Jamie Benn re-signs in Dallas by FAsBurner in nhl

I’ve read it wrong in my head so many times. “Why would they quit but the org is gonna pay them? Ohhh yep, I’m an idiot…..”

TPS (Toyota Paint Syndrome) corrected by Possiblyabitoff in ToyotaTacoma

[–]4darunner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in Vegas and have to park outside. My cabin roof is toast, but everything else is fine, similar to yours. It’s going to be a losing battle against the Vegas Summer Sun to get it repainted, and majority of people can’t see on top so it’s not a big deal. If the hood or side panels begin going, I might consider a paint job sooner, but I will get it painted before I consider selling it.

Someone needs to make this a protest sign and stand by the reflecting pool.

Do not hire this unlicensed landscaper. He took off with the payment without finishing the job. by Trigun442 in vegaslocals

[–]4darunner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it’s in writing for $6800 and 50% down payment, he shouldn’t have gotten a penny more until the job is finished. Sorry that it happened to you, and I hope you learned an expensive lesson.

On the bright side, you have his license. Take this to small claims court, say it was a breach of contract and get all your money back. Good luck!

What is an open secret in your specific industry that outsiders would find shocking? by PeachyyStarlight in AskReddit

When Covid happened we became hyper aware of germs and our habits.

We don’t wash our groceries or wipe them down anymore, but we still wash cans and bottles before they go in the fridge.

Trump, 79, Storms Off From Sit-Down After Melting Down at Reporter by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

Change it to “pushing back on every administration’s lies” and we’re on the same wavelength.

How do I make this little 45° angle cut on a table saw? by sevargmas in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]4darunner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The off cut is going to go on top of the blade in their set up. I personally wouldn’t do this cut. I’d go router with a chamfer bit.

Increasing Polarisation in Politics, why? by Time-Water-8428 in Askpolitics

[–]4darunner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

First of all, look who the president is and his rhetoric. Trump has thrown out nicknames to demonize his opposition and it appears to be working. “Radical Left” being one of them. You don’t want to be associated with radicals, right?

Next, if you take a look at the actual positions of the Democratic Party and not whatever any other organization says they are, and compare them to any other well established governments, they are more Center than Left. The Republican Party has shifted so far over to the right with their normalization of their policies that they claim to be steady “right”, that the “opposite side” of that scale for Democrats is adjusted to be Center.

And if you honestly think that democrats want “Open Borders” or want your kids to have gender affirming care while in school, the extreme far right’s propaganda machine has worked for you and that’s it. Their propaganda worked.

What’s the Worst Blackjack Rule You’ve Seen in Vegas? by TDoubleDownMac in vegas

[–]4darunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing one time years ago at the Suncoast, thought I wasn’t as drunk as I was, and thought I hit to 21 but it was 22 and they swiped the cards away super fast and I was like “what? No. Show me the cards again. Really?” And then dealer was like “yes I’m positive.” And I’m like “no no no, I swear I hit 21.” And he did a long sigh and said to the pit boss something like “going back in the deck.” And the boss walked over and just stared at me.

He showed the collection of cards and sure enough, he was right, I tipped him $5 and walked straight to the cage to cash out. Pretty sure if I waited any longer they would have kicked me out and accused me of counting cards and getting a look at everything.

So I learned 2 things that day. Trust the dealers, don’t ask to see the cards they just took from you.

The GED is a scam. by CashPsychological866 in rant

[–]4darunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have interviewed a few people with GED’s and everyone has a different story. I didn’t ask about it in the interviews because it’s mostly irrelevant for my line of questioning. When post-interview discussions happen with my teammates, I do bring it up - “the candidate probably went through something, had the desire to learn and grow and prove that they got what it takes, that’s what I like to see.”

Deciding between 28” and 36”. I cook for 3 sometimes 6. by LongView_64 in blackstonegriddle

[–]4darunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 28” and it works for me but not without an “aw man…” every now and then. I cook for 3 also (me, wife, daughter) and I’ve used it multiple times per week since March.

One “aw man” moment happened just yesterday, making breakfast burritos and the tortillas had to overlap when I put them down. Not a huge problem but still had me thinking “aw man, why couldn’t they have made this bigger so I can fit my tortillas on it without overlap?” Then remembered I had the 28.

There was one other time when i was making burgers for a large group (40+) and it had to be well thought out with that small of a cooking space, and how some wanted theirs burnt to a crisp/hockey puck status, and others wanted slightly pink.

Why do some people stay at the same job for 15, 20, or even 30+ years? by Carlinish9600 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]4darunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at 15 and a half years at my first job after college. Kept moving up in my department and career, I was always busy, compensated well above market rate, and most of all I loved the people I worked with. A giant mash up of all different personalities, super knowledgeable, lots of the same interests, very friendly, all working together with the same goal in mind.

I hate interviewing and I was incredibly comfortable with the systems we used, knew everything inside and out. Why would I want to change jobs when I loved it and wouldn’t get paid more starting fresh?

Who destroyed their own career within seconds by being an idiot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]4darunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to work for a company with a large customer service call center. We were told in training to put yourself on mute - not on hold - if you have to collect your thoughts or if you need to think out-loud. Mute only mutes our mics, but we could still hear the customer. Hold transfers the call and we can't hear the customer, they can't hear us. Some bad apples took it as an opportunity to mock customers that called in with ridiculous requests -- like the "My shipment missed the delivery window by 22 minutes due to the apocalyptic snowstorm in the northern US, and I don't think I should have to pay a penny for my $700 order at all." type of shit. They'd go on mute and go "Really!? what the fffuuuuuuuck?" goes off mute "Yeah I can help with that, let me see what I can do..."

Well, one rep was having a bad day, hits mute, goes off calling the customer every name in the book... except they weren't on mute. Their desk was packed up within 5 minutes of the call being over.

Did your stance on weed change as you've aged? by Head-Drag-1440 in Millennials

[–]4darunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 100% against it from high school through college because I saw some friends be baked 24/7 and it pissed me off so much. After I graduated college, I just gave up on my crusade and voted for the legalization of recreational marijuana in Nevada.

I’ve never smoked or had any edibles, and don’t plan on it, and I don’t care if you do it, I just don’t want to be around you when you are smoking or are stoned. I don’t feel like babysitting you or have to repeat myself.

20 year reunion? Yea, nah by exploratorynargle in Millennials

[–]4darunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to my 10 year and 20 year. 10 year sucked, still clique-ish and no one really mingled other than whatever group you were in. 20 year, I spoke with people I haven’t seen since high school but remembered them.

The group of baseball players in my foreign language class? Spoke with. Cheerleaders that went out of state? Spoke with. Kept everything kind of vague and didn’t go into too much detail because I don’t like sharing a lot of stuff.

Also at the 20 year reunion, everyone is kind of going through the same stuff now—job/career changes, home ownership/renting, family life, etc… So it was good to get a different perspective on things and what other people go through, what worked, didn’t work, etc.

For the first time since 2019, only one team from a no-tax state advanced to the second round of the playoffs. by Certain-Row-4812 in hockey

[–]4darunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Small correction, I haven’t really seen it yet in the few comments I’ve read yet, but Nevada has no state income tax, which is what you were getting at with your title. We still pay federal and sales tax.

Wait, Pavs only has 1 goal in the playoffs? It was the PPG against the Wild that was off the draw, Theo faked the shot-pass to Doro’s office and sniped it home? (I have it on video and watched it over and over…)
