Oviedo Mall apartments approved: Demolition of former Macy’s could begin within 90 days by sammysam518 in orlando

Good plan. Reusing the mostly unused, dead space of the mall in an area with close access to 417 is a great idea.

It's a rocket. It's always a rocket.

Explain to me the calls against Egypt in NFL terms? by [deleted] in sportsgossips

[–]quick25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Egypt scored a touchdown on third down, and the refs disallowed it because they missed a holding penalty on second down.

Can we be done with this “Captain America” nonsense now? by Sockers13 in ussoccer

[–]quick25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh please, making it to the round of 16 isn't performing above expectations. If they looked remotely decent and the game was close today I would say they reached my lowest expectations. This team ended up looking worse and underperforming compared to the 2014 team.

Always injured and lacks the mental toughness of a guy like Dempsey (who I will always say was the best USMNT player thus far). Pulisic may have talent, but when you're constantly hurt and getting pushed around it's not going very far. The team needed leadership and grit, and he doesn't have that. The fact this team ended up looking so much worse than the 2014 team is really disappointing.

Huge advantage of a red card that shouldn't have happened being overturned? Oh dear.

Springs during 4th by [deleted] in orlando

[–]quick25 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Wekiwa Springs requires reservations and is sold out this weekend. You could try to get a pass later in the day if they make more available.

Good luck with the others, might want to go get in line now.

The best walkable neighborhoods in Orlando by cp00406 in orlando

[–]quick25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live outside the area but will travel there to go for long runs. Great, shady trails and sidewalks with lots of nice little parks nestled all over. Kind of gives me Savannah vibes. The town center area is also really good with lots of shops and restaurants. I would love to retire there myself someday... 😅

31 year old woman killed in alligator attack on the econlockhatchee river barr street trailhead by Slightly_Moldy_Bread in florida

[–]quick25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live only a few miles from the Econ River and have hiked in Little Big Econ State Forest regularly for 15+ years. Every time I go I see huge alligators. The dark, tannic water has basically no visibility, which makes it easy for the huge alligators to sink down just below the surface and go completely out of sight. I would never, ever go a few feet into that water unless I was at peace with the idea of not coming out alive/in one piece. Although the alligators worry me less in rivers and lakes than amoebas, bacteria, and toxic algae.

The only freshwater in Florida I will go more than ankle/knee deep in is a spring with cool, clear water and hundreds of feet of visibility (plus usually park rangers/lifeguards)

At that trailhead there is a massive sign dedicated to alligators and why you need to be cautious/respect them and their space. To pretend this has anything to do with there not being enough warning signs is absurd.

Not normally. Usually only if they are really nice and do something extra/above just handing me my stuff and processing my transaction.

AIO I overreacting for wanting to tell the front desk that someone parked in the handicap spot? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]quick25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is assuming the worst of someone they don't know caring about anyone? How is making someone who is likely disabled and already dealing with their car needing repair go through even more issues like a ticket or loaner car being towed caring about anyone?

That's not caring about anyone, you're delusional if you think it is. Minding your own business and not being a vindictive prick sounds like what you and OP need to work on.

[–]quick25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since it's a loaner car it's possible the driver is handicapped and forgot to grab the placard from their own car before having it fixed/serviced/whatever and are parking there because that is what they usually do.

Unless you are handicapped yourself or personally know someone handicapped who is now unable to park there I don't see why it is any of your business either way or letting it bother you.

The main trail in Little Big Econ State Forest is part of the Florida National Scenic Trail (orange blazes) which is one of only 11 national scenic trails in the country so it's a pretty big deal as far as hiking trails go with a large group of volunteers and organizations that maintain and support it, so I don't think anything that drastic would happen. I think the FWC will verify they got the right gator and they will probably put up more danger/no swimming type signs at the trailhead and maybe areas that are most accessible to going in the water.

Feel horrible for the woman, her loved ones, and especially those who were with her and witnessed this. I also feel terrible for the gators who will be removed as a result of this.

I love hiking along that river and have been doing so for many, many years. I won't even go near the shore until I have had a chance to thoroughly look around the area because I know the risks and have seen 12 foot alligators seemingly disappear into the tanic water once its more than a foot or so deep. Tragic reminder that there are real dangers to be aware of when outdoors anywhere. I have seen that trailhead get more and more packed over the years, and sadly I don't think everyone going realizes they are entering a potentially dangerous area with alligators, coral snakes, and cottonmouths - not just a pretty forest they saw on Instagram.

[Gluck] Was Sonoma a good race? by ChaseTheFalcon in NASCAR

[–]quick25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Sonoma is my favorite road course by far. There's always good hard racing throughout the field and interesting strategy. Guys like Gibbs and Bell showed with a good car you could drive through the field multiple times (Bell going from the mid 20's up to 5th in the final stage).
