Maybe this is really corny, but why can’t people just pick up a phone and call someone instead of twitter or Facebook?

LOL, CAR… I think it’s more a generational thing. Picking up the phone and talking 1 on 1 is too time consuming and too involved. If you don’t have time for a full conversation with one person – you text. If you need to talk to more than one person – say all your friends, you post on facebook or tweet.

Also, folks who use this media assume people CARE what they have to say. And so they post every random thought. Or worse – retweet other people’s random thoughts.

I don’t care, so I don’t do facebook or twitter. It doesn’t add value to my life. I’d rather have conversations. On the phone, in person, or even on a blog where I can interact with folks with great insight and writing style like TG or Allan from Fallbrook.

The advantage of avoiding the newer social media- I won’t have to explain to any future employers about my drunk spring break pictures. If it become necessary to have a facebook presence I’ll be able to control my impulse to put every random thought out there.

I think you’re making it out to be far more difficult than it would be. The protective glass is built in. The units are self-contained and dirt cheap. If no special wiring is required, installation would require all of a couple hours (outside business hours) for the 2-3 urinals in a typical restaurant. If graffiti/vandalism is an issue, then you don’t put them in places that are prone to that.

So no units in the ladies room? Just curious.

[quote=paramount]Is an earthquake of magnitude 8.0+ even possible around Southern California?[/quote]
From what the “experts” were saying on the TeeVee yesterday SoCal could “only” get up to an 8.0 earthquake – max.

The fault that runs from British Columbia down through Mt. Shasta – along the coast of WA and OR is similar to the one that is active in Japan right now…
Rainier, St. Helens, etc are proof that this fault is active. That’s the fault that could go “big”.

I couldn’t find a simple comparison between 2000 and 2010.

the data from the census, for San Diego, is here

The occupancy data for 2010 is here
