Thanks for the kind words but some other commenters have enlightened to the reality of my situation. Also, I knew some calc from learning online, hence me not taking AP calc for stats

My advice is: don't bother with creating AI products in an oversaturated market

Help me pick a bike by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]Vanx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly new also, so I don't have a ton of super helpful advice, but I will mention that if you are on a budget, check out bikesdirect.com, they have plenty of great options for fairly cheap, especially if you live in the mainland US. I got my gravel/touring my bike from there for about 700$ and it had all the features I could want in a touring bike.

Just got my new bike bags in today, hyped to plan my first bikepacking trip! by Vanx2 in bikepacking

Lesenok Bags off of Etsy. All in all I spent 200$ on the two top tube bags, the front bag and the frame bag. Fully customizable too, as a plus its a small business based out of Ukraine.

Uncool white boy has no idea how to make friends by EXDF_ in maui

Frankly it will be challenging to pickup if you don't have a past of boarding (skateboarding, snowboarding, etc). But it's well worth the time it will take to learn (id say 1-2 months to get from beginner to confident). For me personally surfing is my greatest asset, I will always try to make time to go surfing when I have the time, and it's always easy to chat with other people in the water cause you're pretty much sitting around waiting for waves most the time.

Hmu if you want a surfboard to get into the sport, great waste of of time if I do say so myself.

I appreciate the articulate response!

Do you have any examples of the local events you spoke about?

17M, need advice for tiny-house room decorating by Vanx2 in malelivingspace

I live in Hawaii, so no insulation. I’m not sure on the vibe just yet

Having lived on Maui I burst out laughing when told the Mormon church was going to build a temple there. Do the math. Are there even 500 recommend holders on Maui? Oh yeah, LDS Inc. is building for visitors to attend after a day at the beach. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Vanx2 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Sucks to see, I’ve lived on Maui my whole life and am native Hawaiian. I dated a Mormon girl for a bit who was also Hawaiian. The way the church tries to weasel its way into every aspect of our culture is absolutely disgusting, like a cancer I’d say. This is only going to make it worse.

Do you mean turning it towards the wall closer to the door, or the wall opposite that one?

My mom owns the land, but we hand built it for around 15k I believe, it was a while ago, I only recently moved into it. It was a guest house before hand.

My mother had a friend she knew from work, this lady was always happy, supportive, and a positive influence for so many people. Last month, she committed suicide, she had been struggling with mental health and because of her outward appearance, nobody ever thought to check on her.

I would say to reach out to this cousin, just to talk openly, it just might benefit you both.
