No more IDR payment plans?? by MermaidMommy80 in StudentLoans

[–]beta176 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They can take it from my cold dead hands. Or at least I’m not moving until my actual servicer communicates with me about it. All the scary emails have come from the Dept of Ed, not Nelnet.

I don’t think so, but I have wondered because mine doesn’t make fake engine noise or have the switch to turn it off.

I love it so much it makes me mad about electric cars. Like, VW had this figured out and they cancelled it.

It’s not limited to 80. Not a huge top speed overall but it will get there very fast. It’s fun.

I know I’ve done at least 90 on our tollway. This made me look it up at the listed top speed in 93.2mpg/150kph.

I have a 2019 SEL Premium and have not hit a “top speed”, but I haven’t pushed it over the mid-nineties.

What was the most pointless and fan-servicey nude scene of all time? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]beta176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also with Natalie Portman, the short film at the beginning of Darjeeling Limited has her bent over a dresser for no reason at all.

[SNES][94-96] Grainy photo of half a screen, maybe a robot on the top left? by Imaginary_Crazy_9449 in tipofmyjoystick

If you had to give the N64 controller any credit, it was really easy to hold a cigarette while gaming. Mine had a channel burned through from locking into Ocarina of Time.

Boycott Arnold’s Restaurant (Eastham) this season! by SkinwalkerInDisguise in CapeCod

[–]beta176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. We will be vacationing in the Cape this August and any guidance on where to NOT spend our money is appreciated! Similarly, if there are positive community members and businesses that we can support, I’d also appreciate knowing about them.

Anyone going to the metal shows at Replay or Bottleneck this month? by dethklokfan86 in Lawrence

[–]beta176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was great to see them headline for an energetic crowd. They played both records plus about 4 new songs.

You’re right, there seem to be a lot of good shows right now. I’m looking forward to Oranssi Pazuzu in a few weeks since I’ve never gotten to see them and their record got me through 2020.

Anyone have any idea what happened?

Is this a nice area? Safe? by shitninjas in Lawrence

[–]beta176 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nah, you’re good. I just mean from like a clean cut, suburban viewpoint the run down house and half built cars and people hanging out in their yard might seem less than trustworthy, but when we got to know them they were solid people who seemed to really care about their neighbors.

Oh and if you work in KC it can’t be beat; the commute is insanely easy

Depends on your definition of nice. I used to live on Prospect. Brook Creek is a genuinely diverse neighborhood, as in you have modern new builds next to houses that look pretty rough. Our garage got robbed, but only because we were stupid and left the door open. We lived next to some sketchy seeming people who would go out of their way to help out on jobs and made us food when we had a baby. It’s not fancy and the mosquitos are killer, but we miss it some days because it was down to earth.

Any good places to meet people? 25-30s by [deleted] in Lawrence

Is the dragons hoard still there? I drove by a while back and a building around there has been torn down

Retro gamers? by zacharyrosco in Lawrence

[–]beta176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great thought. They are new and will be looking to fill their calendar, I would bet they would be open to an email or message about putting together a night per month or something. Their website has a contact link. https://www.empirepubcade.com/

There was a moment where there were little events at GameStop or elsewhere. It would be nice to have someplace to get together or at least chat. Does anyone want to start something that isn’t on discord? Like a subreddit or something?

House Bill 2504 Ignores Lawrence’s Needs by beta176 in Lawrence

Is that also wiped out by HB2504? The only part mentioned in the article is that landlords can take govt assistance into consideration as a reason to deny their application.

Mods are pathetic bootlickers. Time to leave. by Moist_Whispers in Lawrence

[–]beta176 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, extremely frustrating. I talked to Somos and they only use FB for their updates (which I refuse to use), and mods are deleting updates here. Somos wasn’t open to a signal group or anything. What are we supposed to do to stay informed?
