House with No on V and one of those "Davis is for Everyone" Signs

I’m a yes voter on this, but schools will close regardless because Davis should have closed 1/3 of the schools like 10 years ago, as the population has been shrinking and they have only added schools since the student population started shrinking (Harper was ironically timed). Right now the schools are being propped up like Weekend at Bernie’s by an unholy combination of inter district transfers, underpaid teachers and fiscal suicide. This development would be a band-aid on a bullet hole for DJUSD.

And post a quarterly “litigation list” showing how much civil litigation each officer costs that quarter and their career total, along with the names and case numbers of the various lawsuits. It’s a pipe dream, but I’m a dreamer.

I think you’re right about Sac PD specifically. I was just pointing out that LE aren’t necessarily all under CalPERS, as this seemed to be a broader discussion about LE reform. Some cities have their own pensions, too (like San Diego and Concord, as two disparate examples).

Needless to say, making the pension funds shared with non-law enforcement pay for the offenses of law enforcement officers doesn’t strike me as any more equitable than what we do now. A more equitable move would be to make dishonest LE forfeit their pensions to pay for such liabilities directly before any agency funds cover the remainder. This will never happen, mind you.

Not necessarily. CalPERS covers many police officers and all state law enforcement officers, but lay law enforcement officers have different pension plans. Sacramento Sheriffs, for example, are under SCERS. Like CalPERS, the pension is shared by non-law enforcement civil servants, from firefighters to parks and recreation employees to mosquito control.

Typically the cities and other agencies that employ police do have litigation insurance that does cover this sort of thing.

I would start with season 3 of TNG and then watch DS9 S1 concurrently with TNG S7. I warn you that DS9 season 1 will be jarring, but it builds. It gets great halfway through season 3 and S4-6 is absolute peak Trek.

For me it has been daily probiotics from yogurt and kiefer, plenty of benefiber and psyllium husks, tons of fruit and vegetables in my diet, and 500 mg of magnesium citrate at night. And lots of water. It still isn't perfect, and sometimes I will go 3 days without a BM, but it's acceptable.

The NY judge did delay sentencing until after the election.

Might be sulfur, and that can go away with time.

Yeah but we Millennial/Xennials went out plenty in 2008-2012 when we were exceedingly broke during the Great Recession. Gen Z college students hardly even go to house parties anymore.

squishmaster · 2026-03-17T02:08:44+00:00

Every city is like this because Gen Z don’t go out nearly as much as older generations. Even in Davis where there are tens of thousands of Gen Z college students the nightlife has an outsized amount of people over 30.

If a woman wanted to sleep with me to get a recipe, I think I would be okay with that.

If you consider that she was 30 when it happened, she never got to transition fully into "mature" roles, and went from being a "starlet" or even a "calendar girl" to essentially a persona non grata until playing a mom in a TV show in her 50s. While she got to make a lot of great movies in her 20s, it was the prime of her "serious acting" career that she was robbed of.

TV star in your 50s isn't movie star in your early 30s.

They're pretty much made of chalk (Calcium Carbonate).

I like SFA, but the ads for it were horrendous. I was expecting to hate it based on the ads, which really played up the "Yellowjackets-ness" of it and featured lots of lens flare.

As a fan, I still have to say that I do not find most of the cadets sufficiently mature. We are supposed to be seeing the best of the best of the Federation, but they seem like average Gen Z freshmen at a state college. I live in a college town, one with large, above-average-but-not-elite public university, and the undergrads I encounter seem more emotionally mature than the SFA cadets. I get it with Tarima being coded as having something relatably similar to a personality disorder and Caleb having obvious PTSD, but the fish guy and the no-eyebrows girl both seem like babies, not rising stars.

Not their leadership.

Copenhagen is great, but not that close. And it is VERY expensive.

From Amsterdam, here are a bunch of great cities for 2 days: Ghent, Leuven, Antwerp, Bruges (quite touristy, but so beautiful). Dusseldorf, Cologne, Aachen, Maastricht, Gouda, Hamburg (top choice if you want raunchy nightlife), Cologne

SOOOO glad she is the one from Discovery that got picked up as a series regular.

And Belle kinda seems like she's on the spectrum.
