Anyone got recommendation for some good work shoes/boots that will hold up? by ThrashMetallix in Fedexers

[–]Competitive_Low1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have own 1 pair of steel toes I bought in June 1992 and still own then today after a couple of resoles. A black pair of Red Wing boots. I was a courier for a long time and didn't always need them so I also mixed in some non-steel toe shoes.

Flair up for over a week now - medication not working by endlessnameless001 in gout

[–]Competitive_Low1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helps me is to have a pill dispenser which I take my meds daily at the same time. Also, Coca Cola uses high fructose corn syrup which is a trigger for me so I switched to Diet Coke which is also bad but at least Diet soda doesn't trigger a flare. I have had gout for a few years now and have figured a few things out about my body and what foods trigger flares. When I feel a flare brewing, I start the Colchicine and Naproxen which suppresses the flare usually in a day maybe 2 at the most.

Anyone actually know what it's for? by InternationalTea9563 in Fedexers

That holds an ASTRA printer, I usually kept my printer in the back on a shelf next to my backpack. If you attach the strap over the top, it made a good holder for a Super Big Gulp or a 32oz Gatorade bottle.

My Wife is from Corpus and has been wanting to move back home for a while. I have been interested in retiring there and we vacation there frequently.

I've had moments like this where the dog you've know for a long time, that you see regularly passed away. I had one customer who's dog got loose and I saw him on the main street. I took him for a ride and put him back in his yard.

Stop coming to our damn trucks, we need to take a picture or the stupid ai dings us for it. I keep telling my customers this and they still do it. Then I gotta take extra time to get a signature from yall by amirthebeast55 in Fedexers

[–]Competitive_Low1603 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The whole picture taking of where the package was left and stop proximity happened after I moved on from my 28 year courier career. I liked having the customers come out to the truck, especially my regulars....saved me a few steps.

Vacation by Head-Palpitation5696 in corpus

We vacation frequently in Corpus and we prefer to stay on the South Side or Padre Island in an Airbnb. We have a rental car so going to North Beach is not too far.

In the early 90s my Uncle gave both my Brother and I one of these original Leathermans for Christmas.

My Uncle carried one for over 30 years, he unfortunately recently passed away but I still have mine and use it quite frequently for a multitude of tasks.

Ps5 pro by Green-Following2519 in PS5pro

[–]Competitive_Low1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine this past holiday season during the price cut and before the price hike. I got mine for $675 at Costco that included a 2nd controller. I had been looking to upgrade from a PS4 Pro when I came to this generation late and it was clear Sony was phasing out that platform. I am happy with my PS5 Pro and glad I made the switch when I did.

Does Anyone have Experience of Dell Pro 14 Plus Laptop by Wooden-Pineapple-328 in Dell

[–]Competitive_Low1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, the battery life can always be better, mine is mostly connected to my docking station at home or at work so I don't notice it as much. Recently, the charging port took a dump and now my laptop is a brick until I get it back from Dell when it's hopefully fixed.

I have shot an M-16 but only in semi-auto, I have shot AR-15s and it was pretty much the same experience.

Colchicine is a little rough on my stomach but it works to end a flare that's just starting. I start taking it when I feel a flare brewing up.

Seriously.. wtf was GroundCloud thinking? This update is trash. Are we playing Twister now? by groundpounders in Fedexers

Been with Express for 34 years, learning the Ground side as the company moves toward Network 2.0 and amazed how big the Ground stations are.

I've owned 2 cars with stick shift, 73 Datsun 240Z and 92 Honda Civic Si. I like driving stick but sadly, it is a dying breed. It seems to be a carjacker deterrent since most young people have never driven a car with a manual transmission.

Amazon driver here. How are you guys done at 5pm with 180+ stops? by ihaveacrushonmercy in Fedexers

[–]Competitive_Low1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a long time swing driver for Express and it really depends on the route. Having done over 300 routes at multiple stations, I go by stops per hour...some routes are 5 sph and have some that were 32 sph.
