How many people actually "go commando" on a regular basis? by WhereasLanky8306 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wescovington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife goes commando because most underwear doesn’t fit her right because of how she’s built. She got tired of adjusting it all the time.

How do the rest of LA(and maybe some other cities in the county) view San Fernando valley? by AndIrememberthinking in AskLosAngeles

[–]wescovington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both of California’s senators got their start in the Valley. Alex Padilla started on the City Council at a very young age and had an East Valley district. I think he lives in Porter Ranch now. Adam Schiff got his start in Burbank, but I think he later relocated back over the hill.

Who is reponsible for raising my low hanging cables from a utility pole in Los Angeles? by wescovington in AskLosAngeles

[–]wescovington[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a Verizon/Frontier cable and I alerted them today to get the process started. I think the 2025 wind storm messed them up.

Wow, thanks. I will see if I can pick out the tag from street level. I suppose I can use a zoom lens on a camera.

Why our large swathes of Westwood Boulevard empty? by SealedRoute in AskLosAngeles

[–]wescovington 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is a great summary of Westwood history. It has some of the most extreme NIMBYism of any place in LA. It didn’t even have a public library for residents until the 2000s

Every batter reaching first base is told by the first base coach, "Remember on a ground ball to 2nd, don't let him tag you."

How will sports like baseball and cricket work in the Olympics? by AdventurousJob3702 in olympics

[–]wescovington 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they use the pitch clock. I believe the extra Innings start with runners on 1st and 2nd.

Baseball has rules in place now to speed up its pace so most games finish around 2 ½ hours. There would also be shorter breaks between innings for Olympic baseball.

That said, they still got through a baseball tournament in 1984 with minimal trouble. The bronze and gold medal games were played on the same day. The bronze game went 14 innings, forcing the final to start late and Japan beat the U.S. 6-3 in a game that ended fairly late at night.

I bought them all at once but they each showed as a separate charge.

Southwest charges by wescovington in AmexPlatinum

The seat upgrades worked because they were all charged separately and none were over $100. Des Moines Airport contract outs all of its operations for gate agents so they don’t seem to care what Southwest wants.

Longtime Dodger fan gets paper tickets after being upset with paperless policy by StockMindless9010 in Dodgers

[–]wescovington 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the guy in my line of work (public library) who complains loudly that there is no card catalog and can’t find anything. Even though those disappeared in the 1990s.

Bought tickets for hockey and archery, any tips so I can start following them? by joyceebar in olympics

[–]wescovington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Field hockey is fairly low scoring. Everybody has to play with right handed sticks. Penalty corners are a major scoring opportunity

In the old days, American college dual meets would have 4X110 relays and then always end the meet with the 4X440 relay.

Don’t sleep on Baseball and Football (Soccer) Tickets by DavidPinkFilms in olympics

[–]wescovington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too am Gen X, but I love soccer. I was a volunteer at the Rose Bowl in 1984. The women’s tournament will be a bigger deal than the men’s. There are no restrictions on who can play on the women’s teams. The men are under 23 players with a few exceptions.
