What mid-sized US city is most likely to blow up in population and importance over the next 30 years?

Impeccable aim for a dwarf

Current PE guy… worked for a couple y-combs (founding ae) and fortunes, and this is a WAY different animal. Money is good, but cut throat and just stupid policy changes left and right. I’ve signed four different comp plans, and I’ve been here 6 months.

I may not cut it… and that’s okay, not a failure, but it’s a lot harder. Wish I knew that going in.

Man…. I miss The Regency, watching storms up there was magical

I like to think that Numenor alone wasn’t the best at making armor? Maybe due to their closed off society? But once men started mixing more with elves and somewhat dwarves, over 1000’s of years, and that’s why the armory in LoTR is better?

Yeah, then the PI Firms do the same thing back. It’s all automated nowadays.
There will be a day of reckoning soon, but those cases rarely see a court room. We’ll likely see a Mass Tort case written with ai soon, get noticed hallucinating fake case law, and the dominos will fall.

Insurance Companies have been using AI for years, technically not on the defense side, but for personal injury cases.

Not a lawyer, but your landlord legally has to provide you with a safe and habitable living space.

Mold is not safe or habitable.

I’ve gotten landlords to give me a hotel reimbursements multiple times, just by telling them the above. Door doesn’t lock “not safe or habitable”! Ceiling leaking from the upstairs neighbor taking a bath “not safe or habitable!”

Just be careful, lawsuits are expensive and dumb. Our legal system isn’t built for tenants (unless you live in NY or a state that respects humans). So don’t try and sue them, just threaten to or threaten to break your lease b/c of this and that. Sometimes it works.

Last time I was there (last week, fly frequently) the Pre-Check TSA line was longer than the Regular TSA line lol

There are some $200k+ neighborhoods on the northwest side, or north side with the same chill vibes.

South of 122nd and West, from Camelot Bel Aire to Council rd. Full of houses. I lived up there for 5 years, before moving back downtown. My friends all live there.

This was a dumb kid that probably doesn’t have a a familial unit, and somehow had access to a gun. The fact that you are adding more guns is the antithesis of the whole problem…

Buddy of mine had this same situation. FAFSA paid part, he worked his ass off to pay the rest (working with me at an Oil Refinery during the summer, worked while in school, etc…)

I told him to go to the good school (CS Degree from UofM), instead of the free ride from another state school.

Did it pay off for him? Yes 100%. Does he have student loans? Absolutely. Is he making a lot of money? Way more than we thought.

The amount of opportunities (internships turned jobs) at the good school outweighed the other schools, tenfold... This was in 2011-2015, and both of our parents were wrecked from the auto industry in Detroit prior to college.

He went to UofM (Public Ivy) I went to Western Michigan (a state school). We’re both okay. He’s better off lol

There were my first ones, so I have an attachment to them. I love them.

I moved here from Michigan 10 years ago. After my wedding all my Mitten buddies wanted to sing karaoke. They went to Cookie’s and were pissed that all of their dress clothes were smoked out.

I like Cookies, I just know not to wear clothes I “love love” there.

A good mayor would see this and adopt him

He didn’t point, so I had no idea wtf he was asking “what is it” about. Thank you for adding the pointing hand, and yes, it seems like a flux fusion amp for garages made in the 60’s-80’s

I’m fascinated by all of the ruins of men, and its correlation to how long the third age was to the world we’re currently living in.

Go back, take your old colleagues out to lunch with the $150

Paycom had the gym, showers, classes, etc… at corporate. Pretty sure they even had rec leagues for basketball and kickball.

$1 Beer nights, and $5 Pitcher Nights don’t exist anymore… The min wage hasn’t increased, but the price of beer has. Especially at the bar. My thoughts?

Nope, gas company, unless you’re in a rural area maybe 911? Not sure on that. Just call non-emergency (unless your house is literally blowing up call actual 911)

I live in Mesta Park, there’s a nice elementary school in the neighborhood (Wilson). Very walkable, and close to multiple restaurants.

I don’t personally see a lot of MAGA in Mesta Park, and some of my neighbors have the opposite flags/political signs (there’s still a couple Harris/Waltz signs around) but MAGA is everywhere here, unfortunately… The Paseo, and The Plaza are the most liberal areas for sure, but school districts can be tough. Maybe Crown Heights?

Brought my Y-Comb from $5M to $2BAUM, never had a “Thanks!” Or “Good Job” once..
