I am in the market looking for a luxury compact suv. I will be driving around 200 highway miles daily, so a lot of miles in a year or two!! I have to focus on reliability, safety and driving performance.
Cars for me are not a machine to get from point A to point B!!! Given the high mileage driving and low span of 1-2 years I am thinking of getting a gently used one within 20-30k miles so that I can sell it off before it reaches 100k and recover same value.
Keeping the depreciation and requirements in mind… what do yall suggest! I have been looking at the X1, X3, Q5 primarily.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Author's Note: This story is long. I'm sorry. It really deserves to be told exactly as it happened and therefore, I am forced into murdering brevity. I hope that in time you'll forgive me.
I'm going to tell y'all another stupid story. I should warn you that this one isn't really a comedy, despite being set in a RadioShack.
A few months after Cocaine-Kevin took off for Brazil in pursuit of true love, we got a new transfer employee. We came to call him 'Aikedo-Kevin' (I'm adding the -Kevin because this is a subreddit about Kevins.)
We called him 'Aikedo' because we met him before the final act of the following chain of events took place and afterwards we just didn't have the motivation to attach anything else to him.
When I replay what happened in my head, it astounds me that this took place at all. I mean, we had our fair share of Kevins at RadioShack. There was Cocaine-Kevin, (whom you've previously met.) Crazy-Kevin, 'TP' Kevin, Kevin the Customer, and Kevin the Destroyer. Every one of these people occupy space in my brain for various reasons, but out of all these Kevins, Aikedo-Kevin is the most memorable. And not for the reason you'd most expect.
As if he represented the cosmic opposite to the Kevin he was replacing, this new Kevin came across as competent. He was older and well-kept. He didn't smell at all like sun-dried squirrel and rather than being cartoonishly fat, he was worryingly thin. He looked surprisingly normal for a RadioShack employee; completely trustworthy, certainly like the guy you'd confidently go to to get your Questions Answered.
Looking at him, I would never have believed in a million years that he would be the most profligate serial liar that I've ever had the misfortune to meet.
I know that I should start this tale at the beginning; with the story of how he got his name, but I really don't have the space, so instead we'll just rollercoaster through this cascade of events much like I did originally.
Almost from the moment Kevin showed up, things got real weird, real fast. He lasted for about six months with us, but they were unforgettable. It started with Kevin telling us that he was a 'triple-stripe; dragon-class' black belt in aikedo. Then he told us that he met Kiss back in the 70's and they invited him back to their hotel to party. Then the lies got egregious. He was late because there was a riot at Publix. Someone else ate the food that I had clearly marked and labelled in the back fridge. His dad was in the CIA and helped plan Vietnam with Henry Kissinger. He didn't know why the drawer was short $5.34. He was allergic to fruit. The list was long and got progressively weirder as the weeks went by, but it was generally innocuous; innocent.
But then he fucked up. He told a lie about NASA. Guys, this was a RadioShack. We were all nerds of various stripes, with varying areas of scientific interest and knowledge. There was NO possibility in any universe that one could just traipse into my RadioShack and successfully lie about NASA. Especially this particular lie. There was even less of a possibility that upon hearing such a lie spoken, any of us RadioShack employees would let it go unchallenged.
Ok, now that all the foreshadowing is out of the way, let me get down to the meat. I mean, that's why you're still here, right?
This chain of events spanned three days and it began in the way these things always do; somewhat accidentally.
DAY 1: THE NASA PROVOCATION
It was a normal Florida afternoon for everyone who didn't work at my store. As usual, I came in on second (closing) shift. I was taking over from Kevin, who'd just returned from his vacation. The drawer was missing $5.34. Again? Wtf? He 'fixed' it while I was in the back re-counting it. Okay. $5.34? This is so weird. I have to report this shit.
While waiting for his wife to pick him up, Kevin told me that he and his family had had a blast in Cape Canaveral. That he was able to take his son into the 'anti-gravity chamber' at NASA. He went into great detail about how they 'flew around in the tunnel.'
Now, y'all... I'm not an idiot. I very well know how NASA trains their astronauts in Zero-G. Fuck it, I'll bite.
"Uh, Kevin, they use planes to simulate zero-gravity. What are you talking about?"
He shook his head conspiratorially and said, "No, they have secret pods. There's two. One in Huntsville, Alabama, and one at Cape Canaveral. It's top-secret. I have a friend."
I stood there transfixed as Kevin embellished his experiences at NASA a bit more, making sure I knew how cool it was that his kids got to meet all the astronauts and how big the pod really was (almost as big as the Pentagon) until his wife finally showed up and they left.
I think I took a minute before going back inside. I had to call Frank (our store manager) to report the drawer discrepancy. And if I'm being honest, I also wanted to inform him of NASA's Pentagon-sized secret. We were all getting sick of Kevin's fibs, but nobody had really said anything to him yet and I knew Frank was a huge NASA fan. Repeating to him what Kevin had said was tantamount to lighting off firecrackers at a funeral, and at that age, I just wanted to watch the world burn.
Frank answered on the first ring, as I knew he would if the store was calling him.
"Heeeyyyyy, Frank. So. My drawer was short $5.34 again. Kevin somehow fixed it. He also went to the, uh, secret anti-gravity pod at NASA while he was at Cape Canaveral."
Frank laughed. There was a long pause. Then he snarled.
"What? Your drawer was short?! I'm DONE with this!" Frank hung up. I looked down at the phone. Dang. Frank is a terrible force for truth in the universe. I knew this from painful personal experience.
DAY 2: KEVIN'S LAST LIE
I got a call at 5 am to come in early; that Kevin couldn't open. Whatever. More money for me. I rolled out of bed.
When I got there, Frank was behind the counter pacing and literally purple. I've never seen a human being that color before. He looked like an engorged eggplant preparing for a Kanly duel.
I was putting my stuff away in the back when Frank stomped in behind me. He was hollering about gravity and idiots and I realized immediately that Kevin was in major, major trouble.
A frission tickled its way through my central nervous system. Fear or anticipation? Uncertain. Frank could be terrifying. Alternately, Frank could be compassionate. Frank was a real street-dude; a living tragedy-to-triumph, rags-to-riches kind of guy. He was also a VERY understanding boss. He basically only had three rules: 'Don't fuckin' steal,' 'Don't bring your personal fuckery to the store,' and, most importantly, 'Don't EVER fuckin' LIE to me.'
Those are exact quotes and he lived up to them. I know this. And now you all know this too. Kevin should have known this, but Kevin lived life on the edge.
In the backroom, I squared my shoulders and pretended to be uninterested while watching Frank's face pulse with incandescent rage.
"What's up?" I ventured, trying to hide my curiosity.
Frank exploded like something you shouldn't microwave. His purple face rippled as he tried to roll his eyes and snort simultaneously. He looked for all the world like an indignant water buffalo. Which is funny really. See, big game hunters will tell you that despite looking slow and stupid, the water buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals on Earth. African buffalo will lay traps. They will actually double back to lie in wait to hunt their hunter. And, much like the animal he resembled, Frank too was dangerous and known for his traps.
He smiled at me ferally.
"Kevin called out this morning. Apparently his cousin the St. Petersburg cop got shot last night in a drug raid."
"What does that have to do with NASA?" I said stupidly.
Frank stared at me like I was the only Red Gal in the Blue Man Group.
"I busted Kevin last night for theft." Frank said slowly, with that owlish look he saved for especially thick customers.
Okaaaay "But, what does tha-" I stopped, the light bulb over my head starting to flicker.
"Oh." I said.
Frank was still staring at me, perhaps waiting for my brain to finish its loading sequence. Accurately concluding that I was operating somewhat below dial-up speed, he sighed impatiently and continued.
"My wife called the hospital just now. They don't have anyone by the name of (Kevin's cousin's name) on file there. She called two other hospitals just to be sure."
I just looked at him blankly. "Waaaait. what?!" My mental bulb finally snapped on and flared brightly. Oh shiiit. My brain is furiously connecting dots. Did he lie to get un-caught for thieving? Is that a even a thing? Wtf?
Frank nodded grimly and picked up the phone. He dialed Kevin's number.
Unfortunately for this story, I had a customer walk in right then and therefore didn't hear what was said. Customers can be the most annoying things in the world sometimes. This one probably wasn't, but I don't remember because all I could think about was Kevin's career suicide. It seemed like an eternity passed before I was able to rejoin Frank in his investigation.
In the time I was away, Frank had learned two things: the first thing being that no cops had been shot according to the news, (which Kevin countered by claiming that the news wouldn't report a cop being shot in an on-going investigation,) and the second thing being that no hospital in the tri-county area had admitted anyone matching his cousin's name, (which Kevin dismissed by saying that secrecy was standard operating procedure in a 'Full Blackout' situation and that it's all put in place to protect a wounded cop's identity.
It was a testament to Frank's determination that he was able to do all this so quickly. Especially since this all happened back in the 90's before the sum of human knowledge was only a smartphone click away.
This inanity went on for my entire shift. Frank sending his wife to check out hospitals while he alternately called the local newspapers, TV stations, and Kevin.
Frank was terrifying in his pursuit of truth and I have to admit, it was a thing of beauty to watch him put his case together. Perry Mason be damned; Frank was on an investigative roll. But no matter what he learned, when he called Kevin, Kevin had an answer to it. A detailed answer. He went into specifics about how the bullet (9mm) hit his cousin's vest and richocheted off of a rib. He explained how it was a 'cartel case,' and everything has to be kept hush-hush. It was quite entertaining, if schadenfreude is your thing. It's not mine. I can't really explain how uncomfortable the whole thing made me feel. Like chewing on cotton. There's no way Kevin keeps his job. Kevin has the survival skills of a suicide bomber and the critical thinking skills of a cabbage. It was plain as day that Kevin was a drowning man grasping desperately for an anchor.
Finally, my shift ended and I went home mentally exhausted on Kevin's behalf.
As I left, I could see Frank behind the counter, still on the phone, hyper-focused, and absolutely intent upon some mission objective that I apparently wasn't cleared for. He told me just to be ready to close the next day.
DAY 3: THE GREAT DENOUEMENT
I woke up haunted with the strange certain knowledge that disaster was nigh. Maybe it was the same instinct that allows animals to sense an earthquake before it strikes. I really don't know. I felt both uncomfortable and giddy as I readied myself for work.
When I pulled into the RadioShack, I saw that Frank's Jeep was there. So was Frank's wife's SUV. Kevin's car was nowhere to be seen.
Oh boy... this was not a good sign. I parked and went in. Immediately I could see Frank, his wife, and the employee who had opened huddled furtively together behind the counter. No customers in sight.
Excellent, I thought. Maybe I'll finally get some Answers. This IS a RadioShack, after all, right?
As I counted in my drawer, the preliminary results of Frank's investigation poured out: allegedly Kevin had been taking money from the drawer to get McDonalds for lunch. The amount ($5.34) matched perfectly with the meal Kevin was observed eating each day that he worked. No one knew why he did this. He very obviously brought his lunch in from home every morning.
Frank was a-twitter with anticipatory fury as he spoke. After the conversation he'd had with Frank the previous night, Kevin had slyly switched shifts with another employee to avoid having to open and therefore face Frank. Which, of course, had jacked Frank's temper over from red to plaid. Kevin daring to dodge him like this was simply the last straw, and he had decided he was going to fire Kevin. ...Except, despite trying all morning, he hadn't managed to actually reach Kevin to give him the news.
Frank being Frank, this had in no way deterred him. He had simply looked in Kevin's employee file and called the emergency contact. By the time I walked in, the proverbial shit had hit the fan and was well on its ballistic arc towards us in the form of Kevin's wife.
Yall. It's really important for this story that you have a mental picture of Kevin's wife. Essential, even.
Do y'all remember that 90's song 'All Star' by that band Smashmouth? Remember the lead singer? If you don't, it's okay. Just picture Guy Fieri instead. Now picture Guy Fieri/the Smashmouth dude dressed up as Xena: Warrior Princess. That's what she looked like. She was enormous. Not necessarily fat, but big. I bet she could crush a watermelon with her thighs, easy. (That's really a thing, by the way. You should probably Google it. Fuck it, here ya go )
Anyway, 'Xena' was surprised to hear that Kevin wasn't at work. She was even more stunned by what Frank had to say.
At roughly the same time this phone conversation was taking place at the RadioShack, another, weirder conversation was taking place in person across town. Out of exasperation, and to out-manuever Kevin completely, Frank had finally just sent his wife down to the police station...
...which went something like this: she walked in, and asked if any cops had been shot recently. I imagine there was a pregnant pause at the reception desk while it was hurriedly determined whether or not she was a threat or a crazy person. She asked again and was told that no, no one had been shot recently. She then asked to speak with Officer (Kevin's Cousin's Name) and lo and behold! he happened to be walking by at that exact moment, un-wounded, ambulatory, and utterly confused as to why anybody thought he'd been shot in the first place.
Perched behind the counter in the RadioShack, listening to Frank and his wife list the steps they had taken and the results of taking said steps, I actually felt kind of bad for Kevin. I mean, why would he do this?
Why would anyone make up such a ridiculous lie? What did he have to gain? And most mysteriously, why was he stealing to buy lunch when he brought his own lunch in? The whole thing was steeped in bizarre absurdity and I was beginning to lose perspective of the situation when the door-chime dinged and Kevin walked contritely into the store, followed by his strapping virago of a wife.
Y'all. Holy shit. I don't think that I will be able to properly describe what followed but I will do my best.
When I was a kid, there was a cartoon I saw once. Maybe it was part of a Disney movie, maybe a Bugs Bunny short, I don't really remember. But in it, a ginormous nanny-type woman drags a teensy man into a room by his ear to force him to apologize for something.
That's almost exactly what happened. Xena frog-marched Kevin into the RadioShack and made him apologize for stealing. She literally made him hand over an envelope with $600 in it. (The amount Frank calculated Kevin had stolen over six months.) And then she berated him for breaking the diet she had set for him.
I'm going to say that again. He broke the diet she had set for him. This ... veritable Amazon of a woman had set a caloric limit for this dude who was already so skinny that he could likely crawl through the holes in a chain-link fence. All of a sudden, it all made sense. All of it. Kevin was emasculated, hence the lies. Kevin was desperate and fucking starving, so he stole to feed himself. I was wrestling with my new-found understanding of all things Kevin when she told us the envelope was all of his 'allowance' money. At this point, I was entirely speechless. I could only gape witlessly at her.
Stealing a glance back at Frank, I could tell he was going through the very same emotional turmoil as I was.
In the uncomfortable silence, Kevin handed over his keys and mumbled something about it being great working with us and then they left.
With the possible exception of the first time I saw the cemetary scene in Steel Magnolias, I have never gone from one emotional extreme to the other so quickly. Where I had been affronted by his actions only minutes earlier, now I felt unimaginable regret and I could tell Frank felt the same way. Frank had held back from revealing that he'd had his wife visit the police station and he never even brought it up. He looked deflated; all the energy and momentum of the chase gone, replaced by utter shock and remorse.
Y'all, I bet you thought this story was going to have a happy ending. Or at least a funny one. I'm sorry to disappoint you. No happy ending here, just a cloudy moral lesson.
Kevin was fired and we never saw him again, though I insisted that Frank's wife go back down to the police station and tell Kevin's cousin everything we'd seen and heard. I felt that I owed him that much, being responsible for the initial phone call that had set everything in motion.
Yes, Frank and I learned much and more that day. That experience changed something in me. I'd like to think I'm a better person now.
Oh, I still laugh at Kevins, but I don't assume anything anymore. Oh, no. I've learned that everyone has a truth to tell, even if it comes swaddled in lies.

What is Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse About?
Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse is an animated, feature-length film based on Nintendo’s iconic video game property. Here’s the official synopsis from Universal Pictures

I posted this a while ago, and am posting it again, with added thoughts. I love this show, and have seen it 5 or 6 times through. It made a big impact on me, not just for the entertainment and mystery value, but spiritually as well. I have become consumed in the NDE world, and this is the only sub I go to now in terms of spirituality. I am a believer, and it just feels right to me. I have read a lot of mystical accounts as well.
I started thinking of the show again after getting into NDEs, and wanted to draw parallels with all the accounts I read. Now, these are obviously my subjective thoughts, and my own suppositions that the show contains elements drawn from NDE accounts, and that the creators of the show might possibly have done this in their knowledge of them as well. So a lot of this might be a stretch and I might be overthinking a lot of these things. And for anyone who has seen the show, keep in mind it was also lacking in some areas, maybe not well thought out or not allowed time to expand on things due to network demands, etc. Also kind of cheesy at times, let’s face it.
Anyway, here are my observations relating anything gleaned from NDEs/STEs/mystical, etc. with the show, for whatever it’s worth. So in no particular order:
The airline was called Oceanic (oneness, limitless, unbounded), a word and descriptive words thereof mentioned in many accounts
“You’re not done yet/you need to go back” quoted frequently in accounts was also used in the show in relation to ‘’The Island isn’t done with you yet” in that they still needed to perform some function or mission
The phrase that was spoken on the Island ‘’Welcome back to the land of the living’’ stood out for some reason, so I had to look it up, and one thing among a few that I found is it’s used in the bible to refer to a designated territory (Israel) given by God. So from that, in terms of the LOST in show universe, I could suppose maybe the Island was created purposely for all those specific people who came there and then it changed later on for the people chosen to go there as a big testing ground (via Jacob). Meh, who knows.
Course-correction by the universe. From the show, it’s the universe and the Island that course corrects, making sure whatever was supposed to happen, happened.
One image used throughout accounts is of a door into the light, hence the final scene of the show.
The use of the phrase ‘let go’ or ‘letting go’ during the show to the characters, which is something many experiencers have learned to do and work on after their NDEs.
In some NDE and mystical accounts we get told of the realization of the cosmic joke, suddenly understanding it was so simple and always in front of us. Plus of course, the feelings of Bliss and Love and Oneness. This made me think of Jack plugging back in the cork, while the energy and glow of the Source permeated him as he starts laughing/smiling/crying.
Which brings us to the Source itself, the Heart of the Island, containing water, bright golden light and electromagnetism. Also quoted as “life, death and rebirth” by Mother. “A little bit of this light is in every living thing”.
The Island itself could be a metaphor for something – maybe it’s created in a bubble, dimension, reality? I learned about pocket universes from Sandi T, maybe it’s that? An in between place?
Many accounts have talked about the tapestry of life, Indra’s Net aspects. In the show, there’s Mother’s and Jacob’s weaving of their own tapestry.
The color white is mentioned in many accounts, a pure or bright white. This is what we see when a part of the bomb goes off at the end of season 5. The screen goes to white for some reason. Maybe it represented death or passing on for them in some way. Maybe it implies they went to the afterlife plane at that point (that they all created for each other)?
Beeping/humming noises are mentioned by experiencers, which are heard throughout the show as well.
I have read of people seeing wheels in their journeys, and I think they said it relates to reincarnation or other timelines, correct me if I’m wrong. Of course there was the Donkey Wheel, which made them time travel.
I read a comment a while back in the sub, and someone mentioned the term ‘karass’, coined by Kurt Vonnegut, which means a group of people who are linked spiritually. Could apply that to soul groups/families, which we can suppose the Lostaways were.
I think I recall the mention of electromagnetism in accounts, if so, it is spaced out on the Island and in other places in the world in the show.
The phrase ‘’Don’t mistake coincidence for fate” and vice versa used in the show. The use of synchronicity in the show. Dreams/visions in the show. All things that experiencers talk about happening mainly after their experiences, sometimes before in their life.
Maybe there was a message to the use of the song ‘’Make Your Own Kind Of Music’’ by Mama Cass. Manifesting? Power of the mind? Just be yourself and love yourself? Life is what you make it?
The use of the number 108 all throughout the show, which is a sacred number in cultures and religions implying the wholeness of existence. It is also the divinity of time, where 1 is the singularity of the present, 0 is nothingness of past and 8 is infinity of future. As mentioned, this number implied many connections throughout the show of people, places and things.
Of course, the whole series is a journey of life’s challenges, what it means to be human, joys and hardships, forgiveness, redemption, duality, etc. It’s more of a grand metaphor for life on Earth. And if anyone has any thoughts on Jacob and Smokie/MIB, even the Island itself, then comment on that as well.
There has always been talk that fans caught on too quickly during the first season, and the producers had to retailor things because of it. What they caught onto was that they figured out the characters were all dead and in some type of purgatory. Not sure if the producers admitted to this or not, but it’s interesting to think about. I can sort of see how that would make sense if they kept going with that formula. A lot of the stuff on the show would have still worked in that context. Of course at the end, Christian says it was all real, but where they are now, ‘there is no now’, and everything before that was real and it all mattered.
That’s all for now folks. I realize this show can be applied in the same way to other spiritual arenas and concepts, but I tried to focus as best to NDE/STE. I also realize this show is not the best or go to example for revealing things or making an impact on the population, once again I am using it as it is one of my personal favorites.
I am not the smartest cookie, so if anyone else who loves the show wants to add anything to these points for more depth or add your own I didn’t mention, please feel free.

At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had other people raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in Spider Man Across the Spider Verse would be the beginning of “a new era” for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so on.As
Spider Man Across the Spider Verse neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above).
“I feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in Spider Man Across the Spider Verse , which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ's Spider Man Across the Spider Verse .)
“And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That's why you see in Spider Man Across the Spider Verse , we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there, too.So that's what I meant by the resetting.Maybe 'resetting' wasn't a good term.only
one can claim to be the most powerful superhero .And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it's his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise
. "By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie."And we made him this powerful.
There's nothing so wrong with “Spider Man Across the Spider Verse ” that it should be avoided, but nothing—besides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnson—that makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre's—and the business's—bad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. “Spider Man Across the Spider Verse ” feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero.
It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adults—and, in the process, for most of the naïve delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. Spider Man Across the Spider Verse ” offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title. When I was in Paris in 1983, Jerry Lewis—yes, they really did love him there—had a new movie in theaters. You're Crazy, Jerry."Spider Man Across the Spider Verse " could be retitled 'You're a Superhero, Dwayne'—it's the marketing team's PowerPoint presentation extended to feature length.
In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, “Spider Man Across the Spider Verse ” is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman. The cameo is likely to set up future showdowns between the two characters, but Hodge was completely unaware of it until he saw the film.
“They kept that all the way under wraps, and I didn't know until maybe a day or two before the premiere,” he recently said Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Wakanda Forever (2022) FULLMOVIE ONLINE

I realize I would probably have better luck asking some industry leaders in person but I've reached a point in my career where I can clearly see the path ahead of me for a few different career arcs. I'm a jack-of-trades but I've been working in the Federal contracting CybeDevOps/SWE space because it pays decently well. I have a path forward to move towards some decent leadership roles in the space and eventually a technical director or maybe startup-CTO/CISO type role. However, chasing corporate raises is kind of getting mundane and I want more freedom to choose my path. I don't want to work 60 hours a week for a 50% raise just to increase some corp's share price.
One path I see to this is to continue building my technical and leadership skills to succeed as a technical director more focused on producing architecture and solutions for proposals. Alternatively I could find a role with a smaller GovCon firm that's focused on emerging tech/software. I have a lot of career security so I'm not afraid to take a risk. I also enjoy the business/finance side of things so I'm not bent on staying 100% technical.
Another path is pooling my effort into learning more about the contracting industry and maybe attempting to kickoff my own subcontracting small business (I do a little reading on sam.gov & the SBA's site for what it's worth). As I've matured over time, I think my patience and drive is almost at a point where I could survive entrepreneurship and I'm trying to focus most of my corporate career development on contracting process.
I just wanted to see if anyone could provide some personal experience and perhaps how they ended up focusing on a specific outcome. Being honest, I am also driven to escape the corporate salary structure and feel a little more responsible for my own income. Thanks for any input.

I was just reading a post with a bunch of gumbies talking about losing weight to send harder. What's the point of being in a sub about climbing hard when you do things to make climbing softer? Recently I started a training plan to wear weighted clothes like Goku did that one time in DBZ and I ended up just leaving them on instead of taking them off because now that I'm accustomed to climbing like a jacked gorilla it would be aid to take them off at this point. I'm pretty sure that's why taking your shirt off makes it easier to send.

I (23F) was asked to be in a wedding about a year and a half to 2 years ago. The bride (23 F) and I grew up together in the sense of attending the same schools and graduated together. I remember for certain we had the same 1st grade teacher and senior year of high school we cheered together for the basketball season. We were never super close and didn’t hang out with each other in our free time.
At a softball tournament we had hung out during games and she had asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I wasn’t really sure but said yes anyway. After agreeing I come to find out there were many people prior to me that had backed out, were just expected to be a bridesmaid without consent and people were replaced. I was a replacement. During wedding discussion we were told to purchase a specific dress, it was very pretty long sleeve lace, but was beautiful for a smaller body. I am a big girl that holds most weight in my midsection so it would not have been a dress I would have chosen for myself or been comfortable with but would have sucked it up, as I was not given the decision of the dress. She then changed the bridesmaids dress, same thing good dress for smaller bodies, uncomfortable for me but whatever.
Then she changes the dress again. This time it was a dress I ironically wore for my sisters wedding just a different color. I was JACKED! So I confirmed with bride that this was the dress, no more changing, she said yes. So ordered it, sized down like I knew I needed to, got it, paid for it and it fit perfect!!!
Fast forward a few months and bride asks us if we had ordered and received our dresses. Bridesmaids 1-6 said no. I was the only one with my dress. Then I received the news that said dress was no longer available. So the dress changed AGAIN. The next dress was HIDEOUS and again, not for bigger bodies. Thankfully the bride and another bridesmaid split the bill to replace my dress which I was thankful for. At this point I am done, I am so frustrated with the bride for changing the dress 4 times but also with the bridesmaids for not having their shit together and getting their dresses. Fast forward to closer to the wedding when we are discussing, more being told, when bridal shower and bachelorette party is. I had to ask for the location of all of these and didn’t know the venue for the wedding until I found it in their wedding website. I feel as if this is information you should let your bridal party know months priowhen you know the locations of things so they can budget and be prepared for traveling, expenses, time off work etc.
Now we are here and I knew the bride was paying for our hair but didn’t know about makeup. I asked bride if there was someone I could pay to do my makeup (I do not wear any makeup besides mascara to special events, other than that none, so I can’t do my own makeup) she said maybe her artist could do it, I declined not wanting to put a wrench in the plans and take time away from the bride but offered my sister do it. She didn’t comment on me finding another option and she responds, “well maybe I’ll have time”. So I am stressed about the possibility of not having makeup for the wedding. Then we talk about the bachelorette party next weekend and we were asked if we could go. Thinking, yeah it’s in my home town, I can stay with my mom, will get to see my family and don’t have to stay out all night, I can go for a few hours and go home (I don’t party or get drunk often, it’s not my “vibe” and I hate feeling like shit the next morning) I agree and THEN am hit with, it’s 60 dollars for the hotel and 120 for the party bus (300 total for hotel 150 per hour for party bus) and for someone that is returning to school and saving and paying for my own wedding, and already struggle financially, I broke down. I bawled and I was so scared about my own financial stability and I was so done with minds changing, last minute expenses, and just expecting things from us without discussing them with the bridesmaids first. So I told the bride I would unfortunately not be able to attend the wedding. I told her I can’t control when things happen, and I accepted a job I need to save money to return back to school and live paycheck to paycheck already and can’t afford lots of luxury or travel for both bach party and wedding. I told her I would reimburse her and the bridesmaid who purchased my dress so I did. She never responded to me and said she got the money. She then asked for the bridesmaid proposal box back and I said I couldn’t because I had used items because I didn’t know I’d have to return it at a point in time. She responds “Perfect. K thanks.” So then I felt like I was wrong and do still feel terrible but this wedding was making me so upset and gave me so much anxiety because of not knowing hardly anything. After thinking it was done and over with, she messages me again and asks me if I can send her the bridesmaid dress. At this point I think she’s going to try and replace me asking for the box and the dress back (here were 7 bridesmaids including me and only 6 groomsmen, another reason I didn’t feel 100% ahole) I then tell her she can return my money and I would be happy to. She didn’t respond and I haven’t talked to her since. Am I the asshole?

I had what amounted to a 5 min Zoom call with a doctor at One Medical. The initial bill was $225, but I realized my insurance information wasn't in the system. My plan is a HDHP. After inputting it into the system, I got billed about $550 (the total claim was $675). I told them I would obviously just like to pay out of pocket given the price difference, but they now refuse to do that.
Additionally, I was absent minded when filling the insurance info and forgot that (due to reasons) I have another active insurance plan that is not HDHP (but for which One Medical is out of network). I asked them to run the claim through that, and they said they can do that only by using this insurance as a secondary. So I'm not sure if that will work.
I have informed them I refuse to pay the price of almost $600 since I was originally informed the price was $225. What mechanisms (legal or otherwise) do I have at my disposal here to fight this? I'm pretty adamant that this is bullshit and I am ready to dispute it however necessary.
(And, yes, I understand I have an HDHP and signed up for high bills until I meet deductible, that is not the point -- it just sounds absurd that they can just decide to jack up the price for 3x from what was originally informed for the same service. If the original price had been high already I would not complain.)

I bought a 2013 sedan a little over a year ago and have been using my mom's insurance because it's a $200-300 difference. In fact my dad and my brother's cars are also under her insurance, but recently AllState jacked up our premium insanely high and I'm considering to get insurance under my name. A random insurance broker I found off of Google Maps quoted me $469/mo for 12 months, which is $349 more than what I've been paying. I'm currently paying rent, groceries & part of my college tuition with financial aid. I can't afford an extra $300+/mo.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any advice? Should I have my mom go through an insurance broker and ditch AllState? Would a different broker give me a significantly lower premium?
EDIT: A 2nd broker asked for proof of my mom's insurance by AllState. This is for a insurance policy under my name. She said it's for the underwriter to verify who's driving the vehicle. Can someone explain what this means?

It surprises me how much Jack and Joe blow off any type of UFO story as someone with mental health problems. I thought at this point most people have some type of acknowledgment of UFO’s. Am I wrong on this? I am one to explore the weird often so I might just be way out of touch with the norm. 🤷‍♀️

Kristi Suzanne Krebs was born on December 29, 1970 and lived in Fort Bragg, California with her parents. Kristi graduated from high school in 1989 and went straight to work at a local Round Table Pizza full time. Little else seems to be known about Kristi's early years.
Kristi was usually an upbeat person that worked very hard, and this extended to her workplace. However, it soon became clear that Kristi had begun to develop a very unhealthy obsession with a male coworker who was married. Unsolved Mysteries referred to this as an "unhealthy obsession." On April 30, 1990 (three years prior to her going missing), Kristi's coworkers described her as "unnaturally euphoric," and was fantasizing about a wedding and having kids (presumably with the married male coworker, but this is unclear). After work, Kristi drove around town aimlessly and eventually ended up in a forested area. Kristi's car ended up being stuck in the mud. Kristi kept gunning the engine to get the car unstuck, which caused the engine to overheat, which in turn caused the car to catch on fire. Kristi obviously became panicked, causing her to have a trauma educed mental breakdown.
The morning after this event, railroad workers found Kristi wandering around, dazed and disoriented. One of these railroad workers recognized Kristi and called her parents. Kristi's came to pick her up, initially wanting to take Kristi home, but while in the car, Kristi kept chanting, patting herself and just "acting weird." So they took Kristi to the hospital, where according to a Medium article, "she spent the next four weeks recovering in a private mental facility, though it would take several months before her memory completely returned." But after this initial hospital stay, Kristi was in and out of the hospital where doctors would diagnose her with a trauma educed psychotic break. At one point in her treatment, an occupational therapist recommended that Kristi start off her recovery by only going back to work part time, about twenty hours a week.
At first this arrangement seemed to be going well, but then Kristi began working "more and more," even taking on a second job at a local Burger King. Due to the two jobs, sometimes Kristi was working up to 12 hours a day. Kristi's parents also noted that she didn't seem to be sleeping very much and was going to the gym a lot. And again, Kristi began seeming very happy with her life. Kristi's father would state that these things made him wonder if Kristi's mental health was going downhill again.
Despite this new hectic pace, Kristi seemed okay, so her parents didn't want to worry. At one point, one of Kristi's managers asked her why she was so happy, and she responded "it's not what you think." Kristi did not explain further and went back to work. At around 10pm on August 9, 1993, Kristi left work in "high spirits," and told her coworkers that she'd be heading home. However, Kristi did not end up going home and began driving around.
The next time that Kristi was seen was by a park ranger at McKerricher State Park, just north of Fort Bragg, at around 10:30pm. He spotted Kristi's red Toyota Tercel parked in the lot, so he went to go speak to the driver--which was Kristi. The ranger asked Kristi if she was okay and that the state park's lot closed a half hour before, so she needed to leave. Kristi told the ranger that she was relaxing after work and if she could stay. The ranger replied that she could not stay, and Kristi said she'd leave. This ranger would later tell police that the interaction was friendly and that Kristi seemed okay.
After this encounter, Kristi drove south through Fort Bragg, headed towards the small town of Mendocino. Kristi ended up in Mendocino Woods State Park, where she continued to drive a remote dirt road near a creek bed. And like three years before, her car became stuck and she began revving the engine to make the car start again, which again caused the car to catch fire. A car jack would later be found near her car, which lead authorities to believe that she attempted to jack up the tires to get the car going (admittedly I don't drive, so I don't know if I explained that correctly). When this didn't work, it apparently made Kristi angry, and she began bashing the car hood with a rock. She then took out her wallet, shredded the pictures inside and ripped out the car stereo.
Kristi had been wearing jeans and her work shirt when she left her job, but both of these items were found in the backseat of the car. It is believed that Kristi took them off because they'd gotten wet in her attempts to free the car. Kristi kept gym clothes in her car, so it is believed that she changed into those. When Kristi didn't come home, her parents reported her missing and a full scale search was launched. The Mendocino County Sheriff's Department searched the area surrounding Kristi's car and even an air rescue squad helped in the effort. The search of the park went on for a week, but nothing was found.
Kristi's family and authorities believe that she may be out there somewhere, with memory loss. There have been sightings of Kristi after she vanished, one of the first sightings was by a woman who claimed to have seen a woman resembling Kristi attempting to hitchhike. There were also sightings from Texas to Salt Lake City, Utah. However, there are two sightings that the police believe are the most legitimate. One occurred in March 1994 in Humboldt County (north of Fort Bragg), a woman who's daughter was a classmate of Kristi's claimed to have seen Kristi along Highway 101. When the woman called out to "Kristi," she turned and walked back into the woods.
The other sighting happened in June 1994. An off duty highway worker named Mike Case picked up a female hitchhiker in Visalia California, 300 miles south of where Kristi vanished. According to Mike, this woman "didn't seem to have it all there," and was in "a world of her own," and at first thought she may be on some kind of drugs. But as he began talking with her, Mike noticed tow slash marks on her wrist. When Mike asked about it, the woman responded that she'd had a breakdown and a boyfriend that "wasn't very nice." Mike and this woman were in the car together for about 90 minutes where the woman spoke about a boyfriend that seemed fake, having relatives in San Jose and liking the ocean. These things seemed true to Kristi's parents. Mike dropped Kristi off in Hanford, California and didn't think anymore about the encounter until he saw Kristi's picture in a trucking magazine. Mike contacted Kristi's parents, who sent more photos of Kristi and it was the woman Mike said he saw.
There has been one more sighting of Kristi, also by a woman named Alicia who picked up a hitchhiker in August 1993, two days after Kristi vanished. The woman who picked up this hitchhiker woman told authorities she picked up the woman near Salt Lake City, Utah. Alicia said the woman identified herself as "Kris," and Alicia only picked her up because she was standing at a dangerous spot on the side of the road. When "Kris," got into Alicia's car, she said "you're looking at the happiest girl in the world!" Apparently this was something Kristi said on a regular basis. Kris also began telling Alicia that she'd fallen in love with a trucker and she was meeting him in Amarillo Texas so they could get married. And when Alicia dropped off this woman off at a McDonald's in Park City, Kris said "Burger King is better."
There have been no other confirmed (or unconfirmed) sightings of Kristi Krebs. When Kristi vanished, she was 22 years old, 5'2 and around 140 pounds. She has brown hair and blue eyes and her thumbs curve inward. Kristi had been suffering from emotional distress with symptoms like amnesia before she vanished.

Hey everyone, so i’m probably dumb for making this post so late. But anyway, I recently got a speeding ticket for going 45 in a 25 in the state of Georgia. I have court tomorrow at the municipal court and I’m not sure what to plea.
I’m uninterested in hiring a lawyer and just would like some friendly advice.
I (20M) did have one other ticket on my record for Following too Closely. I was 17 years old at the time and rear ended into a vehicle, and went to court twice due to being given an extension until I turned to the age of 18. I’m about 90% sure that I used my “NOLO” or no contest plea which is only allowed to be used once every 5 years in Georgia.
With that said, and I’ll probably find out tomorrow anyway if I used my NOLO or not. But let’s say that I did use it, what are my options? An officer at my job today suggested that I ask for my speed to be reduced to 14 over, which doesnt put any points on my license. My main concern is I don’t want my insurance rates to jack up. If anyone has any advice it would be GREATLY appreciated, Thanks.

I have a very severe issue with not being able to breathe or anything involving my throat. Genuinely, it creates the most possible panic in my body, to the point where simple things like trying to scuba dive or having a numbing agent sprayed in the back of my throat cause me to uncontrollably shake and have a complete panic response.
This isn't because of how safe or not I think these things are. It is a completely visceral reaction, one I can't voluntarily control. Every time I tell someone about my bodily reaction to these things, they laugh at me and tell me it'll be fine and to stop worrying until inevitably minutes later they're dragging my useless body out of the water or I've ripped out dental putty, thrown it at them, and vomited in their lap.
My general practitioner just told me that everyone who gets the surgery is intubated and that it's heavily likely I'll be awake for a long time before they remove it.
Anyone have experiences here? I'd almost rather have a surgeon do this with a rusty katana, a bottle of Jack Daniels, and something to bite down on than be intubated.

What is Tunnel Engineering?

Underground construction and tunnel engineering are genuinely interdisciplinary processes, requiring knowledge and skills from civil engineering, geological engineering, and mining engineering, as well as mechanical engineering, geophysics, electrical engineering, geology, etc.
📷
Students must learn to design, build, rehabilitate, and maintain structures peculiar to the underground space, and the use of tunnels for commercial, transportation, water, wastewater, and utility, etc in addition to typical construction procedures.

What is the purpose of the Tunnel?

Tunnels are passages beneath the ground that are utilized for transportation. They might be used to transport freight and passengers, as well as water and sewage. Beyond a certain depth, tunnels are more cost-effective than open cuttings. During the construction stage, tunnels normally undisturbed the surface activities like live traffic, open recreational activities, etc.
Tunnels are considered to be less expensive than bridges or open steep earthwork cuttings for highway projects or transporting public utility services such as water and wastewater or gas line. The inability of these structures to be built out of natural resources such as rock and soil leads to their failure.
Geological factors are expected to play a significant effect on their long-term stability. Aspects that are extremely important are such as ground and sub-ground conditions, construction sequencing, construction period, construction cost, etc. All these factors play a very important role in determining the feasibility of a tunnel project.

What is Tunnel design?

Accepting the inherent ambiguity linked with subterranean conditions that can be defined but never really known is a prerequisite for the tunnel design and construction process.
A typical tunnel project starts from the exploration of suitable ground conditions and then testing the engineering parameters, then moves to the selection process of tunnel excavation methods, then moves to the development of liner design parameters, and estimating surface settlements, and finally covers their effects on adjacent structures.
It uses various case studies of successfully executed completed projects to frame out the risks and mitigation strategies, lesson learned activities for the proposed project.

What are the methods of Tunneling?

Cut and Cover Method

Shallow tunnels are often built using the cut and cover method of tunnel construction. This approach involves excavating a trench in the ground and covering it with support capable of supporting the load. There are two methods for the cut and cover method. One is the bottom-up method, in which a tunnel is excavated beneath the surface and supported by the ground.
Another way is the top-down method, in which the side support walls are built first, either via slurry walling or contiguous bored piling. The roof is then installed on top of the walls, and excavation is completed. Finally, the base slab is built. The majority of underground metro rail stations are built utilizing the cut-and-cover approach.

Bored Tunnel Method

The method of using a bored tunnel is cutting-edge expertise. Tunnel boring machines are used for this method, which works automatically and makes the entire tunnelling procedure easier. It is also a more efficient and effective way of tunnel construction in urban, heavy trafficked locations where traffic diversion, and traffic management during construction is a highly difficult and expensive task.
Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) come in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet various ground conditions. These machines can work in challenging environments, such as below the water table. TBM can work in below-water-table circumstances because of a specific pressurized container.

Clay Kicking Method

This procedure is utilized when there is a lot of clay in the soil. This is a traditional approach that is still used for little jobs such as installing sewage pipes. In this procedure, a hole is dug into the earth, and then a depth tunnel is constructed by the clay kicker, which is mounted on a plank at a 450 angle. Under the clay kicker foot, there is a digging tool.
This is well-known since it was the method employed by Englishmen during World War I to bury mines.

Shaft Method of Tunnel Construction

In this method, the tunnel is constructed at a greater depth from the ground surface. The shaft is placed to a depth where the tunnel is required. The shaft is a long-term construction that works well with concrete walls. TBMs are deployed to excavate tunnels to the appropriate depth.
Tunnels have shafts at both ends. If the tunnel is excessively long, intermediate shafts are constructed. These shafts can be utilized for ventilation purposes and for emergency exits once the construction of the tunnel is completed.

Pipe Jacking Method

The pipe jacking method is recommended to build tunnels beneath existing facilities such as roads and railways. Hydraulic jacks are deployed to drive specifically designed pipes into the ground. Tunnels can have a maximum diameter of 3.2 meters.

What are the different types of tunnels?

Tunnels can be grouped into three main categories based on their intended use:

• Tunnels for traffic
• Tunnels for hydropower
• Tunnel for public utilities

Tunnel for traffic

Tunnels are constructed to transfer traffic load from surface to subsurface channels for a brief period of time in order to facilitate congestion-free traffic movements. Traffic tunnels are structures that allow traffic to move at a chosen pace, with optimum ease, and at a minimal cost.
There are three types of traffic tunnels:

• Railway tunnels,
• Highway tunnels, and
• Pedestrian tunnels.

Tunnel for Hydropower

These tunnels are constructed for hydropower generating, as the name suggests. They are hammered into rocks, allowing gravity to convey the water.

Tunnel for Public Utility

These tunnels are constructed for a specific function, such as the disposal of municipal trash, the transportation of pipelines, cables, and oil supplies, as well as water. In today's heavily populated cosmopolitan cities, they are also constructed for underground parking and storage.
