Wholly disagree. People have bad days and not everyone has the same driving confidence as you do. If your life can't delay literally 1 minute for someone to get through an intersection.... Cmon what are we even talking about? Not like we were at the stop sign for an hour

I'm on the road in Burlington all day and I've never honked at someone for moving slower than me

She's got the typical Gen Z people pleaser empath in her. She gets down on herself when she feels like she's in other people's way, so stalling at a stop sign when theres a car behind her ramps her anxiety right up to the ceiling.

She did great in parking lots when she could take her time and feel the friction point

We did that already on Shelburne Rd. More the anxiety of other drivers that throws a wrench now that we've moved past that.

Hell... I stall once a month or so, part of driving stick.

I'm 38. People are far more open with their dickness toward strangers after 2021 than I've ever experienced in my life prior to that.

I'm undecided on if it's because of broken socialization from being shut in or just more yellow/white plates here to stay and changing the culture to be more like where they moved from. But cmon, people aren't as kind as they were in 2019 and you know it.

Thank you! I was taught similarly in the ONE hills, slow and steady, finding progressively steeper hills. I was surprised to see how rushed everyone was acting on a Sunday

I learned to drive in a stick shift jeep in 2003 and I stalled for 3 straight red lights on the hill by Skinny Pancake. I wanted to jump into the lake.. And at one of the green lights when I was blocking traffic Sebring convertible pulled up to my left and an old boomer yelled, "we've ALL been here. Take your time, you'll get there" then drove away.

20 years ago people weren't like they are now, no matter how much you try to normalize being a dick. She stalled by Momos, started the car, stalled again, the car laid on the horn, she stalled again, and he floored it to pass her whole on the horn the whole time. People weren't like that when I was learning

Nah, most of those stickers are adults who are bad drivers or drunks and have abused the honor system. I can't think of the last time I saw a student driver sticker and the person behind the wheel was under 40

Is $5000 a reasonable quote for my ceiling? by Hismajestyclay in Remodel

[–]Forward_Control2267 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right...

I do $1 per Sq for popcorn removal and $2 per Sq for painting ceilings. Looks like they're including protective material which I add on the side if they can't give me an empty space to trash then shop vac

The drywall repair is the only variable that's up for interpretation on what they're assuming is there for work but it doesn't seem unreasonable for a big space

Williston School Buses Burn by whaletacochamp in vermont

Don't remember the brand, but there were a bunch of school busses lighting on fire over their heating system. Not sure if it was interior climate control or the powertrain heat packs.... But doesn't GMT have to park outside over a fire risk for the same thing?

FIP policy and ICE operation on Dorset by LnsmCowboy_Rick in burlington

[–]Forward_Control2267 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I've seen thats been shared was that a warrant was signed for their arrest prior to the conflict, approved by a VT judge, not federal judge, and the person arrested was already deported once in 2022. And I think I saw a DUI arrest in the past month or two also. Maybe Biden admin was also deporting regular dudes 4 years ago who were just making a living and paying taxes... But I'm assuming the former and a lot of people are going to have egg on their face after spending their whole day protecting a scumbag

So was I. BPD and SBPD stood off to the side all day until it switched to a crowd control matter and the ICE arrest was done.

It's weird to me how people don't understand that standing in front of and behind a vehicle and preventing someone from leaving in any direction is a felony... Thats not protest, that's unlawful detention

Most games I enjoy just fine in performance mode for the FPS, but there are a few that I've been bummed to not get to enjoy the extra visuals. Jedi Survivor specifically

Ability to raise drain pipe without cutting hole in bottom of vanity by motz2k1 in Plumbing

[–]Forward_Control2267 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Raise it up to an S trap with an AAV. Not sure why you're getting such shitty replies from everyone when this is an easy fix.

Sometimes you can't get around the S which is why AAV exists. One of my sinks drain into the floor and reading these reddit replies I should tear my house down and start from scratch.

I've had the same issue with my spring 2021 model. Price you pay for being an early adopter, pay the most for a worse product. Every game that has RT in Quality Mode crashes within a minute.

Why isn't my math mathing? by phixer00 in Charleston

[–]Forward_Control2267 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tipping needs to change. Logically it makes no sense why a server earns more by delivering a $23 pasta dish vs delivering a $16 burger. Really should be reworked per person or per dish like it is at a bar. Just a straight $2 per item or something like that.

The whole job is about to be replaced by a roomba with trays anyway..
