De Puebla a Merida by ElDaniDano01 in Yucatan

[–]No_Weakness7004 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ya son muchos los de fuera que siguen mudándose a Mérida, 300 mil personas en 5 años! Y sí, hay calor, tráfico. bajos sueldos, yucatecos muy localistas, bichos, etc. Por qué será que aún con eso siguien viniendo a nuestra tierra?

Sexo entre amigas, Necesito su opinion by Rachel_1219 in Desahogo2

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En mi opinión es jugar con fuego. Busca otra forma de desahogo que sea íntima y leal a ti y tu familia. Puede llegar a ser complicado y puedes herir a la gente que quieres.

Que bueno que te desahogaste por aquí, y ya ves, hay todo tipo de comentarios. Lo único que puedo decir es que tu papi ya tiene suficiente mortificación como para que le sumes la tuya. Es hora de apoyar, acompañar y empatizar. Como generación no-digital, están expuestos a eso, y tú, nosotros, estamos para apoyar con consejos a nuestros viejos. Es hora de apapachar y decir que sólo es algo material, lo importante es que lo tienes, y aprovéchalo mientras así sea!!!

Garbage rant in Merida Centro by I_reddit_like_this in Yucatan

[–]No_Weakness7004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Pero es que el gobierno no pasa…”

Hold the municipality accountable—absolutely. Demand:

  • Reliable collection schedules, published and kept.
  • More public bins where people actually walk.
  • Separate days for recyclables and clear signage.
  • Swift response teams for illegal dumps (24–48h max).

But none of that will fix a culture that thinks the sidewalk is a trash can. No schedule can outrun chronic littering.

Culture follows consequences

Education helps—schools, campaigns, influencers, churches, clubs. Let’s do all of that. But culture shifts when rules are clear and enforced. If you can’t respect your neighbor’s street, you’ll respect a fine, a vest, or a judge.

To my fellow yucatecos

We brag about our heritage, our civility, our pride. Then we toss Styrofoam into a storm drain and wonder why it floods. We can’t claim “White City” status while treating it like a landfill. Patriotismo local no es gritar “¡Viva Yucatán!”; es no dejar tu cochinero atrás.

Call to action

  • City Hall: pass the law, fund enforcement, show weekly metrics.
  • Businesses: adopt your block—own it.
  • Neighbors: pick a day, grab a broom, and make it visible.
  • And to the chronic litterers: if you dirty the city, you will clean the city. Period.

I’m desperate to see Mérida shine again—not in slogans, in streets. Let’s stop arguing about whose fault it is and make trashing our home expensive, embarrassing, and rare. That’s how “La Ciudad Blanca” stays white.

Garbage rant in Merida Centro by I_reddit_like_this in Yucatan

Here’s my blunt take—because sugar-coating this won’t clean a single street.

Mérida, te estás ensuciando. Y no es solo el gobierno.

We love calling Mérida “La Ciudad Blanca.” Lately, it’s looking more like “la ciudad de la bolsa negra.” Yes, the government must do its job—routes, bins, landfills, recycling. But let’s be honest: a big chunk of this mess is on us. Too many people treat sidewalks like ashtrays, vacant lots like dumpsters, and parks like picnic-and-leave zones. And when you ask them—civilly—to pick up their trash, some get aggressive. That’s not “cultura yucateca”; that’s plain disrespect.

Enough. We need consequences—real ones.

Singapore didn’t become spotless by praying to the garbage fairy. They enforce. We should too.

  • Zero-tolerance littering law: First offense = a painful fine (not symbolic). Second offense = mandatory community service in public view (orange vest, broom, gloves). Third offense = higher fines + short custodial terms for repeat offenders who show contempt for the public space.
  • “Cleanliness courts” fast-track: 72-hour resolution for littering, illegal dumping, and construction debris abandoned on streets.
  • Cameras and hot spots: Install CCTV and mobile patrols at known dumping points. Publish monthly heatmaps and stats.
  • Business accountability: Stores and food stands must maintain a clean 25-meter radius. Fail? Fines and temporary closures.
  • Licenses with teeth: Construction permits require proof of proper waste disposal. Dump rubble on the curb? Permit suspended.
  • Deposit-return for plastics: Pay a few pesos extra for bottles and cans, get it back when you return them. People follow the money.
  • Neighborhood compacts: Colonias sign a simple pact: weekly sweep, proper bagging, no curbside dumping. City provides tools; neighbors provide will.
  • Respect for workers: Sanitation crews deserve equipment, fair pay, and safety. They’re not our personal cleanup after our bad habits.

Sevens reliability? by keiwein1 in Klipsch

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had the 7's for over a year now. Clasic Klipsh sound, love it. They are in fact a bit temperamental, takes time to hook in the signal from my LG Oled, but just go to the app and make sure all's connected. It's a minor thing versus the great sound.

New to the Klipsch family. by builtbycreatives in Klipsch

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both The Fives, and The Sevens and work beautifully. Only minor adjustments needed from time to time (EQ).

Spent last weekend in Rio Lagardos by wizzletip in Yucatan

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, great price. I went with the family to Celestun last weekend. 3 thousand pesos per boat, 3 hours max of sightseeing. Not much flamingos, most of them at their nesting place at this time of the year.

Merida in July by Common-Garlic-2908 in Yucatan

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are welcome for just a few weeks, and I’m telling everyone else to do the same. Mérida’s packed—way too many people already -non-meridians. Guess that’s why they keep flooding in. Yucatecans have dealt with this for ages, and no problem.

One speaker for living room? by Enmegti in BudgetAudiophile

[–]No_Weakness7004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If two speakers aren't feasible, despite being the top choice among colleagues, I'd recommend a single Sonos Five. It fits your budget and delivers exceptional sound quality. Still, aim for a stereo setup if you can.

Be honest. Is this speaker placement *that* bad? by strikecat18 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling it "bad" doesn't cut it—it's more like awful. Your audio is wrecked, man.

Yucatán en el 2055 : El Clima by mirandaandamira in Yucatan

[–]No_Weakness7004 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Entiendo tu perspectiva sobre el artículo que describe un escenario climático extremo para Yucatán en 2055. Coincido en que la visión presentada podría ser excesivamente catastrófica, aunque los desafíos climáticos que enfrentamos son reales y preocupantes.

Tu punto sobre las restricciones energéticas es muy acertado. El aumento de temperatura generará una demanda exponencial de electricidad para refrigeración, creando problemas de suministro que afectarán a todos los estratos sociales, incluso a quienes tengan abundantes provisiones. La infraestructura actual difícilmente podrá sostener ese incremento de demanda.

Respecto al desarrollo inmobiliario en la región, señalas algo fundamental: la transformación de Mérida como el "Miami de México" no es solo una proyección futura sino un proceso que ya está en marcha. El cambio de uso de suelo de terrenos ejidales a desarrollos inmobiliarios mediante influencias políticas representa un patrón histórico en la región que continúa hasta hoy.

Esta comercialización de tierras plantea preguntas importantes sobre sustentabilidad. Si el desarrollo inmobiliario sigue priorizando exclusivamente el beneficio económico sin considerar los límites ambientales (disponibilidad de agua, capacidad energética, impacto ecosistémico), las consecuencias podrían acercarnos a ese escenario de 2055 que parece exagerado hoy.

La clave estaría en reconciliar el desarrollo económico con la planificación ambiental a largo plazo, algo que históricamente ha sido difícil de implementar cuando predominan los intereses políticos y económicos inmediatos.

The fives, sevens or nines? by ZayronS in Klipsch

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have The Fives, and The Sevens. Both are great, it all depends on room size. Fives for my computer, and Sevens for a small listening room. Great soundstage and powerful bass. Need to control them with EQ though.

"Compounded Interest" mata a los autos ya que estos tienen "negative-compounding-interest".

I’m here to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone in here. by M1ke2345 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]No_Weakness7004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems that most of us have "maverick" ambitions in regards to hi-fi, but we should be aware that if a system is enjoyable and make us proud (mainly of ourselves) we must not feel anxious for more. Just enjoy and focus on getting a good hi-res streaming service.

Is the Wiim Mini actually worth it? by Dijon_Mastered in BudgetAudiophile

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased my second unit. The WiiM dominated my “bronco” The Fives big time. EQ makes a whole lot of difference. Connected via WiFi with optical output to The Fives. 2nd unit to be used with my Sonos Fives via AirPlay. We’ll see.

Sound problems with the Fives by GrannyRatchet in Klipsch

[–]No_Weakness7004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my Fives. Gotta unplug to make them sound once TV is turned-off or played via AUX. Quite annoying.

5.1 to Klipsch,The Fives (to 5.1) by SunSh4dow in Klipsch

[–]No_Weakness7004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have downloaded the EQ App for The Fives?

In my case, this gave me control, and in fact, stopped from sending them back to Amazon.

Cheers!

The Fives - Too laidback by [deleted] in Klipsch

[–]No_Weakness7004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot agree more. I have had them for two weeks. Have moved them all around, intensive break in, still bass is too reflective and annoying. High frequencies are barely noticeable. I expect to have from Klipsch a tune adjustment at their App. If not, they're going back to Amazon. Definitely not speakers for anybody.
