Black Diamonds gang

Who were they? Im pretty sure they ain't around anymore

I remember when I moved from Venice to Oxnard.....I took the bus to a smaller show (hardcore shows were big and messy back then) in mar Vista at some small venue....and ran into a younger homie

He wasnt a Sui and wasnt even from venice I dont think he may have been from santa monica I didnt know him well but he was a cool kid a bit younger than me i met at fenders or olympic ...he just was a fan of st....not in the suis

He told me he got jumped by some fooz that called themselves the black diamonds while walking through Hollywood. He said they were a few chicanos and white boys dressed cholo but kinda had that punk swag. They confronted him over his ST shirt....he told them he liked the music but wasnt a sui...they decided to smack him up but didnt pack him out i think they "warned" him if i remember the story right....he seen their graffiti in San fers but wasnt sure where they were from

I think i remember seeing their graffiti and mota locos graffiti downtown Los

I dont know why I remembered them after over 35 years (I went back to Denver, only go to los every few years) but all of a sudden I did

We're they a serious hood or a cholo punk gang? They still around? Where they from?

Guys who take their job way too seriously....

You know what im talking about

I worked with a few that talk shop all day, and guns, watch police chase videos.....go to grocery store after work in full uniform....even wear their uniform on their day off.....not to mention all the excessive stupid looking gear

And they always want to train and practice the physical side of the job

Never the de-escalation end of it

I learned way more from bouncing

Another non-orthodox kefir post

I'm prepared to get downvoted again like my posts on pipes and topical use...

BUT I was reading kefir is good for "mouth flora" and teeth

I would guess using plain or non-sugary kefir and holding it in your mouth maybe swishing a bit before letting it down the hatch?

And im wondering if best time would be between meals and after brushing teeth before bed....what would you think is best?

I read on Google to rinse acids away so they dont eat enamel

So im wondering if after brushing ....a tall glass of sugar-free kefir swished around and chased with a plain black/green tea combo before would be ideal for mouth health?

Kefir to clean pipes!!

So i got alot of downvotes last week for daring to speculate topical uses for kefir ...lol turns out i was RIGHT

Now im really gonna anger the kefir "purists" and looking forward to your downvotes and naysaying lol

I am thinking of trying out excess kefir whey in my pipes!!!

There are already a few enzyme/bacterial pipe cleaning products (like bio-clean).....but i cant see why kefir wouldn't work

I would put kefir whey in my plastic bucket with some non chlorinated water....a tablespoon of sugar and maybe a pinch of flour....and to keep the bacterias extra happy i would use a splash of milk or a few spoons milk powder .....wake the lil bastages up and keep em feeding/reproducing

Then before bed pouring the bucket of live bacteria down.....i dunno ....lets just say my kitchen sink and let them get to work on table scraps stuck to sides of disposal and sides of pipes and maybe even p-trap and refrain from bleach and disinfectants and vinegar down the drain

Maybe repeat this process for 5 days and then do it once a month for a night

This is NOT to unclog drains mind you, unless you have alot of patience...but long game pipe maintenance...especially if you have roots or or organic material that needs to be dissolved

I used bio-clean with great results for years.....hell i wonder if i could have bioclean fermenting in a bucket side by side with kefir whey and pour kefir down ....wake up a few hours later and pour bioclean down (or would they compete?)

Anyways.....thought?

And im willing to try soon...(for science)

Topical kefir

Throughout the years I read stuff on the internet I cant find now

One claim was applying kefir on face for acne

In kitty for candida

Anywhere there is thrush

I read once of some guy in hospital with staph infection who had his wife bring kefir to the hospital and he applied it to his wounds and it worked to fight staph and doctors got angry at him

I also read someone say they snorted it kinda like netipot flushing for allergies and swore it worked

And another who claimed that they drank it and swished in mouth by the gallon for strep throat

A few years ago I read someone rubbed it in their eyes to treat pink eye

And people soaking feet in kefir for fungus

And people "plugging" a grain or too to colonize large intestine and draw out 💩

The ONLY thing that I found that was being studied was the wound/staph thing....that applied to wounds immediately can prevent staph and accelerate healing

The other stuff all seems to be housewife testimony and "bro-lore" but I think it COULD work....and by theory in place of studies and science I think it SHOULD work....(but im not a doctor dont take my advice)

What do you guys think?

My workhorse

I have many cast irons

My faves being Taiwan cast iron pots with wooden handles

12" Chinese pan i had 25years and dont even know how I ended up with it

A couple lodge Dutch oven i used to fry

Enamel coated pots and pans

A lodge griddle I use as a comal

And many other unique but never really used pieces I collected over the years

But this mid-priced Christy Teigan 13.75 kinda replaces all of them about 10yrs ago....I use it for EVERYTHANG except deep frying....I mean EVERYTHANG!!!

My wife even uses it sometimes but she usually prefers the wok (she is filipina)

And I dont have to crowd my foods when I fry....or i can definitely cram foods when I stick it in the oven I even make baked beans then stick it on the charcoal grill with hardwood to smoke for hours

This workhorse is definitely jealous since it dont really allow my other pans to get any work very often

What is your go-to pan?

Burn that Che shirt...

Why the chicano romantization of argentinian/Cuban struggles?

I don't get it

Someone explain to me?

(To be fair I only seen this on chicanos attending punk shows or college)
