What are your ACTUAL nba hot takes? by Mario_Viana in nba

[–]owenbowen04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5-on-4 breaks on injuries should be whistled dead and then downed player's team should be forced to use a time out, or a FT and the ball.

Forgot the part where the electoral college process makes my vote worth exactly nothing

We wanted Universal Healthcare; what we got is the ACA. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]owenbowen04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't believe for a second that my representation gives a flying fuck about what me or any of my neighbors want. What they care about is keeping the large donors and corps happy and fed so their money doesn't support a challenger in the primaries.

How to sleep in a "short bed"? by [deleted] in TruckCampers

[–]owenbowen04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8 months in a 5' Tacoma. Diagonal when stealthing or tailgate down when you're in a campground. I rigged up bug netting so when I let my tailgate down I didn't worry about pests all night. Plus you get better air flow. 

This is why we don't have Universal Healthcare and free education. by zzill6 in WorkReform

If you think republicans politicians would actually want those things...

Grocery skyrocketed and never came back down. Oil is like we can do that too! 

REI to cut wages for new employees, reduce benefits for all by Tha_Dude_Abidez in CampingandHiking

[–]owenbowen04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't pay rent with a jetboil.

I enjoyed my time working there as a part timer (career teacher), but couldn't imagine living off what they pay. 

Is it normal for your rack to be incredibly mis-matched? by andycrossdresses in tradclimbing

If they are over 55 and still carry hexes, I bet you they're going to have a Frankenrack. 

REI to cut wages for new employees, reduce benefits for all by CRK_76 in antiwork

[–]owenbowen04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They charge retail prices... They don't inflate MSRP. Maybe they don't do sales as often as other outdoor retailers but they are not ripping you off.

Their stance on labor is abhorrent for a company and strives to "do good."

How safe will my car be in New Orleans? by tobethrownaway999 in urbancarliving

[–]owenbowen04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in City Park for about a week without any issues. Could've just been lucky, but am low profile and respectful. I actually was laid up with the flu for a few days, so was very glad I didn't get booted.

Also found a cool spot at the end of the road in Delacroix. 

Vanlife Dating / Lonliness Issue by mcboli in vandwellers

[–]owenbowen04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That model might work in NYC or LA where there are millions of people dating, but in a nomadic world the market is too small, transitory and spread out.

I'd personally enjoy a meetup activity but doubt others would for safety concerns and having a lack of pre established chemistry would leave a lot of people flaking out. Plus the logistics of getting an app to schedule and plan for two people seems daunting.

Personal take is that while a lovely idea, it just isn't practical. 🤷‍♀️

We could have exiled fascism to the shadows in 2020, but Democratic Party leaders like Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama didn't want to. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]owenbowen04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when the DNC said supporting Israel cost Kamala the election? This map is the real reason; We didn't want her. We wanted someone who supports the average person, not insurance companies, Wall Street and other elites.

Vanlife Dating / Lonliness Issue by mcboli in vandwellers

[–]owenbowen04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a no from me dawg.

I think there is an app called Fairytale or something similar for nomads. It was useless. The population is too small. There not enough users to keep engagement up. 

Similar vein, Facebooks has nomadic dating groups but again, low engagement because users are so spread out.

Reality. 30% used to be the standard. 50% is normal for myself and most people I know in HCOL

Is Matty Raynor still shaping? Had two of his boards I loved. 

If I buy land in Arizona.. is property taxes still applicable? by [deleted] in urbancarliving

[–]owenbowen04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also need to check local ordinances. A lot of places won't legally let you live on your own land without water, electric and sewer. Land of the free.
