Unfortunately, yeah. Back on r/losangeles people knew the reputation of HB (and a number of other beach communities, especially as you push further south).

Truly ridiculous, though, to want to commemorate a building like this with the name of a movement that wasn’t there when the building was built, and has no ties to the purpose of the building. They rage about identity politics but have somehow tied their identity into their political beliefs.

I’m in the LA area. Glad that we’re staying above freezing, especially in the wake of the fires.

But seriously, it feels like we’re getting these humongous weather patterns fairly regularly now. Maybe someone should investigate what’s going on with our global climate and causing these.

It’s a real shame; Irvine has lots of great food, and it’s another large east-Asian population center within the LA-OC metro area, but it’s also so staunchly Republican that I can’t stand to watch local news down there.

That’s nothing against the university, though. I have family who got their degrees there, and I even took summer classes on campus once. I dig the school and it was my fallback when I applied for colleges (back when it was possible to have a fallback).

I believe Erdogan (and Turkey in general) were big players in getting the wheat trade deal settled, as well as the prisoner exchange, though I could be misremembering. It’s just a weird situation of Erdogan having a history of centralizing power, but also making moves to be more relevant on the global stage.

It makes sense to me. Biden and Trump have Secret Service detail already. RFK does not. Biden wants to make sure that it at least looks like all 3 candidates are being protected from more violence.

To be more specific, there are 4 time zones in the contiguous 48 states: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. Alaska is also one hour behind Pacific, and Hawaii (usually) one hour behind Alaskan. But Hawaii also doesn’t observe daylight savings time.

This also doesn’t account for how some states (like Arizona) don’t observe DST while Navajo Nation (in Arizona) does, while Hopi land (surrounded by Navajo) doesn’t.

Time is confusing.

One of my hens came up to me as I stepped outside, but instead of following me around, she leaped at something to my left. She shredded apart a 4-inch long mantis!

First, I’m glad they found the kid. No one deserves to be manipulated and taken like that.

Second, dude, wtf? He’s in his 30s and thinks that this is something he should do? The kid is literally half his age, and he seems to think that they’re in any position for a genuine romantic relationship? Gross.

Is there a source for this?

Sorry, that’s my bad. When I see something that looks like a request for information, I try my best to answer it. Even if you personally don’t find it useful, someone else in a similar position but different perspective on learning might be interested. Sorry, hope you have a good day!

He’s saying that if you can change a hard drive, then you can always just keep a spare one (with a clean OS install) on hand to use whenever you take it in for repairs.

Changing a hard drive is basically knowing where the hard drive is, how to access it, and then unplugging and replugging some cables. Fairly easy, and most newer cases have been designed to make it easy to reach the storage bays.

Harper played but got ejected after contesting a check swing call.

When I was losing weight, tracking my progress on things like running and weight helped me stay consistent with it. Every time you exert yourself, it’s towards a goal, and if you can track your progress it feels less pointless.
