Hi sub, it's your friendly neighborhood mod RandomePerson.
While I didn't create this sub, I was the first active mod and have been here for about four years, give or take. During this time I've seen this sub grow from a literal handful of people to our current roster of over 37,000 people! It's bittersweet; on the one hand, I am glad that we seem to be getting out useful and realistic information regarding pitbull-type dogs, but at the same time it grieves me deeply to know that so many of you have been victims of or negatively impacted by these dogs. Two steps forward and one step back, as they say.
On the topic of steps, I will be taking a very large one of my own soon. I write as a hobby, and the last 1-2 years has seen some of my short stories, and more recently a novella, appear in a few anthologies. I've been working on a full novel, and the synopsis and first five chapters have been floated around some writers' circles. I've been invited to join an exclusive writer's workshop, and will be assigned a mentor. I also have a deadline for completing and cleaning up the first draft of my novel so that an associate in the editing world can low-key shop it around. Needless to say, this is an amazing opportunity for me, and I'm not going to waste it.
There are only so many minutes in a day. Between work, family, a social life, working out, hobbies, and staying active in my community, I've always found myself wishing that I had more time to devote to moderating this subreddit. Despite this, I managed to get some good quality time in, and for the pasts several months, I've also had the joy of working with a truly kick-ass mod team. But now I anticipate that most of my free time will go towards obsessing over the book I am writing. I've got to make time somewhere, and after ranking my responsibilities, moderating this subreddit is one of the items on the chopping list.
Is this a permanent goodbye? Not quite. I want to focus on taking advantage of the opportunity I have, but I do care about every single person on this sub, and I care about my fellow mods, so I will arrange to be on-hand if we're dealing with a severe brigade. The mod team will know how to reach me if needed. As to when I will come back, that depends on how well the book turns out, and if it manages to get picked up by a publisher.
I plan on "retiring" on Jan 1 (or thereabouts). The new head mod will be announced within the next two weeks.
It has been an odd pleasure moderating this s

Well, after having to sell my bag, I can happily say that I'm back over a billion egc. Just gonna keep adding week by week. Feels good to be back in it
So, simple yes complicated question. Lol How do u breakup with someone? I've never done it! Its been 4 years and im just at the end of it. I've shifted my outlook and began looking at the family I could possibly marry into, his ways, finances etc and im just like meh. Its been draining more so than anything.
I can tell it will break his heart if I leave, but waiting on him to grow Nd mature is too much for me.
I know I have a lot of growing to do myself and im not perfect, but its just it anymore..
What can I do and/or how do I let go.
Sure it's exciting to see all the cars being picked up and rolling in to dealerships. But the rest of us are moving up too. I started at #1334 with a build of June 21 2022. Today I got an email saying I'm at #1281 in line and due for some time in May. But what is it with Hyundai and dates? My email delivered on Dec 17 2021 says November 17 2021.

At the end of the day, was can always support Eddy, even if the podcast has been forever tainted. If you’re looking for a Gus And Eddy alternative, The Chuckle Sandwich Podcast with Ted Nivison, Schlatt, and Slimecicle is worth your time. If you know of other Gus And Eddy style podcasts put them in the comments, it truly is a sad day for all of us, but much more so for Gus and Eddy and Sabrina I’m sure.
I have a bit of cash, and want to upgrade my audio setup.
Currently have an AT-120LP turntable with stock cartridge. Play it through Denon AVR-X4400H receiver (which does have a phono input).
I'm working in Canadian dollars, with about $1000 to $1200 to spend. Looking at a few options:
-
Fluance RT85 ($625 CDN) plus Cambridge Audio Alva Duo preamp ($469), then played through a normal line in on the receiver.
-
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo ($800) plus Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 preamp ($259) and normal line in on receiver.
-
Pro-Ject Debut Pro ($1099), run through the Denon phono input.
Thoughts/advice/suggestions???
Since my transition from IT to Locksmithing has mostly been to expand as I can afford to so that some day I can ditch IT (21 years has been way toooooooo long) and Locksmith full time. So this week I ordered an xhorse condor dolphin. I've been getting more and more auto calls so it was time.
What are some vin-to-key companies everyone uses?
I was really happy to hear it in the background of the broadcast when the final whistle blew. I can’t recall if we had played it after the win against Norwich
Hey, title basically explains it. Coming from saskatoon. Anything good to know about the city?
Man oh man....imagine dropping a zero come the weekend. I hope everyone keeps loading up.
