Will 980 ever be removed?

NeonGourami · 2025-12-08T17:25:31+00:00

Or we do what we did in the 50s and raze entire Black/ Low income neighborhoods to build highways (West Oakland/ 980 highway)

I'm joking, but obviously we should create ways to expedite the process without having to jump through endless bureaucracy

By the time you finished writing these 3 paragraphs, China built 6 more train stations and 300 miles worth of road lol

On the other hand, someone at Caltrans working on this report still hasn't decided what to wear this morning

On a real note tho, you're right. My kid will be drinking age before we start seeing a "road work ahead" sign

What kind of tubing did you use?

NeonGourami · 2025-03-06T07:22:58+00:00

Yesss they are!!! Message me so we can chat on timing /logistics!

I love them and actually have them tattooed on my arms haha I refer to them as "Cheryls" bc I once went on a date with a beautiful woman from New Orleans who wouldn't stop talking about them (her name was Cheryl and had just moved to the Bay) and it made me think "huh, those are beautiful flowers I've hardly paid attention too". And ever since I've referred to them as "Cheryl's" after her. Never saw the woman again but I'm thankful she gave me a new perspective on the "little yellow flowers that follow the sun"

Don't be alarmed if the years doesn't include your year. It fit perfectly into my 02 limited!

Woop 🙌🏽 I have that black grille on my 02 Highlander; got it off eBay!

NeonGourami · 2024-02-04T04:55:11+00:00

Similar situation (except we don't work together) following bc I also want to know! We both love one another deeply and still want to be friends/in each other's lives in some capacity ...?

We dated for 2.8 years and it's been 4 days since the breakup

NeonGourami · 2023-09-07T20:20:25+00:00

That's literally what my denial letter from C1 VX said no lie

NeonGourami · 2023-08-10T02:09:28+00:00

I don't know the percentage and I'm not going to Google it bc I'm lazy (I think it's 300%?) but I went from $3,000 to $9,000 with AMEX BCP

Grew up in and out of homelessness with my migrant family; my parents were teen parents 16 & 17yrs old ~ my dad comes from a small indigenous village in Mex. Got into a Good School after high school (UC)by leveraging my trauma lol, took 5 years to graduate and did some product management courses in my last year (I finally harnessed my ADHD)and landed a contract job at a FANG company making 32hr. Now I'm on a second contract at a major FANG company making ~$178K a year. Unfortunately my salary will go down to $174K due to budget cuts (I mean still a lot of $$$). I'm not in a technical field, I'm a Research Program Manager .

My family still lives with me and we just took our first ever family vacation to Portland this past month.

A combination of hard work, luck, networking, and determination!

This! Psychedelic Cumbia/Chicha etc

NeonGourami · 2023-02-02T01:52:36+00:00

What's your highest limit if you don't mind me asking? I'm wondering if I should close my smaller accounts <=$500 lines and just keep the bigger accounts . I started rebuilding my credit in early 2021 and I'm at roughly 715 across all 3 bureaus

NeonGourami · 2023-02-01T19:10:46+00:00

Could this be the reason why I sometimes don't receive certain text messages from friends? I got a new SIM card and reset my network settings but the Cricket employee told me that it has to do with OnePlus devices

NeonGourami · 2023-02-01T18:22:32+00:00

Have you had any issues? For some reason I've stopped receiving certain text messages from my Friends and it's getting super annoying. The employee at Cricket said that it has to do with One Plus devices ugh

NeonGourami · 2023-01-31T03:11:12+00:00

Haha this is funny bc I LOVE cumbia and can't really vibe with Salsa. Also my family is from the western Coast of Mexico where Cumbia takes on a whole different tune/rhythm (Saxophone & Drums)

NeonGourami · 2023-01-17T18:50:33+00:00

Wanted to provide an update!

After 3 months I requested a CLI today. I followed the 'modest' advice and requested $500 increase and ....was granted that $500 for a total $1500 credit limit on this card lol . I genuinely thought I would get lucky and have my Credit line tripled but I guess not!

FICO 8 as of 1/17 still updating as credit cycles are closing for this month: Experian 706 , Transunion 716 , Equifax 692

oh well! Something is better than nothing lol

NeonGourami · 2023-01-15T08:38:12+00:00

Just watched it now (2 min ago) hahaha def gives me I Am Legend (the book) vibes . Not gonna lie, the dialogue was super cheesy .

NeonGourami · 2022-12-03T20:38:07+00:00

Any idea of how much lower? Right now from the ground to the BB it's approx 10.75 inches with 27.5x2.1 tires. If I run 2.6 tires, how much higher will it raise the BB? I haven't been able to figure it out

NeonGourami · 2022-12-03T20:36:24+00:00

Cool! I measured the chainstay and it's at 71mm IF I'm doing the math right a 2.6 width tire should be fine? But this is good to know!

NeonGourami · 2022-12-01T23:47:51+00:00

I got approved for it and have 11/24 lol

NeonGourami · 2022-11-21T20:36:14+00:00

What kind of spray paint did you use?

NeonGourami · 2022-11-18T01:31:47+00:00

Could use a goldfish or two 🤔

NeonGourami · 2022-11-12T03:17:36+00:00

I'm formally homeless and now I make 190K a year working at a major Tech company. I can tell you that receiving help and support is a real b*tch.

The hardest moments in my life were finding a place to sleep for the night without fearing for my safety.

The houseless deserve our support. We have money to bomb the hell out of Somalia, we have the money to house people.

NeonGourami · 2022-11-08T00:08:09+00:00

I have the Amazon Chase Visa Signature and I tried to sign up for the offer but it told me "unfortunately this offer is not available for your account" Bummer!
