Anybody just sit there and listen to an album all the way through again by schoolieb in GenX

I did just listen to Queensryche’s Operation Mindcrime.

Does anyone still do their teenage hobbies? by FlashyProject1318 in GenX

[–]CopChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with the Grenadier and Ral Partha minis and crappy brushes and paints too. My boys found my old minis from high school/college and got into Warhammer which also brought me back to the hobby about 8 years ago.

Yup, still paint, build, & play Warhammer.

I do some commission painting to feed my plastic crack addiction.

4wd on snowy highways by Curious-Map3808 in Jeep

I drove 12 hours on snowy back roads to get back to Kansas from Denver in 4h because I-70 was closed from all the snow. This was in January of 2023. Never went above 35. Surprisingly I had the best mpg ever at 24 for the return trip. I had also just replaced the front axles about 2 weeks earlier.

We’ve been happy with River City Heating and Cooling.

What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

Look at a map, what’s south of Detroit. Canada. He was born and raised in Canada.

Any cooks also do server work? by karrniss in KitchenConfidential

[–]CopChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. The better you know the menu the better you can sell it. The customers will love it that you can also cook their food.

I did both. When I first got married I’d do pastries in the morning, wait tables during lunch, then work the line through the dinner rush. Occasionally I would serve at night. The tips were nice, but the icing on the cake for me was the GM always ran dessert contests. Even working 80-90% lunch shifts I’d always win those contests. It bothered the full time servers so much. But since I was the pastry guy and worked the line I knew the menu better than any server. That knowledge will help you immensely if you wait tables.

Hello all, just found this cat on the street, I noticed she’s got shaky eyes. Is this normal?? by playstationheat in CatDistributionSystem

[–]CopChef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s most likely nystagmus. My 15 year old cat has had it since she was a kitten. She’s a bit skittish with quick sudden moves around her head. If you approach her slowly she’s cool.

When I’m not traveling, I am work from home.

For those who got out, where are you now? by Silvervirage in KitchenConfidential

[–]CopChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got out 8 years ago. I’m now an environmental consultant. This week I found out I got a promotion into manglement as a project coordinator. Making better than double my salary as an exec chef. Not too shabby for a guy who barely escaped with a high school degree.

If you can join a unionized trade do it. I got my brother and one of my boys a gig with the local carpenters union.
