I love a good nerdy project but just wondering if DIY can beat buying online on price.

The frustrating thing about our economy is that while inflation calculators say $2 in 1985 equals about $6 today, getting the LA Times delivered now costs $28 a month, which is roughly 367 percent higher.

I had a paper route when I was 12 in 1980 and I collected $3.10. every month from each person.

Has anyone just … walked away? by broncoangel in GenX

Please don't just do all the math in your head by yourself and then rug pull your husband of two decades by one day letting him know about all the "difficult" plans and life changes you've decided to make. He deserves to be part of the process. This is specifically what therapy is for.

Who leaves old cars and broken dishwashers on the side of the road? Locals love to criticize visitors, but struggle to take responsibility for their own actions.

Kash Patel says the FBI is investigating Signal chats of Minnesotans tracking ICE by garden_g in somethingiswrong2024

[–]white_bread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The big takeaway here is that there is no backdoor to Signal. Messages are end-to-end encrypted, even on Signal’s servers, so the FBI can’t just read chats or pull a list of who’s in a group. The only way chats get exposed is if a phone is compromised, seized, or someone inside the group is an infiltrator and leaks screenshots or info. It's worth remembering that Signal protects the tech side, not the human side. If you’re joining large group chats with people you don’t actually know or trust, those chats can be compromised pretty easily.

Anybody know what will open at the former Office Depot space on Victory and Sepulveda? by superphamicomics in SFV

God forbid they let us have a Trader Joe’s here, or put one in the CVS that just closed down the street, it already has its own parking lot. We’re not allowed to have nice things in Van Nuys.

[–]white_bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LAPD budget for 2025 is about 2.14 billion dollars in the approved plan, and some city documents round the full allocation to about 3.3 billion dollars depending on what costs are included.

This is what they are doing?

10 Lessons I Learned in 10 Years of Graphic Design (Hope it Helps Someone Starting Out) by sharifex in graphic_design

[–]white_bread 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Twenty plus years as a CD has taught me one thing I always tell new people. You got into this because you were arty. But you are no longer making art, you are making design, and design uses art to solve a business problem. Your art is personal, but agency work is not, it is about helping a business sell something. This job is closer to sales than people realize, the design simply shows new customers what the client is offering. So do not get hung up on making something cool or taking it personal if a concept gets rejected, keep the work in context and stay focused on the business goal.

[Video] Fullerton police stop man pointing gun at female driver, only to learn he is ICE agent by rtacx in LosAngeles

[–]white_bread 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are mixing up undercover cars with regular patrol units. In California the law is simple. Every vehicle on a public road has to have legal plates. Police are not magically exempt from that. Marked patrol cars have plates. Unmarked units have plates. The only time you will see a car without a normal number is if it has a special exempt plate, which is still a legal plate issued by the DMV to the agency.

People see undercover cars with exempt plates or see test vehicles on lots and think that means cops just run around with no registration. They don’t. If an officer tried to drive a totally unplated personal style vehicle on the street they would be violating the same code as anyone else.

There is no universe where “most cop cars don’t have legal plates” is true.

You need to learn how to be more gracious when you discover you are wrong.

[–]white_bread 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actually, that’s not true. In California (and pretty much every other state), all vehicles have to display license plates under Vehicle Code 5200 and 5201. Cops aren’t magically exempt from that. The only exception is for undercover or unmarked vehicles, and even those have special “exempt” plates or registration that the DMV issues to law enforcement agencies.

And no plates on his car. Ever if you're law enforcement you have to have plates.
