OT, let me know if you are coming to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, cos i'll treat you to these local favorites the #19 from Langers the one-foot long Manuel Special Burritos from El Tepeac https://www.bing.com/videos/rivervi...B93A00F493CD320B5677B93A00F493CD320&FORM=VIRE soup dumpling from Ding Fai Fun chili dogs from Pink's
I see Pink`s in so many movies and if I ever get back I am going.......is it really as good as everyone says? I hadn't been to James Coney Island here in Houston for like a decade, went last week and it was horrible
No. Get pizza at pizzeria mozza. Maybe you should also go to Santa Monica and help those folks out @Salvy @Os Trigonum @GOATuve
the time machine, to 2011, to prevent Moron Morey from kicking out Goran Dragic, the 24-yr old, the team's incumbent 2-year starting PG, in order to sign the 23 yr old FA, J Lin, w 3-weeks of NBA experience, to the largest poison-pilled FA contract imagine a Rockets starting back court of Dragic and Harden, had the over-rated Morey not sign J Lin !!
while those inflicted with persistent feelings of inadequcy and insecurity continue to project their inferiority complex, Gavin Newsom re-ups effort to reach young men Suffering in Silence in wake of Charlie Kirk killing He unveiled the Calif Men's Service Challeng, a new program that calls on 10K men to volunteer as mentors, coaches, and tutors - to help what Newsom said are "too many young men and boys (who) are suffering in silence." California will partner with organizations including Improve Your Tomorrow, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Mentor California, the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, the Giants Community Fund and the American Institute for Boys and Men as part of the program, according to Newsom's office.
in a recent Truth Social post, Trump lied that Newsom is in the “final stages” of approving low income housing in the Pacific Palisades, which was slammed by the devastating wildfires earlier this year. also repeated his false claim that Newsom did not allow water from the Pacific Northwest to flow into Los Angeles to combat the wildfires.

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/califor...f?st=naFbm9&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink California’s Great Climate Backfire Sacramento Democrats allow dirtier air to avoid gasoline price spikes. By The Editorial Board Sept. 19, 2025 5:18 pm ET California’s war on fossil fuels is backfiring in spectacular fashion, as gasoline prices, imports of foreign oil and CO2 emissions all increase. The response in Sacramento? Allow more oil drilling and dirtier blends of gasoline in the state. Whatever happened to the climate emergency? California’s gas prices average $4.65 a gallon, about $1.45 more than the national average and nearly two bucks more than in Texas. Looming refinery shutdowns and declining in-state crude production could drive prices even higher. During the 1980s, most of the oil Californians consumed was produced in the state. But the state’s burdensome climate regulations have reduced drilling. The result: California produced only 23% of the crude its refineries used last year. Almost all of the rest was imported from abroad because the state lacks pipelines to carry crude from oil-producing states. More imports have increased CO2 emissions and smog-causing pollutants from tankers docking at the state’s ports. Declining production is also making pipelines that carry crude to in-state refineries less economically viable. If pipelines shut down, the state would have to import even more foreign crude. Looming shutdowns of two large refineries could also mean the state has to import more gasoline. Trouble is, the state lacks the infrastructure to handle more imports. A study this spring by a University of Southern California business school professor projected that gasoline prices could rise to more than $8 a gallon owing to constricted supply. None of this is good for Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has his eye on the Presidency. It could also weaken support for the state’s climate policies. As a state energy regulator explained in June, “If a lack of proactive management during this phase of the transition leads to rising energy prices and less reliable fuel supplies, that instability could erode support for continued decarbonization.” You don’t say, and thus the Sacramento scramble at the end of this year’s legislative session. Legislation passed last weekend would block lawsuits that challenge zoning changes in Kern County—where the state’s most productive oil fields are located—to permit more drilling. A decade of litigation under the state’s environmental laws has prevented such zoning changes. The legislation would also let the Governor suspend a requirement for cleaner “summer blends” of gasoline to protect against “extraordinary gasoline price increases.” Energy regulators would also have to consider allowing the import of gasoline refined in other states that don’t currently meet California’s specifications. As a legislative staff analysis notes, “both of these measures could be expected to reduce fuel prices, at the cost of increased air pollution.” Ponder this for a moment: California’s headlong rush to eliminate fossil fuels is resulting in more smog and pollution, which, unlike CO2 emissions, damage human health. Mr. Newsom falsely claims the Trump Administration is “making America smoggy again” by rolling back the Biden electric-vehicle mandate. Look whose policies really are making California’s air dirtier.

OT, i am embarrassed for you, parroting a convenient / baseless claim by the op ed. and of course, those inflicted w inferiority complex pile on for the education of OT, in 2017, under the leadership of Newsom's predecessor, Jerry Brown, Calif passed the The Buy Clean California Act. It was the world's first-ever legislative push to target supply chain carbon emissions. It requires state agencies to weigh the carbon cost of materials used in infrastructure projects, including steel, glass, and certain kinds of insulation. for the most part, the state's involvement in the monitoring / recording of CO2 from imports has been effective deterrent. because OT is an out-of-stater, he doesn't know any better. i forgive him
~~~ 6 weeks before the Nov election, the latest poll shows 51% of respondents will vote for Newsome's Prop 50 34% say they will vote no 15% undecided.
If that is Guacamole on that dog I'm out. Some things in life do not belong together, like Ariana Grande and Ethan slater. OR A PIECE of FORCE MEAT and the greatest concoction of all. Ie the magic Guac.
the fusion of Taiwanese street food, guac and America's popular meat-and-bun combo, invented by this graduate of Le Cordon Bleu. the slogan at his Bomb Hog Dog is "no yellow mustard and no mayo"
They should have their certification revoked. Kraut, I'm down, Chili, I'm down, nasty cheese sauce from a can, I'm down. Gauc should only be on a Not dog, to make it palatable. You dogs, knockwursts and brats don't need the Guac to do the heavy lifting. If anyone on here has had one of those let me know how you liked it. I will never try one but hopefully you enjoyed it. I have eaten durian, lutefisk, and horse burgers before, I would do anything for love, "But I won't do that".
absolutely, having said that, guac on hot dogs is not quite as out-of-the-box / innovative / bold as
Gavin Newsom signs bills limiting ICE contact and law enforcement masking in CA On this past Sat, Nesome signed legislation limiting federal immigration officials' operations at California schools and hospitals and banning law enforcement agents from hiding their identities including by using masks. California is the first state to pass a law banning masks, which will make it a crime for law enforcement officers to conceal their identities unless they are undercover or wearing personal protective gear beginning in January 2026. That includes local, state and federal officials operating in California.
