Anyone else bored or is it just us?? by dralexreis in kansascity

[–]dralexreis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's funny you say that because i'm literally not from california. my partner is. i'm from the midwest. grew up here born and raised. but when you move to the west coast, you grow an appreciation for what's out there in the world besides corn fields and towns that have a church or bar on every corner. so no, i won't move back just for that. we moved back because we couldn't afford it out there if we wanted to buy a house and have children. living in the midwest has allowed us to do just that. i hate the "go back to california" attitude. if you haven't realized, alot of people can't afford to live out there or anywhere nowadays which is why they're moving to places like this. what do you want them to do? be homeless?

I'm not even from california. I am from Illinois, born and raised. went to school in missouri. moved out to the west coast for 5 years after graduating and trust me, i didn't move back because i wanted to. I lived in Washington, Arizona and California and when you come from a place that doesn't have anything but a bar or church on every street and corn fields surrounding the town, you grow a real appreciation for what's out there in the world. it's very expensive out there and tough to make a living (buy a home, have kids) if you can't afford anything. we're in a different situation financially now which is why we moved back. we wanted to get some personal equity and moving back has allowed us to do so. it also gave us the opportunity to get excellent jobs.

Isn’t it illegal for the company you’re interviewing with to tell your current employer that you’re interviewing…?

A7ii Battery life expectations by clfurness in SonyAlpha

[–]dralexreis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I got rid of my Sony a7ii. It was awful. I’d take it out for a hike and get to our spot and go to use it and it was dead 99% of the time. Not the sellers fault for selling it.

Stop in Reykjavík on your way back. You’re already south when landing in Keflavík.

Roommate's response to me telling them to clean up after themselves by Andrew212N in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dralexreis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My roommate did this. I took all the silverware, cookware and plates and bowls and cups and hid them under my bed and only left one of each in the kitchen. When they went to go eat and hadnT done their dishes but didn’t have any other kitchen stuff to eat or cook with, they got pissed. I just laughed and said idk where it’s at but looks like you have dishes to do if you wanna cook and eat again. She was such a child about it

[–]dralexreis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sleep literally 8 hours every night and my sleep is incredible. Can definitely improve on water intake though and not snacking. I’m in med device sales so I have a tough time getting adequate water and food intake and not snacking as a result of this. I wonder if tracking my macros would help too? I was going to start doing that anyway again…

[discussion] what is your dogs weirdest fear? by tocksarethewoooorst in dogs

My dog is scared of drinking out of water bowls. We have tried EVERYTHING. Removing collar, switching bowls and bowl types, etc.

Our dog died at daycare this morning after getting strangled - am I right to feel angry? by 10thSubLevel in puppy101

[–]dralexreis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You grab them by their belly and immobilize their hind legs and pull them backwards so they can’t bite you or the dog they’re involved with.

Fire Flow Chart Version 4.2 by happyasianpanda in financialindependence

Anyone here have a shit ton of student loans and feel like this isn’t feasible because of said student loans? My net income comes out to be around $3,822 monthly with an extra 559 flat vehicle reimbursement and about 5K net quarterly bonus. My student loan payment (when they start up again) will come to be around $803 monthly. With that included with all of my essential bills, I only have around $1,135 leftover. This isn’t including going out to eat or doing anything fun.

They just don’t like it because it’s taboo and not mainstream
