Relatable. Like 9 times out of 10 it's Hell's Bells. You'd think the ratio would be at least a little more balanced.

I fucking hate this. #TAKE BACK AUTUMN
I grew up non-christian in a small town. It was bad.
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 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.
Edit to add: this probably isn't time sensitive. I'm not advocating you run and stay in a hotel. But the crack with missing mortar isn't a good thing and you should have it checked out.
Metal slides > plastic slides. Even when wearing shorts on a hot day. Anything was better than the god damned static shock.
Jesus fuck
Look maybe I just am tired of sitting, did you ever think of that?!
Lol, nah it's because I was late. Or might leave.
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.
On fabrics? I guess I should clarify I meant any fabrics or carpet. Vinegar does a good job as a last step because I always put it in the second wash (after the enzymatic cleaner) to get any smell that survived.
I've tried vinegar on cat urine on carpet and it didn't dent the smell. Did get the cat spray on walls okay though.

It's not deep fried ranch dressing. The image clearly states it is fried ranch flavored cream cheese. Fried cheese isn't weird.
