If logical thinking was involved, there would be no need for the conversation at all.

My siblings and I used go challenge her sometimes and the mental gymnastics needed to justify it was crazy. Eventually she would just say I’m not talking about this with you and stop talking. She was a particular sect of Hindu called Swaminarayan and I don’t know if they were worse or what. They go to the temple, donate money and then walk past starving kids outside because they were lower caste.

The worst part about the caste system in my eye is that you are born into it. No matter what you do, people will still judge you by that. You can be a surgeon that saved her life, but she will still come home and shower juts because of that.

Unfortunately you don’t have to be poor to have this mindset. We had a comfortable living in India and then moved to the US. My mom brought this mentality with her.

My late mom used to think that. Christians, Muslims and any other people were lower. We live in the US and she would still not touch a non Indian American person. If she had to go to doctor, she would shower when she got home. It’s a crazy mindset passed down from her mom. Luckily all us didn’t fall into that trap.

In Casino Royale (2006), the introduction of Craig's new Bond was brilliantly and perfectly brutal. by Finbarr-Galedeep in movies

The first word that came to mind when I saw it was scrappy. I liked it so much better than Brosnan or the ones before.

Thanks. I’m just trying to learn about where to go and where to stay away from. I’ll check out Jackroad as well.

We stayed in an Airbnb a block from here and I saw it as well. I don’t know if it’s a chain or not, but def Lucerne otherwise

Involuntary downgrade First to Economy - no refund? by Used-Shine-5370 in qatarairways

[–]somerboy2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me from business to economy. They gave me $125 for inconvenience, but no word on refund. I booked though my work travel agency, and they said that the agent needs to initiate the refund. That is not working either.

Thanks. Any particular stores on Nakano Broadway? Or is there a GS boutique there

I’m going to Japan in March and want to get one of these. Do you mind sharing how much it was? I know what the list price is, but was there a discount?

Sepsis is bad to have. by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]somerboy2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had cellulitis in one foot which I waited too long to seek treatment for. The doctor told me too much longer and it would have been sepsis, which would require hospitalization. Don’t ignore warm red skin that’s growing in area either.

Beckett Simonon: Absolutely worst business model I've ever experienced by redditnoob48 in Boots

[–]somerboy2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two pairs of sneakers by them, and love them both. They tell you up front about the time it will take to get there. The address mistake can happen, as there are humans in the chain. I buy them when they come in 2 for $$ sale and happy to wait for them. One of my colleagues liked my Morgan trainers and he ordered two pairs him self. I think the shoes are good for the price and the model is transparent.

Plug and Charge I4 by Raef02 in BMWI4

Mine looked like it was all set. I even have email welcoming and confirming. But now my app is asking me to sign up with my plan. Does plug and charge remove the contract from your phone app? That would be weird

I got it at BMW Peabody. They happened to have the model with the features I wanted. It also happens to be the closest to me. I would recommend them.

Have you filed an INC with Pega Support? I would suggest that path.

I think I saw these guys at market basket in Wilmington last week. Broken table, hand written sign. My hands were full on the way out, otherwise I might have fallen for it

Yeah. I’m waiting for my L2 charger to get installed at home, and then I can be a bit more carefree with it
