It’s spawning season for the common Politicianus localis here. The species is parasitic in the adult form as it attaches itself inextricably to its food source (the American dollar) and becomes very difficult to eradicate. But it’s a real pest during spawning season in Irvine because you can see the larvae sprouting out of the lawns by the thousands, making the street side very unsightly. The larval form is about 2′ x 3′ but completely flat, typically displaying colorful red, white, & blue lettering. Fortunately, most larvae do not survive to become fully fledged politicians and they will be gone from the lawns by the end of November.

Wow 2 years waiting for this gym to open up just for that….

Everything feels crammed, couldn’t imagine what this gym will be like if 50 people were working out at once. No steam room, jacuzzi, pool, or sauna. Only 3 showers.

Such a fail execution with this gym…. I would have rather not have it open than to experience that. Definitely not worth the price for what you get. Huge disappointment.

I can’t believe they fumbled both Irvine locations… while the Upland gym in the IE is far superior 🤦‍♂️

Recommendations sought near Woodbridge for HS math tutors.

Looking for someone with genuine passion for mathematics, and communication skills that can make math simple and beautiful. That might be asking too much, but worth a try.

We live right outside UCI, and previously had Cox internet, and it worked perfectly fine. However, ever since the transition to Spectrum, we've been experiencing frequent internet disconnections for several weeks now.

The internet randomly goes down 3–4 times every single day, usually for just 1–2 minutes. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when we're on work calls, streaming, or even just browsing.

We've contacted Spectrum, but they haven't provided a clear explanation or timeline for a resolution.

Is anyone else in Irvine experiencing similar issues? Has anyone managed to get Spectrum to fix this permanently or has gotten a timeline/root cause from them?

Trying to figure out whether this is a widespread issue or something specific to our connection. Thanks!
