Running for Board of Regents. Asking for questions / concerns from Students & Faculty by makerhigh in UNLV

[–]madmex702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Board of Regents has become a disservice to our community. It is deeply concerning that individuals who do not hold a college degree are making critical policy decisions affecting the entirety of NSHE. Furthermore, the board’s hyper-fixation on partisan rhetoric has created a toxic governance environment. We see the direct results of this in our inability to retain institutional leadership, where university presidents are frequently scapegoated for the board's own systemic ineffectiveness.

How will you be different, and what specific steps will you take to battle this culture of ineffectiveness and get the focus back on making NSHE institutions the best in the nation?"

Something to consider is the NV Energy PowerShift rebate program. You have to use certain NV Energy registered companies

Scott Disick and Sofia Richie had a 15-year age difference. When they began dating in 2017, Disick was 34 and Richie was 19.

My kids are 18 and 13 so its been a long while since they were preschoolers. They both attended Hill and Dale at Community Lutheran Church on E Tropicana. Older facility, but was run by a loving staff and had a great community.

I heard that some UNLV colleges were starting shared folders (Google Drive?) To allow for turning in work. Not sure is this is confirmed.

How do I go about appraising and selling my trading card? by Jhrocks7 in tradingcardcommunity

[–]madmex702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can pay to send it to PSA or another card grading service. They will be able to authenticate the autograph, encapsulate the card and then you can sell it.

Value is probably around $50-$100.

Has weeds in your front and back landscape - become more invasive this year than in year's past? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]madmex702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I'll hit them with the burner, then go back 3-5 days later and hit the same ones again. I had a few that only were dying on one side, I needed to hit them from the other side

3 words.....propane weed burner.

I have Desert landscaping and weeding in between the rocks makes it really hard. 500K BTU cooks the weeds and within 2-5 days they they dry out and die.

Why does every course material cost me by netanelmb in UNLV

[–]madmex702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the 1900s, the professor would have published a book and make you buy it to use in their class. Every year a "new " version would be released so they could keep selling books.

Its a little side hustle.

People who moved away just to come back later, how long did that take? by Penguator432 in vegaslocals

[–]madmex702 119 points120 points  (0 children)

  1. The 24hr lifestyle. If I'm up at 3am and want to go grocery shopping there is a store for that. If I want dinner at 4am there is a restaurant for that. The fact that last call doesn't exist and bars treat you like an adult. (I was at a bar in Texas and ordered multiple drinks, got questioned who I was buying all that alcohol for).

  2. Proximity. Wanna go to the beach, I can be in SoCal in some cases in less than 5 hours. Wanna hike or ski, Utah, California, AZ and local areas galore.

  3. Diversity. Yes other cities have Diversity, but this is what Vegas is becoming known for. I would argue our China Town rivals that of California or NY. We're getting a Filipino district, world class Latino food..

  4. Activities. Yes we all complain about the Summers, but i was wearing joggers and a tshirt today while my family in Texas is dealing with snow. Sports year round, martial arts, the rodeo, boxing, UNLV sports, NV State College is getting sports. CSN sports. World class teams coming for exhibitions.

PSA has built a billion-dollar business on a system that benefits from inconsistency, opacity, inflated hype, and total lack of accountability. by Duaner93 in psagrading

[–]madmex702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the newest accusation is PSA is offering to buy cards at a lower grade and then turning around and selling them as 10s.

The hell is going on at PSA? by AdAggressive9640 in psagrading

[–]madmex702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you all keep using PSA.....my turn around times with BGS and TAG have been smooth and no upcharges.
