I have these light bars that I want to plug a wireless DMX device into but the transmitter won't fit unless I can turn it 90 degrees. There are lots and lots of XLR 90 degree adapters but absolutely no DMX adapters. This is driving me crazy! Even a short 6" DMX cable would work but I can't find any that aren't 3 pin to 5 pin adapters! Help!!!

The customer support chatbots say the XLR adapters can also be used for DMX but I don't trust them because they can't tell me what the actual impedance rate is.

Currently living in downtown because I want to use the train to get around as much as possible instead of driving. I don't have a regular commute anywhere but I still need to drive a couple of times a week for work so I have a car.

There's a part of me that would love to move to Echo Park or Los Feliz but I would pretty much completely sacrifice rail access.

What has your experience been like with making this tradeoff? Did you regret moving away from transit for a car-dependent neighborhood that suited your personal tastes more?

It's clear at this point that no candidate is going to win the majority primary outright. Karen Bass' low approval ratings pretty much guarantee she won't get more than 25% of the vote and there are too many other candidates splitting votes for anyone else to get 50%.

Republican Spencer Pratt could come in second and advance but even Karen Bass will easily crush him in the general, especially in this particular election cycle. Sorry Pratt people. A vote for Pratt in the primary is effectively a vote for Bass.

That leaves us with just Nithya Raman, the only other candidate currently with a shot at taking second place in the primary and advancing to the general.

Once you narrow it down to Karen Bass or Nithya Raman it's clear Nithya is the better choice. If you're a YIMBY progressive like me, Nithya has a strong track record on the issues you care about and if you're an independent or a Republican who believes Nithya Raman will just be Karen Bass 2.0, you will at least have the satisfaction of sending Karen Bass 1.0 packing AND knowing that her replacement knows she will also be sent packing if she doesn't get the city moving in a better direction (and if you're a NIMBY liberal who is somehow happy with how things are going... I guess vote for Karen Bass again?)

So yeah. Please vote for Nithya. Karen Bass needs to face some electoral consequences for her mismanagement of the city.

PS Love you Rae Huang supporters. Maybe be cool and we could all get Rae Huang a meaningful role in Nithya Raman's administration, maybe on the metro board...

EDIT: Reminder to all the other Nithya Raman supporters who read this, her campaign can always use more volunteers!
