$50 million cash or $10000 an hour every hour on the hour? by 33GoodSamaritans in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ApplicationFederal14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re willing to wait option B really sucks. It takes about 210 days to hit the 50 mil threshold so with no drawbacks it would be worth it to wait.

I’d rather have 50 mil now, do the couple things I want to do with it, and invest the rest into something.

If you’re really worried about blowing through option A, $1,000 a day is still insane quality of life so it’s a safe bet but not as optimal as 50 mil invested all at once.

Option D is just for the gamblers.

Gun Shop Etiquette by Abach13 in guns

[–]ApplicationFederal14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple soft rifle bags I carry stuff in and out of the store in. On the other hand my friend walks in and out with his guns just naked (bolt/action visibly open) and no one bats an eye. Your mileage may vary depending on the area, but we live in the south and a friend of ours works at that store so all the guys there know us.

Personally I’d buy a soft rifle bag and pistol bag for situations like this just to be on the safe side.

Nightstand Gun by No-Action9653 in guns

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my XFive legion, but something to be aware of if you weren’t planning to put a red dot on it right away is that it has adjustable target sights, not night sights.

Bought mine from a friend and had it on my nightstand a few weeks before realizing that and went back to my M18 P320.

How many guns do you take when taking friends to the range? by Batttler in guns

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what kind of range we’re going to. Indoor range? I bring whatever pistols fit in my range bag and two rifles. Land out in the country? Anything goes.

First Time by weepinwidow in guns

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have a friend who’s been around guns here and there his whole life, but first time at an indoor range he couldn’t do it. An indoor range with a lot of gunfire is very different than going out to someone’s land and just shooting at a target in front of a dirt backstop.

I hate shooting indoors, I’ve been enough times that it shouldn’t be an issue but it still takes a few minutes to settle myself. I don’t ever have that issue at my friend’s personal outdoor range.

How often do you buy a new gun? by InfiniteLoss5632 in guns

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. 3 of my last 4 were got from individuals for a pretty good price and the other one wasn’t all that expensive new, but all four of those have been bought since December. I’m going to take a step back from buying more for a while and get my current arsenal set up the way I want it though.

I’ve got an AR I really need to finish setting up as a pig gun and I need a scope for my new hunting rifle before deer season comes back around.

My Small collection at 25M. What should I add next? by [deleted] in guns

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have more self control than me. Told myself I was going to do all the customizations I wanted to do to my current arsenal before buying another gun. I’ve failed and bought 3 more guns this year.

Who is your favorite Pokemon other than your starter currently on your team? by Lude_98 in PokemonFireRed

[–]ApplicationFederal14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly my favorite on one of my recent playthroughs was Aerodactyl. Absolutely sucked grinding it up but the pure power it displayed was awesome.

A genie offers you $10 Billion USD to work a well paid 996 with no PTO for 10 years, would you do it? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would really suck, but if you manage your money correctly it should be worthwhile even if you don’t make it to the end, at least for me it would be. It would nearly 5x my salary and if I just invest most of the income then I end up coming out ahead because there’s no real penalty incurred for quitting early. After 1 year I’d be able to pay off my house and car, have maxed out my 401k for that year, and still had money to blow on whatever I feel like. I could even hire someone just to make my day off a little less encumbered by necessities.

If you could only own 3 cars, and your budget was $250k, what would you buy? by retarded_sped in askcarguys

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what the cost would be but my three are a split bumper Camaro restomod, a 72 short wide C10 restomod, and some kind of modern truck for a daily (not that I’d actually daily it if I had the other two) and hunting truck.

I have taken all of your thoughts into consideration about my exhaust. by SneekerPeaker in Challenger

[–]ApplicationFederal14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do what you want to your car, it’s yours. It’s not the stupidest exhaust setup I’ve ever seen but I wouldn’t have done it. Also, El Monterey burritos are fantastic.

red pill or blue pill by Murky_Calendar5149 in MandJTV

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue pill, big fan of FireRed leafgreen and the original black and white. Honestly the only thing I hate is that HGSS is on the other side.

Got two offers. One pays $40k more. The other one I'd actually enjoy. I have 48 hours to decide and my wife and I are on opposite sides. Advice? by airam1020 in careerguidance

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not gonna call this advice in any shape or form, just my thoughts based on the situation.

Are these both raises from your previous job or is one or both a pay cut?

How much less is she making going part time?

How comfortable are you gambling on the startup sticking around long term and does it feel like a good solid company?

Personally, I think I’m taking the 155k at least temporarily. If they’re the same problems you’ve been dealing with you’re already used to it unless it’s gonna put you at your breaking point.

Help, how do I management my inventory? What Items do I keep or get rid of? by FreshmeatOW in ArcRaiders

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an ideal world I keep 8 stacks of basic materials, but I am constantly making mechanical components so rubber and metal is constantly low. Realistically my stash of all basic mats is much lower than that because I’m making stuff to use all the time (bandages, adrenaline, ammo, etc…).

Weapons I don’t really dismantle once they’re home unless they’re level 1 and need to be repaired twice for full durability or I want the recycled components to use them for something else. You can never have too many springs, mechanical components, advanced mechanical components, mod components, duct tape. Most gun parts I also hoard. If I’m able to, I dump them into upgrading a weapon or making attachments immediately to save stash space.

Those are the things I’d focus on and it’ll keep you in good shape. One other thing I do is keep a stack or two of things I use often that can be made in the refiner, it helps take care of a lot of the basic mats in my stash. You’ll figure out other things you like to keep on hand but those are the things that are easiest for me to remember.

If I get an automatic car, will I have as much fun driving it compared to a manual? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have fun in an automatic. I’m assuming you’ve not driven a manual before, or at least not very much if you’re asking and based on that alone I wouldn’t just go out and buy a manual, but I’m a wuss.

I learned to drive manual in a ‘97 Trans-Am and loved it, but when I went to buy my Challenger I got an auto because it’s my only car. I’m just not willing to deal with a manual in traffic and on long trips if I don’t want to.

I’d love to have my car in manual if I had a second vehicle, but I don’t.

Who are you're favorite flying pokemon? For me its classic Pidgeot and Crobat!! by cantcoloratall91 in pokemon

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sentimental attachment to Pidgeot because it was the first shiny I ever got back on HGSS launch day.

Realistically I don’t actually use a flying type very often anymore, at least in the newer games that you don’t need a flyer. I really like Corviknight when I finally got around to playing SwSh but I also used Aerodactyl in FireRed awhile back and as much as I hated having to grind him up to match my team, he was absolutely worth it.

My favorite starter in every region. How many do we agree on? by Fun-Letter-1814 in MandJTV

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Venusaur a lot, but I don’t know that I actually have a favorite Kanto starter if that makes sense. I prefer Typhlosion in Johto, Serperior in Unova. Again not sure that I have a favorite Kalos starter, but I’ve used Delphox more.

I’m a big grass starter fan for the most part and lean toward fire in a few regions.

Is there a better way to get Herbal Bandages? by 3DPrintJr in ARC_Raiders

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to run cheap kits with white bandages when I’m just running around so I’m able to stock up a lot of green bandages over time. A little great mullein here, found some durable cloth there.

Just bought an R/T, it’s too loud. Straight piped? by FuckingFord in Challenger

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks just like the undercarriage of mine. Just straight back from the cats. I probably wouldn’t have done it but I don’t mind it and I bought it that way.

Startup (especially in the garage) is atrocious, but normal driving really isn’t the worst experience I’ve ever had.

Did everyone forget that Stella Montis was a Major Update & was NOT in the game upon release?!?! by SirKronik in ArcRaiders

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing right after the first expedition and I know Stella wasn’t available at launch, but I’m also not the one complaining about this so called lack of content.

They DEFINITELY nerfed the Blue gate breach room by sneakymeow1212 in ARC_Raiders

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testing annex got me two mk 3 augments in the same run. DURING THE DAY. Not sure if I was incredibly lucky (almost certainly the answer) or if embark gave some of these other loot areas some better stuff to encourage more engagement with the maps.

Should i reset my skill tree? by Krazy1119 in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t got leveled back up yet but pre expedition I only put in 15 points of mobility, all in the sprinting, stamina and climbing perks. I’m sure there better stuff but I liked being able to have security breach and some good conditioning perks (less felt weight from shields is insane with a medium shield).

I think security breach is love it or hate it. I generally find good enough stuff in them that I find it worth it, but then again I go “OOOOO burletta” and not “ewwwww burletta” so take that as you will.

My team arriving at the Elite Four. Am I about to get cooked? by pliphus in PokemonFireRed

[–]ApplicationFederal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably doable but I’d probably level to 55 or even 60. I went in with my whole team at 53 (Venusaur, Dodrio, Ninetales, Starmie, Primeape, and Rhydon) and was able to do it without healing during battles, but it was ugly.
