I heard another take on the dialysis one was that it was a push to raise the price of dialysis (forcing clinics to always have a doctor on hand)

i heard this too, apparently a lotta doctors were tut-tutting it for being a big unnecessary new cost

still voted for it because gently caress that dialysis monopoly

Prop 22 is impossible to unwind, it requires a 7/8 majority to amend or repeal

no. it requires 7/8 majority of the lege to amend

another prop could change or repeal it with 50% of the votes from the public needed to pass

yeah when i used to live in new orleans the fog would regularly kill people commuting in from the north shore across the lake pontchartrain causeway because it's a 20+ mile 2-lane bridge over warm water filled with half-awake morning drivers so you just get highspeed pileups on the reg

were they yelling at you that paper straws are able-ist? Berkeley tried to ban disposable straws but that was able-ist (as if you know, humans havent been consuming liquids for hundred of thousands of years before the invention of a straw) and then they did paper straws but that was also ableist because some people have a paper allergy or cant drink fast enough

the best one i heard was some cluster b rear end in a top hat complaining that the paper straws are ableist because some people are too mentally ill to not chew up and eat the straws

as a el dorado county hillbilly i generally lol at the concept of paying for weed, and not growing it outside, and also not shipping it out of state illegally. everybody i know who grows still sells it black market out of state because it pays more than the legal and gray market lol. well besides the people who actually smoke it themselves.

all my friends still in louisiana like to annoy me about shipping it back there, because even with postage it's still cheaper here than what they can get there, nevermind quality

id.me sucks monster dicks and is a total failure atm (although both me and my wife had no problem doing it)

i dunno about defending the EDD, its an OK job, most claimants are just frustrated due to the lack of information clarity within the UI screen although most things are spelled out clearly in support docs. and my coworkers are MONSTER loving DUMB

it's pathologically stupid signing up for the new parent paid leave, they make you fill out timesheets and are completely vague about when you're supposed to start counting days and stuff

i spent 4 days camping up in Stanislaus national forest and just got back yesterday, and the Tamarack fire made the air quality so loving awful starting Friday. It was also loving horrific seeing what the heat wave did to the fish; the water was too warm and the fish were dying. There were fish that were mostly dead that were swimming super slowly in the shallows so that they could be in the shade of the trees and didn't even have the energy to swim away when you walked by them. there were two osprey and a bald eagle having the times of their lives eating all the fish that were about to die and the sunsets were beautiful though.

yeah apparently the heatwave has annihilated the northwest coast's oysters

*earthquake happens, tearing up buried power lines in a shitload of places. Buried status makes it extremely difficult to find breaks. Pg&e just cuts the ends, writes it off as a loss, and build power poles again

that isn't at all how underground utilities work

burying them is better in every single way except cost, which is why they haven't already done it and why you should be skeptical that they'll ever meaningfully do it

people in los angeles (should, if they don't) live in fear of a tsunami. there's signs everywhere for it. if you get the alert you're literally supposed to run straight to a car and drive directly to the highest point, you might have 15 minutes to clear 500' elevation

i grew up near bodega bay and the routes there are not that different. only the TTD whereas one you plunge 50 ft into the ocean and drown, and the other you plunge 500 ft off the side of a mountain tumbling into everything before getting obliterated by a tree.

i did some work out at calaveras dam for several years and theres a narrow very windy road that rich idiots from Livermore with Waze and expensive Sports Cars would try to take to shave off 1-minute vs taking 680, and without fail almost every month some dipshit would spin off into flames. definitely had a lot of audi or beemer assholes tailgating and then speeding around blind turns to pass and I ended up driving past one of them later who wrecked their expensive poo poo real bad
