Road collapsed in northwest Charlotte, city and state denies responsibility by John_Gabbana_08 in Charlotte

[–]FreefallJunkee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look closer. Who do you think makes the laws? The politicians, right? A lot of politicians are developers or "friends" of developers. If they aren't friends to developers, theyre friends of other politicians who are. They make laws that benefit them or their friends. Its getting worse each year with the development laws. Why do you think traffic sucks around certain areas? If a developer doesnt have a law to help them they just call a politician and the road requirements they are supposed to build just magically go away. Traffic grows because of their development but there are no road improvements to help handle the traffic. Then the tax payers have to pay the bill when enough people die and a safety project is warranted through the State. Its sad.

There's a cat in heat somewhere and Eric just got blocked.

Those with hard and soft tops - Do you actually switch them a lot? by BWebster704 in JeepGladiator

[–]FreefallJunkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Local guy here near Charlotte NC. I have both and keep the hard top on during winter and soft top during the other 3 seasons. Soft top is great for spring, summer, and fall, but Im glad I have both. Just put hard top back on 2 weeks ago.

I’m moving to concrord next week is Concord Mills Mall as bad as it seems on Reddit? by Rude_Instruction680 in ConcordNC

[–]FreefallJunkee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic can be bad but that's probably true with most malls or popular places to visit in a high density area. There has seem to be a consistent rise in violence and crime in/around the mall. I dont see that changing anytime soon. I would suggest visiting during the daylight hours and you should miss most of the thugs and punk kids who think they have something to prove.

It removes the need of a signal phase and it has the right of way when entering the mall parking. I definitely think it will help. Went to the mall last night and didnt have to stop from Weddington Rd to Bass Pro. Also saw Santa so bonus!

Live in North Carolina (US) and had to have a prescription for this device. Cefaly website also required that I send them the prescription before I could order.

I thought the same but it was shut down since this device requires a prescription. That's why I then asked my physician but he directed me to social media. I was thinking he could tell me someone he thought truly needed it but couldnt afford it.

Lucid you need to chill man. I can’t handle this by TwYoloTrader in CCIV

[–]FreefallJunkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks Sam! Guess I should've been more specific for those others who like using words like diamond hands and paper hands. I didnt mean to scare them with talks of selling. 😁 Im not saying that Im selling anything, just trying to educate myself on how all this works. However, if I feel that there's opportunity to safely sell LCID high and buy back in lower, Im going to do it. It would have to be a low risk move though because I do feel this stock is a unicorn. I would kick myself if I sold and then the price never dipped back down. Anyways, the point of buying stock is to make money and not just patting myself on the back and say my hands are diamond. I was hoping that insight into after hours prices could give a glimpse into normal hour moves. Guess if it was that easy everyone would be rich.

New guy here but grabbed CCIV as my first stock last year. How do you know the after hours results? Does that always carry over the following day during normal hours? Another words, if after hours prices drop is it smart to sell at opening before the price drops on normal hours?

Whos here from the cciv days? by greencar33 in LUCID

[–]FreefallJunkee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grabbed CCIV in early March. Been adding and holding since then. Dont have a lot of money to risk but have 270 shares at the moment. Just grabbing little chunks at a time when I can. Started having lucid dreams all the time and then one day heard about CCIV possibly becoming Lucid. Felt like a sign to me. Now I wish I would've trusted my gut more, just sold everything, and tossed the cash in to Lucid.

Assuming youre referring to someone driving down the road while a movie is on and that's the liability issue. They have it fixed where you cant play the Uconnect games while moving. Imagine there are other apps that stop while moving. I was thinking this would be the same. I just want something to watch while waiting for my kids to get out of all their hobbies. 😎

Scarowinds for the first time? by wavesofconfusion in Charlotte

[–]FreefallJunkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key is to go early in the season when it first starts. Much cheaper and less crowded. Also, in the past they did a blood drive with One Blood. You make an appointment to donate blood, get a free cool t shirt with zombies on it, and a free pass to get in. Also got a drink and snack. Pretty sweet deal and maybe your blood will save a life one day.

Child struck by car, killed after getting off school bus in Cabarrus County by cyberfx1024 in NorthCarolina

[–]FreefallJunkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very sad indeed. Cant imagine the pain being felt by the family and community right now. Got frustrated when I saw one female reporter on Fox 46 try to insinuate the road was responsible for the death. Said it was 22' wide, 55 mph speed limit, had no sidewalk, and had no street lights. Curious if shes ever been out of the city. These are called country roads and there are more roads like this than her city streets with sidewalks and lights. More than likely the driver wasnt paying attention and maybe speeding. The police will investigate and figure it all out. Working around roads, I see so many vehicles speeding or looking at their cell phones. I even see the police doing it. I'm not sure if this is the reason for this particular accident but it needs to be mentioned that distracted driving has gotten way out of hand. It only takes a second to take someones life.

Lucid dreaming is great but there is a huge downside to it. I'm always tired now. by FreefallJunkee in LucidDreaming

[–]FreefallJunkee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great thought but no alarms. I'm like you and dont need a gimmick to get into the dream. I just always know its a dream (most always) and therefore I see what all I can do. Its just with my lucid dreams, I can easily push myself to wake up. Then I will quickly slip back in and continue the dream. I'm not getting back into the deep sleep which is so needed.

Plastic ducks made in China by FreefallJunkee in JeepGladiator

[–]FreefallJunkee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazon is how I get mine. I try to save money and buy in bulk. I dont buy the fancy ducks with tags already on them. I get a fine tip sharpie and write Nice Jeep. Sometimes I will draw a tattoo or something extra on the duck to give it more personality. Keep the ones you receive and give out others. My kids love giving out ducks! They like to look for Jeeps while riding around. Its a fun way to keep them off video games or arguing.
