Clay is read horizontally left to right, sand is read diagonally bottom right to top left, and silt is read diagonally top right to bottom left. So, the center of the mozzarella zone would be about 20% clay, 40% sand, and 40% silt.

Posting and closing beaches is pretty standard in California in response to sewage spills and water quality sampling yielding substandard results, though it’s usually enforced by local health departments instead of the state.

One issue is the public can get fatigued and disregard the warnings if popular beaches are closed on an ongoing basis, but at least they’re generally informed of the risks. Heal The Bay puts out a pretty good annual report card summarizing results for many beaches across the state if you’re interested in reading more.

One follow up question would be: are Russia’s nukes maintained well enough to be functional?

I wonder how much of that crime happens in eastern Oregon. It often seems like rural folks are paranoid of crime associated with cities, but they hardly ever spend time in cities to understand it’s a relative issue that largely varies neighborhood to neighborhood.

Yeah, it’s hard for me to point to anything relevant other than that interspecies cuck film he was in.

Agreed, seems like some kind of weights and measures violation.

Holy shit, I totally forgot about that lmao

Piggybacking on this: you can still access your camera in lockdown mode if you’ve enabled the lock button double-press gesture, just in case you want to record your interaction with the pigs for good measure.

In general? Not really, considering how much of an impulsive piss baby he is. On Chao specifically? I have no idea. What’s the motive?

Idk, seems reasonable that a drunk boomer could fatally misuse a piece of tech on accident. Don’t Teslas record everything in/around them? Hard to jump to conclusions when we haven’t seen all the evidence.

Sure, you can and should if you’re aware of the challenge and care enough to combat those biases. It might feel like second nature for some, but it can also be like a muscle that needs to be exercised for others. It sounds like they’re trying to do so now, and that kind of growth should be encouraged imo.

Considering how many people will either assume they’re open minded enough already without really reflecting on if there’s room for improvement or actively go out of their way to treat others like they’re inferior, I don’t see the value in dragging other folks down for attempting to be more conscientious towards others. Who knows - maybe another future former racist will read their comment and come to the same realization.

You can believe that to be true, and I suppose you really could be that enlightened. But most people have some degree of implicit bias, and it is wise to be aware of this and to actively challenge our own biases.

I read MonsierPatEBrown’s comment as similar to your first sentence here, but it took them 35+ years to recognize they do have stigmas towards black people that they’re now working on. That’s an accomplishment many people will never achieve tbh.

Makes sense, that’s where my local NIMBYs hang too.

Maybe it’s because I don’t really know anyone passionate on either side of this issue, but I’ve never heard of this argument. I know you said it’s a bad faith argument, but I can’t really imagine what a cyclist’s fair share would be aside from maybe widening a road to add a bike lane lol

Here’s a few examples. Also, you can get a job without selling out entirely. Although, I agree that most people have to make compromises as they grow.

I think many millennials and zoomers recognize the hypocrisy of the boomers and the damage it’s done. I’m hopeful that we stand in stark contrast to those before us and refuse to falter in our ideals.

Is this stuff even far-right anymore? Feels like it’s fully adopted by pretty much all self proclaimed Republicans at this point.

It’s common for dispensaries to sell an 1/8th for ~$15-25, at least in northern California. Just checked a couple local places and see many options for half ounces around $40.

I doubt many people care about anonymity here either. It’s all cash transactions, and you just get carded like buying booze - no real registration, except for like rewards points/loyalty programs lol

Plus, a new law just went into effect here that supposedly protects employees from being asked about/discriminated against for their cannabis use, granted there are exceptions for some construction jobs and jobs requiring federal clearances. (AB 2188, for anyone interested)

The legal market is saturated in California. I would guess most of the black market is exporting out of state where it can be sold for more. But I could definitely be wrong! I agree that it’s unlikely to disappear until it’s unprofitable.

Yours is a different experience to mine then. I’ve noticed a fair share in the foothill and valley communities. Plus, pew research center says they’re affiliated with Rs at ~30% in CA.

Yep, everyone knows they cannot charge a husband and wife for the same crime.
