Home humidity this time of year?

I recently started using a humidity sensor in my home and noticed my home humidity sitting around 60%, with it hitting 65% in one room. Does anyone else experience humidity like this around this time of year? For reference I live in an ‘80s era home with a slab foundation.

Coffee date? Dinner?

No idea if appropriate to post this here, no hurt feelings if it gets deleted. I'm 42 years old man (seeking a woman), nice enough looking, good heart. Wanted to see if anyone would like to meet.

No: drama, expectations, drugs. I'm sober but don't mind people that smoke or drink. Just would like to meet see if we like each other and if we don't, bid each other thanks for hanging out.

Teriyaki Don Extra Meat Gone

So I went to Teriyaki Don on Monday 11/18/24 and I always order extra meat on my Teriyaki Chicken and Beef Don and the cashier told me that they just took extra meat off the menu the same day I just came there. I was surprised and sad that I can't order extra meat anymore. I went home hoping that they aren't skimping on portions now and when I got home I checked my don and my mom's don and the portions were horrible for the meat. My mom's chicken was so tiny and she only got 5 tiny little pieces of chicken and the beef wasn't much either. Mine wasn't as bad but I can see that they're probably not doing so well with the extra meat option on the menu so that's probably why they took it off and are now being stingy on portions. I really like Teriyaki Don too. The beef has a great grill taste but the chicken is usually dry but it's fine since the sauce saves the chicken. Guess I don't have a safe haven to eat at anymore 😔. How do you guys feel about extra meat being taken out of the menu? Do you guys feel the same?

Where to recycle long fluorescent light bulbs, T12 & T8.

I have some lamps I just replaced in my garage. I know we aren’t supposed to smash these into garbage cans. Is there somewhere local that will take them without charging me? Looking to be a good steward of our environment here.

Recommendations

I will be working as a travel nurse in Merced starting in January. Wanted to see what locals opinions are on the following

-Best way to find housing/room

-I realize it's a small town so what do you guys do or where do you go for fun?

-I am Mexican and never been to Cali so I'm curious about the Mx food. Ive traveled to places up in the northeast and I really ended up missing my tx Mexican food lol (Not Tex-Mex there's a difference). So, what do you recommend for Mexican food? If it's anything like Tijuana food (I've been there for music festivals) then I'll have no problem lmao.

Too Much NOISE

Hello. I need help from all my fellow Americans. Now that we elected a real American tothe White house. I moved to this county 2 years ago from a red state and I am surprised how people here can put up with so much noise. I already wrote the Sheriff so hes aware. I live in "McSwain" but it just means I dont live in the city. There is too much noise here. Too much loud music with too much base. We have a noise ordinance it its not supposed to be more than 10 decibels during the day, at any time. Its only 5 decibels dring the night. After 10:00 pm, it's only 5 decibels. I need help from all my fellow Americans to put a stop to this Sh%t! we need to call out the sheriff and the cops every time. I know it seems like nothing, but this goes to our quality of life. Especially veterans, all we want is peace and quiet in our own homes. Just because you want to blast your stupid music doesn't give you the right to impose on MY peace and quiet. I shouldn't have to listen to your stupid base music all the way inside my house.

EDITED TO ADD: It's obvious the people of this subreddit are slanted. And most dont even read. I don't mind music, I mind how LOUD it is. WHY DO I FORCEDLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR NOISE that you call music? And even if you keep the music level down the extreme base is so loud that it travels blocks, even miles. I work hard, I come home and just want to enjoy my tv shows but there it is, the base just booming into my bedroom. Come on! how many of you ignorants would want some random neighbor just walking into your bedroom and start yelling at you nonstop, and there is nothing you can do about it, except call the cops and hope they come?

Drive safe out there!

Just had a lady somehow think that I had to stop for her since she had a stop sign and I didn’t. Yet she had the audacity to tell me “You see me going why didn’t you stop?!” Well damn I missed the part when I’m supposed to stop for your stop sign.

Any ear wax cleaning services in Merced?

I've tried DIY ear wax cleaning kits but I'm willing to pay for someone experienced to do a more thorough job.

Does anyone know of any establishment or individual who does ear wax cleaning with tools, irrigation etc?
