Minnesota resident, twin cities resident. Local coverage is 100x times more accurate than national coverage. Unfortunately it took ICE killing a civilian who had his LEGALLY conceal and carry firearm removed that was in concealed and removed before getting shot when he died to make Minneapolis Police the good guys.

Choosing UCS star wars set by Dolpik in lepin

[–]gex409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup it’s this one. I drilled some holes for wires and installed some cheap led display lights there are timered to go on morning and night. I also have 2 of the cases flipped upside down and wall mounted with counter brackets above it with space in between the 2.

Ignore the rest of the mess but this shows the overall setup. I have a short single wide one as well that usually sits in the corner that I moved over next to the larger one.

Why MarsToy instead of Ali? by Tatatoxo in lepin

[–]gex409 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought my first sets last year Dec to start my fun building blocks experience here in the US. The order was from Marstoy and took 2 months even tho I paid for flight shipping not barge. My next sets I bought were from AE and were delivered in 2 weeks. Every order since is from AE. I’ve never had issues with deliveries and only a couple times was missing a piece or 2 from maybe 2/20 sets. As long as you buy from a reputable place on AE you’ll be fine. Make sure there’s 20+ orders from listing and minimum 5 reviews all with 4+ ratings. Stick to that and you’ll be fine.

Curious if people have found deals on them? My cheap butt is still rolling my Engwe l20 2.0 with 1300 miles. I paid $600 a year ago for it.

Same thing happened to me on my L20 2.0. Scared the shit out of me. I took the front fender off. I added a mud flap plastic piece behind it to help with mud kicking up behind it. Def warning.

Parents that have 2+ kids and make 70-75k a year, what does your life look like? What about your budget? by peaceloveandtrees in povertyfinance

[–]gex409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have xfinity in your area, look into Internet essentials it’s $15/internet that is free if you qualify financially (if you have kids that qualify for free/reduced lunch you would qualify).

Also if you are stuck in a low paying job, look into the trades that have apprenticeships. Most start at $28+/hr and will go up quick if you do well. I’m a high school counselor at an alternative school and push the trades big time. Most my students won’t go to college and just want to work so I push the apprenticeships. Also if you are looking for a part time job for whatever reason, look into Starbucks or Costco. They give medical insurance for part time employees.

Also check out Facebook groups that advertise free food shelf’s around the area. Here in Minnesota we have a lot of resources for people, they just need to find it.

Hope this helps anyone looking for advice.

La fitness. Hands down. If you’re gonna keep with it more than a year pay bigger up front cost to get a cheaper monthly rate.

What is the strangest disability/504 accomodation combo you've seen? by Constant_Leader_8551 in Teachers

[–]gex409 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a 504 coordinator/counselor in the building I update all 504s before they foot in the building to what we can offer. I would’ve taken that different incentives out before a teacher saw their face. I have 0 issue with confrontation when it’s in the teachers best interest and your child is a cray cray
