Wasn't a huge Seahawks fan but my nephew is on Pete's strength and conditioning staff since the USC days. He said Pete put a good word in so they are most likely staying in Seattle. Was either that or try to get in where Brennan Carrol is.

I pop in and lurk every few months.

 

Crazy how much has changed since this thread. So many great projects and scam coins as well. If I only knew then what I know now. Still have done pretty well trading BTC and alt coins over the years. Had some big hits and some big losses. Crypto replaced my degen fix for sports gambling, I still play poker just not as much. Took a while to get over the fear factor but I am "all in" with crypto and it's paid off well.

As I recall HE wasn't very pretty

Search you just triggered me

Last election cycle the "people" voted in an increase in sales tax because the city was broke basically threatening the citizens with less police and fire coverage. Before that LA county voted in a sales tax increase for the homeless which they have done absolutely nothing for.

Of course there is Brown's 12 cent gas tax increase that was shoved down our throats, but realistically the idiots would have voted it in anyway if given the chance.

Every f'n cycle there is a new school bond and it passes every time. When does this sh!t stop. How about better fiscal management and cut some of those top heavy jobs that don't do anything.

I have a friend that is barely scraping by but votes for this bs every year then complains when her rent utilities or grocery bills increase. I explained to her the correlation and a went off.

Voting day has become a new holiday for me, state Disappointment Day.

All these idiotic CA voters are standing on my lawn.

I second this. I have used adblock for years and have none of the issues I see people complain about. It is mandatory if you want to browse Covers.

8 years ago in Watts/South Central trying to give this old lady relocation money to move out of her house because my client foreclosed on her. One of the stipulations is that she had to have all personal property removed from the house and the house had to be in "broom swept" condition.

She called me a couple times that she was ready to go but when I would go out there would still be furniture junk etc. so I explained to her I couldn't give her the check until it was gone. I was always polite to her and she was very nice and understood the situation.

Finally she calls and says everything is finally out. So I go to the house and there are about 5 or 6 gangster looking thugs in the front yard with a truck full of junk. I am hesitant but figure she hired some people to get it all out so I walk up to the door and she greets me to come in. We walk through the house to verify it is all clean and end up in the back yard. There were a few things left but I told her I would take care of it, I didn't want to keep coming back.

All of a sudden I hear yelling and fighting in the front yard and a gun shot. She looks at me and said God damn crackheads I knew I shouldn't of hired them. Her grandson and the "movers" were from different gangs and eventually got into it. She told me to stay there and went to the front and chased them away.

Essentially I was trapped in a back yard in Watts with a gang fight going on in the front yard. I was scared shitless being a Swedish-American guy in a suit. I was looking at which fence to jump to circle back to my car and bail. She went up there yelling at all them and the truck with the crack heads finally left. I gave her the money and came back later to board up the house.

I have worked in the deepest parts of the hood of Los Angeles, Compton, Long Beach for years but that was the only time I had actually feared for my life.

In my late teens visiting family in rural NW PA. Three of us in my cousins Ford Bronco circa late 1980's, I was in the back seat. The drunk feckur was hauling behind on a rural country road pitch black after a party and lost control flying around a bend. Vehicle slid sideways off the side of the road and hit a tree stump which stopped us. We open the driver side doors to get out and immediately fall/slide about 20 feet down an steep embankment. If we didn't hit that tree stump I am positive we would all have been dead or critically injured at minimum. We eventually walked back to the party and they said they heard the crash, thought for sure we were all dead.

Old but relevant

Crypto isn't going anywhere. Still plenty of good opportunities in alt coins if you know what you are doing.
