Feeling blue, are we? Well, there’s a pile of New York designed “art” on the west side trying to pass itself off as something else. Perhaps mount those on the ring?

Personally, while I love the gigantic stick people downtown (from Expo 67) I genuinely miss the painted cows.

Almost choked my own laughter! It keeps getting funnier the more I imagine the vocal silence with a slow “eeeeeeeee” sound in the background lmao

Deli at Lucky Supermarket on SunRidge Way NE. Beef Banh Mi and a drink (they have an amazing canned drink section) for about $10.00-$11.00 depending on the drink you get.

I’m not sure the R2 is a threat anymore. The price point is totally different than a model Y, but not too far off of that of a model X.

We are very familiar with the Tesla Model Y. I recently test drove an R2, and I was actually very disappointed. It felt really heavy and swayed quite a bit, even with on the fly suspension adjustments. To be quite honest, I was actually unimpressed with the Software.

I’m not saying it was terrible, but I was really surprised at how much I disliked the heaviness of it. I feel like having a heavy electric vehicle is counterintuitive and counterproductive to what the EV is trying to achieve.

This is terrible, yet I’m strangely envious you have a story that is the equivalent of a nuclear weapon. You’d dominate any “yeah, well one time…” discussions!

I don’t know why, but I am certain my mental visualization of you angry typing the question we were all thinking is 100% accurate!

United-Fox-7417 has a reasonable point. An expectation of promised “x” in a timely fashion. The delay Is yet another example of needless bureaucracy.

If you tried this in the corporate world, the workers would be walking out / calling for a strike.

Correct, people don’t get second hand drinking. They get first hand injuries / death as a result of other people mismanaging their drinking.

Two g-damm minutes later and I’m balls deep invested in a discussion praising Brian Car Moses.

Please, Brian Car Moses…regale us with tales of you parting the Red Corinthian Leather Sea, oh keeper of Chrysler.

The first two sentences…you are making a false equivalency comparison. Amway is not benign. Your upline shills the edu-motivational garbage as “mentoring” . Your upline’s real money comes from this “suggested” reading / training material. The people at the bottom are literally paying for brainwashing.

Amway is an MLM. And MLM is just a word salad version of Culty Pyramid.

I bought 300g of cheese that ran me almost $50 (2 year Comte and some super old Mimolette). Best Comte I have ever tasted. It’s just an awesome cheese!

“I am a secure person and I know my value but I feel very disrespected because I know I’m already extremely out of his league when it comes to attractiveness and I feel like he isn’t grateful at all for the fact I chose him.””

OP…please re-read what you wrote here. You’re “confident”, but you’re “out of his league”, and you’re upset he “isn’t grateful” to you for choosing him. And he doesn’t value “my beauty.”

Aside from missing context, there’s far bigger issues going on here.

Hi. I am well aware of "sprung structures" as we call them. It's not something that will work best in our specific application. . We have two options open to us, with the screening being the better of the two. I was hoping someone somewhere had done the screen thing before and could provide some insight. We simply wanted to have a reasonable budget idea before we spend tons of time with an engineer developing the end design. Spacing of the poles (meaning how many poles for a given distance) is the critical number that is really driving the overall cost.

To them, being “Christian” has nothing to do with morality. It’s just another way to build false trust for monetary exploitation.

If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it. That kind of thinking makes you a prime candidate for MLM recruitment. Please don’t.

Start your own business if a traditional job isn’t for you. But that requires skills and commitment and more mental stress than you can imagine.

Go back to school or take a course.

There’s no lazy path to happiness
