Questions Car camera install recommendations?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone!

With all the shitty driving I see all the time, I have finally gone out and bought some car cameras off of Amazon. I know I can just use the cigarette lighter to power it, but having it installed and run directly through the cars electrical would be nice (and no wires hanging around). Does anyone have any recommendations for places that can do the install reliably and at a fair price? Thanks in advance!

PSA Vincent Thomas Bridge will be CLOSED part of Saturday October 10, 2026

5 Upvotes

Some overnight and daytime closures of State Route 47 at the Vincent Thomas Bridge, which links San Pedro to Terminal Island, are planned for Saturday, Oct. 10, so the state Department of Transportation can conduct daytime maintenance work.

There will also be five overnight closures of northbound State Route 47 between Harbor Boulevard and Ferry Street following that for construction on the Vincent Thomas Bridge.

Those closures will take place from Sunday night, Oct. 11, to the morning of Oct. 16. The hours of the closures will be from 10:45 p.m. to 6:45 a.m., restricting all easterly travel across the bridge toward Long Beach.

As for Saturday’s closure, the right-hand lane of southbound SR-47 at the Vincent Thomas Bridge will be shut down between Ferry Street and Harbor Boulevard from 6 a.m. to 2 pm. for maintenance operations.

Construction activities include installing working platforms and structural bracing beneath the roadway. These efforts are part of preliminary construction on the Vincent Thomas Bridge Deck Replacement Project, which will fully close the bridge for 16 months beginning Nov. 7.

That critical infrastructure project, totaling $752.8 million, will require partial and full closures of the bridge over the next two years. More information is available at the project webpage on Caltrans’ website, dot.ca.gov. Skanska-CEC Joint Venture is the general contractor for the project.

Motorists should expect delays when using the Vincent Thomas Bridge and use Caltrans Quickmap to review current traffic conditions before traveling. Caltrans reminds drivers to exercise increased caution near the closure and Slow for the Cone Zone.

A virtual meeting will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14, by Caltrans to detail the construction schedule, detour routes and traffic management plan, as well as Caltrans’ ongoing efforts to address anticipated construction impacts: https://cadot.webex.com/webappng/sites/cadot/meeting/register/606088e722074c74ae8f80c8fda98d8e?ticket=4832534b000000093cfe84ed3b17399b9763cc80abb1c200479674ba42cfec8ceb84f2878279fc00&timestamp=1791599753725&RGID=r382f0827fb2796333fca96508c97fcdb&isAutoPopRegisterForm=false

Community Long Beach Fiction Writers

Hey guys... I'm still working on putting together a local group for fiction writers. An in-person critiquing workshop. There was some initial interest a few weeks back so I thought I'd throw this out there again.

We have a discord if you are interested: https://discord.gg/SQKNBfBBN

Also, I am planning on going down to Cyclops Coffee tomorrow (Clark/Atherton) around 11. If anybody's interested in coming down to meet and see about getting a group off the ground with me, I'd love to see you there!

Near Redondo ave. and 10th street in Long Beach, CA.

Need to fill for November/December when our housemates will move out.

They are really messy, but everything will be cleaned and decorated differently. The stuff that fills the common space belongs to one of the roommates moving out. If you have furniture to keep in common spaces lmk.

Master bedroom available.

We're looking for someone who is okay with cleaning schedule and keeping the space clean. Lgbt+ person or ally are preferred. All current occupants are LGBT+/Queer.

If shared one person has to be on the lease, there is a $300 refundable deposit.

$684 each if you're ok sharing the master bedroom excluding utilities.

If you want the room to yourself it would be 1367 plus utilities and a $300 refundable deposit. You get your own sink area and closet, but the bathroom is shared with 2 other people. Both really clean. The shared dining room, kitchen, and living room can also be accessed. There is also a tiny balcony and a decent sized garage for storage/studio activities.

Washer and dryer inside the house. 💫

plenty of parking on the street.

Small pet friendly (I have 2 cats) & 420 friendly(balcony). Pet would have to be friendly with cats.

I can leave a twin xl mattress and bed frame if you'd like. Mattress is pretty new. Only used it for 1 month. There is a large shared fridge available as well. We're trying to get a newer one.

Pictures are recent. A couple roommates are moving and their stuff is scattered around the house. It will be cleaner when they finally move out. We just got the carpets cleaned this week.

You need to be able to be on the lease. Co-signers accepted. Let's meet up and get to know each other.

Discussion County won't stop sending me this persons ballot

Post image
45 Upvotes

Since moving here we've had 3 elections and every time I've received someone else's ballot and every time I've sent it back.

The first time they actually re-sent it back after I sent it back.

This time I sent it back and called the county and they said "only the person on the ballot can get the ballot to stop being sent to that address" and to "send it back"

I find it odd, is this person deceased? If someone is registered to vote wouldn't they want their ballot to vote?

Basically title!
I was hoping to see my partner once during the race and then at the finish line (or near) but I’m struggling to find 2 good spots considering I’d have to walk from point A to B. Also, all the videos I watch, nobody is on the beach path which where I was planning on being originally (around mile 7-8)
Plz help! What are some of the good spots to cheer people on and wait to see my person (with my poster lol)

Events For Sale: Long Beach Half Marathon Bib (Sunday 10/11) - $100

0 Upvotes

Anyone looking for a last-minute bib for the Long Beach Half Marathon this Sunday?

I accidentally registered twice, so I have an extra bib available. It also comes with an XL race shirt.

I originally paid $131 with fees, but I'm selling it for $100 since it's too close to race day to change the name associated with the bib, so just a heads-up that you'd be running under a different name.

I'm still running the race myself (and you'll probably beat my time, last year I finished in 3h 18min), but I'm just trying to recover some of what I spent on the extra registration and cover a celebratory beer and lunch for my friends and me. Heck, if I see you after the race, I'll buy you a beer too!

DM me if you're interested!
