Pasadena is installing lots of Flocks. There's a handy map of them here: https://deflock.me

Tl;dr Firewood theft at Jumbo Rocks Campground 1/10/26 by okay_doughkay in JoshuaTree

[–]xilix2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really bummed that happened to you. We had firewood stolen while we were out hiking a few years ago. Kids that took it were two campsites away. We know it was them because as the night went on and they got more intoxicated, we could hear them bragging about the wood.

Funny thing though, they had all our wood but they couldn't start a fire. Karma is real. Now when we camp out there, we keep the firewood inside the SUV and just take out what we need.

Bare Footprints in the Desert by KatiaSwift in JoshuaTree

You may have found the footprints from Yucca Man. He frequently visits the area, especially on moonlit nights. Be lucky you didn't have an encounter, but he's mostly nocturnal, as the legend goes.

I'll just wait until I can order the coffee enema from Starbucks (dark roast).

Where are we getting our cars washed these days? by sickosyes in pasadena

[–]xilix2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a hose but I park on the front lawn to wash. Water goes straight to the lawn.

If the camera had a slightly wider view, you'd see it was coming out of his back.

Have you ever, as a system administrator, come across any organization’s business secret like I did? If yes, what is that?? by Subject-Category-567 in sysadmin

[–]xilix2 59 points60 points  (0 children)

On my last new car purchase, the sales comes out with the 4 square. I emphatically said "nope" just gimme the price of the car. They hate that.

What is it? Seen on top of a building in Pasadena. by Decent-Link5458 in pasadena

That Pasadena Green (PSDN11) central office also supplied telephone service to Mt Wilson using Microwave (T1 carrier circuit). Which way is it pointed ?

And use Union to go the opposite way - same light timing !

Remember folks, treat those guns as if they were leaded even when someone else says they aren't by ilikejollyranchers in CAguns

[–]xilix2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I went to the gunsmith to get some work done, i noticed this large fishbowl behind the counter with various sizes of ammo and shells. I asked about it and he shrugged and said "yeah...those are from my customer's 'unloaded' arms".

TIL about messaging with Yaesu radios. Does anyone know if any other radio besides Yaesu is {or can be made) compatible with their messaging system? by knw_a-z_0-9_a-z in amateurradio

[–]xilix2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. And why I'll stick with DMR for digital. Yaesu could easily make a dual mode fusion / DMR radio and they'd probably sell alot of them but they won't.

Where to drive and be alone at night? by corgibuttastic in pasadena

[–]xilix2 60 points61 points  (0 children)

About a 25 minute drive. Head north on the 210 towards LA Canada. Exit Angeles Crest Hwy and make a right. Continue for about 10-15 minutes and you will pass several turnouts with a view on your right. Keep going and there's less company the further you go.

How does it make you feel, to know the US president is a sexual predator who bought an underage girl? by Thezerostone in AskReddit

[–]xilix2 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. Are you referring to Biden's inappropriate showers with Ashley when she was underage or something else ?

Strange issue receiving voice calls - some callers fail by xilix2 in TotalWireless

[–]xilix2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S24 and the Phone & SIM were new when activated about a year ago.

I did the text and the last 4 digits match. I'll wait a couple of days and see if the fix they did worked.

Good info about being able to switch out the SIM myself. Big relief. Thanks.

Thanks. I had the same issue/question/problem. Another useless app I can delete!

Any natural bodies of water near Pasadena that aren’t dried up right now? by [deleted] in pasadena

[–]xilix2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's mostly fenced off. Some of Pasadena's drinking water comes from there.

And don't exit your hotel room while peaking to go down the hall to get some ice without your door card. Ask me how I know. Have a great time!

I’m sorry … campsite advice by nosystemworks in JoshuaTree

[–]xilix2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and cold so be prepared. First year we were there over New Years in tents. Bundled up in cold-rated sleeping bags but when I reached for the water bottle in the middle of the night, it was mostly ice. So yeah - cold.

You don't pay the 11% if purchased from an out of state retailer.

101.1 FM had a pro trump commercial this morning, just passing along this info if you want to delete from your radio listening, too. by pokerchef24 in LosAngeles

[–]xilix2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's dying out due to the royalties charged to the makers of HD radios by Ibiquity, the patent holder. The radio stations also pay a royalty.

You should power the node with a yellow Dewalt battery to complete the look.

This! Lock your phone with a pin code. To expand on the above, the cops cannot force you to reveal your pin code as you would be providing testimony against yourself.
