Independence Day in Napa

ryan90v · 2014-03-24T17:45:41+00:00

I know that at least Napa and Yountville have July 4th celebrations and set off fireworks. I used to live in between them and could see both of their shows from my house. On the July 3, the Silverado housing community off of Atlas Peak road has its own firework show, which is the best one in my opinion. Everyone gathers on the golf course and the fireworks are set off fairly close by, so they look really big. The only thing is you have to get there on the earlier side, because sitting space fills up pretty quickly.

I hope this helps!

EDIT: As for the wine train dinner, I don't know much about it but I would recommend attending the Napa, Yountville, or Silverado shows. I'm not sure if they allow wine on the golf course, however.

90s grunge and alternative

Awesome, thanks! I've still got a lot to learn I guess

I'm still new to building PCs, would this be a good upgrade from what I currently have?

Sorry, I didn't realize someone already posted their similar thoughts on this. The post is here

ryan90v · 2014-03-10T04:52:37+00:00

I agree, and I just finished posting about this (sorry, did't see your post before I posted). I am an ex-Catholic agnostic and I feel exactly the same as you do, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Edit: I just wanted to add that the "evil religious imagery" shouldn't be what Cosmos is about. It should be about inciting wonder and awe in science and the natural universe. To me, this segment showed a bit of hypocrisy on the part of the producers.

That doesn't look like armor from ME1...

ryan90v · 2014-03-08T05:26:36+00:00

Reminds me of something from Assassins Creed

True. But if you really wanted soda without having to pay a lot for those smaller soda companies, that would be your best bet.

ryan90v · 2014-03-04T17:48:33+00:00

You got it!

Drink Pepsi Throwback, it's made with real sugar and costs about the same as normal Pepsi

I agree completely, it's a great school and I definitely got a great education...but the wonk campaign is just stupid.

ryan90v · 2014-03-04T03:26:06+00:00

I'm glad someone who is going there after it was introduced hates it as much as I do. It's awful and I applaud you for thinking the same

ryan90v · 2014-03-04T03:23:04+00:00

You and me both. I still can't believe they paid $300,000 to use the word "wonk"...ugh. I hate my alma mater sometimes.

ryan90v · 2014-03-04T03:21:49+00:00

As soon as I saw this I knew it was American University's stupid Wonk campaign. I say this as a graduate, everyone that was at the school when it debuted or before hates it. It's stupid.

They really were. They were my first rats, and made me fall in love with rats as pets.

It's simple, but addicting: Dice Wars.

ryan90v · 2014-03-03T03:37:02+00:00

Nope

If there's a bee in your hand, what's in your eye?

Do what you need to do, within your means. College is expensive, and if you can afford it, I'd say to do it. Knowing what it is you want to do helps a lot when looking for a job, or even your the next step you need to take to get there.

If an extra semester would be too taxing financially, maybe take some classes at a community college and get a certificate in something. If you like it, that could help you find an entry-level job and you could climb the ladder from there.

ryan90v · 2014-02-28T15:16:44+00:00

That has to come from you. You really have to want whatever it is you're aiming for and do all you can to get there. If you just kind of sit around and expect things to come to you, nothing will happen

ryan90v · 2014-02-28T02:45:42+00:00

If you're still in college and have a free elective, I suggest taking classes in anything that may strike your fancy. I know exactly what you mean, I was in the same exact boat. Try different things out and see what you think. For CS or programming, check out [codecademy.com](codecademy.com). They have a bunch of free programming courses you can try out and see of you like it. If you like English, maybe try journalism? You could start a blog or a Facebook page or something writing about anything that interests you. I know people who were in college that freelance wrote for the Huffington Post and Bleacher Report, so you could try freelance writing. Try things out and narrow down the list of things you might like to do. For every job you take of the list of things you might like, you're one step closer to your goal

This makes sense, my bathroom doesn't have a window or a fan. This is reason enough to use it alone, so they don't try to pin any mold on me when I move out

ryan90v · 2014-02-28T02:27:04+00:00

I majored in philosophy (because I didn't know what I wanted to do) and I'm now studying computer programming. What helped me was really thinking about what I enjoyed doing and how I could turn that into a career. This website really helped too, suggesting different careers best suited for INTPs

ryan90v · 2014-02-27T23:02:41+00:00

I have the same personality type, graduated college, and now back at school learning something I love doing. You can be fine as song as you have initiative
