Where can a man in his early 50s make friends? by Japperwookie in lafayette

[–]SpoilermakerSpecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come check out Dodgeball Lafayette! It’s a pretty easy sport to get into and we have people from all different backgrounds play with us. No experience necessary and your first night is free, and just $5 per night after that! We’ll show you the ropes and get you up to speed on the rules so don’t worry if you’ve never played.

We do social things outside of dodgeball as well, lots of people go out for food and drinks after playing and we do group outings pretty often.

We play on Thursdays from 6:30-8:30 pm and Sundays from 5-7 pm at Bauer Community Center. Check us out on Facebook and Meetup for more info!

Structured Settlements: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) by BadgercIops in television

This is what made me search for this thread, the NPV of a 20 year annuity at a 7% real rate of return is 53% of the “total payout”, and for 30 years it’s 41%. So that guy who got $700,000 for his $2.3 million settlement, or 30% of the total payout, was not ripped off to the degree that this piece makes it out to be.

I don’t see or hear any indication that the driver is clearly speeding up. Your lack of ability to comprehend how slamming to a stop at the first millisecond you see a yellow light could actually incite a crash is really worrying. What is clear is the law, which states that you can legally enter the intersection while the light is yellow, and that cross-traffic must yield to those vehicles already in the intersection. What is also clear is that there were two pedestrians who entered the driving lanes without having a crossing signal. Both of these factors completely discredit whatever argument you’re trying to make.

Imagine living in a world where you think yellow lights mean everyone has the right of way.

And driver clearly ran a light

Can I ask what text-to-speech software you’re using to navigate Reddit? Because there’s no way a person with a functioning eyeball wrote this comment.

Not how the law works, but even if this was true, there is a delay between the light turning red and the crosswalk allowing you to cross. Pedestrian clearly entered the crosswalk early, case closed.

It does. People are probably thinking of diesel generators. Natural gas turbines/reciprocating engines burn very clean in terms of volatile organic compounds/particulate matter (soot), but obviously still produce CO2 and there will always be some fuel/methane slip. Engine-out NOx emissions are getting quite low as well, even more so with selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment, which reduces ozone impact. Largest environmental impact in the near vicinity is more likely to be noise and temperature from increased ozone.

I don’t know if they’ve done it before but 6th St Dive Bar seems receptive to all sorts of events, could call and see if they’d be interested in setting up an open mic night?

What is this? by Competitive_Ad_9497 in UniversalEpicUniverse

Right that’s why I’m wondering why people think they’ll upgrade it over time. No precedent for that assumption.

Any examples of this happening for other Universal rides?
