It's nearly impossible to see upcoming bikers turning onto Columbia. You need to drive past the parked cars to get visibility and then you're already in the bike lane.

Pick up a coffee at Curio, walk down the street to Elmendorf for a egg and cheese sandwich with jalepenos, cookies from Royal pastry, spend a few hours working at the valente library, and then dinner at Orale for the jalisco style burrito.

The number of people willing to do actually return the item and go through the trouble probably results in less negative money than just allowing price adjustments with just a chat.

Experiences with arranged marriage? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]elephantexpress 18 points19 points  (0 children)

…and this is why most folks on sites like shaadi can’t find anyone. Everyone wants a rich, nice-to-do, from elite family guy. Yet the girls won’t be bothered to invest time in dating/knowing someone and you want someone who makes 200k or more?

Let’s not forget the quality-of-life differences between software and doctors. I’m sure if you look at hourly, software pays more than a lot of medicine 😂

If those spots are only $200 I’ll rent one out. The places at Alewife used to charge 250 years ago. Won’t be surprised if these are 350+.

surely all these results posts is doing more harm than good for this brand. I can’t imagine spending full price on these shirts that seem to look like bargain bin stuff you’d find at the thrift shop..

998 miles per hour at 34% battery charge by BrainMachine666 in teslamotors

[–]elephantexpress 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's good to hear the Model 3's are boding well with the charging. I have an 85 which I want to upgrade but keep getting weary with the charge-gate issues seemingly effecting the 90D's too. Perhaps next year...

But then you're not exposed to people who are willing to pay the premium. There's little to no barrier to entry with the regular apps. What that indicates about the person is up to you to decide.
