im heading to texas hill country solo this july for about 10 days to explore the small towns wineries and hiking spots without rushing around. its my first real trip focused on that area so i want a comfortable base with good value and easy access to everything.
cheers for any suggestions guys
When I was a kid one summer felt endless. Now somehow entire months disappear in what feels like two weeks and it honestly scares me a little. Is there an actual scientific or psychological reason time feels faster as you get older?
Hey guys, I'm selling my 3-bedroom colonial in Lancaster, PA. I've lived here for 8 years but just got a job offer in Ohio that starts next month. I really need to sell quickly so I don't end up paying two mortgages. The house has a nice finished basement, a big fenced backyard, and a decent deck, but it needs some updates. Nothing major, but it's not move-in perfect. What's the best way to price it in this market? Should I price it a little under market value to get it sold fast, or list higher and hope for the best? Any recent experiences selling in central PA would be super helpful. Thanks!
After busting my ass for the last few years (double shifts, no vacations, eating cheap so I could stack cash), I finally bought my first real car at 24 and I’m hyped af. I’m from the Delaware area and this thing is my everything right now.
I went with a 2022 BMW 330i xDrive (M Sport package). 2.0 turbo, 255 hp, all-wheel drive, that sweet 8-speed auto, and it handles like a dream on these twisty Delaware roads and when I hit the highway up to Philly or down to the beaches. Got it with 22k miles, in Portimao Blue with black interior. Not crazy fast but the power delivery and that BMW steering feel got me grinning every single drive.
So far I’ve already knocked out:
Next on the list: I really want proper window tint all around (legal dark but not cop-bait dark) because the stock glass lets in too much heat and glare, especially cruising in the summer. And I also want to fix the audio game, the stock BMW system is clean but zero bass. I’m chasing that chest-thumping low end without turning the car into a rattle box.
My idea: Should I order a good subwoofer setup online (maybe a solid 10" or 12" with amp) and try installing it myself even though I know nothing about car audio wiring? Or should I just hit up the guys at Audio Jam online in Bear because they're near me and let them pick the right sub/amp combo, custom box if needed, and install everything properly? Same question for the tint, they do window tinting too right? I’d rather pay for a pro job than risk messing up my new BMW.
Any 3-Series or similar BMW guys running subs? What setup are you happy with that doesn’t murder trunk space or drain the battery? Looking to keep the whole audio + tint budget around $1k-1.5k if possible.
Pics coming once I figure out Imgur lol. Super excited to be here
Thanks bros 🚗🔊
for some reason the brain always decides 2 am is the perfect time to replay the most random embarrassing or emotionally weird memories imaginable. what is the weirdest type of thing your brain suddenly remembers late at night?
I mean, one of those that makes you smile in the midst of not having a dime and an empty fridge
every year around the same time we do a mass hire, usually 200-400 roles across multiple departments, different job families, different compliance requirements, different approval chains. and every single year it is absolute chaos.
last cycle we had something like 6,000 applications come in over 3 weeks. our current system basically had a breakdown. things were getting lost, hiring managers couldn't see their own candidate pipelines, interview scheduling was being done manually in Outlook by my team of 4 people. it was a disaster.
I've been researching whether one platform can actually handle this kind of volume without falling apart. one software keeps coming up, they seem to work with large government and enterprise orgs and have built-in workflow tools for exactly this kind of high-volume situation. but I've been promised a lot by vendors before so I'm skeptical.
anyone done a mass hire of 200+ roles through a single ATS and actually come out the other side without wanting to quit? what made it work?
I’m looking to make a genuine friendship, not just small talk that fades after a day. I’m a pretty chill, slightly introverted person, but once I’m comfortable I can talk about anything for hours. I like deep conversations, random thoughts at 2am, music, self-improvement, and just sharing life stuff honestly. I’m not into drama or fake energy, I’d rather have a few real connections than a bunch of surface-level ones.
I’d probably vibe best with someone who’s kind, open-minded, a bit introspective, and doesn’t disappear after one conversation. Bonus if you also like meaningful talks mixed with dumb memes sometimes 😄
If that sounds like you, feel free to reach out ✨
I feel like Catherine is one of those characters where my opinion keeps changing depending on the moment. There are times where I really respect her confidence the way she carries herself and how strong she is in situations where most people would probably hesitate. She knows what she wants she’s direct and she doesn’t apologize for taking up space. But then there are other moments where she feels controlling or crosses lines especially when it comes to family and work. Sometimes it feels like she genuinely believes she’s doing the right thing and other times it feels more about control and power. And I think that’s what makes her hard to read because her intentions don’t always match how her actions come across
I also feel like her relationship dynamics especially with Richard add another layer to her character. There are moments where she shows a softer side but they’re easy to miss compared to how strong her personality is most of the time. I don’t know if I’d say I like her but I definitely find her interesting. Curious how others see her do you think she’s misunderstood or do you feel like the criticism she gets is fair?
I’m currently looking at my Shopify reports and the foreign exchange fees for my US sales are eating way too much of my profit. Shopify makes it easy to accept different currencies, but the cost to convert everything back to AUD is becoming a huge headache. I feel like I’m losing a few percent on every single transaction just for the convenience.
Has anyone found a better way to handle this? I've been looking into using eway, a local gateway to see if their settlement options help keep more of the margin. Are you guys using a multi-currency account or just dealing with the standard Shopify fees? I’d love to hear how you're keeping costs down.
thanks
Hey everyone,
I’m 32 and I’ve just accepted a job offer in Austin and I’m moving from the UK at the beginning of July. It’s a big step, I’ve lived in London my whole life and this will be my first time properly living in the US. I’m excited but also a bit overwhelmed with the logistics.
I’m only taking one suitcase with me on the plane (clothes, laptop, important documents, and a few sentimental items). Everything else, furniture, kitchen stuff, winter clothes, and some other belongings, I’m shipping. I’ve already arranged it with PSS removals and they’ve been really helpful with the container size and timeline.
I’m trying to decide what’s actually worth bringing versus buying new when I arrive. Has anyone moved from the UK (or Europe) to Austin or Texas recently? What did you regret bringing? What did you wish you had shipped or bought locally?
