Moved to Los Angeles from Ohio 10-years ago. I thought the whole LA reaction to rain was over-exaggerated. Then I realized it was real and Angelenos were silly to react that way.

Now I go: OH MY GOD IT'S RAIN!!!!!

Ah my apologies, I guess I sign up here: emergency.lacity.gov/notifyla

I SWEAR I did sign up for this during the fires. I guess I didn't?

I wonder if we're hitting some character limit (an expert in this field would have to weigh in) and so it's truncating the body of the message to make sure the URL and receipt request is in the text.

As an aside, as an LA resident, I didn't get this message.

As someone who struggles to receive criticism (but thankfully not a public figure), this is a great lesson of what TO do.

In contrast, way too many comedians (an YA authors) have only shown what NOT to do.

I work for an IT firm, and we have a script/process we run to disable Boomer News that's the default for MS Edge.

I've seen better passing of German Architecture with music in the background from travel YouTubers. And the ones I like aren't Nazis.

Ahh so that's what they call Beanie Weenies over there...

Check out Surawon Tofu House sometime. Classic koreatown place. Used to be a Mexican restaurant (I think. It has cactuses) that's now Korean.

I will have check out Zzamong. I live in Ktown but we have so many places.

It's a korean chain, but Jjamppong zizon was good.

I would have recommended Gol Tong Chicken but he is closed today and tomorrow (just one guy).

If you want to stay nearby walking around and finding what looks good and is popular is always a good tactic.

Otherwise: Borit Gogae, Hangari, Sun Nong Dan, BCD Tofu

Any KBBQ place is going to be good.

A game called, "Head Popper Simulator 2000" No problem! But a game called, "Naked Consenting Adults" Now we have a problem.

Hey now! The Portland Frog even said he works for Soros so it must be true!

Clearly the only motivator for people is wealth and not causes or helping the community.

No one is capable of ACTUALLY caring for the community.

My parents did a good job to raise me to never be petty. Or to never feel joy out of others failures.

But you know what? I think some exceptions are allowed.

Ah, some of the words rubbed off.

It used to say, MR. IS SWEET ON YOUR POTATOES.

You could argue that goulash has no universal meaning. Every region has something different and often aren't even recognizable from each other. But that's good. People are using what's cheap and available. In the US, macaroni and melting cheeses are cheap as chips.

Food should adapt to what you have available. I get wanting to say names of food should mean something.

I just get a little annoyed when people say you can only something like Paella, Paella if it only has X ingredients. But it was a peasant dish and where the hell am I going to get Rabbit?

It always amazes me how pissy Italians can get about their food.

Carbonara is an example. Italians get mad that Americans use bacon. But guanciale is expensive and hard to get. Bacon is not.

It most likely came about from American occupation of Italy during WW2. Americans brought bacon...

I hope his family has that photo on their walls. I would!

Also, the name Ivan Ive is a fancier John Johnson, I think.

Oh man. You guys should check out some of the movies from the Happy Science cult. It has this energy about their dear (late) leader.

See vampires left Germany because they can never get invited.

When a vampire asks to come over, Germams take out their phone and look at the calendar to pick a date.

But since smart phones are black mirrors, they can't use one and find an available date.

Germans don't accept "I think I'm free"

Given her love of insider trading, maybe she knows something about the health of DJT that we don't know. Like, "Shit the whole house of cards going to collapse, better escape and pretend I was never part of it."

Brassica is the dog of the plant world. Somehow you're telling me a Cabbage (Dobermann) is the same species as a Cauliflower (Pugs). In fairness it's hard to see how anything is related to pugs (as someone who loves pugs).

I looked it up and it's real - or a REALLY amazing prank from IMDB.

Given the shit-show that is our modern reality, I had to open up a new Incognito tab and look up "imdb guich kook" because I keep my normal searches clean thank you very much.

But sure as shit this is a real: www.imdb.com/name/nm04655...
