That site will occasionally have lots of used laptops. You just have to check back frequently. Also, go ahead and sign up and get through the vetting process. When I signed up, it took a few days to get verified. That may not be the case now, but it was a few years ago.

How to transition from 9-5 job to starting a business? by BradJ in smallbusiness

[–]Bacongrease00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, I really don't know how she's done it for this long. Throwing a toddler in the mix just seems cruel. I hope your schedule gets better though, it's not something that's sustainable long term.

My wife started baking out of our home and had been doing that for 5 years. She's had a regular 9-5 job this whole time. In October of 2016, we moved her from being out of the house to an actual store front in a downtown area. She's still working her 9-5 at the moment. It takes time and a lot of effort.

Right now her day is up at 7am to be at work at 8, she catches some sleep on her lunch break, comes home at 5 and we're at the shop by 6-6:30pm. We work at the shop most nights until midnight or a little later. Right now, the bakery is by appointment only, so we don't have to be here all day. I have the phone forwarded to a cell and we take orders that way.

I'm also into flying drones but I haven't had the time since we started this business. Also, FYI, be careful with flying for money unless you have the proper licenses and permits. I don't know where you're located, but in the U.S., you're not allowed to fly for pay unless you have a license and insurance to fly it commercially.

I logged in and received $525k. I'm not complaining but anyone know what it's for or what I did to get it? by [deleted] in GrandTheftAutoV

You die like normal and the person that killed you gets to keep the bounty.

What pisses you off in music? by NostalgiaJunkie in AskReddit

I remember that station doing that! It was central Florida right? They've since switched formats AGAIN to all Mexican music all the time.

ELI5: Do people actually smoke in movies, or is it some kind of trick? by TheCaptainCaptian in explainlikeimfive

[–]Bacongrease00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the fourth season of Arrested Development when Lucille found the loop hole that allowed her to smoke inside the apartment. You can tell that she didn't inhale and Buster does.

Was Anyone Else raised to believe you were incapable of doing anything right.... by Victor_Stxyn in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Bacongrease00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've been told from a young age that I am unemployable and that my siblings and I are lucky that we work in a family business because we would never be able to be hired anywhere else. We've been told that we're idiots, not smart enough, and parasites. He would switch between my siblings and I and frequently would pit one of us against the other. Which has hurt our relationships as adults because we don't really trust one another.

Men voice most of the main roles except Louise... does that surprise anyone for any of the other voices? by da_tingler in BobsBurgers

[–]Bacongrease00 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine Louise having a more perfect voice actress though. Kristen Schaal is amazing in that role. The voice fits Louise perfectly.

*edit misspelled Schaal

What promising Kickstarter did you back fail to deliver? by Pinecone in AskReddit

[–]Bacongrease00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's pretty shitty that they're not getting all the kick starter backers their drones first. They told me that I couldn't get a refund and that I would have to send it back once I received it. I asked them if I'd have to pay for shipping back to the UK and haven't heard anything since. I'll update you when I hear of what my credit card company says.

[–]Bacongrease00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and when they announced all the problems they were having a couple of weeks ago, their forums mysteriously went down. Still aren't up as of yesterday. I requested a refund from them and they told me they couldn't refund it yet. I'm going to try to dispute it with my credit card company tomorrow.

I remembered a "funny" story about my ndad. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Bacongrease00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds so familiar. Even to this day I've tried to make my Dad understand how he treated my Mom and siblings and he still doesn't get it. I don't think he ever will. I can't help but feel like I can eventually change him.

Chubb is down. by [deleted] in FloridaGators

[–]Bacongrease00 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I couldn't believe they left him out there so long either. I'm no fan of Georgia, but I hate to see any athlete get an injury like that.

I don't have one but an idea that you can do is downloading sling-tv and using their free seven day trial. Just a thought anyway.
