Napoleon Dynamite. Tried watching it a few times with friends who insisted it was funny. I just found it more annoying than funny.

So you don't think you should be held accountable for the rules of the place you're in and for trying to escape?

And how do people know that? How do they know you're not pretending to not be a nutcase?

Do you understand that people can pretend to be kind, normal, etc as a way to sneak things in?

I'm sorry you had to go through these things, but you seem to lack some serious awareness of others.

This is such a a weird thing to focus on. You are projecting your own idea that these jobs are degrading and you fail to think about why these are jobs in the first place.

Sanitization is a massive reason why you don't have people doing their own dishes at restaurants. There is a process that needs to be followed and restaurants are required to follow to ensure pathogens don't end up on clean plates/etc.

Take your average person who dines at a restaurant and expect them to know these rules, and follow them, is insanely idealistic, but no company would ever even try to implement it due to the risks.

You have an unrealistic and idealistic view of this situation. Along with that, who are you to determine what is degrading? What about sanitation workers who pick up the weekly trash? Custodians who clean restrooms? The list goes on forever.

I don't disagree with that at all, it's a dumb vehicle no matter how you slice it and this debacle only furthers the proof. If it needs low rolling resistance, highway tires, then it's just a street queen for elon fanboys.

Weight is actually a good thing in the snow. Too light of a vehicle and it's hard to get any traction without something like tracks.

The struggling in the snow is most likely an issue of tires. If someone put some all terrain or ideally snow tires, I'm sure it'd do significantly better.

Rock climbing isn't my thing, but I helped out today taking some pictures at one and wow... there are a lot of people at those. People need belayers and it just had a generally friendly atmosphere. Plus you get exercise. If I was in need of friends and liked rock climbing, I'd definitely be going there more often.

I met my late wife on Match.com in 2011 and we had a wonderful marriage. After she had passed away, I took some time to myself, but when I started dating again, I tried a variety of sites.

Hinge, bumble, tinder, and match all got me dates, but I eventually met my now girlfriend on match. We've been together over a year now and marriage is in the future at some point, we're just not in a rush.

It's worked for me twice now, so I think saying it's impossible isn't necessarily true. A lot depends on your location, interests, etc, but if you keep at it, you're likely to find someone eventually.

Perhaps post your online profiles, or portions of it, to some dating advice magazines and get some feedback. Without more information, we can't know why it's not working out for you in particular, but regardless best of luck out there!

Long story cut alittle short, I’m a forgiving person and I CAN forgive her.

You can forgive her, but don't take her back. She cheated on you many times and if she justified it previously, she'll justify it again. The same applies to all people who cheat on their significant others. They lack integrity to end a relationship if they want to pursue casual sex, relationships, etc with other people, so the next time some dude comes along and tempts her, if she's interested she'll cheat again because if you take her back now, she'll know that you'll forgive her and accept her back again.

I'm sorry you're going through this, but these events don't happen in a good relationship. Forgive her if you need to and move on without her. Take some time to yourself, heal, and find a partner that wants to be with you and only you.

When I was working as an engineer I used both autocad and revit, autodesk has been a piece of shit company for a long, long time. Their greed knows no limits and unfortunately they have convinced their markets that the cost of working with them is just "the cost of doing business".

I'd love to see the day they crash and burn as a company, but I have a feeling that's just a far fetched dream.

It's technically not orange light bulbs they have to use, it's a specific lamp style called 'low pressure sodium'

Here's an article that explains the reasoning behind Hawaii's lighting sources and the regulations:

Red light is great for a headlamp when you want to preserve your night vision, you're also walking instead of traveling at +60 mph. Red light also doesn't provide you with any color differentiation which would be an issue with already existing road lines (yellow vs white) and street signs along with the simple notion that humans are used to light in the full spectrum from the sun.

The biggest issue with headlights is people putting LED lights in older, halogen bulb housings that don't scatter the light the same as LEDs which leads to blinding lights that are quite bright. Additionally, you get those assholes with lifted trucks that don't re-aim their headlights and they too add to the annoyance and danger of driving at night.

Better enforcement of existing laws would help, but that's asking a lot of police these days when they seem to have so many other "better" things to be focusing on. /s
