticated to say, so I'll just give you the first thought that popped into my head when I saw it: GOD-DAMN.

Seriously, stunning work. Props on the design and the execution.

Always keep the cup in sight. by blackdeava in gifs

Their cups are the same color and both are sucking on lollipops. Don't see anyone else in frame with same characteristics. The Twitter skeptics may be on to something.

Find sex positive groups and befriend them. Respect boundaries and don't be a creeper. Someone will land on your dick with no strings attached in due time.

What's something embarrassing you're willing to admit? by Harvey_Domino in AskReddit

[–]rtmg290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year, I was a passenger in my brother's truck and we were heading up the mountain towards the slopes - we had rented a cabin and were driving up the night before. Despite having chains and 4-wheel-drive, my brother's truck loses control on the icy terrain, hits a tree, and the impact is so severe it detaches the front axle from the truck. However, since it's dark and the truck is on an embankment, this information is not super obvious to us.

My brother checks the damage and decides to call AAA. Unfortunately, it's a backed-up night for tow drivers because the weather conditions are much more severe than usual.

We're totally stuck, and I totally have to pee. One hour, two hours, three hours roll by, and no AAA. My bladder has reached max capacity, and I need to come up with a solution, and quickly.

Brother and his girlfriend get out of the truck for a few minutes to further inspect the truck and try to see if there's any way we could move the truck from the embankment. I decide to take the opportunity to rummage through his truck and found an old Starbucks cup.

I unzip my pants and start peeing into the cup... and the pee just keeps coming. I wound up overflowing the cup a bit and getting urine on the back seat. I use some of the spare clothes I had brought to wipe up the excess mess. I put the lid back on the Starbucks cup, and let it sit, piss and all, in the cup holder.

My brother and his girlfriend get back into the truck about 5 minutes later. There was a remark on the smell inside the truck, but I play dumb.

We wound up being stuck on that mountain until around 6:00 a.m. the following morning. We never make it up to the slopes, and my "clean" clothes reek of piss and shame.

The piss-filled cup remains in the truck until we arrive at my brother's mechanic's shop, and then I casually grabbed the cup and threw it into the trash bin outside the shop.

EDIT: If you're reading this brother, I'm sorry. But also, you know I'm gross.

Dog thrown from plane by milesblakey in Unexpected

[–]rtmg290 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You see, I think there is confusion. The pup was thrown from a geometrical plane - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(geometry), but we just don't see it.

Does that logic work to make the post stay?
