It's going to be fun as hell to see what all goes down and then get the estimated total cost to the Californian economy. Remember back in the halcyon days of July? PG&E plans nearly $11 million in executive performance bonuses quote:PG&E Corp. plans to pay a group of top executives nearly $11 million in performance-based bonuses this year, the bankrupt utility owner said Thursday.

Kill Bristol posted: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 You don’t even have to go that far. I have two first names but go by my initials, so I set my first name as “AJ” because... that has been my name for my whole life. I reported some blatant racism, which got my account flagged for not using a full name. A NextDoor customer service rep insisted I use “a real name, the name you’d use to introduce yourself to a neighbor.” I pointed out that AJ is my real name and what I’d use to introduce myself to a neighbor. I offered to send a picture of a utility bill or my car loan documents, which say “AJ [lastname].” Not good enough for NextDoor. After several rounds of this I said “okay, if I set my name to any name that uses A and J, will that work, even if it’s obviously fake?” and they said yes, anything, end the madness, just no initials. Hello neighbor, my name is Arbys Jackinthebox.

Welp, yesterday after several delays I convinced myself they were just going to keep delaying and not ever end up cutting my power off...thats until I woke up this morning without power. Time to survive as my ancestors did. Just kidding, I'll drive literally three blocks over to the powered promise land for groceries and restaurants.

I have one of these for camping, and it also saved me one night where there was a (planned) power outage: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N8G8C7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thankfully SDG&E seems to be at least marginally more competent than PG&E, and the outage was over hours before they predicted it would be. That said, if this outage lasts 5-7 days, you'd have to charge it at least once.

If this outage lasts 5-7 days, a condition called "terminal capitalism," consult your local guillotine manufacturer.

Anonymous Zebra posted: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. Also Nextdoor is all about info farming and cares not the slightest what happens in conversations. None of that matters to them. They just have whatever the local gentrifier who got on early be the moderator and the discussion rules are "basically never talk about anything controversial or real ever, just say high and give us more data". I have friends regularly getting banned for yelling at racists who don't get banned for racism. So in that way it's like FB except the screaming racist is 4 doors down from you.

They’ll post like a 6 paragraph screeds filled with right wing talking points and if you just reply “lol ok boomer” they have a breakdown

The fire in Calimesa was caused by a trash truck that dumped a load of burning trash that spread into vegetation, officials said. "Oh poo poo, the garbage is on fire! I'll just quickly dump it on the side of the road, what's the worst that could happen?"
