I’ve run the same road/mountain route about 10 times, and Strava’s distance varies by as much as 3 miles. I tried “Correct Distance,” but that made it even worse—adding about 4 miles that definitely weren’t there.

The run starts in a canyon with poor signal, but after about 4 miles I have solid GPS for most of the mountain portion. The mountain portion starts again in an area of bad signal, but about three-quarter mile in there is good signal for most of the mountain run, but strange enough, that mountain section seems is where most of the distance error occurs of + 4 miles

What’s the best way to prevent this? Should I open Strava and let my phone acquire GPS before driving into the canyon, then start the run once I’m there? Or is Strava just unreliable in areas like this even after you have a GPS lock? Is this a common thing I mean I've been using Strava for years and never cross checked information. I just wonder if all my miles are off and now it has me running a marathon which I never ran was completely wrong mileage that I can't edit. I know I can delete the marathon time and I will but it sucks.

Coleman environmental engineering is based out of Washington but supposedly running jobs for 20 arborist in California

Was talking with a group of arborist in the Bay Area at a event, 3 applied for the job & they're beyond qualified- one month later not 1 response I guess.

So are they scamming and farming for engagement?

Like one lady was saying, anyone looking for 30 arborist in California and gets qualified applicants would be reaching out.. no?

Anybody have any experience working with this company or are they just a bunch of scammers

Anyone familiar with the fire situation in Santa Barbara, specifically the Riviera down to the east side?

If anybody has an actual legit outlook from observations and current fuel loading, post fires in the last 20 years, please share. There are some community members that reached out to a fire organization up north that are concerned about the Eastside neighborhood which is right at the base of the Riviera, the rivera is right adjacent to the foothills. They say the foothills and brush goes into a full canopy of eucalyptus and Cypress right over the Riviera and drops down into the east side neighborhood.

I do believe the 2008 Tea fire burnt down into Sycamore Canyon and was headed right down into the east side. They are worried about a palisades scenario for E side area.

I have a friend in the stockton/sacramento area in her mid 60s, she had wrist surgery and the healing didnt go well, and it moved up into shoulder and she developed CRPS and frozen shoulder, and it's gotten bad. She is also thinking estrogen has a part to play with her overall health, and she will start the testing for that in a few weeks.

I told her to maybe try the estrogen testing with an OB/GYN or look for a menopause specialist (not pcp) before going the route of functional medicine, which is mostly chiropractic it seems like and very expensive.

Functional medicine is limited in the area. We've done some pretty excessive research from Stockton to Sacramento, not finding the right person.

She's in physical therapy four hours a week for a few months. She had x-rays and MRIs of shoulder, very minor arthritis. Lots of other details but all of this is leading to some depression.

Is functional medicine really a route for curing this situation she has with her Body post surgery, and for menopause mitigation?

Just looking for any resources. This may not be the place but I have a friend in the area in her mid 60s, had wrist surgery it moved up into shoulder ,developed CRPS and frozen shoulder and it's gotten bad. Also thinking estrogen has a part to play and she will start the testing for that in a few weeks.

She wants to go to the route of functional medicine, which is extremely expensive and pretty limited in the area. We've done some pretty excessive research from Stockton to Sacramento, not finding the right person.

She's in physical therapy four hours a week for a few months. She had x-rays and MRIs of shoulder, very minor arthritis. Lots of other details but all of this is leading to some depression.

If anybody has any recommendations for woman functional medicine or anything related, or any thoughts- its greatly appreciated and I will let her know

Traffic cop in lower village Montecito parking in a handicap zone to walk around and give tickets. How is the guy giving tickets out to people while illegally parked in a handicap zone. Is it rules for thee, but not for me type scenario?

Saw them giving a car a ticket for no front license plate. The city is not proactive on very much enforcement on E and W side for parking issues, but they know the cash stream when they see it.

A recurring pedestrian, car and bicycle safety issue has been happening in this area for more than a year.

An V&L produce 18-wheeler regularly parks blocking the crosswalk and bike lane for approximately 2–3 hours at a time, several times a week.

When the truck's liftgate is lowered, it goes into the path of cars and cyclists at head height, creating an danger forcing people to go around it in car/bike lane. Neighbors have seen close calls with guys on bikes being forced into traffic going around the liftgate between vehicles and it's dangerous with the corner of the liftgate at bicyclist head height as well as at the head height for passenger window level for a vehicle.

Some neighbors reached out and have shared that they have reported this issue multiple times to the trucking company, City Council , parking enforcement, and the police. Despite those efforts, they say the problem continues. Neigbors asked if we had avenues to share this information to help get some action to make the community safer.

The purpose of this post is to raise awareness of an ongoing public safety concern. Crosswalks and bike lanes are for safety. And the people walking and on bicycles in this area during these times are younger people, immigrants, and elderly people.

We hope the City and everyone can work together for safety The city is working on making street safer, with the Vision Zero for pedestrian safety, so let's start with enforcing safety issues that actively and consistently put our community at risk.

We went to IJEN volcano blue fire and had a great trip -stayed at a wonderful home stay Didus homestay in Banyuwangi.

We did the tour with them really fair prices and great guides. We got over there from our hotel in Ubud.

We did not go to Bromo, but ended up going later if you travel Java it's definitely worth the experience but I would not try to get there from Bali.

Just bought a MacBook Air M5.

I initially set dictation to press the Control key twice for talk-to-text. It glitches most of the time on the first press but works on the second try. I changed it to the Command key shortcut and I'm having the exact same problem.

Is this something that can be fixed? I assume it's a software issue and not the new computer.

Ever use the green bottle for taco ass with that strange minty burn- always the best but the burn is a trip.

I’m sure it’s a no. But I charged something on the wrong credit card. I really would hate to bring it back for a refund. Just have to re-buy it on the new credit card. Is there even such a thing where you can go in and have The old one credited and the new one charged without actually returning it?
Like by talking with a manager and explaining. Saves them the return.
The charge has already gone through on the credit card end.

Where is the best place to buy some cooked tri-tip or some good cooked steak to go?

Shallobs is good, but for some reason online it says it’s $24 a pound cooked and when I call it’s $49 a pound. Not sure what’s up with that.

Other places aside from chicken ranch and cold Springs?

Anyone legit and trustworthy for basic IT support for person in torrance /PV area?

Not high tech issues can be young professional just need on call help for someone in the area.

Things like email off-line, annoying pop-ups on iPhone to get rid of, printer goes off-line… Stuff like that

I need to get an x-ray to send to somebody, but Sutter records will only send you a CD disc. If you can find somebody that can actually read a CD disc and still has the player on a computer, it is locked with software that nobody has.

There is nothing I see on the portal to actually get the images.

Anybody have a workaround to actually get an x-ray that is needed?

Seems like it should be something that is provided to you in a usable format. They will not send it electronically. They will not send it on a thumb drive.
