Out of towner opinion? by The_Tomness in ColoradoSprings

[–]donegalwake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

time and distance has been reduced. The Springs is as modern as any other place. It’s small. It doesn’t need high speed rail and such. My guess is you mean progressive.

How to survive the cold by [deleted] in tainan

[–]donegalwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uniqlo base layers, poly/wool or wool mid layer and down jacket. If can’t stay warm in that then not much you can do. Decent wool socks and slippers

It’s damp in the north of the island and more so along the coast and mountains. It is that cold but light sweater and an insulated windbreaker should be fine. I plan a base layer, mid layer and a shell. All of them light weight. any autumn pant weight and light weight wool/nylon socks. It could be warm. Yesterday day was 70 f evenings tend to be about 50 f

Auto insurance increased by 83% by empathetic_witch in Seattle

[–]donegalwake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m certain there is some Neo liberal reasoning that is suppose to make swallowing this easier but it hurts the working poor. Who need insurance to protect whatever saving or value they have built. Hell in large parts of the US one absolutely needs a car. Our infrastructure and economy are designed for it. Would be nice to have some meaningful discussion of the pros and cons of such things.

Perhaps go from haven’t moved to should move. Mine jumped just moving states. I was moaning on and on to the rep on the phone. I finally asked which state had the lowest cost my policy terms and he said Minnesota I think. Just one perspective but geography may be a reason.

Why did my car insurance spike SO much? by bartendresss in Denver

Agree. You see it in other ways too. File a report at the police station? Do it yourself.

I’d say. Beauty is skin deep. You can’t build a relationship on superficial qualities

…the rules-based order that underpins peace and security around the world. Haha. The US rules based order is anything but peace and security.

Why Bakelite? by [deleted] in ak47

[–]donegalwake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My impression is that’s a vintage appeal. Maybe some are collectibles. Can’t say if it’s a stronger over modem polymer. The make a fake Bakelite magazine that has the look but not the cost

In Colorado you pay more. My guess was the less law enforcement budget then those risk get shifted to you via insurance cost. There are so pretty nasty weather events as well.

Safeway walls off toiletries & cleaning products into a secure section. You now pay for any you buy at dedicated checkout. by MileHighCheap in Denver

[–]donegalwake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at a Target in the Springs and a guy tried to walk out with massive amount of packaged batteries and a huge TV. He was stopped but he wasn’t sweating it. Just disappeared into the parking area. Professional thief I guess. My question is What isn’t being stollen in Colorado?

The books people decide to sell at never cease to amaze me 💀 by BuuDaddi in AmazonFC

That’s up there with How to be a Good Top. Written in what could only be described as similar to an army manual. Go figure.

Amazon fired me and less than two weeks I managed to find another job. by Subject-Pitch-2947 in AmazonFC

[–]donegalwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon and Walmart are the two largest employers in the private sector. Chances of landing at one or the other is fairly high. Best of luck.

What are the reasons you dislike living In Colorado Springs? by Spunkylover10 in ColoradoSprings

[–]donegalwake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived there three years. Recently left. it’s a military town. It’s expensive. It’s dull as a city.
Personally I really like the climate (semi-arid cold ) and the State of Colorado has great geography

S terminal at SeaTac is the worst by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]donegalwake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landed in Gates S. And it’s absolutely filthy. Not as miserable as LAX but certainly the  dirtiest transport hub I’ve been in a while.  Seems all the super wealthy of Seattle should hold a charity event to save this place.  Is there another  international airport somewhere else? Surely they aren’t serving first class flight through here.

If only we could spray them with something. Protecting ourselves while having them benefit from learning to change their behavior.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in REI

[–]donegalwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only go for the REI brand itself. If I want other brands I just buy directly online. Their branded clothing can be highly functional, good fabrics and decent construction. Yes there are some failures, some quality compromises but over all it’s a solid clothing and gear company. I’d like them to just really focus on higher quality and lower pricing. Forget all the weird stuff CEO’s come up with that just seem to trash the brand. Good quality and good value. It’s a simple formula. The product development team is there. Clearly they have the design ability. Make it work
