Sharing my new-found adoration of this band with like-minded souls - I cannot believe I had not found Ghost sooner. Their “Lachryma” performance on Jimmy Fallon popped up on my Instagram….and then, destiny unfolded. Ghost came to St. Paul/Minneapolis nearly a week later, and I attended my 1st ritual on my birthday weekend! Was in the Club seats and had a great view and great time, but it seems like the pit/floor is the place to be….needless to say, this will not be my last ritual!

Skeletá had me at hello with the arena rock sound and introspective themes (love my ‘80s rock bands, Journey, Bon Jovi, Guns N’ Roses, etc.). I’ve continued to discover the musical genius of the previous albums. C

For those who purchased a CX-5 with turbo: Would love to hear about the good, the bad, the ugly, about your experiences. Thought starters: reliability, warranties purchased and if it was worth it, ride quality, major repairs to expect, infotainment, safety, etc. I am considering buying a 2021 or 2022 CX-5 Signature within the next couple of months. Already test drove the CX-5 and the other vehicle under consideration (Volvo XC60 T5/T6).

Background: My super reliable 2005 Toyota Camry is sadly on her last legs. I am considering 2 vehicles, 1 of them is a CX-5 Signature turbo (2021 or 2022), the other is a Volvo XC60 T5 or T6 (2018-2020). It’s been difficult to compare these vehicles, sin

For those who purchased the XC60 T5 or T6 (years 2018-2020): Would love to hear about the good, the bad, the ugly, especially about your experiences beyond the first 30,000 miles. Thought starters: reliability, warranties purchased and if it was worth it, major repairs to expect, infotainment/Google, safety, how long you kept the vehicle, resale, etc. I am considering buying one within the next couple months.

And be honest - would I be a fool to buy a luxury car like this? Is this vehicle really meant to be a leased vehicle (like BMWs)?

My trusty 2005 Toyota Camry has flashed signs of death....replacement of original parts are due this summer, which will exceed the value of the car. Grew up in a Toyota/Lexus family that ran those cars until ~300,000 miles, but Toyota doesn't make the quality vehicles like they used to, which has pushed me into the semi-lux/lux category to get what I want.

It's a weird time to purchase a vehicle. Supply chain apocalypse aside, we're on the brink of EV, but I'm not looking to go full EV until we have more experience with different makes/models. What do I purchase during this odd time? What's the role of infotainment tech in resale value? How long should I keep the vehicle?

-Budget: <

Rent is on the higher end (~48% of net income with extreme estimates on deductibles). My values (fulfilled for this place) include: proximity to work, proximity to good eats and the city life, neighborhood safety, my own unit (alleviating anxiety), in-unit laundry (so clothes aren't shredded by industrial washers therefore less shopping/spending). I lived as a grad student paying over 50% of net income for rent for 1.5 years, and consider myself "cheap" on most things except for real estate. I am a "home-body" and highly value my place of residency (especially living alone) because it brings me peace. I value it over fancy vacations, fancy cars, and frivolous spending (going out too frequent

Just graduated with my MS, had a fantastic younger PI as a boss. My PI has a family and can be quite personable with their students, but I never allowed them to cross the professional-personal life boundary. I like to keep my professional and personal lives as separated as possible. I don't have anything to hide on Facebook (though they were hesitant to allow me to remain in a band course while researching, which DID NOT hinder my progress, and there are tons of appropriate/positive pictures shared from that), but it still makes me uncomfortable. It's almost as if I don't want them to know I have a human side that thrives/ed on something other than my research at the time and career.

Hi there! I am graduating in December 2016 and will be vacating my studio apartment, looking for someone to take over the remainder of my lease. It is located right next to the Grant Street parking garage, just north of Mad Mushroom. 1 minute walk to the Union. Management and maintenance are awesome! Send me a message for more details! Thanks!
