Part 1
"When we Firmas were pushed north into the Pyrimian mountain valley after the death of their chain of command, they settled down and instead of focusing on expansion focused on necessities like food. With co-operation from the first goblins and other creative minds that joined the First Wave of the migration, they managed to grow food over the summer in first-iteration greenhouses. "My parents were part of the first wave. They were old for a couple, but joined the Firma clan in founding a government and keeping the area safe, as well as spreading word. The dragonic gods didn't like their behavior at all; cities burning is more entertainment for them, so they were the first to be Forsaken in this era, publicly, in the main square of the old Dragonic Capital. "However, that backfired, with more and more dragons tired of running around and fighting all the time, they decided to settle down in a place where nobody would bother them; now that they had this place given to them, and the Second Wave started. Basically the entirety of the dragonic clans and several other species amassed in this wave, and the Sapient Unification Government held. "My parents had an egg in one of the more northern caves, right on the coast. Then, the third wave arrived and everything went downhill from there. "The Unification Wars were fought between those who wanted one government to cover this region, and those who wanted governments segregated by species. This would have been fine if the secessionists didn't step in on people's behalves, without their consent; it took fifteen years of war for the war to end. Millions died and some species like the Snow Fox beastpeople almost went extinct. My parent were part of the death wave. "The war evolved so rapidly it was impossible for a commander to last more than two months. It started with sticks and stones and within a month there were arrow volleys. A year saw guns, two tanks, three battleships, four planes. Bombs, bigger bullets, bigger guns, bigger bombs. "In the last few months of the war, the first nuclear devices were used, creating miniature stars on the land with immense destructive potential unleashed. It ended with mutually assured destruction protocols being activated, and when all was said and done the land was a snow-fallen irradiated dustball. "It took years for the survivors to pick up the remnants of our short-lived civilization and restart it into the Terra Firma Sapience Union. All the time, my egg didn't hatch because I had no incubator, but didn't die thanks to my ice type. It was located close enough to a mana vein where I just... absorbed the entire vein. When the cave was found by explorers following maps for my parents den, all they found was my egg glowing brighter than Sunstones. "I was taken to an incubation facility in Cellyia, one of the bigger cities. There I hatched, and after more than one test I grew. My growth was still... affected by the time without an incubator, so my already slow growth stopped after fifty years instead of continuing to infinity. And then I took some magic courses, did my best to drain my mana reserves, and settled down here, well away from... the bustle of Cellyia. It never quite felt like a home, you know. It was a good place to grow up, don't get me wrong, but I like it here better. Remote, and in the same place my parents met for the first time. As much as I can tell, anyway; a number of records were destroyed in the Unification War. "When your heroes continued to come up here, I would be the one on first guard. Damming a river, I used water magic to break it. Trying to destroy some transit infrastructure, I would be the first one to either fake it, finish it off, or lure them away. When your latest one decided to head for Cellyia, it was out of my range for such activities. I shadowed the party on the way and let others take care of it. "I never thought that your 'heroes' would be heartless enough to burn what they were told and even acknowledged as a hospital with patients inside. A library and museum with most of our pre-unification works inside. An orphanage, a school... an entire neighborhood of ten thousand citizens' homes. What for? To try to kill just one of us. "We... couldn't take that kind of behavior. Cellyia might have not been the best place for someone with my personality to grow up, especially without parental figures, but that orphanage still had some good memories. An all-citizens vote was called, an all-citizens vote was passed, and we started a counter-offensive military campaign into your Civilization Nations. We've been waiting for you elves, leaders of the Civilized Nations, to advance your society; it's been seven hundred years, all the most you've done is grow your population and add an extra floor to your townhomes. "So we're going to do it for you. You ran our patience down, so we're going to change your society for you. Is it a repeat of the Unification War? I don't think so, given that you Civilized Nations never rescinded the declaration of war against us 'monsters' over two thousand years ago; one that you still follow through on to this day. "But that isn't the end of my story. "When the gods forsook us, they tried to pry away our magic, our land, and our lives. So we defended. Space radars monitor their movements on the mortal plane. There's so many more technical details I can go into. All I can tell you is, at one point, the old god of Dragonic Princess-kidnapping; yes, they were a god; they came and asked us to restart worshiping them. "That went over as well as you'd expect, and the next thing that happened... was that I absorbed her mana and powers. Technically, I am an undefined god, and... at this point, I'm afraid to get a definition. "What if it's something I don't like? Something evil, immoral... something my parents, the leaders of the Second Wave, wouldn't be proud of? What if... what if it kills me? Everyone hates me? I'd no longer be free... "So my solution was to hide. Here, in a mountain cave in the middle of nowhere. This is my life, all of it... and I don't know where to go from here." ----- "So... you're a god?" I asked. I couldn't think of another question to ask. "Yes and no." The cat replied. It did nothing to satisfy my fearful curiosity. How could one both be and not be a god? "Princess-kidnapping was a... niche god, rarely prayed to by still enough to be, you know, and actual deity. So her mana ran out first, and most of it dissipated back into the environment yada yada yada, but like the sponge my mana reserves are, I sucked more of it up than I should have; enough to had just a slight touch of divine control. On par with a low-level demigod. If I was omnipresent, I'd solve me problems with a snap of my claws, and then I wouldn't be hiding from my problems here." "If your powers came from a god, how are yours undefined?" My mind was seeking knowledge now. I was a mage, after all, and this was more than just the opportunity of a lifetime; it was the opportunity of a aeon. "Because I absorbed her essence from the environment before it had the chance to fully dissipate, but still late enough where it was no longer hers." Vixie shrugged "Or something like that, mana gets weird sometimes. All that matters now is my stockpile is slowly increasing its grow rate, which gets annoying pretty fast." "Annoying?" The cat laughed again. "Do you think this is all of my baseline reserve? Half of the reason I stay away from the rest of society is because the last time someone with multiple aura got involved with politics..." She trailed off, and then let another, this time impeccably cast illusion fall. The air around her was burnt crisp with the power of several mandatory auras in her current small size. Twelve tails flicked behind her back, eleven of them made of energy. Floating specs of light, some smaller while others the size of ice crystals surrounded the air around her. The six orbs on her back were joined by six more, and were attached to a ring. Her head had two halos, and her entire body was engraved with glowing lines. If she before radiated power, now she was made of it. The lights on the cave's ceiling flickered as more and more of the illusion fell away. Geometric shapes orbiting her body, a platform made of mana at her feet, lightning whizzing between all sorts of objects. Finally, it was gone, and the cat that stared at me with big, sad, glowing blue eyes had told me her deepest secret. As soon as it had started, the illusion repaired itself, and before me was one cat, a halo, six orbs, two crystals, and two mana tails. I did the second most instinctive thing when it came to seeing a cat. I pulled her in for a hug. There was a quickly quieted hiss as she squirmed a bit in my grip, trying to get more comfortable, before letting herself get stroked by me. Several images flashed before my eyes, and a tear came out of mine. We had gone to war against the less lucky sapients on our world, and were now paying the price. It felt like hours, but then my stomach growled, reminding me I hadn't eaten in literal days. Vixie shot out of my grip and led the way down into the cave. I followed, and soon enough I was eating some salted crackers with dried meat and cheese while Vixie moved around between other caves. "What are you doing?" I asked her between bites. "Packing," She replied. "Why?" "It's time I got out of here and, to follow the phrase, touched some grass." ----- It took three days for the elf, whose name was Nick, to recover enough to be able to make the journey to Cellyia. In those three days, I realized just how - and why - the Civilized Races looked at us the way they did. For starters, I'd forgotten just how many things ran on electricity, let alone other, more complicated mechanics. Pressurized water, instant hot water, even sinks, showers, and toilets were all completely unknown to the 'civilized races.' Ah, yes. Civilized without toilet paper. Bitter ramblings about the people who set off the chain reaction of events that killed my family aside, those were the second longest three days of my life; the first was my thirteenth birthday so I could get a personal HUD and social media. I was also a mess of thoughts. The elf had shown me, over the course of the three days - aside from the two-minute get-my-life-together moment - that I couldn't hide from my problems forever, or they would team up and try to hunt me. Hence my new, reluctant guest from the overflowing hospital they had oh-so-nicely delivered to my door. I had words for the medical staff. And I was also a mess of thoughts. Did I mention that one already. In all seriousness, Nick adapted to electronics pretty well. All I had to do was explain what it was, what it did, and file it under the name of science. It took an impressive four minutes of rambling about quantum mechanics before Vick realized that he was in way over his head asking how the 'magic rock that can half-think with bottled lightning' worked. He backed out when I yanked a textbook from my knowledge hoard and flipped through the pages to the start to explain how quantum superposition affected the set of particles it was entangled to. Fun. Finding out what toothbrushes were took some convincing, but soon the elf's teeth started to recover from lack of proper dental care. Food was easier than I expected, and Vick was pretty accepting of whatever I tossed on his plate. Except for artichokes, for some reason he hated those. Over the three days we bonded, and Nick got pretty used to life in my home. On the second day I moved him to the guest bedroom I had built but never maintained, but one wave of my paw and a splurge of magic later that was solved. "Why don't you use magic more often?" Nick asked. I explained that was much as I wanted to burn my reserves like they were a forest before a forest fire, the mental strain was tough without learning proper casting, which requires one to drain their reserves to practice wielding physical willpower. That meant that I was caught in an infinite loop of negativity, so I could only get away with a couple spells a day before the mental exhaustion metaphorically turned my brain to mush. On the morning of the fourth day, we left. Honestly, Nick could have left on the first day but I wanted him to be able to have the stamina to walk around for hours on end with me in Cellyia. Either way, as long as he kept by me it would be fine. There was a small population of elves, humans, and dwarves who had come up to the TFSU for one reason or another and never left, which meant that he wouldn't be too far out of place. My plan, instead of just flying into the Cellyia while steering clear of the airport, was to make it to the closest town, Lymian, and take a train from there north to Union Station. It would dump us a bit further downtown than I liked, but Cellyia was built in levels, and I could take the footpath level to wherever I needed. All said and done and one passenger seat clipped to my saddlebag harness on my dragon form, I opened the door to my cave. And was promptly blocked by a wall of snow. "Right," I half-grumbled. I enjoyed tunneling through snow, but spray would make the entrance cave wet and that wouldn't dry for another couple days, and until it did the sound of drips would echo throughout my home like nothing else. Either way, checking one last time that Nick was secure, I prepared my wings and powered forward. The snow and ice parted for me, and then melted and fixed itself back together behind me as I power-swam through the snow the same way I would through water. After ten seconds of this, I burst up from the snow-covered mountain the snowstorm had left behind and started to change my heading for Lymian. It would take thirty minutes of flying to get there, as I was flying lower and slower than usual to take care of my passenger, but we soon enough turned the next mountain and saw the town. The elf gasped as he took in the sights, while I kept my eye out for more activity. It had been fortified as a military base due to the war, but not by much; the town was useless from a defensive standpoint anyway. I spotted the next train arriving from its winding track around the next mountain, which also meant that I was a bit early. The citizens of Lymian were used to my presence, as I usually stopped by to pick up supplies and occasionally a bit of correspondence. So when I landed on top of a several story tall snow pile, nobody cared. I let Nick out, and then transformed into my cat form and slid down the snow pile to start to jogging towards the train station. That's when I remembered that unlike me, elves without snowshoes do not float on snow. Oops. ----- The sights were more than pretty, more than beautiful... If the gods had rejected these people, they might have just as well done it out of jealousy. After I'd been dropped off on top of a snow mound, I immediately flattened myself on my stomach to not fall through. I'd been in more than enough snowstorms and snow mounds to know how it would go if I didn't. The cat climbed the hill below me, reappearing as naturally as the snow fell. "Sorry," Vixie apologized. "Here, let me..." I felt the snow melt around me and we descended down to the ground. Vixie glowed brightly, literally; Even using as little magic as reshaping some snow was threatening to cascade out of her form. We moved to the train station without incident, where the massive 'train cars' were loaded full of passengers and cargo and then taken off towards the big city. Apparently this was the same one the hero burned, but the 'rebuilding and recovery efforts we going well; no critical infrastructure had been severely damaged.' Either way, the ride there was uneventful. Stepping out into Union Station was different. It was like I had entered a busy capital marketplace or square, with everyone rushing in another direction to another place. I trailed after Vixie, where even the oddity of an elf in these mountains was outshone by just how many different races there were; beastkin and kobolds and orcs and undead all filled the streets in, well, peace. "The city is built in layers," Vixie explained. "So while yes, residential and office towers here in the capital were set alight, underground public transit, personal transit, and cargo and fluid transit was all untouched, so we were able to circle around the hero and put out the fires to be replaced with smoke generators, and a couple holograms snatched from a nearby cargo transport." I had no idea what any of that meant, only that the city also had extensive underground bits. The towers soared over everything, and lights covered every spare centimeter of the city. Vixie led me down market stalls, across plazas, through parks and through building lobbies. Eventually, the babble increased, something I didn't think was possible. "Welcome to the commercial district," Vixie said after she had pulled me into a corner away from the masses of people and crowds moving around. "We're right near the harbor, and when we get there I'm going to show you the lighthouse and explain the city a bit better." I almost lost track of Vixie as we continued to move through the throngs of people going about their daily lives. I saw a couple boarded up shops, but most of them were either undamaged or didn't care about the scorch marks on their shops. Jewelry boutiques and grocery stores lived in tandem with furniture stores and a massive slab of too-smooth-to-be-natural stone of a rock type I had never seen before. It was covered in signs depicting some kind of diagram. Right around the corner was the waterfront, with a massive promenade running alongside it. Snow-covered trees lined the walkways, and soon enough Vixie and I came out of the crowd near a large, tall abandoned - though no unmaintained - building. "Right then," Vixie explained and started climbing. "Here's the old lighthouse, it's perfect for seeing the city. They never officially decommissioned it, so it's still legal to climb and properly maintained, but they never use it either." "What was the large thing they were building?" I asked, clambering onto the next ladder. "That? Oh, that was the space elevator." Vixie replied. "The ground part has been completed for three years now, we're just waiting for the rest of the nanotubes to make it into orbit and then run a kevlar cord up, follow it down with the space-grade heavy-duty nanotube cord, and then that's that." "Space?..." I was confused. "When the gods said that they were higher than mortals, you took that both figuratively and literally; they live above you and in a higher dimension. In this case, space is where they live in terms of height, but not number of dimensions. We're working on interdimensional travel, and interuniversal too, but those aren't replicatable on any sort of large scale yet." Vixie shrugged. "Either way, it's not like I care." "But you have it?" I pressed. "Dimensional travel." "Yes." She replied. "Well," I let out a short laughed. "The Civilized Nations are screwed over." "That's putting it lightly," She climbed on top of the last platform and showed me the city against the setting sun, lit up brighter than the night sky and more lively than the earth. It was beautiful. I sat there and watched the city glow with a power not even the gods had, side by side with not a dragon or monster, but a friend. END. A/N: Rushed this last bit of the arc, but school is ramping up at the end of the year so it was either fast story or incomplete story, and I chose fast story. Happy pride month, everyone, and I hope to see more of you when I have more time.
Original Prompt: [WP] For as long as all the races have known, Dragons have been seen as violent, destructive creatures. After an attack on your village, you black out and find yourself in the den of a dragon. It's rather annoyed that that is how they're seen, and wants to prove that isn't the case.
u/Lycan_Jedi thank you for the prompt!
Part 1

Dry stretch straining water systems
Systems in Grand Rapids don't see more than 75million gallon usage but we are already beginning to see 70 million readings on Grand Rapids systems. They've said no foreseen voluntarily restrictions will be requested, but they're not denying future requests will be made. There's no mention of how much of that usage we're seeing is commercial vs residential. Just taking a look at the amount of car washes ran independently and attached to retail is considerable. Also considering we have food plants in GR along with all the corporate restaurant chains is nauseating.
I was trying to find numbers on slotted development of new car washes in Grand Rapids this summer. Can anyone find those numbers from commissioner meetings? I recall hearing of at least 3-5 new openings in 2023.

https://youtu.be/cwTq7kkXr9Y
Just a compilation of bad drivers I've seen around the city in the last few months. Feel free to roast my driving too, but I at least know how to zipper merge.
Side note: Am I the only one that gets geeked whenever Grand Rapids is found on the wider internet?

Salut, je suis Ash, ça fait 3 ans que je suis DM. Je suis à la recherche de quelques joueurs pour ma future campagne. J'aimerai lancer cette campagne avec au moins 4 joueurs. J'adopte quelques règles maison que j'appliquerai une fois de plus dans cette campagne. Le but étant d'améliorer la qualité de vie de la campagne, facilité la mise en place de stratégie ou augmenter l'immersion. Je suis ouvert sur beaucoup de suggestions cependant j'aurai toujours le dernier mot sur ce genre d'ajout, s'il ne font pas l'unanimité la discussion sera ouverte à la FIN des séances.
La session débutera dans les premiers niveaux. Probablement niv.1 (qui passera très vite après la fin de l'introduction). J'ai tendance à faire du Dungeon Crawling régulièrement mais pas uniquement, ainsi attendez vous a en faire un peu même si ce ne sera pas le centre de la campagne. (J'en ai deux de prévu pour le premier Arc)Le but ne sera pas de traverser l'histoire le plus facilement/rapidement possible mais de vivre une aventure tous ensemble. Ainsi j'attends que les interaction entre les joueurs soit bonne (même si elle ne doit pas toujours l'être entre les personnages).
La magie est très faible dans la région où vous évolué, ainsi la plupart des paysans n'ont jamais vu de paladin et encore moins des mages. Attendez vous a être idolâtré ou crain selon vos actions. L'ambiance de la campagne est déjà définie, mais je suis ouvert sur les détails de votre historique, alors si certaines institutions cohérente avec l'univers doivent changer leur fonctionnement ou apparaître, ça peut être discuté.
Voici une courte introduction à la campagne si vous êtes intéressé.

Vous incarnez un groupe d'aventurier dans un région paisible. Vous n'êtes pas vous même de grands héros ou des tyrans. Bien que ce ne soit pas l'ambition qui vous manque. Au cours des derniers siècles les inquisitions on eu raison de nombreuses atrocités occupant les territoires voisin, ainsi lorsqu'en pleine nuit vous avez été alerté par des appels à l'aide entrecoupés de hurlements monstrueux, vous avez tout de suite compris que quelque chose ne tournait pas rond. Encore fallait il trouver la raison de cette attaque et les conséquences que celle-ci allait soulever dans la région.

TLPL : Si vous souhaitez passer un bon moment dans un univers Medieval Fantasy n'hésitez pas à me contacter dessous ou en privé ! 🙂
La campagne aura lieu sur FoundryVTT (un équivalent de Roll20) et tout les joueurs seront en vocal sur discord. (Je vous rassure rien de besoin de payer je m'occupe de tout).Pour finir, je vous invite à me contacter si vous souhaitez me poser des questions. Ce sera un plaisir de vous répondre.

Hey Grand Rapids! Im trying to collect a list of all the old food outlets that have been located in the Amway Grand plaza hotel downtown. Please comment any that you know of! :)

As this game will likely be in french, I'll continue now then in french, the translation will be below. Sorry if there are any errors, I'm not a really good english writter

--------------- Now the translation :
Hi, I'm Ash, I've been DMing for 3 years now. I'm looking for player to enjoy my next campaign. I would like to launch it with at least 4 players. I've been using some house rules when DMing I'll still apply to this one. The main objective is to improving quality of life, establishing a strategy or increase immersion. I'm open to change, but I'll still have the last word on rules. If you don't agree with one of them I'll be happy to discuss about it at the END of the session.
The first session will most likely start in the first levels. I often tend to do Dungeon Crawling, but don't expect to be the center point of this campaign. (I've only 2 dungeon for the first part of the story). I don't expect you do rush through the story. The goal is to enjoy a great time together. Thus i'm hopping for good interraction between you and other player. (They can be less good between characters).
Magic tend to be low in the playing area, so most commoners didn't saw any in their whole life. Expect to be loved or feared for your usage of it. The setting is already establish, but i'm open to change some details for include your characters idea in the story when it doesn't change the whole world.
Now a short introduction to the campaign if you're interessed

You play as a group of adventurers in a peaceful region. You yourself are not great heroes or tyrants. Although it is not ambition that you lack.

Over the past few centuries, the inquisitions have overcome many atrocities in neighboring territories, so when in the middle of the night you were alerted by cries for help interspersed with monstrous screams, you immediately understood that something was wrong. was not spinning.
It was still necessary to find the reason for this attack and the consequences that it would raise in the region.
TLDR : If you want to have a good time in a Medieval Fantasy universe, do not hesitate to contact me below or in private! 🙂
The campaign will take place on foundry and all players will be vocal on discord
Finally, If you wish to ask me questions. It will be a pleasure to answer you.

My daughter is going to be a freshman at BSU in the fall. What are the pros and cons of her bringing her car? We’re coming from Grand Rapids, Michigan, FWIW.

Pour le contexte, je (23M) suis ami avec une fille (24F)
A l’époque du lycée, j’étais amoureux d’elle, genre vraiment beaucoup. Pour faire un résumé rapide, je pensais c’était le cas aussi pour elle vu qu’on était vraiment proche, mais non elle m’a friendzone parce qu’elle n’était pas prête pour une relation. Un mois plus tard, elle s’est rapproché de son crush d’une façon ou d’une autre et ils ont décides de se mettre ensemble. Vous vous doutez que je l’ai pas très bien pris. Suite à une engueulade, on s’est éloigné pendant plusieurs années.
Depuis 1 an ou 2, on a recommencé à se parler et même si je savais pas trop comment me situer par rapport à elle, je sais que je ne suis plus amoureux d’elle. Donc on est pote. D’autant plus qu’elle est toujours avec son copain du lycée.
Mais y’a une chose qui a pas changé et qui a même empirer, c’est mon attirance sexuelle pour elle. C’est pas une mannequin, elle est pas parfaite, mais je la trouve magnifique, encore plus avec les années. Depuis longtemps, j’ai été assez clair (sans pour autant forcer) sur le fait que si elle venait à moi, je ne saurais pas lui dire non et qu’au contraire, si elle se retrouvait celib, j’hésiterais pas à l’approcher dans ce sens.
Mais d’un autre côté, elle s’en fout, ce que je respecte, et moi aussi, même si elle est un peu spéciale à mes yeux vu qu’on très proche et tout, c’est vraiment purement physique. On partage déjà beaucoup de choses, si on rajoutait du sexe ça changerait pas grand chose pour moi. Je sais ce que je veux et ne veux pas.
Le problème, c’est que justement elle est libre depuis une semaine mtn, même si elle a encore des sentiments pour son mec.
L’autre problème, c’est qu’elle est aller à une soirée, s’est faite draguer par une meuf, qui a été très direct avec elle, elles ont fini par dormir ensemble à faire quasiment des bails (j’ai pas les détails mais disons que c’était chaud quand même).
Et du coup je me suis dit : « si elle est open à ce genre de chose avec d’autres gens, pourquoi je pourrais pas lui rappeler que si elle veut se sentir désirée, j’ai que de ça à revendre pour elle ? »
Et pas en amour, c’est vraiment juste pour qu’on s’amuse tout les 2.
De base, je voulais juste l’inviter passer du bon temps pour éviter qu’elle deprime donc je lui propose une sortie dans 2 semaines etc. Elle me dit que ça fait très « date » et je réponds que ça en un et que je me suis jamais caché du fait que je la voyais de cette façon depuis qu’on se reparle. Résultat, j’me suis fais friendzone a l’époque pour une relation, et mtn en tant que plan cul. En soit ça me pose pas vraiment de problème, je suis déçu parce que je la trouve vraiment magnifique mais c’est comme ça, qui ne tente rien n’a rien. Mais de l’autre, j’me dis que c’est vraiment un sale move de ma part de lui avoir parler de ça mtn, a peine 1 semaine après sa rupture. Pourtant l’autre meuf a fait pareil et ça a marché donc c’est juste que elle veut pas de moi tout court et je respecte ça.
Jsuis content d’avoir tenter une approche surtout que c’est pas trop mon genre, mais j’espère que ça va pas trop endommager notre amitié quand même, jsp trop.
Voilà

Hello All, Happy Monday evening!
My husband and I have been debating where to move for a while now and I think we finally have it narrowed down to two options: Grand Rapids, MI, or Rochester, NY (we would likely be living outside each city in the surrounding areas because we want a home on a larger lot - preferably at least half an acre).
We have been to Farmington (outside Rochester) and around the Finger Lakes and really liked that area. We have not been to Grand Rapids yet, but we have family a few hours away who think we would like it.
I need help identifying the differences between the two areas and which would suit us better.
Here is a little about us and what we are looking for:

• Mid-to-late 30s couple, no kids (and don’t plan on having any)
• Lean left politically
• Non-religious
• We love hiking, paddle boarding, and generally just getting outdoors, so access to nature is a huge necessity for us.
• We love farmers' markets, and coffee shops to chill at on the weekend.
• We love good restaurants, especially those with outdoor seating (for the summer, of course).
• We are not huge into nightlife or drinking, so that is not a necessity - but we do appreciate a brewery/winery with a good ambiance from time to time.
• Looking for a 3 bed, 2 bath house on a little land for <$500k
• We both have remote jobs, so we don’t need a robust job market

Thank you all so much! I really appreciate any help and input.

Salut à tous, citoyens de Star Citizen !
J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de tester le Helix-1, un nouvel outil d'extraction minière, sur mon Prospector dans la version 3.19. Aujourd'hui, je voudrais partager avec vous mes impressions et comparer le Helix-1 avec les autres lasers de sa catégorie.
Le Helix-1 est un ajout fantastique à votre arsenal de mineur, offrant une amélioration significative des performances d'extraction. Comparé aux autres lasers de sa catégorie, voici quelques points à prendre en compte :

1. Efficacité d'extraction : Le Helix-1 se distingue par son efficacité d'extraction accrue. Grâce à sa technologie avancée, il est capable de collecter les minéraux plus rapidement que les lasers traditionnels. Dans la version 3.19, j'ai constaté une augmentation de près de 20 % du rendement par rapport aux autres lasers de même catégorie.
2. Puissance de découpe : Le Helix-1 excelle également en termes de puissance de découpe. Il est capable de couper à travers les roches plus rapidement, réduisant ainsi le temps nécessaire pour extraire les minéraux. Cela se traduit par une productivité accrue et une rentabilité améliorée.
3. Polyvalence : Le Helix-1 offre une grande polyvalence en termes de types de minéraux pouvant être extraits. Que vous cherchiez des métaux précieux, des minéraux rares ou des matériaux de construction, ce laser vous permettra de les extraire efficacement. Il est également compatible avec différentes configurations de capteurs, vous permettant d'adapter votre équipement aux spécificités des gisements que vous rencontrez.
4. Coût et disponibilité : Comme toute nouvelle technologie, le Helix-1 peut être un investissement initial plus important par rapport aux lasers plus anciens. Cependant, il offre des performances supérieures, ce qui peut se traduire par des bénéfices plus importants à long terme. En termes de disponibilité, il est actuellement largement distribué dans les principales stations minières de Star Citizen.
5. Modules : Bien que le Helix-1 soit extrêmement puissant, sa fenêtre optimale n'est pas très large. Je recommande donc l'utilisation de modules qui améliorent cette caractéristique, tels que le Focus 3.

J'espère que cette comparaison vous a donné un aperçu des avantages offerts par le Helix-1 par rapport aux autres lasers de sa catégorie dans la version 3.19 de Star Citizen. Choisissez judicieusement votre équipement et profitez d'une expérience minière plus efficace et rentable !

How the f*** Matt Rife come to Grand Rapids Mi before Andrew? News got dropped today and my whole timeline is FLOODED with mfs "super excited" and shit. Akaash has even been here, I had to go to Muskegon to see him tho, why, CAUSE HE SOLD OUT IN Grand Rapids. All I'm saying is my city, my miserable ass city needs the heazy (never spelled that out before lol). Andrew could easily sell out the Van andel arena (which is the #1 midsized arena in the north America, #6 in the world). Matt funny or whatever but that's Andrew son if we being honest, let the BOY eat. But my city need them grown man jokes Mr. Schulz. Love the show BTW guys you're doing amazing work 😁.

Bonjour,
J'ai adopté un chien (Epagneul x Border) il y a 3 mois et tout se passe extrêmement bien. C'est un chien très calme, gentil et affectueux et qui s'est adapté particulièrement vite à la vie en appartement (un grand appartement de 80m² avec deux balcons).
Depuis le début du printemps, j'ouvre la fenêtre d'un des balcons (qui est fleuri/plein de plantes) et le chien a l'habitude d'y aller dans la journée pour bronzer tranquillement au soleil. Aujourd'hui, comme fréquemment, je suis dans le bureau en train de travailler et le chien vit sa vie dans le salon (hors de mon visuel). Ma compagne rentre du travail et s'étonne de ne pas voir le chien venir la saluer, nous le cherchons longtemps et ne le trouvons plus dans l'appartement. On panique un peu, conclut rapidement que la seule possibilité est qu'il ait chuté du balcon (qui donne vers la cour intérieure de notre résidence) du 2ème étage et courrons en toute vitesse au rez-de-jardin pour le chercher.
Une fois en bas, en relevant la tête, nous nous rendons compte qu'il est en fait passé sur le balcon du voisin (les deux balcons sont séparés par une vitre + une treille avec des plantes grimpantes et il y a un espace minuscule entre la vitre et la rembarde par lequel un chat pourrait éventuellement passer mais pas un chien de 20kg). Nous remontons à l'appartement, je passe sur l'autre balcon (les voisins étant en vacances), je récupère le chien qui tremble et est très apeuré (aucune idée du temps qu'il a pu passer tout seul sur l'autre balcon, peut-être 30 ou 45min max).
Depuis, il semble terrorisé par quelque chose dans notre appartement et essaie de fuir pour le balcon ou l'extérieur dès que possible. Ma compagne a pour théorie que quelque chose l'a tellement effrayé dans la maison qu'il a forcé son chemin pour fuir sur le balcon des voisins, mais je ne saurais dire ce que c'est puisque j'étais moi-même dans l'appartement en train de travailler et qu'il ne s'est rien passé de notable. Le chien se comporte très bizarrement, nous fuit, esquive complètement mon bureau (il ne mange pas dans sa gamelle qui se trouve à proximité), tremble encore, se cache sous la table, etc... Bref pas des comportements qui lui sont habituels.
Auriez-vous des idées pour le calmer ? Des solutions à base de phéromones ou de fleurs de bach pour le calmer et le réhabituer à l'appartement et qu'il comprenne qu'il est chez lui en sécurité ? Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà été confronté à une situation similaire qui saurait expliquer son comportement ?
Merci d'avance de votre aide, je suis très préoccupé et je me sens coupable qu'il soit à ce point angoissé !
Edit : après essais il semble effectivement fuir comme la peste la partie de l'appartement ou se trouve mon bureau (pièce dans laquelle se trouve le coussin où il dort d'habitude) mais aucune idée de ce qui a pu l'effrayer a ce point. Le seul truc auquel je pense c'est que la porte a claqué une fois a cause d'un courant d'air, mais sa réaction est tellement étrange et violente que ça m'étonnerait que ce soit ça .mm.

I'm going to be having a garage sale on the 24-25th. Do I need to get a permit for it? I live in NE grand rapids(1 block West of houseman field).
