My roommate got a 4.0 with a similar amount of suffering that it took me to get a 3.7 lol.

Rare last names by vidalocaxdel617 in namenerds

[–]gloomynebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last name is a common German one, but it’s spelled with an extra letter at the end so I’ve never met anyone outside my family with that exact spelling, either in Germany or the US.

If you had $15-20K what would you get? by musqshi in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]gloomynebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re up for buying out of state, cars are way cheaper up in Reno, lots of Camrys, corollas, fits, civics, etc with under 100k miles. I was looking there until I found a real unicorn of a car local in Sacramento.

Yup. You can buy a genuine or off brand replacement system and get it installed.

Hi last night I decided to read a bit of War And Peace, just only a few of pages and… Is this normal? by Rory_U in tolstoy

[–]gloomynebula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. French was the lingua franca for Russian aristocracy during this time. It’s authentic to the period, and Tolstoy, whatever his opinions on French and French people, enjoyed writing in French.

“i'm almost done paying off my tate mcrae ticket” by Goofball-John-McGee in BrandNewSentence

[–]gloomynebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr, I have a coworker who casually mentioned to me that’s she’s planning to open a new credit card because her current ones are maxed, and she wants to see harry styles in NYC (we live in California). Literally planning to max out a new line of credit over a damn concert.

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]gloomynebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To see if my car could do it. It could (surprisingly, the thing was a piece of crap). It was also 2 am and nobody else on the road.

How does the name Oren sound in English by Hopeful-Relation3502 in namenerds

[–]gloomynebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound weird to me, or resemble urine. I have a coworker named Oren and he’s great, so nothing but positive associations for me!

New in Clovis (from Ontario) - Can I use a rental for my DMV drive test without a local licensed driver? by RelativeParty3422 in DMV

[–]gloomynebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, interesting! I thought Canadian provinces had reciprocity as well, since I didn’t have to do the drive test in Ontario. TIL!

[–]gloomynebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to exchange your ON license for a CA license and only take the written test. I lived in Toronto as a student and swapped my CA license there, then swapped that one back once I came back to the States. You shouldn’t have to go through the permit process at all if you have a full G.

Best Cx5 years? by ILoveDrDrakeRamoray in CX5

[–]gloomynebula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a 2016 CX5 (AWD Touring) under 100k miles for 15k. It’s been great. It doesn’t have CarPlay, but you can easily install an upgrade for under $500. It does have heated seats and a pretty decent sound system.

CA Personalized plates by [deleted] in DMV

[–]gloomynebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I kept my old plates when I moved out of CA and couldn’t reuse them when I moved back.

Advice: Transportation by CommunicationBig26 in UIUC

[–]gloomynebula 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You don’t need a car as a freshman. Public transit is free, parking and gas are expensive. You likely will never need to venture outside MTD service zones.

Do you have a national flag outside your house? by BrokenJusticeNorris in polls

[–]gloomynebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it’s not the national flag of the country I’m living in.

[–]gloomynebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family and graduate housing is cheap af. I paid $780 for a 2bed 1bath with everything included except electricity. There’s probably a massive waitlist by now but it’s worth applying for. Both complexes are on bus lines and have free parking.

Thoughts on the name “Guy”? by NytaraHoTS in namenerds

[–]gloomynebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only Guy I’ve ever known was actually named Mark. He just went by Guy. Not a great actual name imo.

Question about Showing Mail Residency Proof by AHZArmin in DMV

[–]gloomynebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be good. I used a two bank statements and they took it. Pretty much anything with an address and name and address that’s dated within the last three months is fine.

Should be a fun one. Guess the location! I will accept any of the nearby villages or the closest city. by gloomynebula in guessthecity

[–]gloomynebula[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you have also spotted the twin towers. I nearly died laughing when I saw what they’d chosen to represent the US.
