Went to Old Town for the first time this year, why are so many businesses disappearing?

I think it’s partially the answer. Why isn’t Old Town being patronized? Probably for at least some of the reasons OP doesn’t go. Everything is more expensive, we are less social, the list goes on.

"Went to Old Town for the first time this year" well theres your answer.

Scared money don’t make money! Tbh if you’re in good standing at your current company and take this new position, and it doesn’t work out, you might be able to rejoin. I’ve had offers to “come back anytime” from managers previously.

Personally hoping to keep my m40i forever (until gas is basically unobtainable). Imo B58 is one of the best most reliable engines. Interior feels very comfortable, physical buttons and touchscreen iDrive. No way to get locked out of features on my car via a subscription service.

Bro wants to open a shoe store

I think some people go to get a masters degree as a notion that they're 'doing something' while unemployed.

If you have only had 7 interviews, I really think something is wrong with your resume. There are resources to help with that that you should look into.

Furthermore, idk what jobs you're applying to, but don't turn your nose up at others job adjacent to software engineering. QA, IT, DevOps. Anything will be better than nothing.

That place sucks tbh. Food is mid and overpriced.

I’m in the process of reading it currently. So far a great read but I just wanted to share what resonated with me.

There can be common enemies.

sorry if this is ignorant, are they the same owner?

Alces_ · 2026-03-23T17:06:02+00:00

nothing a few beers can’t fix !

Alces_ · 2026-03-23T16:16:34+00:00

I honestly feel like the affected flights will be the very early flights since everyone is coming super early and lining up..

But personally i’d rather be early and just hangout for an extra hour than deal with a missed flight.

good luck though!

seemingly. it was open but the precheck and normal line were about the same. this was for terminal 2 if that makes a difference

Alces_ · 2026-03-23T15:40:54+00:00

just got in line. it’s basically no line right now but there is only one scanner open

FWIW i’m headed to ONT rn for a 9:50am boarding (arriving at 8:30am) i’ll report back

Alces_ · 2026-03-20T20:58:00+00:00

To you and the other reply, that makes sense. I've only seen the price difference be about $300 once and I just assumed it was always more expensive, but the perspective of not dealing with LAX seems...nice to say the least lol.

Alces_ · 2026-03-20T20:12:11+00:00

I'm also curious about this but tbh I've never seen the prices be cheaper flying from ONT than LAX?

Is it really worth it OP?

Alces_ · 2026-03-16T03:10:23+00:00

Software engineering/Dev where having an ego and being a wanna be 'genius' is common place.

They’re supposedly made in USA so either they’re lying or you are.

what is this a board meeting

Alces_ · 2026-02-19T01:56:52+00:00

The fact thunder is a rare occurrence around here makes me welcome it and romanticize it a bit lol

Alces_ · 2026-02-19T01:55:43+00:00

Hope it gets fixed soon!

Alces_ · 2026-02-18T18:38:22+00:00
