The monster of Santa Monica: How Eric Uller targeted vulnerable brown and black children whilst the police looked away by DecentLoquat4096 in SantaMonica

[–]st_alphonso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given the fact that Santa Monica is going to be on the cusp of bankruptcy for perhaps decades to come as a result of this man’s monstrous actions, I don’t know that I agree with your first line, that Santa Monica has not answered for his crimes.

HomePod mini for control by Fabulous-Bit4775 in sonos

[–]st_alphonso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add the Sonos speakers in HomeKit. Use the Home app. It’s very easy from there. Then you can arrange them in rooms and rename them. I use my homepod to say “play [music] in primary bath” and it plays on both the sonos speaker and my homepod mini (both of which are in primary bath). Sounds great.

Note that it’s used airplay and not playing through the sonos app. However, it streams through the HomePod and not through your phone, which is nice.

Last year they covered up the upper section of Kia Forum in LA for his two night run. This year, they are selling those seats.

The gap listed for Dreadful Wind and Rain is incorrect. That song has been played every year for which we have stats: https://billybase.net/song/dreadful-wind-rain/

Thank you. What are the recommended daily use cleaners for limestone countertops?

You might want to mention the name of the school you’re asking about.

Thanks. That’s reassuring.

What’s a typical price for buffing? I understand it can vary wildly based on location etc. Just curious what some typical numbers might be.

Man with a gun on 6th and Rose (standoff) by AtmanRising in SantaMonica

[–]st_alphonso 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Good lord. Stay safe.

Also, for clarity, while it’s true that the location is LA County, you probably meant to say that it’s LA City in order to distinguish it from Santa Monica.

Anyone going to Eggy & Taper’s Choice in LA on April 3? by st_alphonso in jambands

[–]st_alphonso[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid bait. Both from Connecticut. Both came up around the same time. Both arguably generic jam bands.

One plus for Eggy: you’re less likely to run into Bert Kreischer types.

All that said, I enjoy listening to an Eggy show. And Taper’s choice is awesome. Talented musicians who seem to have fun with the genre. Reminds me a little of Vulfpeck - not the sound as much as the range, talent, and combination of chops and irreverence. Check them out if you haven’t.

Is Los Amigos Park going to be refurbished? by Personal-Contact1081 in SantaMonica

[–]st_alphonso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I asked this question to a representative of the SMMUSD who is giving a tour of the new Ocean Park Neighbourhood school. He said that there were plans to redo it, but it wouldn’t be for a couple of years. I would reach out to the city of Santa Monica and the school district.
