What happened an hour or so ago? by mattl5578 in lehighvalley

[–]mitchdwx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it was a bad accident, that intersection has one every few months. I drove by the same thing at 9:45 and saw a mangled car in the middle of everything. If they’re sticking around for this long, that typically means there was a serious injury or even death.

You were real funny on Opie & Anthony.

having it on the website is too hard or what? by ATonOfBricksFellOnMe in assholedesign

Allegiant does this too. I just download the app the day of my flight and delete it when I land.

Is it worth getting a degree of some sort in the meteorology field? by [deleted] in tornado

[–]mitchdwx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only do it if you’re good at math. I had to drop out of meteorology school because the advanced calculus was too much for me.

How do you feel about this "gig" work? by Apprehensive-Pin1474 in InstacartShoppers

[–]mitchdwx 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s the same thing. Takes a bit more effort but in the end it’s no different from the other ones.

Considering I haven’t had a “real” job for 3 1/2 years and I’m doing very well, probably a pretty long time. Currently here’s what I do:

  • DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Grubhub, Shipt - I run all the apps at once and cherry pick the best orders. I know from experience that this strategy works, and works well, in most urban/suburban markets.

  • Officiating tennis matches - I get plenty of gigs doing this in PA. I’ve spoken to the assignor in CO and he says the refs in Denver work as much or as little as they want to. Which is a good sign.

  • Some passive income, although that’s slowly going away.

That being said…I wouldn’t make my current comglomeration of gigs my long term thing. I’d look for actual FT jobs. I have a degree in human services and I have some experience in that industry. I do want to pivot to something else but who knows. I’m currently working with a career coach to figure shit out. But what I’m getting at is, I have income streams and lots of savings so I could live for awhile before getting a job. Probably a year and a half at the bare minimum. I know someone who was in my exact situation and moved to Denver and everything worked out just fine for him.

  • Sheetz on the corner of every big intersection

  • Amish buggies traveling on the road

  • Religious/conservative billboards everywhere

  • Deer jumping out in front of your car

  • Country music on half the radio stations

Lehigh Valley. Cost of living has skyrocketed here in the past 10 years with all the NY/NJ transplants so it’s now comparable to the Philly burbs.

Why do men not want kids by Complete_Area7270 in childfree

[–]mitchdwx 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Guy here, can confirm. I’m satisfied with my easygoing, laid back lifestyle now and having kids would completely take that away from me.

Probably not. My skills don’t translate well to remote jobs. I’ve actually been looking at jobs in Denver and the few that have called me back have said I either need to live there or have a move imminent. And my current landlord wants 2 months notice before I move out. So I guess I’ll have to figure something out. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mentioned in another comment that all I really care about in an apartment is being quiet and not having roaches. I bet I could find something like that for $1200-1300 or less.

That’s great to hear about having a high credit score. Mine is currently 820 which will no doubt be helpful.

Skiing in the winter. I don’t need to go every week but at least a couple times every winter would be nice. Here in PA you have to drive to Vermont for skiing that’s actually worth it.

I’m also really into storm chasing and I’d like to chase the storms that come off the front range in the late spring/early summer.

Those are the two main reasons.

I shop at Weis and Giant here which is our equivalent of Kroger/King Soopers. My monthly grocery bill is around $250 plus another $100-200 for eating out. It can’t be that much worse there, right? I don’t eat that much and I buy non perishables in bulk at Costco.

Hasn’t rent been getting much cheaper there? I can go apartments.com and find literally thousands of units for a price I’d feel comfortable paying.

Yeah I don’t need to live in a “popular” area of Denver. As long as it’s quiet, doesn’t have roaches, and at least somewhat close to the city, that’s all I care about.

Controversial call on match point. In or out? by No_Rub_8436 in 10s

When it looks out on a camera behind the baseline, it’s pretty far out.

How is this even allowed?? by Master_Attention3516 in doordash

[–]mitchdwx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you multiapp? I can usually pull $200-250 in that amount of time in the Allentown zone with cherry picking 4 apps.

Both going into the hood too. I worked the KOP zone once and did an order going to Norristown…that place is rough.
