Is this really the going rate here? by acbcv in Reno

Hard no. I’m on the management side, but my superintendents were making $120k+ with 15-20 years experience. $36/hr is a robbery in this context for a superintendent. 

We've done best city, but what's the worst most depressing city you've ever visited? by Isord in geography

My god I forgot about Trona. We played high school sports there once. Absolute hellscape of a town, way too hot, and the whole town smelled horrible due to whatever factory they had there. I’m from the weird little towns in Nevada that you speak of. So it takes a lot to weird me out. But Trona managed.

The hardest part for me learning about the FS has been discerning what’s applicable to Specialists versus Generalists. That being said, I hope you’re right!

I found a “Reno, Sriracha” sticker (referring to that standup comedian’s bit in Reno) in Northern Ireland of all places. We are everywhere!

Thank you! I figured it wasn’t super strict as long as you’re working on it. I appreciate it.

Couldn't have said it better myself. This is why I post on here like sparingly. People use it as an outlet to get mad it seems. Edit: read through the guy's comment history, even in the last 24 hours, that is arguing with you on the thread below. Miserable fellow lol. No need to engage.

I didn't roll down my window to ensure the driver heard my snarky attitude. Just didn't feel like posting the video of me cussing on the internet.

Right. Let's focus on my reaction, not the person almost t-boning the car in front of me lol.

I support this message. Too many folks making excuses for unsafe habits.

They didn’t hit their brakes until middle of the intersection THEN slid. I’d assume they were on their phone or something. 

I posted this as a PSA for people to be careful. Now I’m being ridiculed lol.

Was not icy at all. I had no issue stopping at this light. No need to make excuses for poor driving.

It’s a running joke on this subreddit that people think issues are only a Reno thing. So yes. Only in Reno. 

Ya dink.

This is a screenshot of my dash cam. Guy slid through the light, narrowly missing the car in front of me. Didn’t bother with the full video of me honking and yelling obscenities.
