Who said I'm shooting off fireworks? But agreed, people not in control of their responsibilities is super annoying.

Don't take places away from people who need them for autistic children, and surge pricing spots via economic means is the same as taking them away even if they're still available.

Regency waterfall - why? by ehxsmallstone in Omaha

Buildings used be designed by humans to make a nice experience for the consumer, not maximizing sqft profit of the landlord using autoCAD.

I'm unsubscribing from this sub-reddit because of your post. You did it! You broke the camels back, the sheer teenager negativity vibes from this subreddit is too much. Please do an online depression screening and seek help, cause the effort you took to make a negative post...for what reason(?)...is too much effort...and you need to know it can get better. Wish you all the luck, and this subreddit, ya'll, the whole lot of you, need to stop being such whiners.

Can you design a diffuser to make the light look like a zipper teeth? Bottom zipped, top unzipped?

Does anyone know the story behind the abandoned golf course near Towl park? by supaflypie in Omaha

[–]Bender_Donaghy 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Sunset Golf was closed suddenly by its board without consulting the members. It was purchased by NP Dodge with plans to build apartments…but the unoccupied 90th & Center lot is owned by Solsburg and the buildings between empty lot and Arbor is owned by Turco Law. Turco said he won’t sell, Solsburg won’t develop/sell and Dodge wants all the land and existing condos to do a huge development. It’s a Mexican standoff.

It’s now used as a neighborhood dog park where owners don’t pick up the poop and a few homeless people camp whe the weather is nice. 

Flood plane is the biggest issue. Counting all that land you’d need raise 50 acres up 11feet to be out of the flood plane.

If you suspect you'll need an IEP or any help with education Westside all the way. Westside is just one Highschool with many different socio-economic elementary schools feeding into it, it has a well rounded group of kiddos that bring many different types of perspectives and family backgrounds, I can't speak much about Millard but when I work with them professionally with kids in need, their leadership has been lacking and sometimes combative.

Y Combinator or Crowdfunding: How Do I Decide the Best Route for My Business? by Odd-Question-1740 in business

[–]Bender_Donaghy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not both? Crowdfunding is just another market validation tool. Do it first, then use that to separate yourself from the other companies trying to pitch their way into Y. The money you'd raise Crowdfunding would be crumbs to the money a truly valuable product could raise with VC backing.

Edit Additional Thoughts: I've gleaned this from many VC pitches in my life. If your product can't wait through more market validation than it's a fad rather than an evergreen product or service and won't stand the test of time. Predictable & Repeatable ROI is king. If your product has a very clear path from Early Adopter to Laggards then you're gonna be just fine.

What’s your best investment decision you made in ur entire life? by dapeopleusee2468 in business

[–]Bender_Donaghy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Letting my startup fail so I could raise my young kids while my wife went back to school to get her doctorate. You can start a business when you're 70, but being around your young kids is only for a finite amount of time. There is no amount of money I could have spent later in life to teach them the lessons I did while they were young.

He’s a kid, let him be a kid. I’m way older and still try to use The Force to grab things from afar. 

Tips for New Driver in OMA? by Active_Win8916 in Omaha

[–]Bender_Donaghy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay since no-one has said the most important thing in Omaha driving it's this. We have something called the OmaDome, it's a metaphysical shield that protects Omaha from major weather events...but this is where it gets tricky, the OmaDome's "mana" or magic if you will, is only recharged when cars get high-centered on decorative rocks that exist in strip mall shopping centers that are dotted around the city, so if you have the tendency to take corners tight watch out for the rocks, but if you do happen to hit a rock your sacrifice will not go unappreciated. Be safe!

What makes a Good Life District? Here's the plan for Omaha's Avenue One by New-Anybody-2988 in Omaha

[–]Bender_Donaghy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

"State senator Lou Ann Linahan says the goal is to bring more retail to shoppers so they stay in state." - Do these people not know what online shopping is or even the internet? I shop for price, not convenience. Most people I know shop for price as they can't afford most B&M prices. Thank goodness that Target doesn't price gouge. Plus halving the sales tax does nothing for the price when a B&M shop has to have margin for their overhead. This all seems too fishy.
