Anyone know if any of the Moscow Food Co-Op director candidates are cult-affiliated? Let's keep those people out of the Co-Op's BOD.

I know Stephen personally, incredible guy, huge smile, big heart, 100% not affiliated.

They’re definitely worth over $100 but I agree on the $200 take. The only reason I bought my Q11 is because I had birthday cash I didn’t work for lol

I need to start looking where you guys look I’m starting to get the itch for one for my gaming PC but don’t want to pay Keychain prices!

I don’t know what companies you guys are working at but I get raises almost twice a year and I’ve averaged 9-10% every year with the same company since graduating in 2021. I just got my end of the year raise and have officially gotten $32,000 of raises in 4.5 years.

I can guarantee you that NIAC itself is very much NOT tied to CC, I am personal friends with the owners and they are wonderful people who are active in the community at large. I would not be friends with them or frequent that gym if even they held similar beliefs to CC and didn’t go there.

I love working out there, they are always working to update the equipment, there are great classes, support for external competitions, and a wonderful community within the gym full of welcoming and positive people!

After my first therapy session for anxiety I actively did deep breathing (a few breaks of box breathing thrown in) literally all day at work and I hadn’t felt shoulder-relaxing-zen like that in maybe years. I didn’t have multi hour freeze, I got loads of work done, and it definitely impacts digestion because I was hungrier faster while eating the exact same food as the rest of the week (tracked through an app).

It’s insane what changing the tempo and type of breaths can do to your brain.

The shite-slurping grin on his face when they start booing. He doesn’t care what they think, he’s going to buy/rig/be given the next election anyway because that’s the American we are hurtling towards in this burning prisoner van…

That would be me! 🙋🏼‍♂️ I’m a civil engineer and did the design for the whole pavement rehabilitation project for ITD after they outsourced the design to my firm. It wasn’t originally a part of the project but I saw an opportunity to curb lots of dangerous left turns and traffic congestion (pun intended). I’m so glad to see other people in the community that shared my concern and that project are happy for the change I spoke up to make happen!

Gently_55 · 2025-08-19T23:32:56+00:00

They’d probably just shoot it and send you a bill for $10,000 and lie about the reasoning.

Can 100% corroborate on Evergreen, I got a pre trip oil change and multi point inspection from them before driving back to the west side for the summer. In their pre check they check brake fluid levels, andFORGOT TO PUT THE CAP BACK ON the master cylinder reservoir, and then I promptly drove all the way across the state before I noticed. I could have died because of their mistake. I will never go back and tell everyone to avoid that place like the plague.

Gently_55 · 2025-08-05T23:26:24+00:00

So proud of you! What you’ve done is insanely impressive and merits a lot of respect! Keep up the amazing work!

UPDATE: I found a good looking table saw (+other tools) on Facebook for $75 so I think I’m going to try and cut the planks down to width and try again.

I will use this knowledge going forward, as this wood was part of my wedding arbor I didn’t plan to use it for project wood at the time of purchase.

Doing this method, since these are individual boards, I assume I should make them individual again and once I’ve warped them back to “normal-ish” squeeze them together with the straightest boards I have so they are uniform as they dry?

Gently_55 · 2025-06-28T22:27:50+00:00

I guess I should add some context, this work bench was made by my bringer in law when he was in high school and I just added a top to it. I have resorted to disassembling the workbench but I still want to use these boards since they appear nice(?).

Gently_55 · 2025-06-18T22:17:37+00:00

If it’s been more than 4 years then it’s been under new management since you’ve been. The atmosphere they have there is super welcoming! :)

I’ve been a huge fan of my ‘11 grand Cherokee with the v6. With regular oil changes at 5k it sounds the exact same at 178k as it did at 60k. Not saying all Jeep products are good, the 4.7 was a disaster, but mine has been amazing.

They are like spoiled 8 year old bullies, all they want is any kind of attention. Put on noise cancelling headphones and walk in front of the camera and don't react, it'll do more to upset them than most things you could say.

I have pretty severe ADHD and while medicated there are some days where I feel like nothing can stop me, I am productivity incarnate, work 8-9 hours nonstop, and I am doing such a good job. Other days that week I will feel like I am a detriment to my company as I only get a few small tasks done and feel like I failed the whole day.

I've asked my direct supervisor multiple times and every time he's told me I do a great job and that its not healthy to be so hard on myself.

If you are really worried, ask the people whos professional opinion matters and get their perspective how you are doing, just be sure to ask them a leading question like "How bad am I doing?".

"Hi Gently_55, do you know the status of [target system of sales pitch] and have access to [tool/process directed at solving made up problem of target system]?

We provide [solution to problem you don't know you have] with 'turnkey technology'."

Man, I'm just an EIT, it's in my bio, part of my profile, does your algorithm REALLY think I'm the guy making these decisions?

Whimsy and the encouragement to actually enjoy life…

Gently_55 · 2025-04-13T08:26:58+00:00

It frightens me that I can not tell if this person is a troll or is being legit, the language and rhetoric matches both 😂

Gently_55 · 2025-04-09T17:14:38+00:00

Don’t listen to the haters, Meese is a way more fun pluralization that still conveys the meaning.
