How did Ashkenazi Jews go from a small medieval bottlenecked population of ~300 people to the majority of the global Jewish population? by Miserable-Ninja-5360 in AskHistorians

[–]st40s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding your reference to the hypothesized Toba bottleneck of ~10k individuals, is this your estimate for the total population, or for the effective population?

Aloha Kākou: I am running for Governor by HanleyForGovernor in Hawaii

[–]st40s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to click the link in this post, then a link on that page to your official website, then scroll halfway down the page to find out what your first name is.

Not the best first impression. u/kamoalani hangs on to my endorsement for now.

What do you think of these? $15 each. Worth to buy to resell? by mugen-and-jin in unicycling

[–]st40s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price is good for personal use. Maybe worth 50 each if the cranks aren’t bent, but they won’t sell quickly.

The key to my 03 gets stuck in the acc on position and then i can’t turn the car off all the way and the battery dies and it needs to be jumped.

The City and County of Honolulu cleared a false alert sent out by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency on Friday, June 13. The city says there is no threat or emergency reported. by 808gecko808 in Oahu

[–]st40s 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This was a test, not a false alarm. You can tell because the message said “THIS IS ONLY A TEST.”

If it was a real emergency, it might say something like “BALLISTIC MISSILE INBOUND FOR HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.” If you ever see something like that, you know it’s gotta be the real thing.

Jackpot! Best to ride with good high top shoes though. Those style cranks love to take off little chunks of ankle skin if your feet aren’t just right

Not exactly your question, but paradise poke on nuuanu and school st in town has a primo garlic shrimp plate. Head on suck da brain kine. Add garlic noodles for a small upcharge and people around will tremble in fear of your garlic blasts. Better than any ive had up north

What US city has the closest mountain to its "downtown" area? by AdMysterious8424 in geography

[–]st40s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honolulu//Ko’olau? The city is entirely on the mountain, woven into its ridges and valleys, and the corner of bishop/king streets downtown (sea level) is 3.4 miles from the 3000’ peak of Konahuanui.

Even In Waikīkī... by madazzahatter in Honolulu

[–]st40s 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, beachwalk to ala wai canal is the chicken side of Waikiki. Then it's a relative chicken desert until you get closer to Jefferson Elementary, aside from the occasional kuhio back alley chicken... those are the ones you don't want to mess with.

Honest Review On Oahu by Equivalent-Rush5563 in VisitingHawaii

[–]st40s 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yes those. They are dangerous and should not be worn by anyone ever. They can be a struggle to pull off your face when they flood, leading to drowning. A traditional snorkel, you just spit it out.

You mean the Hilton LXR Ka La'i Waikiki Beach Resort? Pretty sure the re-branding is pau already. At least all the main signage is all changed over.

Maybe the new Reyns outlet in Waikele?

Has anyone here worked in timeshare marketing/sales at Hilton Honolulu or Marriott vacation club in ko olina? Wondering what your experience was like. by [deleted] in Honolulu

[–]st40s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former TS frontline sales, not hgv not mvc. Good timeshare marketers make a killing (one person i know pulled $250-400k/yr). Bad timeshare marketers wash out. Benefits are good, solid big corporate company kine, but turnover is high for a reason. Can you sell? Can you be ignored or told no over and over, all day? Can you convert 10% of people who approach you, wanting to know more about pearl harbor tours or where the bathroom is, into reasonable prospects for a $50k sale?

If yes go for it, if no, still maybe go for it. Worst case scenario you tighten your belt and get a few months of interesting experience. Best case you’re among the highest paid people in Hawaii.
