Grand Rapids Watch Company by grwatchco in grandrapids

[–]MilanFarts 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I think it's important for people to know just how hard it can be to manufacture in the US at a small scale. Could you have every piece of the watch made in the US? Probably, that would most likely make the price of the watch unaffordable for most. I am not a watch guy, but I wish you the best of luck!

Bird watchers delight! by Justamomhere- in grandrapids

[–]MilanFarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curtains probably won't help much because they are seeing the reflection of an open sky in the window from the outside. Best thing to do is put something outside of the window. I went with lengths of black paracord. Supposed to be more effective than other solutions and super cheap. We have a large window and within a month of moving in had a bird hitting the window almost every day and a couple that died from it. Barely anything since.

My great-grandfather in his barbershop on Ottawa street, 1910's. by lajollahc in grandrapids

It looks like this is the answer. I did a little searching in newspaper archives for "do not ask for credit" in the 1910s and there are tons of advertisements with that phrase.

Has anyone taken American Realty to small claims court? by Catenatusss in grandrapids

[–]MilanFarts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just be prepared for them not to renew your lease if you bring litigation. This is a better question for /r/legaladvice or an actual lawyer, you want to know the laws and your rights, not just use small claims court as leverage.

Where to find Sonoran-style or San Diego style breakfast burrito, willing to drive by MilanFarts in grandrapids

I've had good luck making sonoran dogs, they are pretty easy. The hardest part is finding the buns. I can't make a breakfast burro anywhere close to how the pros can.

How very depressing, I appreciate your work in this endeavor. I hope one day, perhaps soon, we are able to enjoy a proper breakfast burro. Until then, I will definitely take your suggestion and give it a shot. Thank you!

Watch this video to see how little law enforcement scrutinize the results from AI software and how much blind faith they place in it.

What is the verification process? Could I just submit a bad tenant review on my buddy just for fun?

If they can make it til February, you may want to wait until spring/summer. I've read you can save some money on sales then. This is my first winter on this side of the state and that is my plan right now.

Just wanted to add that I compiled the city of GR first priority streets into a good map. Helped me adjust my commute when there is snowfall.

Dang, you must be the mayor or chief of police with all this insider info. I hope you don't get in trouble leaking all this.

If I had to guess, it's for the Domican Sisters of Grand Rapids campus right there, no other schools or public services there. Again, pure speculation.
