HOA's are in theory a choice. In practice, in many regions anywhere built out in the last 30 years (more?) years is covered by them and there is no real choice. I absolutely loath them for this reason. There is no "choice" ab

About a decade ago I ordered some from a nursery in florida, in retrospect I'm not sure that's an ideal thing to do. But I think I did order directly form the nursery so hopefully they were following the regulations, whereas amazo

fun fact, you can grow Lignum Vitae in SoCal in certain areas, not just in Florida. San Diego would probably grow lignum vitae well because it seems to like the random humid weeks in Los Angeles and just exists for the rest of the year

After looking at that product page and seeing how something that looks innocuous can be so insidious, does anyone else wonder just a bit whether the page is not so innocent and visiting it may have been a mistake.

Stainless steel? Wait until the people scared of vaccines find out what's in tattoo ink. What's the overlap between tattooed and vaccine hesitant?

what about immunocompromised people who don't really have a choice. Some of them get the vaccine but it gives them no anti-bodies, as if they were not vaccinated. What about them?

NPR yesterday was interviewing a guy who'd had an organ transplant and thus has to take immunosuppressant drugs. He'd been vaccinated, it was either pfizer or moderna. His doctor tested him for antibodies, his were undetectable. H

The article actually talks about a misting system set up a few decades ago for the tree since coastal redwoods can take in a lot of their water from fog. It didn't make clear what the current status of that system was or I missed that

Irvine is notable for it's sterility and being family friendly and clean. While it's safe (mostly) to walk around late at night, there's nowhere to walk. All of it is basically office park style landscaping mandated by HOA&#x

More people should grow some food in their yard. There's quite a few benefits to it in addition to getting a small amount of produce like better understanding of natural cycles and more of a connection to the environment that sustains

I occasionally saw signs that said "nothing of value" on car windows near where I lived, but I always figured the thieves would assume that's what someone who kept stuff in their car would post. Did you get broken into a lot?

What do you mean by that? By culture and diversity I meant the hubbub of the city, with a ton going on and all types of stores, bars, and restaurants but the way it's phrased in your comment sounds a lot more pointed and not at all wh

Certain suburbs like Irvine CA are for safety but not for diversity and culture of a city. Choose one.

Most shoes are sold in a single width. A study showed that at a given shoe length, offering single width means only 40% of people with that length can wear the shoe. This didn't even check how adding foot volume in the mix would decrea

The comment I responded to stated this: "There are lots of problems still obviously *but in general women in China are quite equal to men.*" From what you yourself say, women in china are not quite equal to men. There's ways

From my understanding of Chinese culture from having a minor in chinese, I'm very skeptical of equality of women in china except as a CCP official "fact". And pointing to the absolute number of female billionaires should real

If you're in california, it's because california regulation is very specific in what can be used for car insurance rating and those apps are not one of them.

There would be some good reasons, for example regulations could mandate that only factors that one can change and are most directly related to driving are valid for the rate setting. i.e. field of employment or income cannot be used but spe

This seems highly dystopian and wildly inaccurate. The beatings will continue until moral improves.

Reading all the comments as someone who grew up on macs and only encountered windows much later on, all the comments here are quite amusing because it's rather clear that 95% of people commenting are windows users first who encountered

As someone who only encountered windows after a decade of using mac and started using windows (not by their own choice) there are hundreds of little annoying, broken or inconsistent OS things I find. Now I've used windows for a decade,

wow I did not realize mac had that. As an original mac user cutting a file always seemed like a terrible idea when I saw the option on windows. What if you cut it but then then get interrupted before pasting? File gone! The mac way seems sa

It's a natural next step. It's hardly a slippery slope argumentative fallacy to suggest the precedent would extend to a logical next step. And are counties only allowed to do it if they are contiguous with their desired state?
119.
by icedistilled 5y ago
It sets a bad precedent. Any county can just vote to break off into another state due to political reasons or to form their own state? Either one party will use that to their advantage and disallow the other party from doing the same, or ev

Where does it actually say they are deficit spending? I see the total budget is like $227B but I don't see the total intake. I even did some quick googling could find that number.
