Good points, I withdraw my DIY comment and reiterate that this is structural damage that needs to be looked at by professionals.

This comment does not constitute professional advice and whatever else I have to say that clearly indicates this is not my professional opinion.
These cracks appear structural in nature.
They do need to be repaired and probably by someone who can rule out other factors. Mostly I’m concerned about the large aperture crack between the blocks at the top as a source of water infiltration and maybe even pests but that’s not my purview.
You probably don’t need a structural engineer but a foundation repair company should take a look at it.
If you DIY it I would document the cracks really well and check on them regularly. I don’t really recommend DIY simply due to the large aperture crack up top. Were I there in person I would look at the penetration of it (how deep does the crack go?) to determine more. If it penetrates deeply, again, I would recommend having someone look at it.
That being said are you on a hill of any kind? Did these cracks appear the same day as the earthquake or after? The larger one looks older. Do you have other cracks in the foundation? Sticky doors or windows? If you’re on a hill at all I would reach out to a geotechnical firm as these cracks, if they’re not directly earthquake related, could be indicators of slope instability.
Also are you in a floodplain? Old filled in estuary? There could have been significant settlement during the earthquake that may need to be addressed.
Homeowner’s insurance, in my experience, will not fix earthquake damage. If you live in an earthquake prone area I recommend you purchase a separate earthquake policy. Ours is about $40/month.

Our local Mayor is a millennial. Everyone on the city council is boomer or older. The boomers are children playing highschool politics with obvious smear campaigns, audience plants, and are clamoring about “disrespect” that the mayor showed when forced by the media to make a statement about the councilman doing something so egregious in a meeting it made national news.
I feel bad for the Mayor and hate those city council fucks. But I live outside the city boundary so even though we’re affected by their policies we can’t vote or anything.
It’s horribly shameful.
Jesus fucking christ the people you met in college were animals.
Does it have to be alive? We dissected dogfish in college.
Does a quiz count as an exam?
I feel so bad downvoting you but I haven’t either, I don’t know how. I thought it was just something the instance owner could do.
It never occurred to me before this question but Fossilesque is cool as hell.
That’s awesome man! I’m sorry for whatever made you hit your out of pocket max but I’m glad you’re planning to take full advantage of this gravy train.
Referrals AND a new patient appointment in less than 3 months? You’re dreaming.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? That’s awesome. Thanks for letting me know!
Somebody tell FFXIV, I’d go back in a heartbeat.
Literally anything. They don’t have to exaggerate their mouth sounds either. I have misophonia.
Yes. Wigs are sweltering hot, sweaty, and itchy. I’ve only worn synthetic though. I’ve heard human hair wigs are better but not by much.
You can get used to it or suffer through based on how sensitive you are.
Depending on the balding pattern she may tolerate toppers and other hair pieces rather than a full wig, which may be more comfortable.
We’ve used kwikset dumb locks (no app) and never had one fail. We only had to change the batteries once and that was because I was paranoid that it had been 3 years, not because the batteries were dying. When it fails it is supposed to fail “locked” but again, we’ve never had it fail. We did discover to use the good name brand batteries though.
Don’t get me wrong, we still have keys just in case, but holy crap the freedom of mind is great. My partner has severe anxiety and used to check the locks 6+ times a day but it auto locks now and they don’t have to worry about it. I think they only check now before bed.
This is why we got keypads. Never getting locked out because of the I-thought-you-had-them or any other reason.
I just was rejected from 5 jobs in a row. I straight up asked how I could have been a more competitive candidate. I got some specific feedback about software I didn’t know (fair), an answer on a questionnaire that was milquetoast (also fair), but mostly kind things said. They’re not going to drag you but it can be a productive conversation.
It was gross back then too. In the 90s the Coasties would trawl the junior high girls. 25 year old men “dating” 13 year olds. We all knew it was gross as fuck and not okay but small town cops didn’t give a fuck. Hell there was a deputy “dating” a 16 year old too.
It wasn’t looked at differently in the 90s.
A guy in my class knocked up a 14 year old during senior year and we basically all stopped talking to him because fucking ew, dude.
I grew up non-christian in a small town. It was bad.
