Weekly Discussion Thread (Week of Monday, 6/26)

Reply in thread

I went to a Puscifer concert at the Greek last summer and the rule was no phones out or you get kicked out because it's distracting and takes away from living in the moment. They were very serious and a couple of people did get kicked out after doing it again when warned. During the last song they let us take out phones for pictures. It was great and I hope that concept gains traction.

Oh so he knows they're not a match? So, he knows. I don't think she needs to add that she knows about her mom's affair because even then that's speculation on who it is and they're already divorced. It would be different if they were still married. He's probably in denial and afraid his daughter won't want to be his daughter anymore even though that's silly.

Best thing she can do is say, "welp, even if we're not a match, you're still my dad and I love you. I'm not going anywhere."

Personal experience: my grandpa knows we took the test years ago and he hasn't taken it. Turns out our mom is a completely different ethnic background from him (she's half Italian instead of half Russian/Ashkenazi). He asks if we matched with our cousins and we change the subject. My definitely-not-Italian grandpa has a rose colored version of his dead wife in his head and we kids aren't going to take that away from him in his old age even though I'm sure he knows.

These Green Containers...

Are these in a location accessible to random people who want to illegally dump trash like old furniture, appliances or paint? If they are, I see the point of using this style rather than one big roll away but I still think they should have used the standard size bin not the minis.

OC’s Most Progressive City Follows Surf City Questioning Sacramento Housing Mandates

Santa Ana is already dense. Trying to find parking in areas of Santa Ana after 3pm can be a nightmare. It would be more helpful to focus on infrastructure and business development so the people who already live there can improve their lives.

Or, shoot, maybe one of the adjacent cities can build some new housing. Stanton has been going bananas building up Beach Blvd. What about Westminster or Garden Grove?

People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?

Some people also filter it or buy jugs of water when their apartment pipes are old and the water was questionable. I've been in older apartments in Los Angeles where the water smelled bad and/or was slightly discolored. That is definitely not the norm and isolated to the apartments, not the municipal water supply.

There are algae blooms in summer that affect the municipal water supply. It's treated before arriving at the tap and makes the water taste gross but it's still safe.

But yes, it's definitely national news when it's a regional water safety issue.
