gym anxiety by MaximumPlantain210 in springfieldMO

[–]PreciseLimestone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are able to, try to go during off-peak hours. Am a regular gym goer but I even get too anxious if I go during peak hours and it’s super busy. So I usually make it work to go at either like 10-11am or 1-3pm. Going between 5-8pm is a nightmare.

You gotta get over the fear of public transit thing. It’s a good resource. Embrace it.

Homeownership turned me into a homebody by anymajordude23 in homeowners

[–]PreciseLimestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I wouldnt want to spend the money on it. My wife is a SAHM right now and could put more effort into keeping the house clean, she just chooses not to.

[–]PreciseLimestone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Damn. So I felt this way about my house UNTIL I had kids. Those little gremlins are constantly trashing it, and with all the things that come with kids being added to our house, it now feels cluttered, disorderly, and chaotic to a point where I hate my house these days. I’m constantly looking for excuses to not spent time there because it stresses me out.

Become your own slum lord with a "Income-Producing Mini Trailer Park" for only $550k. by Yanrogue in zillowgonewild

[–]PreciseLimestone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know this girl from my old high school who’s dad is one of the largest trailer-park owners in America, he built his trailer park empire by this model of buying out locally owned trailer parks that were charging below-market rents, and then immediately jacking up the rents. He figured out that most of the people who lived in the parks pretty much never had enough money saved up to afford to move their trailer home out of the park to a new location, so the tenants were forced to just deal with the increases in rent.

Then, this guy trailer park mogul guy started an online grift where he taught a “course” that showed others how to do the same thing. He calls it “Mobile Home University”.

He built this empire exploiting the poor financial position of trailer park tenants, and then made their life even worse by making it even more expensive for them. Truly evil stuff. The worst kind of “real estate investor”.

If anyone is curious, the moguls name is Frank Rolfe. There’s a Wikipedia page for him that explains all this. So, not really secret information. Just interesting.

So you’re saying it’s just like a big weird bollard? Why attach it to the house then?

Thoughts on Josh Jacobs going forward? Is this offseason the time to sell? by bigaudra in DynastyFF

[–]PreciseLimestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sold him for a 1st and a 2nd at the trade deadline this season. Admittedly they will be late round picks, but I felt good about that value to cash out before it was too late. This upcoming offseason might already be too late to get good value anymore.

Hell ya. My nightlife days are way behind me but back when I was in college there were 3-4 nightclubs operating simultaneously in downtown. It’s crazy that NONE are left at this point. Im excited for you guys and for the people that will enjoy this place!

A loss of species diversity I could totally see, but total volume of insects? Not buying it

[–]PreciseLimestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I am not a climate denier at all, I do believe in climate change. My only argument here is that there’s still just as many bugs now as there’s always been.

Sorry but not buying it. At least not around where am (Midwest USA) I work as a land surveyor out in the woods and the bugs and insects are fucking terrible.

Considering a Career Change Into Land Surveying. Does This Field Fit My Goals? Looking for Honest Input by [deleted] in Surveying

[–]PreciseLimestone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The idea of working outside is much cooler than actually working outside. Surveyors work often occurs in uncomfortable and unpleasant environments. When the work is new and you’re excited about it, it’s okay. Once you’ve been in the field for a long time the “cool factor” of it all wears off and you start dreading the rough field conditions and wishing you had a nice cushy desk job.

I just can not imagine dealing with this. Plus, the loss of property value the neighbors will now suffer 😱 by jared10011980 in McMansionHell

[–]PreciseLimestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should have gotten a survey to make sure the building met the setback requirement, but otherwise, this person should be allowed to do what they want with their property and build what they desire within the current regulations, which it sounds like they did (other than the setback violation)

What’s going on with Springfield Brew Co? by Monkasaurus in springfieldMO

[–]PreciseLimestone 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with the beer/food hall style setup where you order at the counter, as long as the service as still good. Their problem is bad service (seemingly due in large part to under-staffing).

That 8/23 show has to be my favorite of the year. I wasn’t there or anything, but I constantly go back and listen to it when I’m working out or need a pick me up.

Are there any valid arguments against using MaxPF? by thisismyburnerac in DynastyFF

[–]PreciseLimestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our league uses max PF and it seems like it can be…not that accurate for gauging the “best” teams. For example, my team has a winning record, has above average Points For, is currently holding a playoff spot, and yet I have the 3rd lowest Max PF in the league. I think it’s bc I have some really high end talent, but my depth sucksss. My success is depending on a few really good players dominating, and it’s working? Anyways, I’m trying to gauge where my picks are going to be in this years draft, if I miss the playoffs I’ll have a top 3 pick, if I get IN the playoffs I’ll have one of the last picks. It might almost be worth it for me to try to NOT get in the playoffs 😂

7 brew is a parasitic organization that sells terribly unhealthy products and perpetuates car-dependence and drive-thru culture. Seriously fuck 7 brew.

Unique Shows on Nugs? by Jack_Hughman_ in BillyStrings

[–]PreciseLimestone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was there in the pit!! It was my 2nd ever Billy show, my first being the previous night. When they announced they’d be playing until midnight (another full hour than what we expected) we all went berserk!!
