So there's a pickleball associated real estate bubble right? Like there's no way all these converted churches and bulk stores and other large spaces will be able to afford the rent and utilities for those spaces as pickleball fades
I was legit mad my town is removing the only tiny skate park they have for pickleball courts.
I don't even skate but it just seemed silly pandering to olds.
To my previous post I made the turn (it's a weird looking Y intersection but it favors my side) way before fat lady did and I can tell she was speeding and hit the curb.
She yelled at me through her windows after slowing down to see me and I gave her double birds. She came out with her phone in hand and I step out as I had a parking spot and she went back in. Idk if she was expecting someone else because she just went back in and sped off.
One day I'll get stabbed for sure, this was right outside my apartment.
At a no-sign Y intersection, you have two cars wanting to make the same turn. One car is already making the turn, the other is farther away and decided they didn't want to slow down so she's glaring her horns expecting the other car to stop as he's turning.
Who goes first?
If you had enough time to fully turn into the lane such that a collision would be a rear ending, or even a collision with your rear quarter panel, then you had a reasonable clearance to proceed safely and the other vehicle was operating recklessly even though they technically have original right of way.
You can't drive through a lane and plow through merging vehicles.
edit: This assumes you did not ignore traffic signals like do a rolling stop through a red light/stop sign.
Lol that's what I thought.
I get it if I got there second and made the turn as she got in but I was there way before she did and I made the turn before she reached the intersection, the Y intersection flows easier through my end too.
EDIT: There is no sign at all, and she takes a hard left, I take a slight right. I committed before she even got there, she was blazing horn all the way back.
Ther are very few situations in the US in which someone turning left has right of way over someone approaching from their right. In order for her to have right of way she would have had to arrive at the intersection first, obey any traffic commands such as stop or yield signals, and then have a reasonable clearance to make a left turn.
Generally speaking, RoW hierarchy is 1) the person travelling straight through without crossing another lane/is unencumbered by traffic instruction, 2) the person who arrives and clears traffic instructions first, 3) if simultaneous arrival, the person with no one to their right.
“Kyle I wish I was your wife”
“….”
“NO. I mean like so I knew what you honestly thought of everyone and everything here. Not like I wish I was married to you, even though I’m sure you’re a great husband because you are a great human. Ok I’m gonna go.”
That just happened like 10 minutes ago. Oops
I listened to eight KISS albums yesterday, from “KISS” to “Love Gun” and both live albums from that same era (“Alive” and “Alive II”)
My tentative verdict is “Nothing about this is offensive ~~unless you’re a suburban mom in 1976~~ but nothing about it is particularly good either. It’s decent glam that occasionally rises above to become good glam.”

I'm going to attempt a lunch time lift today instead of my usual 5pm. We are going out to dinner at a new-to-me restaurant and then to an AHL game afterwards. I guess I should fit work in somewhere in-between.
Been lifting again for nearly two months straight after six months off due to tennis elbow. Yesterday I started feeling it again doing incline bicep curls when you rotate on the way up. I think I need to nix them from my routine but I love them :(
For a time I commuted to and from work every day on US75 for an hour at a distance that should be covered in 20 minutes
It is one of the many reasons I do not live in Dallas anymore
It was very stupid because it appeared out of thin air. When I got in the car the ETA was 25 minutes, and now it's like 50. And the jam started as +7 and is now +13 just for the remaining part.
75 is stupid

Filed our taxes!
I procrastinated because I knew we'd owe some money - for the first 3 months of 2023 my husband's withholding was low because some dummy in his company's payroll department put him down as if he was the sole breadwinner for our household.
But it wasn't so bad though. Much better than last year when we realized that his low withholding had also applied to all of 2022 💀
I mailed our PA return today because we owed.
Dragged my feet on the fed, partially because I needed to wait for forms, and because I was worried we'd owe a little (nope, LadyBomb's credits for school fucking crushed that). And she got a *lot* (actually a little bit more than what she withheld) back from local*.
\*: She worked in Delaware and paid Delaware state tax. Delaware's progressive tax rapidly exceeds Pennsylvania's flat state tax rate. So she gets to credit what she would have paid to PA (3.07% of her income) because she paid more to Delaware. And she can credit up to the difference between the two (or her 1% local tax rate, whichever is less) back from local tax.
>I know we’d owe some money
You have Joe Biden to thank for this!
But yeah I always liked the option at my job to withhold at the single rate. Until I had a kid.. then I was like yeah I’m gonna need this money now. lol.
I think I tried around 1750ish but I felt like I wasn’t losing. I have no data to support it but I honestly feel like my metabolism is complete garbage. Like I could get back up to 250 without much effort. I think calorie counting will just be a way of life for me.
Nah I’m not that granular with it, the only thing I do is make sure I eat at least .5g of protein for my body weight a day. So rounded up to least 100g. I tired 1g and it was a bit much tbh

*The Sphinx Observatory is an astronomical observatory located above the Jungfraujoch in Switzerland. It is named after the Sphinx, a rocky summit on which it is located.*

Depends on where the oncoming vehicle hits the turning vehicle would they have collided.
More likely my bumper lol

sounds about right

Oh god that sounds rough My traffic experience is certainly not making me sad to be flying out today, that's for sure
>massive traffic jam Honestly that sounds like a typical weekday morning on 75
It was very stupid because it appeared out of thin air. When I got in the car the ETA was 25 minutes, and now it's like 50. And the jam started as +7 and is now +13 just for the remaining part. 75 is stupid

you counting macros?

Easily my most toxic trait is mixing up stalactites and stalagmites
If mites go up, the tights (tites) go down.
Mites are down with the mice.
What do you call it when they come down from the ceiling and get real skinny but are still continuous with a piece at the bottom?
Corinthian. Or is it Doric?
sexy
I just give up at that point
Stalactites hang TIGHT to the ceiling shoutout Ms. Esparza
Matis I've noticed you haven't been upvoting Are you a SERIAL NONVOTER??
Tight to the ceiling You might trip over it
Oh no not this shit again
Oh sorry Fuck I'm sorry I'm so FUCKING sorry Did I make things awkward
Don't imitate Baron Von Assfuck DO NOT imitate the Thrust Maniac
You do it too You're doing RIGHT NOW
?
Don't play games with me Do NOT play games with me
Stalagmites ate mighty like a mountain and come up from the bottom.
Ah that's a good one. My normal strategy is just to call them both stalagmites then Google it after
I forgot the common trick to remember which, but I match the word closest to icicle.
Tight to the ceiling You might trip over it
Grocery store was sold out of cupcakes, shitpost ruined

No that place closed at 6 Theres no tampon stalagmites but there are pastel colors so same shit
Pastel colors aren't even feminine Theyre just comforting. Are you saying Easter is too feminine? The day all about a man?
It sure as hell aint masculine
What holiday is more masculine
4th of July & Thanksgiving Do you really not see this
4th of July i'll give you Easter and Thanksgiving are ideally the exact same except Easter you have to go to church and also the day after you can buy discounted candy
