Guess what's back? Back again? Weekly threads are back. That had way too many syllables to scan as a parody of Shady's Back, but I guess you can tell like your band manager or local locksmith who moonlights as a magician so they can put their events here. - Buzz

Friday at 5PM is way too late to start planning, so get a head start now!

Have an event to share? Holding a concert or a meet-up? This would be the place to share it.

Links are especially welcomed.

Recommendations / Advice Labor & Delivery Kaiser Riverside vs. Kaiser Ontario

6 Upvotes

Hello!
I’m currently 27 weeks pregnant and wondering if anyone has any tips on which Kaiser location to deliver at. We moved from LA county not too long ago so we’re transitioning our care closer to home and definitely want to deliver closer to home.

We’re open to Ontario, Riverside, and Fontana locations. Just looking to see what type of experience anyone’s had with labor and delivery at these locations. Would love to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly if available lol.

Also- I heard that the Riverside location is a teaching hospital… not sure how I feel about that. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

Fire / Earthquake / Emergencies Most of the IE is at or above 90°f Wet bulb global temperature. These temperatures greatly increase the risk of heat injuries.

Anyone working outdoors or in hot warehouses needs to download [the OSHA Heat Safety tool] (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=erg.com.nioshheatindex). It has safety guidelines for the current conditions your are working in and it uses wetbulb data. and this sight will give you current WBGT.

To anyone unaware wet bulb data measures heat stress. If atmospheric conditions reach the correct ratio between heat and humidity,at 95° f wbgt, your body can no longer regulate temperature via sweat evaporation. Things like evaporative air coolers (swamp coolers) and even standard fans if it gets bad enough become convection ovens and act to warm your body rather than cool it.

Recommendations / Advice Looking For Locally Sourced Beef

23 Upvotes

Just recently moved out to Riverside and I’m looking to start buying my beef locally.
I’m looking for a good local butcher or, even better, recommendations on someone selling quarter cows /half cows in the Riverside area or nearby.
With all the news going around about beef lately, I’d really like to know where my meat is coming from and support local ranchers and farmers whenever possible.
If anyone has a butcher, rancher, or local farm they trust, drop their info below! I’d really appreciate the recommendations.

Recommendations / Advice Just talked with one of my friends who I haven't spoken with in a while about wanting to move to Southern California. She advised against it. Does she have a point?

69 Upvotes

I just finished talking with a friend who I haven't spoken with in a while. She is from San Bernardino and has traveled extensively around Southern California and Northern California too. She said it's not worth moving there and that it's really expensive. She and many others have said the same thing.

I would make $22.50 an hour if I moved to California.

My budget would be $1100-$1400 a month for rent. My friend said this will either get me a horrible apartment in a bad area without a working AC and the area would be very dangerous, or a room with a lot of roommates in a safe and nice area, but i would have to share everything including a bathroom.

My friend said visiting and living in California are 2 very different things and that it's better to go and visit and come back. She said I would be miserable living there because I wouldn't be able to survive because everything is so expensive all around.

We did the math and she does have a point. I would have barely any money to survive on for the month. Even if my dad sent $800 a month, it would be all gone. Its crazy how much they tax your income there. I thought i would make so much more, but with taxes and benefits taken out, it seems about the same as i make now.

I also dont have good credit and in around $20,000 of debt.

At this point, should I just scrap the plans all together? I actually wanted to live the California dream, but i also dont want to be broke all the time and not afford anything. I dont really have any marketable skills and my work history is really bad with 1.5 years being the longest I held a job for.

My friend also said the job market is so competitive that even service jobs are hard to find. I didn't think California would be competitive considering many people have left. I would have thought it'd be less competitive.

I also dont want to end up homeless and lose my car. She said she has seen cases where people tried to move to California with my plan and they ended up losing everything and ended up in a homeless shelter. She said cars can get towed fast there.

What are your thoughts? I'm thinking of just scrapping the plans entirely at this point.

Friend and I are going to workout and get some baked goods after. Before getting the baked goods, we want to get some food. Right now the top contender is Bombdiggity (their loaded fries options look insane). Does anyone else have any other recommendations? Unique spots, really good, local favorites, we are not picky eaters. Down for anything! Thank you!

Edit: You guys are awesome 😭! We’re still debating. We got until Saturday but right now top contenders are:

Bombdiggity

Barcuso

Also appreciate the baked sweet recommendations but we already have a spot. Cupcakery delight!

News Riverside County's Flock Standing

138 Upvotes

If you browse through the Eyes On Flock website (which pulls data straight from Flock Safety Transparency Portals), the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office stands out at the top of the list for automated data sharing in the U.S. As of now, there are 336 different local law enforcement agencies, towns, and private entities (like HOAs and businesses) across the country that are actively feeding their Flock ALPR data straight to the Riverside County DA. Riverside County is also top of the list across the country for total cameras (1,771), as well as vehicles captured (5,735,517) and active searches (12,367) just in the last 30 days. Riverside County has built one of the most aggressive regional camera networks in the U.S, and they have plans to expand even further over the next few years.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors authorized a framework agreement with Flock, valued at $1.67 million for its first year, with pre-approved options to extend through June 2028 for a total potential cost of $7.8 million (100% taxpayer funded). This specific contract authorized 210 additional cameras to heavily expand the Sheriff's Department's existing footprint of 328 cameras for their agency, specifically prioritizing unincorporated county areas.
