Santa Clara's power outages start at noon, supposedly I'm going to evade them by a couple blocks but I trust PG&E about as much as they invest in their infrastructure. Fingers crossed I guess. I'd check to see if the map has updated today but of course PG&E's website is still down, I guess there was just no way they could have predicted and prepared for a massive influx of traffic to their website after the announcement that they were going to cut power to almost a million people for potentially upwards of a week. No way to see that coming.

And a bunch of their other neighbors were pissed off that they did it. The city removed the rocks several days later, and the neighbors who did it are whining about how they are the real victims now because now they cant have giant rocks on their sidewalk because people are sending them death threats about it lmao Of course half of the news reports on it that i saw made it sound like the entire neighborhood heroically came together to defend themselves from the evil homeless interlopers on ARE SIDEWALK!!!!!

My local PD used a pretty innocuous “we caught a guy stealing a car” press release to go on a mini-rant about how Prop. 47 was bad and had made their lives harder. Super cool and appropriate thing for public employees to do in an official press release.

lol loving great, our one office that's in a shutoff zone is the one that handles dispatch for paratransit.  e.pilot posted:I'm waiting for a wildfire from candles or someone refueling a generator. Absolutely, there was a run on gasoline in affected areas and if the photos of this year's hurricane prep over East are any indication, there are a lot of dipshits who have no idea how to handle or transport gasoline even remotely safely.

How are they even supposed to know they're doing it wrong? There's no education campaigns for that poo poo.

I agree insofar as how to fiddle with gas canisters: those things are a nightmare, particularly the cheap plastic ones you find at most gas stations. I was talking more about the people who filled up uncovered home depot paint buckets and chucked them in the back of their pickup to bring home.

Every gas station I've ever been to has had some kind of sticker about how not to fill containers with gas. Does anyone actually look at or read those while fueling up?

Speaking of which, what's the safe way to dispose of those liter-sized (roughly) propane continers used for camp stoves and the like/

Take 'em to the dump and ask where the hazardous waste goes. I saw some stuff online that said you can get refillable bottles and a rig that fills them from a big tank and it really makes me want a garage I can keep stuff like that in, so I'm not burning through the small bottles when I go camping. (I should probably stick to my white gas stove and invest in a rechargeable LED lantern. And now I just remembered I need to buy new mantles for my propane lantern!)

If PGE gets away with this without substantial repercussions, then CA's democratic party is beyond saving. For a utility monopoly to pay out billions in stock dividends thanks to 500m+ a quarter in profit, and then turn around and say they have to proactively cut power to parts of the nations single most important economy because they haven't done a good job of trimming the trees and replacing old poles (let alone spent the money to put more lines underground) is beyond the pale. What gives me hope is that my central valley boomer parents and their center right friends are all up in arms about this as well.

Holy poo poo, I just looked at the PG&E outage map. It's not just rural areas, it's huge swaths of the suburbs of silicon valley, the east bay, and Oakland. That's crazy, makes me glad I'm in San Diego now (not that SD&E is a great company either...). Amusingly, my former employer in Cupertino will be hit. Plus, the outage extends REALLY close to both of Apple's campuses there, and they'll definitely be affected. Rotten Red Rod fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Oct 9, 2019 |

Use your cell phone light to search frantically for the one flashlight you think you have in the house. It will be dead of course. Search for batteries. You will need four but only find three.

I think the Sheriff’s narrowly win because the current guy is a huge pro-gun anti-sanctuary City shithead.

Just a pro-tip, never engage in arguments on Nextdoor. Unlike the wider internet where I can shitpost and call people dumbfucks with relative impunity (although it seems as if everyone in this thread lives in loving Riverside so maybe I can't), arguing on Nextdoor is you arguing with actual people with whom you might interact with on a regular basis. Most people are not as big a shithead as they appear on the internet, and so I always side with having those arguments in person where it's actually possible to have real discussions instead of internet poo poo flinging with the people who I'm hoping are making sure my kids aren't running into traffic.

Yeah that’s true , but some of us have anonymous next door accounts, in our real neighborhood but not tied to our actual name, grandfathered in from before they started having stricter verification standards

I believe you can make an anonymous account tied to some random address closely and verify yourself with your real account.

Can't bring myself to be that excited about AB 68 because I know it's just going to bring in a new wave of petty landlord tyrants with backyard shacks, and probably not many actual triplexes or duplexes.

It’s still new housing. It’s still increased density. Both of those are pretty much unqualified good things. I mean it’s not enough but it’s a non-trivial step in the right direction.

My favorite take from the rent cap bill is people saying “well owners are just going to take their property off the market then!”
