Getting prion disease from crops?

I’ve anecdotally had a fine time using Apple Maps since I switched a few years ago. Just wanted to mention there is a setting to avoid tolls; Settings->Maps->Driving will bring up a toggle. It’ll still give you the option, but it won’t default if it’s the shortest route.

Yeah, I joke that California does have four seasons - they're just Summer, Wildfire, and Mudslide. Possible Earthquake to shake things up.

But to be fair, it is a long state. SoCal gets most of the attention, but NorCal gets some great seasons as you get closer to the PNW

You'd think, but it can be difficult to save up moving costs for a long distance haul + deposits + getting a new job lined up while living paycheck to paycheck.

Long time resident of California (SoCal in particular), can confirm haughtiness. I've grown increasingly prideful of my state for holding strong on specific human right issues.

You're also right about the increasing disparity though. It feels like stratification is getting stronger and stronger each year. The Beach Cities area in particular, from my experience, where they're building a bunch of (very expensive) flats. California has had a history of states shipping homeless/refugees to us and that doesn't help our increasing number of state-grown displacements.

My main issue is title formatting. I don't dislike the TIL bot, but I do dislike the long title being cut off in my app.

All I know is I'm a right proper Kent
