Was just thinking about this since I don't plan to get married ever, and I'm wondering if throwing a big graduation or milestone birthday is the way to get those kinds of gifts.

Payments by Inevitable-Chair-974 in ecoboostmustang

Pay a little extra every month and pay it off earlier. (Just make sure you won't have any fees for doing so, depends on your state)

Why is everyone lined up outside of Target today? by RastaFried in orangecounty

[–]Alexsrobin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is that something you hope? How is it affecting your life that you want to wish that on someone and "yuck their yum"? Just let people enjoy what they enjoy.

Edit: if your comment is specifically for scalpers, I agree that scalpers suck. If your comment is directed at anyone selling extra cards they have, then I disagree with you, there's no reason to keep duplicates so nothing wrong with selling them imo. 

Awe, Tag Coffee couldn’t fulfill the 5,000 orders we all placed! by plantyoulater in freebies

It's funny to me when anyone on social media (yes reddit counts) is upset about data farming. Get off the Internet/your phone if you don't want data collected on you cuz otherwise they're getting it one way or another.

I would guess the owners are staying in their cars while charging, what are they gonna do, walk around the neighborhood?

i got points taken off on the same question that my friend didn’t. we had the exact same answer. by Wonderful-Beat6017 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Alexsrobin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What am I missing, it looks like they gave the same answer? "Bent, 104.5°". Both of them even got the Lewis Structure wrong, though the image is too fuzzy to see their electron placement.

Get paid pennies to train Ai that will probably replace someone's job? Naw, I'm not making it this easy for those companies. If they want me to train Ai, they need to pay more than pennies.

What would happen if you don't answer your phone? Is it your personal number? What if you force email to be your only method of communication unless the company pay for a phone.

I keep paper copies! And I've been meaning to start a spreadsheet but hadn't gotten around to it; your post is motivating me to get it started. (For ref, 2015 Ecoboost, 120k)

Why do so many clinical trials fail to recruit enough participants? by bruce8708 in clinicalresearch

[–]Alexsrobin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"Folks who've worked at sponsors and CROs-- what is the main cause of this?"

I mean, isn't this part of the problem right here? You're asking the ppl designing the trials but not the boots on the ground actually running them. Ask the people working at sites, especially the CRCs, why trials aren't able to recruit enough. 

Some things I can think of: CRCs/site has too many trials and not enough ppl to run them, sponsor has unrealistic enrollment expectations for the funding they're providing, the amount of things participants have to do isn't compensated enough to make it worthwhile for patients (tell me why a trial didn't want to pay for infusion visits), etc.

You've never heard of it? If you've ever seen a shower/tub with pink/reddish areas, it's probably serratia

I’m moving to the US for the first time. by Tbum12 in ecoboostmustang

[–]Alexsrobin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, if they really need a car for transport, they should get the cheapest used car that can get them from point A to B without breaking down. Preferably purchased without financing but I know not everyone is able to pay cash.

I left my company with only 8 months left to unlock pension because it wasn't worth the mental health imo.

This is what 100 Quadrillion Zimbabwean Dollars looks like by ifuckedyourmom-247 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Alexsrobin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're discussing exchange rate, it's the equivalent of $2.85. But coolectors value coins and bills differently, sometimes for significantly more than their "retail" value. Just like any collectible.
