I work at a healthcare facility, and the "emotional support" animals are a huge problem. We only allow Service Animals in our building. I frequently ask patients to keep their birds and even reptiles in the car. The ADA is very sp

Indeed. I work at a local clinic and see the fallout of the opioid crisis on a daily basis. I'm always surprised how the Opium Wars seldom comes up in these discussions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Opium_Wa

I've noticed a decline in Monarchs here in Northern California as well. The very few I do see are colored differently than when I was a kid. They used to be a deep orange hue, but now they are all a pasty yellow color. At first I thou

I have the same experience. I've never met anyone else with my name - Nehemiah. If I order food, I use the name Tom. No one wants to spell my name out, including me. Also the consonants are easily confused, so if I do spell it out peop

You're right, it was 2003. I was only 21 when I moved there and it was all a bit of a blur.

Hmmmm...I'm trying to verify the outage in LA. The tweet about the power outage at LAX is from today, but the other tweet in the example is from 2/22/17. No articles about a power outage in LA are popping up on google. Someth

I lived in NYC during the 2001 blackout. It was the first power outage since 1977. The lights don't go out in NYC...it's a really big deal when they do.

Santa Rosan checking in. Can confirm, we have a lot of really great breweries here. I'm surprised there was no mention of Pliney the Younger by Russian River Brewery in the article. This town fills up with people from around the world

I heard they were bred to be alarm dogs. Nothing was getting close to your camp if you had a chihuahua. That's why they never shut up, and they are so difficult to ignore. My friend from Mexico told me that - he's not a dog author

I agree with you, women's fashion choices are not something I think I'm an authority on. But, I research music equipment thoroughly before I make a purchase. There are a couple sites I use that I've white listed in AdBlocker

"I'd argue there is at least some value in taking enjoyment from improving yourself at any task" I agree but I think the task has to be meaningful in some way. I used to play modern warfare 2 from dawn til bedtime because I w

A lot of people I know feel that way too. We're all somebody's son or daughter. We may have sons or daughters of our own. I don't have kids, but I want to see a better world for my niece and nephews.It's really about the

I read a post where someone actually set up a honey pot without actually hosting CP. There was an application system where the pedos thought they were going to get cp via an application process or were a big enough part of the "communi

I'm in agreement vtange. This paragraph stuck out the most to me: "In the meantime, do everything you can to help, support, and stand up for the millions of people whose country just let them down, many of whom live in homes and c

I'm a big fan of Arturia and picked up a Key Lab 49 SE with their Prophet V & Solina plug ins. Truly beautiful synths...but the build quality of their key beds is horrible. I lurk their forums a lot and I feel really lucky I recei

I've worked as a Greeter in a Health Clinic for 6 years and I get paid to be "nice." Here's what's interesting: Not everyone likes when I'm nice to them - in fact, some of them get downright offended. I don&#x2

I'm not so sure we live in a Democracy anymore. Peggy Noonan wrote an article suggesting we live in a 2 tiered society - we have people who make the Policies and the people who have to live with the Policies (the Policed). The Policy M

I agree. I use my iMac to run my music studio and none of these features appeal to me in the least. I suppose users who own an iphone or iwatch may be excited about this update, but I don't own either of those devices. Most of these f

I read a great article describing how Walmart does this. Companies who pay a living wage, like Costco, essentially subsidize Walmart by allowing them to pay low wages. Government Safety Nets like food stamps, medi-cal, etc., make up for the
