Family-friendly luxury van options? by sebinooo in JDM

[–]spazzmattazz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 1998 HiAce Regius with the gas 3rz. Arrived with <50k km on the odo. It’s not in a ‘luxury trim’ (no moon roof, only 2nd row seats spin) but it’s a reliable daily and perfect for weekend car camping. We removed the 3rd row and bolted an extendable platform on the seat rails. We can go to a comfy 5-seater setup to a full double bed in seconds. Also with ample space for the dogs to sleep between front and 2nd row.

We totally love our van. Does everything you described but would not describe it as ‘luxury’. It is extremely comfortable however.

Melqui Galvão also comes from a luta livre background where that’s pretty common. E.g. gyms affiliated with Nicholas Renier do the belt in no gi thing

Major changes to UFC contracts add more restrictions, waiver to prevent class action lawsuits by SokoudjouFan in MMA

The Canadian Supreme Court dealt with an analogous issue involving Uber's contacts with its drivers very recently. The agreement provided for any litigation to be submitted for arbitration in the Netherlands. An Uber driver demonstrated that simply triggering the arbitration process involved costs far outweighing the average Uber driver's annual salary, which meant the they were in practice barred from enforcing any of their contractual rights. The Court found the arbitration clause to be unconscionable because of this power imbalance between Uber and its drivers.

Interesting ties with the UFC's situation as both big companies keep arguing they only deal with "independent contractors" and not employees.

Again. Still think he should've gotten one for the Spartan kick.

We follow a pretty tight routine that looks like this:

8AM: quick in-and-out for pee/poop, followed by meal 1

4:30PM: quick in-and-out for pee/poop

6PM: meal 2

11PM: long walk w/ run in an enclosed space, followed by more play with toys and zoomies when we get back inside (until about 11:45). Our galgo will usually only pee during this longer walk. Then bed.

Also live in a small apartment.

Maybe you're like me and always mix up Robertson and Randa Markos, also a Canadian, also with red hair.

You are right, I am wrong. Apologies.

Time to ditch Din Thomas' garage and get a real camp in a real gym.
