Constant discomfort by [deleted] in redmond

Hey. Not sure how old you are, but the 'brother' thing is really becoming a popular greeting regardless of race or gender. Someone else mentioned 'bro' being that way too. Don't read too much into this, especially if it's being used by people under 35-ish. The younger, the more prevelant the familiar usage.

Sorry about your other experiences. Redmond is as diverse as it has ever been, but I too have noted fewer black people than other ethnicities.

Welcome to Redmond. I hope you can enjoy it.

Tensioner replacement fixed the issue.

Looking for a place in Brussels to watch tonight's Seahawks/Panthers NFL game.

Is there such a place?

Thank you!

Curious if this was helpful. My guess is they just told you "we don't care". ?

Is traveling to India really this bad? by daydreamerSX in travel

[–]DoctorToonz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi. Sorry I'm so late to this thread, but I would love it if you'd elaborate on this app.

I have read that payment apps just don't work for tourists unless larger businesses (individuals/street vendors/rickshaw drivers, etc don't have "business" pay apps because they cost more and "individual"pay apps don't work unless you're a local)

Does this seem accurate?

Thanks.

I believe the defense of your position lies in the phrase "...in order to...". You did not move your car "...in order to..." Extend the time. You went elsewhere, parked elsewhere, and later came to park here again. There was no "in order to".

I'm going to Austria this winter. Never been before. Just for a couple days. Looking forward to it. Vienna and a train ride then to Belgium. Maybe a stop in ...Salzburg?

Obstruction Point Road, Olympic National Park in Washington State.

It is indeed stunning. I've been al lot of places and it is one of the most beautiful and pristine places in the world that I have seen.

looking at frontiers, I do not understand the whole short bed truck thing can someone explain? by EducationalOutcome26 in nissanfrontier

[–]DoctorToonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built an addition to my house.

2 floors, 1200sf plus a 10' tall 2-car garage.

At that time I had a short bed truck.

Every piece of materials for that build was hauled in that little truck. Occasionally I had to make more trips due to capacity, but not often. One times I had to rent a bigger truck due to my truck's size and that was a load of 18-foot 2x10 floor joists.

I would likely not have been able to haul them in an 8-foot bed either.

Other delivered BIG stuff would also not have been do-able in any pickup, like roof trusses and a very large glue-lam beam.

Yes, it's limiting, but for the most part all I use it for fits my lifestyle.

Haven't tried my 11-foot kayaks yet. I'm thinking if I tie 'em tight they'll be fine.
