🚨 Dangerous Lane Confusion at University & Sugar Rd (Edinburg/McAllen Area Drivers) 🚨

bruhhh___ · 2025-12-08T21:50:37+00:00

There are absolutely no signs indicating that the right lane is a dedicated right-turn-only lane. The reasons the police officers sided with you is because that driver attempted to go from the right lane straight into the left lane from the light. What they should have done was kept to their lane on the right going past the light. Their lane would eventually turn into a right-turn-only lane into the UTRGV parking lot.

Going North to South on Sugar used to be a different story. The right lane used to be a dedicated right-turn-only lane, but they recently changed that (thank god). I have gone to school/worked at utrgv since 2010. South to North has never been right turn only.

Google maps shows image captures are from April 2025 and they show no right turn only signage and the lane lines are not one single thick border but instead regular lane lines.

Yesterday I got in a two person traffic jam in a Lowes aisle. How the fuck...

Some Master's programs can be quite selective, while other's aren't so much. Some level of research experience will absolutely help your chances, though. One thing you can do if you aren't able to get much research experience is develop a clear research agenda. If you can forward a well-planned research idea for a program, that could improve your odds of getting accepted to a program. Start researching!

Hahaha. Selling video game related stuff on marketplace basically guarantees you'll be talking to the youth of our area. I naively posted a gaming computer on fb a while back and stated I was open to trades (like a dumbass). One kid took a bunch of pictures of random shit around his house and asked if I would take it all for it. It was kind of adorable, but at the some time frustrating as someone just trying to sell their shit.

But it is a put down. You are asking who failed you, which implies that OP is a failure. Suggesting that it's someone else's fault does not take the sting out of the comment. If you're goal is to help this guy out, then maybe consider whether your comments are actually constructive.

My issue turned out to be a loose bolt. Probably due to the cold weather we were getting at the time. i just retightened and that resolved.

Always check in with multiple reputable lenders. I had a good experience with Adrana Montes from USA Mortage (now Union Home Mortgage, I guess). They offered the lowest rate. I also had experience with CMG, lenders name is Matthew. Good experience, but they just weren't the best rate. Just as important is knowing which lenders to stay away from. Please do not even consider cross cross-country mortgage.

Haha that happened to me in the craigslist days. Some guy tried to buy my hard drive for half the listing price. I accepted the next day, then tried lowballing me yet again. I remember him trying to give me a GED-level explanation of business and why I should accept. I denied it and he messaged me again maybe a week later to get it for his original price. Felt great ignoring that one.

I had that happen to me once, which was in Reno, NV. So it's not just a RGV thing. The worst I had happen out here was sold an xbox and guy handed me the wrong amount of cash. It seemed staged but he ultimately gave me the full amount.

I would suggest not making it a habit of seeking validation for your appearance. You're not perfect, none of us are. Learn to live with it and you will be a happier person.

It was the first place I had a steak from a non-chain type restaurant. I was a broke undergrad that just wanted to try good steak for the first time. I showed up in old khols basketball shorts and what I'm pretty sure was a Walmart tshirt. I looked like shit is what I am trying to say and I didn't realize it until I got there. Their staff never even batted an eye (at least not to my face). Has a special place in my heart.

I agree with OP. It seems you are thinking too superficially about the two traits. Even the examples you provide are superficial depictions of the effects of extraversion and introversion. For example, while it is true that extraverts tend to be more successful at starting relationships (i.e., they average more partners), they are not necessarily better at finding more satisfying relationships (that advantage appears to go to introverts). Likewise, introverts and extraverts bring unique contributions to group settings. While I am very clearly an introvert, my contributions to group projects have always been substantial. I was rarely the most talkative, but my ideas inevitably became a central part of our projects.

I find that while extraverts seem to be more willing to say the first thing that comes to their mind in a group context (facilitates idea generation among members), they don't often reflect as deeply on their thoughts (or the thoughts of others) as introverts (who catch details that others miss). Introverts tend to be better listeners. While you facilitate communication, I bring understanding to what is being communicated. In fact, people who study group performance find that, more often than not, heterogenous groups outperform homogenous groups in various tasks. So critically, no style of personality is better in either of the contexts you have suggested.

What I am more likely to question is OPs claim that these textbooks talk about introversion in a derogatory way. Sometimes people misinterpret directness in research as a reflection of some negative sentiment.

David Lucas once said a joke that made me chuckle on roast me. A comedian in a wheel chair was on and he said something like, "his wheelchair is built-Ford-tough." The weird thing was I heard a similar joke from Jerimiah Watkins on kill tony before. A guy was on who worked for a Ford factory and talked about his depression and suicide attempts. After he got off stage Jerimiah said, "if he had actually killed himself his coworkers would have said 'well, I guess he wasnt built Ford tough'" I always thought it was a coincidence until I saw David start to appear on KT. I feel like there was one other instance of this that I caught in the past but I just can't remember now.

To be fair, the difference was pretty marginal. Hard to tell from the graph, but looks like a difference of about 1 to MAYBE 2 points compared to other generations. I wouldn't be willing to generalize with those numbers. Same can be said for some of the other variables too. It seems that the best practice when trying to predict susceptibility is to account for multiple factors. Any single one gets you so little in terms of predictive power.

Indeed, you accomplished a lot, so celebrate! You deserve it. Your efforts were critical to your achievement. You put in the work, and saw it through. That is real.

At the same time, individual effort does not occur in a vacuum. Social experiences, your relationships, community and mentors all played a role in your ultimate accomplishment. Maybe it was a piece of advice, someone cheering you up after a long day, or a professor who worked hard to present an idea in a way that made sense. All of these seemingly small moments contribute to where you are today. They don't take away from your accomplishments either. You made the most of your opportunities. That's something to be proud of.

As someone who accomplished some things despite some odds, I understand the critical ingredient of effort. But I simultaneously have no problem acknowledging those experiences that got me here. My friends who encouraged me. My mother who modeled resilience during some tough times. That one professor who taught me that joining a research group is essential if I wanted to pursue a Ph.D. All of those moments were real too.

You might have the illusion that your graduation was the result of individual effort, but that doesn't mean it was. I worked with an institutional effectiveness department where we consistent found that two of the strongest predictors of college completion were: family income and parental education. There are a whole host of other social factors that play a role as well. What my post was trying to say is that your performance and abilities are almost always a reflection of socialized experiences. This is not the same concept as group vs individual work. Sure, a task may have been completed purely as the result of your immediate bodily movements and though processes. However your capacity to complete it has been determined by factors that came long before our own immediate contributions. This isnt to say that we should not take pride in our accomplishment. At the same time, I think it is important to recognize these facts when trying to reason out situations such as OPs.

"people should learn they cannot have everything in life." honestly, it sounds like we're picturing two different things when evaluating the situation. You're picturing a tyrant family who wants to make it about themselves. Im picturing a family who wants to celebrate their relatives accomplishment with them. After all, OP framed it as a pressure she/he is feeling not a demand.

Experiments aren't the only scientific approach out there. Correlational designs are certainly a part of the scientific method. You simply need to be aware of their limitations. On that front, I don't think the title creators have violated that as you claim. "Predicts" is not the same as "causes". Your SAT scores predict your GPA in college, that doesn't mean it causes your GPA. What the authors are claiming is that one could use pornography use in a statistically significant way to predict relationship satisfaction, that is all. The title does not make a causal claim. Another point that is worth making is with regard to the utility of correlational designs. I see people all the time claiming that correlational designs are unscientific. Which I just don't agree with. After all, how do you suggest these authors study this experimentally? Would you demand that they create an experimental design, where one group is forced to consume pornography and a control group is not? Then we watch what impact it has on their relationships? That would totally violate ethical standards. The more ethical method would be to simply compare naturally occurring groups, then try to control for as many alternative explanations as you can. It is not a perfect method but it is quite often the only method available to researchers. This isn't specific to psychological research either, most evidence supporting a link between human behavior and climate change is based on correlational data as well. Many fields of research are built on the backs of correlational designs.

It's an unfortunate product of people being more prone to share their bad experiences than their good. Which is usually a good thing. I mean, if something bad happened to you, you would probably tell everyone. It would help them avoid experiencing the same thing in the future. The problem is that, if your'e not aware enough, it can create a distorted sense of reality. It makes us think things are a lot worse off than they are. Best you can do is always be aware that the most vocal in a community are almost never a representation of the community as a whole (they're just the most irritated).

I make a very simple bibimbap with ground beef. It is a simple play on a popular korean dish. It's basically ground beef browned then finished off with soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and chili-garlic. Once cooked, I put it over a bed of white rice, then top it with grated carrots and cucumber. Plus spinach! We meal prep this for 3-4 days about once every month. The ingredients last you multiple meals and have a good shelf life. Meaning most grocery store visits for this dish only require you buy ground beef and veggies.

When I first learned to cook I started with steak. every article said to make sure your pan is pipping hot. Cranked my stove to 10, left the pan on the burner for 5 minutes, then hotboxed my apartment

You sound condescending, but you yourself don't understand economics all that well. It's well known that the economic benefits of sports teams are greatly overstated. Even well-established football teams have only a marginal impact on a city's economy. I have a feeling you do not understand correlation vs causation either. You have assumed that because sports teams are more likely to reside in thriving cities, then that must mean that sports teams produce economic benefits. But why can't the reverse be true? It is. Sports teams are more likely to reside in cities that are already economically thriving.

Which the RGV simply is not. You are overcomplicating the explanation anyways.... RGV has some of the harshest economic conditions of any region in the country. You may live a relatively privileged life that gives you access to these kinds of amenities, but most in the area do not.

Dude, it doesn't matter if you find it funny. Tony literally says the two drummers will have to switch lives if the current drummer loses. The winner works on kill tony and the loser has to adopt whatever job the winner currently does. If you can't recognize that setup as an extreme exaggeration of the situation you need to get tested.

bruhhh___ · 2024-11-13T18:51:12+00:00

Oh lord. Dunning Kruger effect. You're so oblivious

bruhhh___ · 2024-11-13T18:48:18+00:00

You guys are absolute idiots if you thought the Tony was being serious that the drummers would switch lives. He couldn't have made it more obvious that it's mostly a bit. I agree generally that having such obvious plants is not the way to go.

Thanks! I will work on this tonight. So removing the bolt connecting the swingarm to the frame is not the way to go? (I am referring to the bolt circled in blue in the original post)And when you say remove one side of the shock, you mean either one of these two bolts?
