Extra rice in a burrito is good if the rice is good (speaking as a HellaNorCalian).

Fries in a burrito is good if the fries are good.

I don't care for beans in a burrito but that's my own weird thing.

Ketchup in a burrito is nonsense. Why would you ruin an innocent burrito????

Most places have dry rear end flavorless meat and it loving pisses me off. The best place had a carne asada burrito with juicy meat, guac, chunky salsa, and white cheese. poo poo was drippy. The beans and rice were seperate on a plate. Black rear end sticky beans that had to be cooked in lard, they looked like refried beans but we're black, and they were loving heaven. The old man died and it was replaced by a lovely Mexican resteraunt that got more business somehow even though they use cheese sauce instead of real cheese on their nachos. Gross sloppy mess.

But chickens and pigs are assholes, I'll eat them. I'm less keen to eat cow, though my upbringing still has me craving its flesh.

Domestic turkeys are dumb af, I don't feel bad putting them out of their misery.

I mean, it's pretty easy to maintain social distancing during golf, you are outside, and if the clubs and balls are disinfected you're not really touching a lot of stuff that's potentially infected. Golf is probably a fairly safe activity at the moment, with or without a mask.

Roosters are different. Pretty sure you're not eating much rooster when you eat chicken. You're eating hens, which are kind and good pets.

Nah, it’s only the egg laying industry that murders all the male chicks, meat chickens are definitely both roosters and hens. The egg industry is extra super bad so we raise our own eggs. When you let roosters get too old they fight, which is why meat chickens are raised to grow rapidly to cull weight so they don’t start displaying dumb aggressive behavior before we eat them.

This is why when you’re eating from a whole roasted chicken you sometimes find and eat the delicious testicles in addition to the kidneys.

Yeah my brother has chickens on his farm and one of the males got a little too old, tasted different/strong and was tougher. Definitely going to stew the next one. He was planning on raising beef cattle after putting in the fencing but I talked him into pigs because they're so much better for the environment. Turns out you can do amazing things rotating pigs around your farm and growing squash on a patch after they moved on.

Chalking tires is apparently considered unconstitutional in some states:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/3549631002

quote:

Taylor's lawyer argued that the city's physical marking with chalk, done to note how long a vehicle is parked, amounted to searching without a warrant — a violation of the Fourth Amendment. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel unanimously agreed.

The city "commences its search on vehicles that are parked legally, without probable cause or even so much as 'individualized suspicion of wrongdoing' — the touchstone of the reasonableness standard," the court's opinion states.

The Fourth Amendment protects against "unreasonable searches and seizures." And the city's chalking of cars "to raise revenue" does not qualify as a public safety concern that could allow a search without a warrant, the court said.

The court's decision affects Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.

I'm not in favor potato in burritos, breakfast or otherwise (they're a plot to deprive you of scrambled eggs). If you need to work french fries into Mexican food, go for french fry nachos. You want a chipotle ketchup, or otherwise non-plain ketchup (all of Annie's condiments are awesome), to not clash with the Mexican flavors, but carnitas french fry nachos are awesome.

Turns out you can do amazing things rotating pigs around your farm and growing squash on a patch after they moved on.

Crop rotation strategies that involves shifting pigs and/or chickens onto fields after harvesting is an excellent thing from having the animals do more normal animal stuff, decrease animal specific feedstuff needs, and doing good things for the soil.

We use our birds as weed control in the yard. We have quail, as it’s not a big yard and we’d want chickens to have buddies (which would be too many eggs for us to use). Quail in contrast can have more birds (so more a flock) with less egg weight produced and the males don’t make obnoxious noise.

The males can be assholes to the hens sometimes, so we’ve eaten one misbehaving male and need to get another to introduce.

lol it's because the full name is "highway 1" or "interstate 280" or whatever. So you just shorten it to the number.

SF residents do their own "the" thing with neighborhoods though, where we chop the word "district" off of the end of the name. So instead of "the Mission District", or "the Richmond District", we usually say "the mission" or "the richmond", etc.

It has to be shortene,d so it can be said quickly and accurately. There are no in-jokes or local culture; Too many people, too much constant change.


The rest of the world (and SF) don't move or commute that much. In LA, everything that people enjoy is at least 10 minutes away by car. Like even burger chains. Nobody wants to go to the closest burger chain to eat for one reason or another, so they will go to the exact same burger chain but further away. There is no local culture. If it is in walking distances, it sucks. Your school sucks. Your local mall sucks. Your local Target/Walmart sucks. Your local friends suck. You either live with your friends or you live within one driving hour away.


The words 'interstate' and 'highway,' don't exist. I get it those words have meaning, and people use them and care about those differences. They are useless here. Only transplants and transplant's kids use them. There are only streets and freeways in Los Angeles. The only real difference is how fast you 'could possibly' go on that type of road.

people here don't say interstate or highway either, usually

that was my point lol, that they shorten a longer name down so that it's just the number

people in LA also shorten it, but in a different way. Maybe back in the day there were more highways in So Cal that were referred to by a name rather than a number ("Interstate 69" vs "the john johnny freeway"), and things went from there.

There's still some signs with the names on them. The Golden State Freeway, The Harbor Freeway, The San Diego Freeway, The Foothill Freeway.

So we were already calling them "the ___", it's just that the nomenclature has changed. I still use the names sometimes too, mainly with family.
