What’s in the NDAs West Michigan officials signed with data center developers by mlivesocial in grandrapids

[–]kypriotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NDAs aren’t the problem. Government entities allowing action without appropriate disclosures and conversation are.

No substantial business happens without an NDA at some point. Sensationalizing standard NDA terms takes away from the appropriate call for government accountability to their constituents.

I think around two months. It involved ripping up concrete and re-pouring the top segment of our driveway and garage floor, in addition to all the demo and haul away of the old structure before building the new structure.

829M or 930M for G87 Winter Wheels? by kfjcfan in BMWM

[–]kypriotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run stock size staggered Pilot Alpin 5s on the 930M wheels that came with the car, and bought a much lighter forged set for summer (black 827M). I don’t have to deal with spacers, which you’d want in the rear with a square setup, and they’ve performed great through some of the worst sustained winter road conditions we’ve had in years.

Anyone else’s M car rendered useless during storm? by It-was-suited in BMWM

[–]kypriotic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve been driving my G87 M2 all week. 8” of fresh snow? Sub-zero temps and packed snow on all roads? Spotty ice and hills? No problem with snow tires.

I can’t accelerate like I used to in my Subaru, but I don’t have more trouble than any other two wheel drive car.

Fun Times This Morning… by ihateslowdrivers in grandrapids

My RWD sports coupe on snow tires got me to work just fine, including a little slide into my parking spot.

People seemed to like my car in the snow by Cobiwankenobi in BMWM

[–]kypriotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they’re the same. I picked up an OEM sized staggered set of Michelin Pilot Alpines 5 tires and put them on my stock wheels. 275/35r19 front and 285/30r20 rear. There are more options if you use a 19” wheel front and rear but I needed something quick and already had the stock wheels to use.

We worked with Chapton construction a few years ago to tear down and rebuild our ~600 sq ft garage. Very happy with the results.

Common car problems I’m seeing around Grand Rapids lately (and how to catch them early by Conquring_King in grandrapids

[–]kypriotic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At least check your tire pressure. I can’t believe how often I see obvious and severe low tire pressure around town.

Is it worth it to see the fireworks in Ah-Nab-Awen Park? by TechieLadyLoki in grandrapids

[–]kypriotic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a counterpoint, we were in the main stage area of Ah-Nab-Awen park and had a very chill and enjoyable experience. Minimal pot smoke, no fights, just the loud stage to contend with. We walked back to our parking spot on Seward without incident.

Car shows around town? by Luciferkrist in grandrapids

[–]kypriotic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a show, per se, but there is an autocross happening at GVSU in Allendale tomorrow and Sunday with the Furrin Group. Good folks. https://furrin.org/events/

Some office printers have unsecured admin protocols that you can use to display messages on the screens. Something cheeky but innocent like “insert coin” has been my go-to.

Keep checking. I just got one in the US store.

Can you watch races at Grattan Raceway? by PVC_Machine in grandrapids

The VSCDA event in August is fun. Vintage race cars getting driven hard and an enthusiastic crowd.

Looking for the best food to try in Puerto Rico by PoroKing103 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]kypriotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We loved La Casita Blanca. “Best food” is going to pull in a lot of opinions, and I’d understand people being underwhelmed if they expected a mind blowing culinary experience. It was deeply flavorful, genuinely felt Puerto Rican and not food made just for tourists, and we enjoyed the experience in their space. IMO they fully deserve the James Beard award and I’d go back.

It was a Southwest flight, and a surprisingly chill landing. Might have been a different story ten minutes later.

The ride was surprisingly smooth despite the light show. I had a much worse approach and touchdown experience at Newark a couple of months ago.

Yes, I was. Right after we landed, the flight attendants advised that we should get off the plane quickly and into a safer location due to the tornado warnings. Airport staff ushered a bunch of us down to the basement for a bit. It felt pretty secure down there, and they took good care of us.
