This thread brings me back to HS and college when I’d show up late to the party and everyone else was already drunk and high in a deep convo

First of all OP, I’d go talk to your local permitting office and see how it goes. As said, there’s plenty of good people in those local offices that will more often than not help you out. Absolutely knowing people and knowing how to grease the wheels goes a long way, but just being nice and polite does also.
By all builders? That’s a ridiculous statement. So many what ifs.
Lot of truths here though OP, as said don’t expect it to go fast.
Generally speaking to do this well, you want guys that don’t work for the big builders. Because otherwise they will absolutely toss you to the side weekly if not daily. But at the same time, those guys won’t have as much experience with larger new builds either.

F-35 pilot and he’s 65? What was he a test pilot? Google says f35 came into service in 2015 which puts him at 55

I think what he meant is if you buy your tires from there, they will patch it for free. That's the deal they gave me on my last tires I purchased.

re: Etiquette; Texting your boss on a Sunday evening saying you won’t be at work Monday
Posted by baldona on 2/23/26 at 5:32 am to Gee Grenouille
If it’s a salaried role and non critical for the day, why would you text your boss on a Sunday? Why not send an email?
If it’s urgent enough to send on a Sunday then it is critical enough and should be considered.
If someone has kids and never misses work due to them, that great, but that’s a flag to me also they are a shite parent

Absolutely and blaming it on local blacks in NYC is ignorant as hell. It’s immigrants in general that are an big issue and there’s an enormous cultural and immigration difference between NYC and anywhere in Japan. When I was there last spring there was a ton of Hispanics and middle easterners working street jobs.
NYC has Chinatown, little Italy, etc. Is that popular in Tokyo?
Mass immigration is generally going to involve a lot of crime as they are desperate to survive.

Where can you buy beer and drink it in the stands? Premier league you have to drink on the concourse. Serie an and La liga I’m pretty sure is N/A. I don’t know about Bundesliga, Google says you can actually. League 1, French league no beer.
So maybe most was technically wrong but it seems like more than 1/2. Call it what you want

It looks like 6 on board and 4 were ejected. Everyone seems ok.
It sounds like the piling was on its side probably hit by a barge or something and the lighted marker buoy was next to it for safety. Guys probably saw the buoy and just cruised by it on plane. Kinda hard to blame them, but they did cut it close as hell.

I am really suprised thst olympians don’t have a little more discipline than to be fricking everyone in sight!
You gotta remember the vast majority of them have no shot at a medal. You could frick some beautiful girls and get 23rd place, or not frick and get 21st… Many of them are there for a week or 2 and only have competition for a day or 2. I think they have to depart Olympic village after they compete in a certain length of time?

The reason is they provide services that can legally be funded by taxpayer money and also except private donations. You would have to do a full scale audit and prove they used taxpayer money on the things that are not legal.
Obviously it depends on the non profit, but a lot of non profits that deal with direct social work staffing are 90%+ government funded through grants and contracts. When I worked at a non profit out of college we had around $3 mil in revenue and donations were around $200-250k. We had one fundraiser that brought in almost $200k most years.

But for your avg investor they have extremely low fees, great customer service, lots of options to trade, and user friendly app and website.

After the boat hit the channel marker, the six people on board were ejected from the vessel, said Kristen Livengood, a spokeswoman for Fire Rescue.
re: Angels’ owner: ‘Winning not a top five priority for fans’

I understand where he is coming from, but that’s total and complete bullshite.
How many fans go to a game when the team sucks? Now when you are in first place toward the end of the season how many fans are there?
End of story
Now as owners, I 100% agree. To some degree an owner wants to maximize revenue which doesn’t always align with completely with winning.

Out of nowhere?
If I was single I could use the same towel for weeks, like close to a month probably. My wife swaps them out often.
If you use it and hang it up, it dries and feels clean again. I’m clean after getting out of the shower. If you think the nastiest thing you do is reuse a towel then you are either a Nancy boy that never gets his hands dirty or you are ignorant.
I’ve literally never used a wash cloth to wash my bhole, usually just soap and my hand. I use a loofa for the rest of my body, don’t need to wash my bhole with that. But when you use soap on a washcloth, it’s soap and water. When you wash it, you use soap and water.
I don’t understand why washing a wash cloth makes you feel it’s cleaner.

Even if you have 20+ concerts every year, they’re still distinct “one-offs”. Morgan Wallen, Beyoncé, Garth Brooks, AC/DC, Springsteen, Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, McCartney, Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga… they could all sell out the same stadium in one year and a person would only be interested in going to 2-3 of them.
Respectfully, have you not seen what the bears ownership wants? They are trying to create an entertainment ‘district’ where they own the rights to parking, entertainment, restaurants, etc.
There’s 52 weeks in a year, it wouldn’t be that difficult to do something weekly. Bears play on Sundays, you could easily host a concert Friday and a Saturday college football game.
