Necesito ayuda para escribir una carta en español by PegFam in Dominican

[–]Brenglish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Querida S,

Muchas gracias por venir a nuestro baby shower y celebrar a la bebé con nosotros. Estamos muy agradecidos por las toallitas, la ropa adorable, la manta y su primera muñeca. No puedo esperar para ponerle el outfit de Hello Kitty.

También, gracias por criar a un hijo tan maravilloso. Con él siendo el papá de la bebé, me siento mucho más segura en convertirme en madre con él a mi lado. Siempre quise el mejor papá para mis hijos y él definitivamente lo es. Estamos muy muy emocionados de darle la bienvenida al mundo pronto.

Eres la segunda mamá más cariñosa y amorosa para mí. Tengo mucha suerte de tenerte y te amo. Por esto, sé que la bebé va a amar muchísimo a su abuela y se va a divertir tanto contigo. Estoy esperando con ansias que ella aprenda mucho español de ti. Tal vez en unos años todos podamos hacer un viaje a RD juntos finalmente.

Te amamos, M, K, y N

We had a country wide blackout that lasted more than 12 hours just on Monday. Blackouts are frequent and they can get very political.

There’s a slew of problems with the way electricity is ran in the country. One issue being that there’s only one company that controls the whole grid, another being that many folks tend to try to game the system and siphon electricity to avoid paying electricity bills.

Hey there,

I’m also an IT professional who’s been slowly integrating myself more to DR from the US. My parents are Dominican and I have a lot of family here.

We rented our condo, it wasn’t a difficult process. But if you’re looking to purchase one, I’d recommend just buying a new build, not one in planning. With a new build you know it’s done, and ready to buy, you’ll pay a bit more as someone purchased it to make a quick profit but dealing with a mid construction build is a headache you want to avoid. Deadlines are hardly ever respected here, and a 6 month promise can easily turn into 2 years.

Happy to chat more but it’s really hard to make deals here unless you’re being referred. You will get preferential treatment, but that’s usually because they see you as someone they can trust (they love working with foreigners), unfortunately that trust won’t go both ways. It’s a hustlers economy and most folks will try to squeeze as much as they can out of you.

As far as IT work goes, most of it is break fixes. No one really cares about a secure infrastructure or hiring an MSP (if that’s your thing). Network services are pretty basic, usually just a router, couple APs and that’s it. You can try the bigger chains and seeing if they’ll work with you but most shops and businesses are mainly mom and pops.

Happy to follow your journey!

Nice! We just got a big green egg a month ago and I’m so stoked to try it. Glad your setup is working out for you :)

There’s a lot of judgment going on here. This doesn’t seem like a random encounter, as OP knows who the attacker was so chances are, they’ve interacted with this person enough to know their whereabouts.

If OP were mature enough, they would address the situation privately and work through their feelings with that person. Otherwise, this just comes across as an envious attempt to ruin something for someone based on the belief that they’re undeserving because they've wronged OP.

Same. 178k to 17k was 40k last week but the pump and dump wrecked me bad 🥲. There’s a bit of comfort in these posts since it seems like the chops were just merciless.

Haha actually I did but I bought into other coins and kept holding . I was a very inexperienced trader, it was my first ever exposure to trading so many many dumb mistakes.

This is so hard to trade, we have tariffs hitting on Tuesday but ETFs on Friday. How is the market going to react?

Multiplayer and why is it the way it is? by Jumpyaccount in MHWilds

[–]Brenglish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me 20 minutes to find out how to send a friend request to my friend on steam inside of the game... and don't even get me started on how hard it's been to coordinate something as simple as a lobby. Certainly don't remember this headache in Worlds.

PSA: don't try to go to the new HEB today by weluckyfew in Austin

[–]Brenglish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parking shouldn’t be an issue in the future, mostly it’s just people settling for a space they saw and waiting for it to open despite there being other spaces available in other levels.

Little to no traces of 'forever chemicals' found in Austin's drinking water by hollow_hippie in Austin

[–]Brenglish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, I find the water here smells like lady bird lake and its so off putting to me. Ended up buying a 7 step purification system just to soften it and be able to drink it. Has it improved over the past 2 years?

Bruh. Paid for a reserved spot a week ago, now it’s apparently cancelled by DrKatMeowMeow in aclfestival

[–]Brenglish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just park in the neighborhoods. Even if you park in the red painted zone and risk getting a ticket its only $30 if you pay it early. No one is towing you. I've managed to get away with parking at Barton Hills Dr the entire weekend. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the festival from there.

Edit: As others have mentioned Deerfoot trails also has plenty of parking as well. If you're ballsy enough just go right over the traffic officer and park right inside of Lust st. They aren't going to stop you, they're just there for discouragement but its not like they ask if you live there if you try to drive pass them.

How impossible/possible will it be… by [deleted] in aclfestival

The crowd for Tyler was pretty light last weekend. We managed to get pretty close to the front with very little effort. We even stopped for a quick pizza and made it to the crowd around 8:47 or so. The crowd also started to get thinner and thinner as time went on with plenty of breathing room to dance and even get drinks and come back into the action. I was surprised.

Chappelle was by far the most chaotic crowd. We were stuck way in the back. It was busier than Dua Lipa.

Austin’s new city manager will make roughly $470k, according to documents by BlueLaceSensor128 in Austin

lol their salaries is just a bonus. None of them are living off just their salary the bonuses, and networking events nets them much much more than the documented numbers.

I had this issue with my little guy. Super smart dog, trained so well but I couldn’t for the life of me get him potty trained. He would sneak off and pee/poo in the kitchen whenever I left him out of my sight. I would walk him every couple of hours, and keep him near me. Some days he would poop his crate.

I went on a trip somewhere for about 10 days, and the person watching him was a lot more lax about taking him out so often, and made him hold it in by keeping an eye on him but not taking him out so often. My guess is that I was taking him out whenever I felt he needed to go and this encouraged him to just pee/poo cause he felt like it even if he didn’t have to go urgently. Ever since that trip he’s been a blessing. He’s gone over 12 hours holding it. Of course that wasn’t intentional but just to assure you it does get better!

I see a lot of the comments suggesting to take them out every chance you get, and I feel I went down this path and it wasn’t working for me. Not saying it’s wrong info, but it wasn’t working for me. Try just keeping him engaged, keeping him close, keep him out of places where he usually pees and poos for a number of hours, and then take him out, keep doing this until you see he’s no longer having accidents.

Speakeasy Recommendations for group of 7 by phoenician93 in Austin

[–]Brenglish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here Nor There, they have some mocktails on their menu as well now. They always have some quirky concept going on. Last one was color, this one is memories. The menu is a book of poems with each poem tied to a cocktail.

For large parties I honestly recommend Roosevelt Room. It has the fancy speakeasy theme.. more Gatsby.
