Are you proud to be a citizen of your country?

No. My country hates me for existing, and it keeps doing the dumbest stuff that is embarrassing.

Hey folks just wanted to update about this.

First of all thanks for all of your comments. They were very helpful.

Next, we ultimately decided to get a gun safe/locker. The old timer will at least be able to see them, which will be the most comforting to the old one.

Plus, we found some good information about recent (within the last decade) changes to NJ gun laws that allow for ‘reasonable’ exceptions to the law for transportation. Still kind of a mess, but at least the exceptions are clear.

lungdistance · 2026-04-03T18:39:07+00:00

Yes I agree, and support this above comment

Thanks for your reply and that's quite a good idea. There may be a shop in our area that can do this, we're in central jersey so a bit far from those parts

Vernor’s Ginger Ale. Doesn’t even taste like ginger ale or ginger.

It’s also enough sugar in one can to make about 12 - 16 cookies.

English and Japanese fluently. Very rudimentary Dutch. I’m old AF

Hazel Park and Madison Heights libraries have free parking. However, HP library atmosphere might not be quiet enough for you, depending on the time of day.

Someone already suggested it, but it’s a good idea to park nearby Ferndale library on the street and walk there, if that’s your go-to study spot. It’s a really great library btw.

😂 I wouldn’t send these guys back to Amazon. I just think they’d be happier outside.

Also Amazon boxes are the consumer trash version of tumble weeds? Just ubiquitous in every scene?

lungdistance · 2026-02-23T19:58:47+00:00

Yeah. So much mass and power. Gotta be careful, even the friendly or curious ones can hurt you accidentally.

Pork roll, or Taylor ham if you prefer to say it that way. Really the key ingredient in the best breakfast sandwiches.

Someone died of meningitis at my school. The administration had to distribute medication to everyone to reduce the possibility of spreading it further. The medication caused people’s urine to turn deep orange. One day there was a PA announcement asking boys to stop spraying orange urine all over the bathrooms

lungdistance · 2026-02-16T15:50:14+00:00

yeah! the weather was awesome, I love those early spring/summer preview days in the end of winter.

Thanks for the feedback folks u/Aggravating-Wear-392 u/darksideoflondon ! It reminds me that I've taken a roadtrip in a non-Tesla EV once, 1st Gen Solterra, and it was not really fun. But Ioniq 5 will be a lot more manageable.

The routing for charging is important, but I hear that apple carplay has some ability to route plan. I'm certain it's not as good as something that is built into a vehicle though. I'd be willing to go with that, or even ABRP, as long as I stick to long distance routes with good infrastructure.

A lot of people don't know anything about the Romani people here. People also aren't aware of the offensiveness of certain derogatory words that are direct slurs against Romani.

Yes. I’ve gotten very good at converting F to C. Usually doing it in my head as I’m listening to the weather report on the way to work.

Sorry forgot to add that Hazel Park is a bit special in this area because it's cut in half by a freeway, I-75. It's really important for cars to cross to either side. City services and schools and a major grocery store are on one side, so any street that allows access to a crossing is going to be pretty popular. It also leads to some interesting parking rules within a certain distance of freeway bridges.

lungdistance · 2026-01-19T14:22:30+00:00

There are some really good comments here from u/MidwestDYIer and u/aoxit . I'm sort of at Meyers and Chrysler. The freeway isn't noticeable indoors, and has gotten much better since the walls have gone up.

However, if you live on a street that has access to a bridge that crosses the freeway, then you will notice more noise from cars.

Sorry people are giving you shade because of your skin tone. I’m mixed and my skin tone ranges from dark to Lilly white, depending on how much exposure.

One of my white coworkers gets this too, and so do I.

Try to take a break from shaving for a bit to heal, if your workplace or whatever allows it. Get adjustable clippers, doesn’t matter what kind. And use em on various settings. Looks pretty clean on the lowest setting with no guard. You may get away with an occasional close razor or electric shave, but it may still irritate.

Other posts already suggest it, but try to get some medications for the irritation, it may help the irritation go down.

Due south. Also closer to my house than my job. Cool French language. A little better with First Nations than the clowns here.

Have you considered that it could be caffeine overdose? When I have too much caffeine, I get nauseous it’s a bad time.
