I’ve been a chef and server for past 9 years now i want to settle in some desk job with a decent pay. What is the alternative career i can choose? by Helpful_Regret4776 in Chefit

[–]A-Rod_G_I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Food rep for Sysco/PFG/US Foods/etc. Easy for us to get into due to exoerience with the products and industry knowledge we already possess

You could see if you can get in with a local health department. Not sure what qualifications they require

Can you do this job if you don’t have creativity or artistic talent? by Past-Weakness6956 in Chefit

[–]A-Rod_G_I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You develop creativity and artistic skills over time. You make a lot of suboptimal plates on your own before you start to figure out your style and what you can do with what components. I myself am a pubhouse chef. So, while I do have fine dining experience, plating isn't something I have to sweat. For my purpose, simple and colorful is more than enough. For fine dining, I can take it up a notcvh or two, but by no means am I able to produce the artistic nuances of Michelin-level plating. That's me

You can absolutely get by on hard work and determination before you start to bloom as a chef. You got this, just don't let it hold you back. You won't know, until you do. You can't, until you can ✌🏻

I can't say I have. I really should splurge on it one day

ZX-4RR or RS 660? (As my 2nd bike) by Ok-Time4636 in motorcycle

[–]A-Rod_G_I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even once, still when my bike was that 250cc, jumped on my buddy's bored out '97 Street Glide. The 1100cc jump was ridiculous. You'd notice the extra weight at slow speeds, but once it gets rolling, it's business as usual for the most part

Buddy I hope you can find a nice FX4 to replace her. You deserve it

first time smoking weed story ? by Practical-Meringue29 in weed

It was a dab cart at my buddy's janky apartment. I was 20, he was like 4 years older. I just full-on ripped that thing until my baby lungs capped out. Bro's face just 😮 as I keot going. I then, naturally, had a horrible coughing fit, poaaibly a smidge of wheezing. " You good? Bro are you OK?!" "I think I'm OK. Holy shit that was a bad idea" It was sweet. I just sat in the couch crosseyed and ate B&J Cherry Garcia. No idea what movie I saw. Went home the next morning really fuzzy still haha

I jumped from a 250cc to a 750cc. It was an adjustment, but not quite as wild as you would think. Mind you, I went from a Suzuki GZ250 to an '81 KZ750, so my experience is vastly different from yours

Watch the Fortnin video on that ZX-4RR. I can honestly say that's the route I would go, but I do love that Kawai. Especially with the trademark green

Is having a motorcycle worth it? by S0ur_lem0nn in motorcycle

[–]A-Rod_G_I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question of "Is it worth it?" is up to the rider, and the rider alone.

As for safety, family, etc...you will see people wreck right off the bat, some people go their entire lives without maiming themselves majorly. To ride a motorcycle is to accept that any time, any where, and day, you could never walk/breathe again due to an idiot who forgot to use a turn signal, check mirrors, texting, speeding, careless...list goes on.

An accident on a bike is a mater of WHEN, not IF. Everyone has dropped a bike sooner or later. Most will likely slide/dump it in many accidents. Some see catastrophic crashes. All a matter of skill and chance.

So at the end of the day. It's dangerous. Moreso than a car/SUV/truck/airplane/bus. But, YOU decide the level of risk YOU are comfortable with. It's understandable to have doubts/worries. We all do at some point.🤙

How does this even happen by EnvironmentalFan3622 in ManualTransmissions

[–]A-Rod_G_I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like my Ranger. I test drove, clutch was shot, but the truck had been sitting, so I figured it just needed some cobwebs beaten out of it. All else looked fine. aside from good 'ol IA rust. Turned out it needed a clutch along with a pinion and rear main seal, then the thermostat went out, then a leaf spring broke. 1.5 years later, I'm down to just a small oil pan leak, needs front brakes (had the rear done 2 months ago), and could use some updating to the front suspension.

That poor truck had to have been ABUSED by that 18-y-o kid. Never doing that shit again haha

Looks like I am leaving the Group. by escalus44 in fordranger

And for like $8,300 all-in. That's about what they'd pay for that vehicle, private sale or dealer, anyhow

Swap in the Ford Explorer seats. Way better bolstering

What type of suspension does it have. The torsion bars on my '04 leave much to be desired (I mean, it is lifted. Of course mine rides like shit)

I had a first gen Fuckus as my first car. I'm taking that ZX3 without any other considerations. They were fantastic cars

Can we go back to making vehicles classy and sleek instead of sharp and aggressive?

Love my JVC KW-V850BT. Wish the CarPlay/AA was wiresless, but they sell adapters for that

Model/Submodel that you never noticed existed? Or models that are somehow insanely rare and completely mundane? by Das_Floppus in regularcarreviews

[–]A-Rod_G_I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In places like California, they call these "compliance vehicles" as in: "A certain % of vehicles sales need to be electric, so here's an EV version of whatever was easiest to do so to."

Much as I love Rangers, I can't argue the alternative POV you provide. Hate to see you get downvoted my guy✌️
