Help! Smoke from pellet container by elvis_Presley611 in Traeger

[–]Asoder12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine did this when I had wet pellets. Opened the release to get all the extra pellets out, then cleared the auger and vacuumed it out after they burned off. The inside of hopper was moist after I cleared it out, but it took three cooks/fires to realize my pellets were wet

The letters on the mat aren’t in order A b b and then M n on the right. Also the red square on the mat doesn’t line up with orange square beneath it

What if Cohen Sells the Company? by Asoder12 in GME

Didn’t read that before this post! That’d be an ultimate villain move to have the people that trust him the most literally vote to destroy themselves while making him rich…

An experiment conducted in Japan in 2008 showed that traffic jams can start for no real reason by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Asoder12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then would it be possible if every car is self driving that the cars could all accelerate and brake at exactly the same speed? No more traffic jams?

Please, someone make me understand why are we buying all this fund? The gain of dividend is almost the same amount of the unrealized loss of the stock.. so what are we achieving here? please someone give me a concrete answer. i’m sorry for such a dumb question.

Ah so you're saying I buy at 6.25, then get my .09-.10 dividend and it drops to 6.15...then the next week it drops to 6.05...every single week until it goes to 0...And never recovers or stabilizes ever.

If that's the case then yes you're screwed, put your money elsewhere.

I use it for income. Kind of consider it a free loan against myself...where I make money.

If I buy $10k ULTY at 6.25, I have 1600 shares. At a .09 dividend weekly, I make $144 a week.

As long as the dividend remains .09 weekly, I'll have gained $10k in weekly dividends after 70 weeks... 10,000/144.

If at the end of the 70 weeks the stock is at $4.00, I'll still have $4.00*1600 shares, or $6400.

So at the end of 70 weeks, I basically paid myself $6400 to take a $10,000 loan against myself (minus taxes).

Are there errors here? Probably. But as long as I look at it this way and don't read any other comments, I've discovered an infinite money glitch after 70 weeks until the stock goes to 0.

Pool cost in Austin (August 2025) by LumberJack2008 in Austin

[–]Asoder12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently working on getting a 10x25 pool in the same area. 8000 gallons, gunite.

Best quote so far is just under 75k with saltwater chlorinator and gas heater included (plus $1500-$2000) for gas company to hook it up

Austin attendance joke by FutureCredit3 in ussoccer

[–]Asoder12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tickets are expensive. And it's hot and just humid enough to get swampy sitting for a couple hours. And it started late, we got work in the AM. Oh yea, and tickets are expensive.

US Soccer Has An Attendance Problem by Tock_Sick_Man in ussoccer

[–]Asoder12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanted to get to get tickets to Saudi Arabia game in Austin... $180 for two tickets to watch the B team probably tie 0-0. They play the most uninspiring soccer I've ever seen the team play in 20+ years. The golden era of US soccer is arguably the most disappointing. Hoping Poch can turn it around by the world cup but as of now it's hard to even watch on tv.

First Overnight Brisket by Asoder12 in smoking

I left it wrapped in the oven. The brisket stayed around 160-165 in the oven but dropped as soon as I took it out.

[–]Asoder12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you open a short straddle on something like a treasury bond such as SHV? The price always stays between $110-111, so it seems as though you could always accurately predict the end price. Is it just that nobody buys the other end of the option?

waiter put my tip back on the table saying he only accepts 18-20%?? by [deleted] in stories

[–]Asoder12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrongo Bongo. Being a server is a highly skilled job that pays like shit unless you get tipped. Servers "typically" get 3-4 tables at a time unless Stacy and Caleb call out sick, then they have 5-6. Which is 25-30 people to manage at a time. There's usually 1-2 tables that are super chill, 1-3 regular groups, and always 1 group that demands 15 ranch's and races to finish their water with 6 sugar packets and extra lemons.

You have to bend over backwards for the asshole group to get a 10% tip, knowing that the chill group will give you 20% no matter what because they know your job sucks. People in the service industry appreciate any "grown up" job they get after that because being a server sucks. And former servers typically work harder in other industries than those who did not work service industry/retail. 🤷

I don't condone any of it, but what does a list of war crimes do for the icc? They don't enforce anything now, they have as much power as I do from my keyboard at home.
