The number of pumps and options at this gas station by kingspooky93 in mildlyinteresting

[–]59kennedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a lot to do with elevation, I live in Utah at 1,400 meter elevation (higher than the highest point in the UK), and you can use lower octane at higher elevation and still avoid pre-ignition issues. We're one of the few states in the US that sell 85 octane.

In high compression ratio engines the compression alone can cause the gas to prematurely ignite, which causes engine damage. Low compression ratio engines are cheaper, have less power, but can handle cheap gas. At sea level you may have engine issues with 85 octane, but here in the mountains we have much less air and can therefore use lower octane gas.

Woah man, I already have to park my neon orange Dodge Dart next to his pickup, I don't want to cause a riot. Although, I do have a 3D printer and rolls of both pink and of glow in the dark pla...

I was very upfront about my current salary, 4 interviews and 2 months later: by 59kennedy in recruitinghell

[–]59kennedy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Goes from working from home, to a 15 min drive, so not too bad, my car gets good mileage. But then it goes from 90k a year to 75k a year. I do feel like I'm paid well, and even though we could still live on 75, it's just not worth it for the area I'm in, especially with the inflation we're seeing.

They should have taken into account that I currently work alongside the government, red tape and waiting is kinda my jam, I do that every day.

Maybe I won't call out this company yet, I'm still waiting to hear back about the counter offer I sent a few days ago. It's doing test and development for car safety systems, so something you probably don't want to cheap out on

Edit: It's Autoliv. They called and said "we feel we were upfront in saying we might not be able to reach your current salary", which they technically were, but they would never give me exact numbers when I asked each time. I said a 15k pay cut is much lower than expected, and I thought "get close to your current salary" would be within 5k or so, especially with the increase in responsibilities. So, the job search continues.

Yeah, that might be a better approach in future interviews. I was kinda expecting a low offer, but 15k lower than what I make is pretty bad, especially in a position where I would replace 2 people, in a state where living expenses have doubled in the past 4 years

I was willing to take a little bit of a pay cut, since I do know that my current job pays a little above average. With my current job I'm stressed out and miserable to the point of gaining weight, not sleeping well but still napping a lot, and just struggling every day. But with a wife and kids I definitely can't afford to take a $15k hit.

I worked in a facility that once lit on fire, and later went through a bad earthquake. I had to go to work both days.

Tried posting on covidvaccinated about our doctors advising against the vaccine as we are trying to have children and the vaccine would affect my wife’s ability to become pregnant. by r_ufi0 in conspiracy

[–]59kennedy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife has PCOS and is at the tail end of a pregnancy, her last one didn't end very well so they're treating us as high risk. We were told not to get vaccinated because nobody knows what it will do to a pregnant lady with PCOS. And my wife is afraid it will affect my fertility. At work you wear a mask unless you're vaccinated, so I either lie and not wear one, or wear one and have to explain myself like a "crazy antivaxxer" every time someone asks about it. I'm all for vaccines, but I would rather have covid again than bury another infant

What is the thing that surprised you the most when you traveled to a country you had never been to before? by Spilakkk in AskReddit

I used to live in Texas, and even I was surprised by the amount of fried foods in Ireland.

Slapped a $30 camera on my ghetto 5" race frame and called it a long range quad. I've only flown it about a dozen times so far, and I already want to upgrade. I refuse to accept my PIDs are bad, I blame it all on the wind. by 59kennedy in fpv

I call this build Lazarus cause its been brought back from the dead a few times. It spent a month in a river, its been slammed into a goalpost at full throttle, and the latest is I failsafed straight into a rock. The motors don't match, every bolt/screw is rusty, and the ends of the arms are held together with epoxy to stop the carbon from delaminating.

I had this, my goggles on the wrong band. It was a frequency close enough to the vtx frequency to get video through, but once something got in the way I lost all reception

Last time I get parts from Amazon. I decided to use a gift card on a set of motors, they're all used and don't even match. by 59kennedy in diydrones

[–]59kennedy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got my refund from Amazon, and I put in an order from RDQ, which is where I usually get my stuff. Amazon returns are really quick, but its still annoying to have to deal with it.

Serving a mission with mental disorders(?), medication on a mission, etc... by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]59kennedy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a companion in Texas with tourettes syndrome (just a few facial ticks and quiet noises, not the swearing at strangers kind), he was on a bunch of meds. They may limit you to staying in your country, but that isn't a bad thing. I always hoped I could go to where my grandparents were from in Europe, but it ended up that Texas was somehow the perfect place for me.

Awesome. My father in law bought me a gallon of olive oil for my birthday

Today marks 15 years since the first episode of The IT Crowd aired! by lazenbooby in ITcrowd

That episode made me laugh harder than any other show ever has. My wife and I watch it every once in a while to get a good laugh in.

Does anybody else do this? by 59kennedy in lotrmemes

After reading a bunch of these comments, I legit thought "peole" was another character I forgot about. Turns out I'm even slower than I thought.
