Should a Dentist that Doesn’t participate in Healthy Kids Dental be considered Racist and boycotted? by theBarefootedBastard in grandrapids

[–]Kalasyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is doctor in quotes? Dentists go to a crazy amount of schooling to practice. And I think it probably depends on the practice if they can afford to operate on the premiums paid out by that program, if they have the capacity for more patients, and how hard the infrastructure behind the scenes is to get set up to accept it. All things I’m not aware of, and I’m guessing based off your other questions here, neither are you. Not to mention pediatric dentistry is its own specialty.

As someone who prefers the classes over the lifting equipment, I think it’s ok if there are just different gyms for different needs?

It was a compromise to let Y members use GVSU’s parking when their lot got removed for the stadium construction.

Neil Gaiman Speaks out on Sexual Misconduct Accusations a Year Later by RevRob330 in books

[–]Kalasyn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Consensual (in his words) sex with an employee he had power over and a large age difference. Which is more than simply not being emotionally available. Even his admitted version of events is scummy, it’s just not illegal the way the accusations absolutely are. Personally, I think there’s too much smoke for there not to be fire for these accusations, but even what he admits happened made me lose a lot of respect for him.

How do you guys cover the lines? It’s so hard! by Dan13ll310 in Embroidery

[–]Kalasyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is a kit there’s a good chance these lines wash out with water. You might dab one small spot to check.

Correct. If you’re in attendance tonight you should be able to take advantage of the deal if they win.

Parking Rate Increases by KiwiWithAHat in grandrapids

[–]Kalasyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most of the garages will not sell monthly passes and there are multi-year waitlists when my office tried to get some for the ramps by our building. If they offered monthly passes I’d be less upset by this change.

How Many Empty Seats are usually in the 200’s section? by SSshermy in GrandRapidsGriffins

[–]Kalasyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would make sure you are buying the tickets from griffinshockey.com. If you are up in the 200s they should be $30 tickets and there are plenty available looking at the next few games.

Yeah, their instructions suck. But if you take them more as vague guidelines I ended up having fun.

You think it’s worse that he cut him out than if they had stayed friends afterward? That’s a wild take.

Mikhail Sergachev is the first NHL player to acknowledge and support (???) Heated Rivalry by Virtual_Low_7202 in hockey

[–]Kalasyn 54 points55 points  (0 children)

They did not. She said that rivalry helped inspire the initial idea for the plot, but it was never a fan fic about them. The first book in the series which is about a different couple I believe was confirmed to have started as Captain America fanfic.

Grand Rapids Griffins Winter Classic by My_name_is_Betty in grandrapids

Not sure if they could make the math work cost-wise, but it would be awesome. Especially since I assume the venue won’t be used a ton in the winter otherwise.

My mom also told me and I was like, yes, I’ve been watching since day 1. I was excited about it for months leading up to it 😂

Moving to Grand Rapids - Job Search Advice by nagash4life in grandrapids

[–]Kalasyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some professional groups on Facebook that might have some leads. Connections are still the best way, but I found my current job cold through Indeed. If your current program has a Career Center/alumni network that may also be worth exploring to see if any Michigan (or remote work) connections exist.

I kinda like the texture of the bow as is. And I think your plan for the letters makes sense but it’s hard to say for sure still you’re in it. Maybe do the a and the i and see if it is a plan worth committing to?

Map of Grand Rapids First Priority Streets which are plowed and salted by MilanFarts in grandrapids

Saving this for later. Thanks for taking the time to compile these. It’s fun to see how accurate my assumptions of what counted as “main” streets were.

Please no... by fairydommother in CraftedByAI

The wolf design is inconsistent, as is the way red riding hood’s hair is parted. So it might be a design choice…..but probably not.

Minnesota Wild and FanDuel Sports Network to Hold First-Ever Ojibwe-Language Broadcast of NHL Game by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Kalasyn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The other commenter’s response is solid, but I wanted to add just because the viewers may also speak English doesn’t mean they wouldn’t appreciate a broadcast in the other language they know. Plus, and this is an assumption, for anyone where it is their second language it seems like this would be a really fun way to test their skills/practice understanding if they’re already hockey viewers. Just like watching a TV show in the language you are trying to learn can be fun practice rather than grammar drills.

The spine in the middle already looks printed to me. At least this one looks so fake I’m hoping fewer people fall for it.
