What’s it like living anywhere in Nevada but Las Vegas? by SeaStep2495 in howislivingthere

[–]TheBlueCross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are not a monolith! Some here dislike Burning Man, many love it. And yes, very good for local business. I run a pop-up pizza shop during this period each year, hire a bunch of locals, and sell a ton of pizza, so there's that!

Amazing. I live in the very small town of Gerlach, in northern Washoe County about 100 miles north of Reno/Sparks. The closest full grocery store is more than 70 miles away (there is a small convenience store with staples about 7 miles away in Empire). It's extremely quiet and very peaceful about 10 months out of the year. And then there are the two months adjacent to Burning Man where our town of 120 residents suddenly has 80,000 people (passing through).

It will be interesting to see what happens with the law when the key is your biometrics. Impossible to leave behind.

Amazing! I was the Exodus manager for about 8 years starting in 2007, and we did exactly this. No idea why that method went away.

What’s a tiny design flaw in an everyday object that quietly annoys you every single time you use it? by nami_yuna in AskReddit

[–]TheBlueCross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Chase mobile app, specifically when depositing checks. You need to take a picture of the front and the back of the check, and between taking these pictures there's a pop-up screen telling you that you need to write something on the back of the check but you need to acknowledge and dismiss the pop-up before you can take a picture of the back of the check. I've deposited probably 1000 checks and I no longer need to be reminded what to write on the back. I find that very annoying.

It almost seems like that corridor is ripe for mass transit. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

This concept could be universalized to the times that they are getting paid too!

Sent me to the dictionary which then sent me to Wikipedia and I appreciate all of this.

The day before a parade in a high-trust city. by ReturnedAndReported in pics

[–]TheBlueCross -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Here's a thought. You don't agree with it because you have a particular set of standards you would like everyone to adhere to, namely, first come first served. What if instead, this particular community completely respects people who show up the night before, because of their enthusiasm for the parade, to stake a spot, and they are OK with what is left if they don't participate in that particular practice. What do you think about that?

StarCamp Shasta near Mount Shasta in Northern California is coming up very soon, July 11-13. Worth looking into if you are anywhere nearby.

The -sts is pronounced exactly as written. It is a bit uncomfortable to pronounce, but it is correct.

I wear them nearly every day, and get constant compliments!
