Pretty funny this is the first post I saw after posting https://tech.lgbt/@foundthefault/117244481080190608
The 7 series batteries are garbage. The 7a has a practically unclaimable warranty extension but I don't think they've admitted the 7 Pro issues yet.

Google: Right to repair! We partnered with iFixit to provide OEM parts! Joy! Sparkly unicorns!
Also Google: The Pixel 7a batteries are defective and prone to going spicy pillow
My Pixel 7a: *inflates big and round*
iFixit: Pixel 7a batteries are out of stock. No really, you can't buy one. Don't exist.
Me: Right, so I can repair this phone with a $450 battery that happens to come with a new phone attached.

Anytime I see devices using RJ-45 for proprietary connections that include power I get a bit anxious.

Was this a smoke generating event?

I found one intersection with these style buttons, but the street view is from 4-2026 and I don't see the sticker on any of them.
However, in looking at the other corners, the sign seems slightly different. The font is different along with the arrow width.
Looking at an older street view, from 3-2022, we can see the sign was missing then.
Because of this, I think the sign pictured in 4-2026 is a replacement, and that replacement matches the one shown in the picture, albeit without the sticker.
So my guess is 32°44'54.0"N 117°09'18.6"W , in front of the Ace Hardware.
Funny enough the building with the odd geometric pattern from a previous post is also nearby on this street! These clues probably would have provided an alternate method to solve that one.

At face value, this looks impossible. But can we make some assumptions and get lucky?
What do we have? Well we have the rest of Coleen's posts. About 1:40 after this was posted, she mentioned changing after Pilates. So if this was posted when taken, it was probably while going to Pilates. There is a screenshot some posts back of a class schedule that shows some instructor's names. A quick google of the most unusual sounding name and pilates gets the name and address of the studio. (I am leaving out the specifics here intentionally for privacy)
Looking on the street the studio is located on, there are a couple big intersections with traffic lights. The majority of them seem to have different style walk buttons, the talking ones.
But... (con't in next post)

I looked at this and laughed for a second thinking it'd be a hell of a thing to locate.
Naturally, I couldn't get my silly brain to stop thinking about it, so, uh, anyway I have a guess. No conclusive proof though.
I wont say any more unless you OK it since this wasn't directly invited.

This one is full of clues. The poster says "Bird Park" for the location, and in the background the building has a big "10" up top.
I searched "Bird Park San Diego CA" on maps, figuring the poster is not too far from where the event would be. I briefly looked around the street near the park but nothing interesting.
I put in "10" and the 3rd result is "10th & Robinson Apartments". The street view near there quickly verified as the background building.
A little backtracking from there down the street and we're at: 32°44'48.5"N 117°09'18.7"W
Street view in this area is really screwy and there is only one small segment from 2026. The rest are older and don't show the current sign Little Coleen is on, or the apartment complex which was just built.

I was really stumped for a bit on this one. I tried google image searching a screenshot of the geometric pattern, but no useful hits.
I kept squinting at the small amount of lettering on the door in the background. The only useful thing I could make out at the upper left was possibly "HYD"
I tried "Hyd Hillcrest CA in maps, which only brought up a place called "Hydout Cafe" and some "Hyderabad..." business names. None of these were useful.
I kept thinking about what what other word has Hyd... really nothing came to mind except Hydration. I was doubtful but typed in "Hydration Hillcrest CA". First hit is a place called "Hydration Room - Hillcrest".
I wasn't immediately sure because this building appears to have morphed many times with various nonsense businesses, but I think its 32°44'54.9"N 117°09'17.3"W and I swear I can see a blurry outline of little Coleen in the 4/2026 street view.

The new cashback is paying cash. There are a lot of places by me with 3%+ discounts on cash transactions, so its better than any credit card rewards I can get.

Please consider how incredibly insulting constantly repeating this is.
Trans folks in the USA know what is going on with the government, but we have extended families, jobs, homes, loved ones, every single basic connection to anything in the world here.
For many of us, the realities of moving to another country are so far removed from what is reasonably possible. It only comes off as a way to spread FUD more than anything else.
In this context what is really being said is "Prepare to throw your entire life away. It's coming and you will need to do it. If you don't there are no other options."
Does that sound helpful or does it fill you with dread?

Did you know APC made an adorable translucent UPS to match the computers in the mid 2000's? The clear power cord is really special.
