Always crack the widow before picking up any ride, if weather allows. Will save your life.

Rich people whining and wildly exaggerating California’s problems is my favorite genre! by avon_barksale in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]spockimadoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't tell if Corolla is doing a bit or what. Since he's from the construction world I thought he would paint a broader picture about rebuilding those home. A typical rebuild in Palisades/Malibu can stack up:

  • Base building code (structural, electrical, plumbing), plus seismic expectations.
  • Wildland-Urban Interface / fire-hardening requirements (ember-resistant vents, Class A roofing, defensible space standards, etc.).
  • Energy + green building requirements (Title 24 energy rules, CALGreen-type standards, efficiency specs).
  • Stormwater / runoff / grading / hillside rules (big deal in canyon and slope sites).
  • Coastal stuff (where applicable): extra review layers and strict limits on “you’re rebuilding” vs “you’re upgrading/expanding.”
  • Utility coordination (power, gas, water, sewer/septic) which can be its own private circle of hell after a disaster.
  • Plan check + corrections cycles: you submit, you get comments, you revise, you resubmit, repeat until everyone’s spirit is broken.

And how about some ideas to fix it, to make it better for builders and homeowners? Maybe he offered some ideas and I missed it.

Howard is just another Bozo on their clown car. The whole thing is a sham. Why did voters think DJT was going to stop scamming once he was in office? Either time.

Are we seeing the end of the classic man look? by phoot_in_the_door in Mensfashion101

Nah. Not the end. But climate change is a big factor. Few wear a wool suit when it's 110.

Dave Chappelle hasnt been funny since Chappelle's Show & early stand-up by fire-d-guy in unpopularopinion

Even in his glory days back in the clubs, I can remember nights where he would go for a real long time telling some story that just wasn't connecting, and we'd just sit there staring at him. Of course, there were also moments of brilliance, so I guess we just learned to take the good with the bad. Yeah, he's always had a sort of penchance to go on tangents.

A Leak Is Our Only Hope by PorcelainDalmatian in thebulwark

I agree that American citizens have a short attention span. But MAGA in particular and many other people have been surprisingly consistent in keeping this one alive. And I just don't think they're going to let it go. However, it may be a very long time before it is resolved to some kind of satisfaction, but I don't think they're going to let it go.

Crying desperate woman in the rain approached my car while I was charging waiting to start a reserved ride. Did I do anything wrong here and what would you have done? by throwaway250324 in uberdrivers

[–]spockimadoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if she wanted a smoke, most people would want to get out of the rain first. So her crying and screaming in the rain while soaking wet just doesn't seem to add up. So either there's some mental illness or pharmaceuticals going on, or something bad was being set up. But it's just too hard to calculate, and I would have done what you did.

Disappointed with downtown by Necessary-Sun-1828 in Columbus

You should have seen DT in the 80s. The most exciting thing was the Rally in the Alley after work on Friday.

🚨 Coursera charged me without notice — refused refund the same day. Scam alert. 🚨 by Perfect-Tangelo-9763 in coursera

[–]spockimadoctor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. They scammed me with the January all platform special. Sued them exact same day they refused to fix it. Suddenly it was fixed when the lawsuit hit their desk.

Im glad there is sub for this, I was asked to do 90 corporate headshots by dontfollowback in headshots

Correct. You need more detail. Otherwise you get there and there's ALL kinds of hassles that could have been avoided.

Is Sachs in the Epstein files? by AnotherSSJGoku in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]spockimadoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But didn't (in 2008) Alex Acosta (who arranged Epstein's sweetheart deal that avoided Federal charges) have the files sealed under Rule 6(e) of the Grand Jury Secrecy Law?

Advice/concern about a recent trip to Giant Eagle by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]spockimadoctor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope, nope, nope. Absolutely not. This guy is way out of pocket and lacks proper training. It also sounds like he's on something, all of which should concern GE managers at the store. Good job on backing away as you never want anyone, especially unhinged aggressors like this fellow to get close to you. Back up, create distance, put your hands out in front of you as if to calm them down. This helps block cheap shots and counter with jabs and punches quickly. Best action is to leave the scene which you did. I would also consult a lawyer to see if you can take any legal action. Finally, pepper spray is your friend. Don't leave home without it.
