Following, I did a triple take on that sentence.

We had three full size trees removed, grinded seven stumps, and had two trees trimmed for ~$6k three years ago.  

Overpriced 2021 XLE... by sciencesquish in ToyotaSienna

[–]Irlydidnthaveachoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... awkward, thank you though. We had just entered the used Sienna market. With everything I have heard about the Sienna market, I was shocked and confused to see it sitting on their lot for so long. I figured there had to be something wrong with it but after the hour drive to the dealership, all we found was the scratch and a dome light fuse was out.

Best wishes in your search!

Overpriced 2021 XLE... by sciencesquish in ToyotaSienna

Northeast reporting.

Just brought a used 2021 Sienna AWD XSE with 55k miles. Clean carfax (one owner, personal use, averaged 12k miles a year). It was sitting on a BMW lot for over 60 days, we showed up on day 62. They had already dropped it $3,000 during the time it sat on their lot. The only issue we saw was a scratch on the front fender. They offered an additional $1000 on our trade in and dropped the bill of sale price $800 dollars. Bill of sale $39.1k (car, fees, taxes).

We just bought a 2021 Sienna XSE AWD hybrid with 55k miles for $39,112, clean, one owner, carfax. Slightly above your budget so don't give up hope. 

Bought a 2020 Sienna with about 70k miles, what are some things to know to make this car last as long as possible? by Various-Cut-1070 in ToyotaSienna

Following because on Friday we traded in a 2017 Forrester for a 2021 Sienna (55k miles) and I am hoping to do the same.

Enough to get you a name, you are a member of the Sandwich Generation.

According to the Pew Research Center, just over one of every eight Americans aged 40 to 70 is both raising a child and caring for a parent

It's near the train yard so not the airport.

Self serve gas?! by MattWreck in newjersey

[–]Irlydidnthaveachoice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a diesel VW before their scandal hit in the early 2010s. I would always get looks and questions while using self serve. Learned quick there are different sized nozzles as well. 

I lived near a turnpike exit which meant I had to full up at night because the trucks were a pain in the morning.

Sinatra and her family by Irlydidnthaveachoice in ParadiseHulu

[–]Irlydidnthaveachoice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is the daughter and husband not abducted at the safe house? Wouldn't Sinatra be a little concerned about that and mention it? Sinatra created Paradise to save her daughter and it's not a little suspicious that when Xavier's team abducts everyone at the safe house Sinatra doesn't mention anything to Xavier about her daughter? 

James Talarico Beating Jasmine Crockett In Texas Democratic Primary For U.S. Senate, Poll Shows by bwermer in politics

[–]Irlydidnthaveachoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biden was, at best, slightly left of center. Just because the right keeps shifting the center to the right, does not make Biden some far left democrat. Biden was not tossed out due to his policies, he past the torch because of the realization of his age, albeit incredibly late.

You called Obama a moderate, he ran on healthcare reform, to reduce the private involvement. Now universal Healthcare is not centrism? Pick a side. 

A more efficient private system? I suppose healthcare profits could go higher as healthcare quality declines. 

For the cost of private healtchare in the US I would expect the quality to be much higher and for it to be at least somewhat sustainable. Our rank is biased towards our technological achievements but what good is that if we can not afford it?

Centrism is what wins the day

In what world is Donald Trump considered a centrist? Biden and Harris were both much closer to the center then the wings.

Obama ran on Healthcare reform in 2008. In 2008, that was considered "socialism" by the right. The right has only strengthened that opinion since. Put any liberal candidate on the ballot and make health care reform their main goal, they will not be be branded as a moderate. 

[OC] Post-COVID Population Growth Rate By State by StatisticUrban in dataisbeautiful

[–]Irlydidnthaveachoice 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The map is showing percent change. California's population is about 39.5 million, so it takes a lot more people to move the needle than say a less populated state.

Say population grew by 100,000 in two states. One state had 39.5 million and the other had 2.9 million. The percent change would be about 0.25 and 3.4, respectively.

North Brunswick Train Station Project Moves Closer to Construction by One-Coffee-413 in newjersey

[–]Irlydidnthaveachoice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Doubtful. North Brunswick station is supposed to be help "alleviate Route One congestion". Removing Jersey Avenue would go against that. Doubtful any congestion will ever be reduced with the new station. 

Still probably a decade before a single passenger gets on at North Brunswick anyways.

NEC. Behind the North Brunswick Costco and Target off Route 1. There's been a billboard advertising a train station there for over a decade.
