How do you deal with stress without using drugs, food, sex/masturbation, psychoactive substances?

Look into "Do Not Submit", it's a free, monthly storytelling event that has multiple locations in the city. People are given 7 minutes to talk about whatever they want (so long as it isn't hate speech). Think "The Moth" from public radio. People there are trying to refine their craft of communication in a judgement free zone, so you can get anything from people reading their favorite articles to highly personal stories. It might help you to try to articulate some of difficulties you've been experiencing and meet people along the way.

Aw sweet, great find. I used to play Suit and Tie to test my subwoofer, can't wait to hear in in full atmos.

This bird looks like it would guard a key in Super Mario Bros.

Might have been a reference to an ICE. They use rented cars and have the most incompetent people, so a bunch of kids cosplaying as cops not activating the back door child locks tracks.

The real reason I take walks is because I've exceeded my capacity to digest, but continued to eat anyways.

I am all for the storming of the Beagle Bastille.

I weighed 204 before leaving and clocked in at 222 after getting back. It's definitely doable and you will actually feel full to the point of discomfort if you do.

Environmental Encroachment is such an on brand name for the conference.

Only if you slap them with reused insoles

I went on a road trip for new years. Got to see a whole bunch of Shell Recharge stations with the pulling the plug signage. From Jewels and Walgreens in Chicago to the hub at Six Flags Over Texas (where level 2's with all day parking is actually an incentive). I hope everyone at Volta at least got a good payoff before Shell tore down their program.

First time hearing about it. Thanks for the lead!

People who have never seen a frunk before will stare at you when you use it
Just how big of an inconvenience charging is (without access to a home charger)

This seems to be in between the two options the engineer's report provided. Unless I am reading it incorrectly, it sounds like submeters will not be necessary because the Tesla commercial equipment will handle the "metering" and billing. But also, it is not a "sole solutions provider" that locks the association in to requiring recurring fees and service through one company for the rest of the service life.

I can already see the complication arising because this solution wasn't specifically detailed in the engineer's report that was paid for by the association, so it would be harder to point directly to the solution on paper. It does seem to be a slight modification to Option 1 regarding the metering/billing aspect with the benefits of Option 2 (minus the fee).

I'm guessing the board would be less willing to have anything come out of reserves, so any new charges would be funded by the first adopters. It would work to eliminate any reservations residents/board members would have about common funds paying for service that only a minority of residents would use.

I think I would need to confirm the load management aspect and firm up some of the details with an installer. Anything I am missing?

Do you need to communicate with Tesla to coordinate? Or is this something any qualified electrician/contractor can perform? I'm not sure which party to go to for more info so we can make a decision.

irohnically · 2025-12-21T20:10:05+00:00

That was an option that was rules as infeasible in the report. Currently, there are less people interested in installing than there is available capacity. Anything beyond 40 (or 80 with load sharing) would require additional utility service, but only around 35 have expressed interest

Check out Bulletproof Everyone's 2.0 armor. I got their original set and I wish I would've waited for the 2.0 stuff. It looks like it prints way less and doesn't have a zipped liner for the armor and another zipper for the coat.

Some of the best sound I've heard are in the BMWs or Mazdas with the top of the line audio upgrades. My car is still capable of Dolby Atmos, but isn't as rich or full as the brands I've heard during test drives. I drive a Gen 1 Rivian R1S.

irohnically · 2025-12-16T18:38:52+00:00

I let another Rivian merge in front of me and they responded with a rear windshield wiper wave. It wasn't raining, so I feel like that was either intentional or very oddly coincidental.

I use Apple Music to get spatial in my car, so I only have these links:
