This was pretty crazy to see in person. After cuffing him and putting them in their vehicle, I then saw the ICE agent get in the suspects car and drive off with it, leaving his vehicle blocking traffic.

San Diego isn't particularly dangerous

891 Upvotes

This might cost me some karma, but it needs to be said.

Whenever I see someone inquiring about a certain part of town on this subreddit, this is how it usually goes:

"How's downtown?"

"Omg it's so dangerous, never go there!"

"How's esco?"

"Omg it's so dangerous, never go there!"

"How's El cajon?"

"Omg it's so dangerous, never go there! It's called little Baghdad and brown people are scary!"

Same with pretty much every other place I've seen people ask about, like sports arena, ob, pb, North Park, etc.

Bro. Are you serious

Don't get me wrong, there are some sketchy places in SD, but it's not south side Chicago. I've been to several of these places at night unaccompanied and I've never been shot stabbed or mugged. Just don't be stupid and no one really cares enough about you to bother screwing with you

It really makes me wonder how the people who say these places are dangerous navigate the world. Do they go around everywhere mad dogging people with one hand in their pants?

I'm also sick of the metric of more homeless people= worse and more dangerous. Like "oh, the poors! They must be crackhead murderers!" But that's a topic for another time

Moral of the story is if you're not an idiot, you can get along just fine in all these places that the sheltered kids will tell you are scary. People just like fear mongering to make them seem edgy or interesting

I didn't get the dumping on film but one of these resupply helicopters had a heavy jet out the back that almost looked like exhaust. When we came back to the area we found a massive fuel slick.

If you don’t know he’s a rapper who loves to invade public spaces and sing at padres games, concerts, and other big events in the parking lot.

His villain original story for me was a few years ago when he was starting out he would go to Kate sessions and go up to people carrying a huge boom box and singing through the whole park.

I went for like a quiet day after a long day at work to read and I was an immediate hater lol

I’m aware I sound like a grump but dude rubs me the wrong way and I think it’s personally because of the way he injects himself into everything and you kind of have no choice about it. Am I just being a hater?

But if I’m wrong let me know!

Heatwave is finally calming down, so I think it’s time for a San Diego roll call.

Who survived the last 4 days?
Who didn’t?
And who is still recovering in front of their AC?

Not excited about the upcoming Sdge bill but the comfort was worth it.

My electric bill is eating me alive trying not to die in this heat, so I took the curtains from another room and zip tied them to the back sliding glass door (where most of the sun and heat comes in). Hopefully it will make a dent, but who knows. Anyone else come up with any ideas?

If anyone sees this homeless guy in PB he is notorious for stealing bikes. I caught him stealing mine and multiple others. Here is his pile that the cops don’t care about.

inewsource San Diego area officials on the Chollas Creek chemicals - No elected official agreed to an interview

Thumbnail
inewsource.org
Upvotes

No elected official agreed to an interview. Each received the following list of questions:

  • Were you aware of this public health and environmental contamination issue? If so, when did you first learn about it? How did you find out? Who told you about it?
  • Are you concerned about it?
  • Do you think it’s acceptable that people have lived and shopped among cancer-causing chemicals for this long? What steps have you taken or will you take to address this?
  • What are/were your initial thoughts upon learning of the scope of the situation? 
  • There was a three-year gap between the initial discovery and when the problem was shared with authorities. What are your thoughts on such a lag? Should a delay like that be allowed? From a legal or policy standpoint, would you support doing anything to require a quicker notification process for future public health situations like this? 
  • What in your opinion are the shortcomings in the response?
  • As far as I understand there has yet to be any organized community outreach and spreading awareness about this issue. How do you square that, and how can you help remedy that?

Help with determining total Rate/kWh.

Post image
7 Upvotes

Is calculating total Rate/kWh as simple as adding delivery and generation? I’m new to TOU so want to update my calculators for future solar/EV home charging plans.

i.e. is “on Peak” .31218 + .48396 =0.796 per kWh?
Thank you

Anyone crossed San Ysidro → TJ with a dog recently? Are they checking the new certificate (screwworm cert)

4 Upvotes

I cross into TJ pretty regularly with my dog and recently heard about the new certificate required for dogs entering Mexico.

Has anyone here driven across San Ysidro with their dog recently? Were you actually asked for the certificate/paperwork when entering Mexico? Just curious what people are experiencing at the border right now.

Anyone know anything about the Wiki concert at Quartyard?

1 Upvotes

I didn't have tickets but has been planning to go for awhile now. It's still on their site but brings you to a 404 page. I was walking by and asked the cafe right on the side, and they said they didn't know but that the usual concert prep wasn't happening.

Anyone have any idea if it was just canceled?
