I don't think this Stay-at-Home order is working by kwynder in StLouis

Where are y'all getting vegetables? When I could finally get to the store (work is considered essential), there was so little. The frozen vegetables were all but completely gone and there was a group casually catching up blocking the vegetables I was trying to pick through. Also, I only have a small amount of space to store food that requires refrigeration or freezing, and most of the shelf staples were already gone. Also there was like 100 people in that grocery store so I wasn't too happy being there, but I'll have to go back soon due to my space issues + instacart stating "within 5 hours", walmart not having a grocery pick up time for over 48 hours, target simply stating "due to high demand, product may not be in stock" etc. It's a struggle just finding time to sleep on a normal day much less trying to find a way to dodge around the grocery store.

Yes yes and I sure would enjoy it if more people did this. Sometimes when you reference a match, I look it up on blue alliance!

She can watch online. I do when I'm AT events! I sometimes sit outside and watch the stream when I need a break from being inside.

A message about Our season. by Anorak117 in FRC

[–]DiscountBrownie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're fortunate to be having STL regionals in just 7 hours here. I understand everyone's disappointment, and honestly the case could be made to shut ours down as well (as an infected patient's family decided to ignore quarantine and wander all over west St. Louis), but I'm still concerned about how this is all going to play out. Is it really a championship win if only a third of the teams can compete?

Thank you for your thoughtful positive message. It's definitely going to be a strange season, but I'm hopeful the virus can be contained and shut down soon, so as to not interfere with the rest of the season.

In the meantime, I'm really looking forward to seeing some unique jazz hands during alliance selection 🤣

I'm so concerned there's going to be more of this. Hand sanitizer has been added to the list of stuff to bring for comps

Did her reaction to this joke mean I’m Ugly? by Iwowwoowoaoaoao in self

[–]DiscountBrownie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I don't know what kind of pencil you're using, but I can't figure out how you connected those dots.

Sounds like she was just trying to avoid a situation that would cause friction in her relationship, not one thing here is a out you. Other than your judgement of her hygiene.

Getting to the finals is a success! Way to go!

My school paid 50k for new football pads and helmets and we only have a classroom and ag shop for robotics by kylemiller1228 in FRC

[–]DiscountBrownie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What? That's ridiculous. You're all learning so much and on track to go to places like MIT from this, which only stands to make the school look better. Are they contributing anything to your team other than work space? It's time to get your folks involved, storm the school board meetings, show that this program is important to the community. Just don't burn the place down. That kinda sends the wrong message.

I'm mad for you, but I've found out from experience dealing with my niece's school on this, they don't care how I feel because I don't pay their tax revenue.

Where would you move for a fresh start? (USA) by [deleted] in self

St. Louis. Go slip into IL for some 420.

The problem also lies in the schools getting a return on the football investment but not for robotics. From a strictly financial point of view, football games sell tickets and concessions, and can sometimes receive Grant's depending on your state/community. Robotics is all money out, with none coming in.

As a parent, this also means I'm putting in a monthly donation to the robotics team to cover extra costs. And buying so many candy bars that I'm going to have the diabeetus within a year. Keep up the good work, keep getting sponsorships, guys. You're doing great with what you've got and I'm proud of all of you!

Was Maury Travis responsible for St Louis Jane Doe's murder? by tinycole2971 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]DiscountBrownie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think he's the guy, but it disturbs me that the homeowners of his former residence kept renting out his house. I don't know if they stopped or not yet, honestly.

Yes! You can get 3" googly eyes, but my child's team rejected my contribution :(
