LAPD does not drive Ford Mustangs. Perhaps you meant the Dodge Charger. Even then, most police here drive Ford Explorer SUVs.

Since you mention 10,000,000 people, you are confusing Los Angeles County with the City of Los Angeles. There may be 5 County Supervisors, but the city has a mayor and 15 council members. The other cities (Burbank, Santa Clarita, Glendale

Land is cheap if you can't build on it. Likely no one else wanted a ~$20k personal picnic spot.

The likely reason he was able to buy the land for only $25k is that no structures are permitted to be built. I'm sitting about 3 miles from there, and a whole lot of $500k houses around here get bought and razed for new construction.

CalTech takes in 200 total freshman a year (well back in 1999 it was 200) from the entire world, so they'd just choose the kid who built his own reactor AND had straight A's.

Most of actual firing seemed to happen over what is now the city of Santa Clarita. The "Bermite" mentioned in the wiki made munitions during WWII, and was still making rocket fuel when I was kid in the late 80's. Catching tha

Different departments have different standards. The LAPD has hired some pretty famously dangerous assholes in it's day, so they have become pretty picky. A dude from my high school, whose father was a SWAT lieutenant, tried to join but

I was an early backer of Coin, but by the time it actually shipped to me, years late, Apple Pay had been out for months. My Coin box went unopened into the recycling bin. And this was before I read reviews saying it only worked 1 in 5 tim

I never worked for Steve, but do work with a lot of people who did. I never heard once heard someone say: Man, I sure wish Steve was still here instead of Tim. Not that Steve isn't missed, of course. It's just that Tim is also g

Nope. I see 3-4 tourists taking pictures of the "1 Infinite Loop" sign every time I go to the main campus, yet not one of them took a picture of the giant motorcade that allegedly hung out in front of IL5 for an hour.
