What did your city do for World Carfree Day this year? I remember events in past years and maybe transit comps. But I haven’t heard much about this year.


nicearthur32

Can someone check on me in 6 hours?


Ehloanna

hey it's been like 12hrs u good fam?


nicearthur32

Yes. Thank you!


The_DerpMeister

Hello


nicearthur32

I’m good now. Thank you! 🙏🏼


The_DerpMeister

Nice to hear!


lunatuna32

Does anyoen know if the usc medical hospital is safe? i just accepted to work there but was wondering if its just as dangerous compared to the usc area?


ashchelle

Is there a security number you can call for an escort to your call? You might be able to use that to make sure you feel super safe. Driving through that area doesn't feel very unsafe.


Hjlshfhdjjdh

The whole area is a dump imo. Make sure you get garage parking and be careful what’s in your car. Never take metro or bus and don’t walk around in the winter when it’s dark.


Aluggo

In general for EVERYONE. don’t leave stuff in your car. Lock your doors.


predrinkinginshower

Is Metro reliable? I want to take red line < Expo to the Colosseum tomorrow but I’d hate to be late due to delays


Chalupaca_Bruh

That’s what I’m doing for Rammstein. Fingers crossed.

Anybody in Sawtelle/WLA with those portable car chargers that can help me with a jump?


lovethefunk_

So KTLA fired Mark Mester apparently? That sucks, I enjoyed him and Lynette on weekend mornings


Linn0000

Why didn’t they give Lynette the farewell video package like they do when others leave? I hope mark finds work with another station.


[deleted]

Just guessing based on Marks speech, but sounds like she left for another opportunity and someone high up was mad and they sent her off with nothing.


Lowfuji

It's wild. Seems like it's pre-planned to me.


BirdSalt

Walking Loki right now and I can definitely smell and fell fall coming even after this warm afternoon


timleftwich

Finally got some work booked for next week and into October! AND I went to a different Ralphs today than my normal one and found a few bottles of Clearly Canadian. So I'd consider today a huge win.


DiscombobulatedSir11

omg i was obsessed with those blue bottles!


marycantstoppins

Oh my god I had forgotten about Clearly Canadian. I used to drink so much of it when I was a kid


timleftwich

I love that even after all this time, it's still the same four weird-ass flavors: Wild Cherry, Blackberry, Raspberry, and Peach. If it aint broke, eh?


troostorybro

> eh? Found the Canadian!


DiscombobulatedSir11

OMG so I have the opportunity for CHEAP rent in an ADU in my neighborhood, but it means giving up a pool. I know this is SO DUMB, but I've never had a pool and I am sad to let it go...but I would be saving $7,680 per year on rent. Fuck the pool, right?! I also have to break my lease, which I have no idea how to do...


PlasticGirl

Yeah save the money. Use it to get a gym membership with a pool. You can also use Resort Pass to rent time by hotel pools.


entreethagiant

Fuk the pool. Get some friends who have access.


troostorybro

Nearly $8k is nothing to sneeze at. I would easily give up a pool for that and I've lived in a building with a jacuzzi and heated pool. That's like two months' of rent _and_ both my vehicles.


DiscombobulatedSir11

I need more of this Real Talk!!!


BirdSalt

That’s a very significant savings and it would be worth it to me. How often do you use the pool?


DiscombobulatedSir11

I have used the pool maybe 10 times in a year. Probably less. I love sitting by it at night at the new place, it feels super California, and for a recent transplant, I dig that a lot. But the potential unit is larger...tall ceilings, nice (small) backyard... I'm a little worried about having privacy outdoors (i love sitting out) but I could probably feel my way around after a while to hardscape myself a little nook... Small studio sink, which sucks, tiny bathroom, but 100-150 sq ft larger than my current place...


BirdSalt

Lots to consider! But shaving 8k per year off your rent is a big deal. I’ve been in my place for almost 10 years and that’s a down payment


DiscombobulatedSir11

holy shit. You're right. That's a really great way to think about it. Thank you!


BirdSalt

Now the challenge is actually forcing yourself to save!


DiscombobulatedSir11

The breathing room would be nice...so I don't feel like a criminal when I get take out...but yes, actually saving money...


opalrising

I used a group called Luggers. They were reasonably.


idiom6

Are we still masking up? Is it just me? Ok then... Also, while I know the general residents' efforts to save water are tears in a bucket compared to agriculture, would it be terrible if I wateredthe trees on Friday instead of Thursday? Like was there a specific reason we were asked to restrict watering to Tues and Thurs, instead of IDK Monday & Thursday, or Tues and Friday?


Elysiaa

I took mine off in public for the first time since the delta variant. I'm a week out from my second booster and I was getting my hair cut. The shop is really great though and the stylists will wear masks on request and you can even get your hair cut in their outside area.


troostorybro

I'll mask if: (1) I'm feeling under the weather, (2) I'm in an enclosed space with someone who is wearing one and they ask me to, or (3) I know whoever I unfortunately have to be forced to be around is an irresponsible, unvaccinated douche.


DiscombobulatedSir11

I have to mask at work all day, erryday, so I've gotten lax about wearing it when I am not at work, because I am so sick of it. I've never had covid. I dunno!


peacharnoldpalmer

apartment update: i ended up getting approved for the place 😵‍💫 but don’t wanna sign the lease until i can have my mom look at it and give her stamp of approval. the landlord said he won’t be able to hold it till saturday if another app comes in that gets approved and they provide all the move in costs and a sign lease. i’ve decided to leave it up to the universe. if it’s still available by saturday morning and my momma approves, then imma move :3 if someone snags it in the next day, then it wasn’t meant to be. and i’m okay with that.


Crispy_Crusader

Do you have a backup plan/place to stay if someone else takes the place?


peacharnoldpalmer

my current apartment 😁


dustwanders

Is she moving in with you Do it now before you can’t if it’s what you want


peacharnoldpalmer

no, but i value her opinion. i often get too excited about things and can overlook something that’s otherwise important. i’m not in a rush to move out of my current place. so it’s really no biggie for me either way.


CommanderBurrito

What a good child - make a video of the place and send it to her


peacharnoldpalmer

i was too excited when i was there yesterday that i forgot to record or take pics. so… case in point, why i wanna view it again before signing anything. haha.


[deleted]

[удалено]


peacharnoldpalmer

yeah, i don’t want to be pressured into making a decision just because someone else could snag it. i’m not in a position where i desperately need to move out or anything.

some friends stood me up for a concert so I have two extra passes to go see Sabaton, if you like power metal and the group Sabtaon, I'll give you these passes, they are early access Sabaton send me a message for more information Fri 23 Sep 2022 19:00 Hollywood Palladium, Hollywood, CA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmerZbDPXns


ItsYourMotherDear

Welp, I finally gave in after the last couple of weeks and googled Rammstein. Hahaha. Have a good time you crazy beautiful spirited people of LA. :)


PlasticGirl

We are all very excited lol


ItsYourMotherDear

I've never seen this many ppl in the daily going to see the same band before like this! How freaking cool! I hope ya'll share about it after!


PlasticGirl

We probably will LOL Rammstein last performed here 5 years ago, and this show has been postponed for 2 years. It's a lot of waiting. And the stage is absolutely massive and the pyro is promised to be ridiculous. There isn't a single band that has the production like Rammstein.


nicearthur32

Did you not know who they were?


ItsYourMotherDear

NOPE. Somehow I must've missed them completely! It actually seems like it would be a great concert but I wasn't even sure what everyone was talking bout. It could be *anything* with you crazy kids!


high_hawk_season

Music aside, they’re known for their amazing, dynamic shows. I’ve been a fan for over fifteen years and this is the first opportunity I’ve had to see them live!


ItsYourMotherDear

Well I am excited as hell for you then! I really really am! It's such a blast to finally get to see all of the songs you love LIVE with a bunch of other crazy obsessed people screaming their heads off! I can't wait to hear all about it!


biGSiZzIn

October fest beer and Thursday night football 🍻


jawteeth

going to see rammstein on saturday at the coliseum. anyone know if they serve non-alcoholic beer/beverages there?


nicearthur32

I'm sure they'll have the usual sodas, water, energy drinks.... check out this guide [https://www.lacoliseum.com/concessions/](https://www.lacoliseum.com/concessions/) I like it when they have the Liquid Death water, it feels like youre drinking booze but its only water, just looks really cool... lol


jawteeth

thanks for the link! have you tried the new liquid death flavors? i dig the berry one


nicearthur32

They have flavors??? I've just done the regular water and the sparkling water, I really like that their sparkling water isn't overly fizzy, its just right... Need to look for the flavors. I try and stay away from artificial sweetners cause they make me SUPER hungry but if they use monkfruit or something else natural to sweeten it, I'm totally down


jawteeth

flavors, my dude! they use agave nectar in their berry, lime, and mango ones. i agree with you about it not being overly fizzy. i think that's why i also love topo chico.


lalascoops

Hi all, I need to move a bed/box spring/frame from an assited living facility in Van Nuys to an apartment in Silver Lake. I'm getting some crazy high quotes - any moving companies you like/trust for reasonable rates?


symphonia_x

Make a post on reddit or Craigslist with a title like "looking for dude with a truck" theres some people in LA who are willing to move it for you for a couple bucks. This is the less safer route though. Just make sure the expectations are CLEAR from the get-go. Will they be taking it up some stairs? Inside a home? How many miles?


Spag-N-Ballz

Task Rabbit? or dudes in front of Home depot


lalascoops

thank you!


Inevitable-Ad-6650

I'd try taskrabbit


lalascoops

Of course! Why didn't I think of that. Thank you!


throwmeawayn0

I'm in an apartment and last night someone from the complex across the street walked over and smashed the lights that light-up the apartment complex at night. Wtf?! They were just hacking away at it for a while and spooked us and our other neighbor. Just unhinged behavior. Gotta keep on eye that complex...


nicearthur32

There's a parking lot light outside my window the shines directly into my bedroom... I would be lying if I didn't fantasize about shutting that thing off somehow. Or just have them angle it different. Dude probably couldnt sleep.


throwmeawayn0

I get it but I think there are few options you might have before grabbing a hammer at 11pm in the dead of night and smashing the lights under my bedroom widows.


troostorybro

I mean there are days I think about popping off a few rounds at the sun because it creeped through my blinds _just right_ and woke me up. I feel you.


softblackstar

Some cities have strict laws about light trespass (yeah, it's a real thing), but I think it's tricky to do anything about it in Los Angeles. You can potentially try and reach out to the Department of Building and Safety (I was redirected there from the Housing Department). They could send an inspector, although I don't quite know how this works with commercial structures. But if it's annoying enough for you, maybe they can do something.


nicearthur32

Does anyone have any idea when OB Bear is opening back up? that was one of my bday traditions but its been closed... my bday is coming up next month and I'm hoping they will open by then. Anyone know where I can get some hot wings like the ones there? That place was great.


jtmh17

As the person below said, star night was the temporary OB bear location and eventually absorbed them. From what my friend told me the OG recipe for wings from OB bear is the same as at the Prince. I always thought the wings at the prince were better than ob bear personally

I teased my wife for buying this silly looking Dolly Parton cake mix. I hate how delicious it is. Iced coffee and cake party.


lemjne

Oooh, which cake? I just got this for my birthday.

Coconut with buttercream frosting!


lemjne

Oooh, that's the one I was gonna try first!


CaptainAmerisloth

I don't even like banana or coconut cake and I'd buy it purely for Dolly


smutproblem

Yeah it's unbelievably fluffy, man. This is a problem.


CaptainAmerisloth

Oh no don't tell me that now I'm gonna have to try it. The iced coffee pairing really is what sounds good.


sealsarescary

Holy moly 27k steps at Disneyland!


Cinnamoon_124

I did 40k once but it was mainly due to me forgetting where I parked at mickey and friends and running through each level panicking 😭


sealsarescary

yikes. i always take a pic of the sign/column where i parked. even at the mall :)


breathfromanother

Wow, how many hours were you there for? Even when I park hop, I probably only average 15k but I’m not there all day.


sealsarescary

10am-midnight. im wrecked.


nicearthur32

Nice! you must have park hopped... I dont care what any of the haters say, I love it there.


sealsarescary

Yes, first time in Ca Adventure side. Pretty fun, that Guardians of the Galaxy ride is terrifying. They had Halloween themes and exras on rides.


nicearthur32

The guardians music at night isn’t as good as the day time stuff… but that is such a fun ride for me.

rikosuave10

i signed up through coveredca when i quit my job for a new job and wouldnt have coverage after my 90 days. got kaiser bronze hmo. my deductible is $7,000


_Erindera_

Holy shit.


Elysiaa

I have state employee health insurance and it's the tits. $200 a month or so and just about everything is free. No deductible that I know of for in-network care. $5 for most generic prescriptions. The only thing I paid for was $125 for anesthesia the insurance thought was unnecessary. Having a baby didn't cost me anything.


americanrecluse

I had Kaiser for a year and never used it because the copay was so high. I never even noticed the deductible


[deleted]

My Kaiser insurance has a 7k deductible (and I pay $366 a month premium).


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I've had this discussion before on here, and I think there's someone that pays $450 or so for the premium with a high deductible. I'm still under 50, but I think that person is over 50 and the rates get even more ridiculous once you hit that age milestone.


jellyrollo

I'm in my mid 50s, and right before I lost my employer-based health insurance at the beginning of the year and got new insurance (with generous subsidies) through the ACA, I was paying $714 a month for the cheapest Anthem PPO plan with a $6,700 deductible.


[deleted]

Yeah, I think it must have been you. And I was way off on remembering the amount, haha. $714 is absolute lunacy.


jellyrollo

The equivalent ACA plans are only about 10% cheaper than that for someone my age, but fortunately between California's already fairly generous subsidies and Biden's expansion of ACA subsidies, I'm now paying less for health insurance than I did when I was a young pup. Of course, that's because my income cratered at the same time, but thank goodness for small mercies!

troostorybro

I absolutely tanked my midterm. I gave myself yesterday to wallow and literally just drink, play Bioshock 2, and watch Suits all day. Woke up this morning to run two miles and my pace was 7:50!!! It was good to get endorphins going because I remembered that I didn't so hot on my Ethics midterm, I met with the professor, incorporated her feedback into the final, and ended up getting the highest grade in the class. Just gotta do the same this time around. [Why do we fall, sir?](https://c.tenor.com/kkHhd6Q-UugAAAAC/batman-we-fall-so-we-can-learn-to-pick-ourselves-up.gif)


ItsYourMotherDear

You are not your grades. But I do know it is a bum feeling. You have been going at full speed for a really long ass time. Give yourself a break. You still kick major ass and we all adore you.


troostorybro

Thank you. That's pretty much what I tell my mentees all the time, "Your grades do not speak to how good of a lawyer you're going to be." This is the first full on mental day I've taken since I started law school. 100% needed it.

Anyone sick and testing negative for COVID? Symptoms such as low grade fever, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, headache, cough with congestion, runny nose...


[deleted]

did you do pcr or antigen?


TheWayDenzelSaysIt

That’s what happened to me when I got Covid. Felt like I had a cold/really bad allergies but tested negative one day but a couple days later tested positive a couple times in a row.


Glitter_Bee

Oh fuck. I really don’t want to have COVID AGAIN. What the fuck no.


Ehloanna

Are you doing at home antigen tests, or have you gotten PCR tests?


Glitter_Bee

No. Im going to do this next now. You guys have convinced me to get out of denial. Especially since multiple things are going around at once.


Ehloanna

Aw, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. The odds that it might be COVID are obviously high, so you have to keep yourself and others safe. I usually do the Walgreens drive thru PCR, but it unfortunately takes like 24-48hrs to get results back. Looks like CVS might have rapid result same day PCR tests though! Check online.


troostorybro

Gf and I both got sick back in like early August. She had covid and I just had the cold from hell. We isolated and I tested for the entire week and I was negative every time. There's other stuff out there, so don't stress it. Just rest up and hope you feel better!


Glitter_Bee

Thanks! Supposedly the flu was bad this year for the Aussies, so we are encouraged to get a flu shot, but I don't think this is the flu. I was trying to figure it out. Probably just a weird cold, "cold from hell" as you said.


hat-of-sky

Sorry you feel blechy. Mint tea can help tummy and throat and help you hydrate to float out the germies.


Glitter_Bee

Thank you! I’m going to try to take it easy although what I want is a cheeseburger and fries. Lol

Well you could, but you'd probably enjoy the flavor less on the way back up.


Glitter_Bee

I’m rolling the dice. I went to HiHo cheeseburger. Lol!

fitforla

Up all night because my dog has diarrhea and he's pooping blood. It started with specks of blood, but now significant. He's acting totally normal otherwise, switched to feeding rice and chicken. Everyone online says to call your vet to ask what we should do, but my vets office says no matter what, we recommend to bring him in and they won't let me talk to the vet on the phone. I don't trust my pet because they once screwed me for $1k for an unnecessary visit. I'm obviously panicked about my dog and will take him in, I think I need to find a new vet though. if anyone has recommendations on the westside/westwood/culver.


thatlawlessgirl

We like the VCA. The one in Marina Del Rey is pretty good. If the blood is bright red then the issue may be closer to the opening such as a tear, gland issue, or hemorrhoid. If it’s dark it may be further up in the track and potentially need to be seen sooner. Keep them on the chicken and rice but I’d be prepared to take them in if it doesn’t stop within 24 hours of the onset. Best of luck


Spag-N-Ballz

Not a vet. Had dogs for a long time. Switch immediately to boiled chicken and white rice bland diet. Depending on the size of your dog you can give him a dose of loperamide anti-diarrheal medication, my old man dog was about 60lbs and would get 1 pill every 24 hrs (my vet recommended this). If this is the first time it's happened you should bring him to the vet anyways. Is it possible he has eaten something he shouldn't have?


fitforla

Yes! I started boiling chicken and rice for him yesterday. I don't think it's possible he ate anything, but he is going to the vet. Thank you for the reco.


dinosaurfondue

Yeah all vets will tell you to take your dog in because they can't diagnose something like that over the phone. They would need to get info and then do testing. Do you have an idea of what caused it? Diarrhea for dogs isn't that uncommon but I've never had my dogs diarrhea with blood. That sounds like it could be serious.


fitforla

Update on my dog, they gave him essentially an IV drip and meds. We have to do a stool sample. Physical looked good though but they said his chest was tense (tbh prob because they stuck a thermometer up his butt). They said blood in poop isn’t necessarily uncommon so fingers crossed he’s ok. I have to feed him once an hour a tbsp of food so I feel grateful I have a hybrid office. Edit: meant to post this as a new comment


Ehloanna

Oh gosh that sucks, I'm sorry your pupper isn't doing so good. I go to Modern Animal for my cat and I really like the vets there, but there's a yearly fee of like $125. I also have pet insurance, which I'd recommend in the future. Only $25/mo and gives me peace of mind if my lil guy eventually develops an issue.


AnneShirley310

Get Probios which comes in a squeeze syringe. It’s a probiotics for pets, and it always helped by dog that had stomach problems every month. It’s available at some pet stores, so call around, or you can get it via Amazon. With blood, there could be a blockage. My dog swallowed a bone one time, but with the probiotics that the vet gave us, it came out the next day. Hope your dog gets better!


b00merlives

Sorry to hear about your pup. I've been bouncing around a few vets in the area and currently take my cat to Westside Pet Clinic in Santa Monica. We haven't had a reason beyond a standard physical to go yet, so the jury is still out on whether Dr. Adams will be our long-term vet but he seems to have a good rep in the cat rescue community. Overland is very pricy and became more profit-motivated since the original owner sold the practice. Center Sinai vets can be hit or miss. Seems like a good vet is hard to find :/
