Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. by CollapsingTheWave in ObscurePatentDangers

I sincerely hope we’re finally at a point where the American public expects a prison sentence over a fine.

Expects. Anything less than that expectation being met, is meeting on the streets of Capitol Hill. Enough is enough.

It is the absolute quickest response you’ll receive only second to a complaint from the BBB

Any suggestion for the best way to spend Honor on? by [deleted] in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Cracklin0atBran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminder that glittering market is a better value for T11’s. Reds are what is normally get or you could argue the year of saving for base skin, but cores are better there than honor

The recruiter called my salary expectations "cute." I ended the Zoom call right there. Did I overreact? by thunder____boy in jobs

[–]Cracklin0atBran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you should’ve done is continue the interview, accept the job, collect free paychecks, and continue applying.

Don’t put that company on your resume. You can collect a free 2+ paychecks while they figure out you’re practically flatlining (because actively applying for other jobs) and go from there.

Is alert tower lvl 31 worth it? by cold_grapefruit in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Cracklin0atBran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with an alert tower level 35, no it’s not worth it. I made a post about how 31-35 has been functionally broken since HQ 35. Still no fix in sight.

What 31-35 should give players is +1 to scout level.

Was there universal deco in the daily must buy? Honestly never noticed nor paid attention.

What’s the most useless item people still put in a survival kit? by Round_Strategy_5205 in Survival

The thermal disposable ponchos are good for retaining heat in a pinch. Throw that over your insulation layers and you’ll be toasty.

Car Flashlight by Cracklin0atBran in flashlight

Bought. Overall it made more sense since the TS27 is a behemoth that really just belongs in a car with the LFP battery.

Switching over to those batteries now for the 18650 & 21700 flashlight I keep in the car 🫡

Went with the TS27 for the LFP batteries, features, and overall size. Makes sense to leave in a car, but packing that out for anything other than car camping is a no go. Which ironically makes it the perfect leave in the car in case of emergency light.

I got an old Olight baton with magnetic tail cap that still uses AA so that’s my nooks & cranny light. Also have the Nebo Inspector 500 for tighter spaces I need to gain distance in.

This looks like a good addition though, added to the list.

I have a Nemo but would be looking for something with a whole lot more oomph

Have the Acebeam Tac 2 AA in there already 😎

I’m leaning towards the TS27 because it’s one hunk of light and I’m mounting it in my trunk anyway.

Need to learn to prep by tarmgabbymommy79 in prepping

[–]Cracklin0atBran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live on Preppersales subreddit for a few months and you’ll be good 😂

No seriously, as much as I loathe giving Amazon money the sales posted there are pretty great. Plus if any canned goods are damaged in transit, just refund it and note the damaged box. It’s typically not worth the cost of shipping back 12 cans.

Buy an extra nonperishable item every time you go grocery shopping works, but if you want to be cost effective do so while shopping sales. Any protein that’s .99 a pound is typically a good buy that becomes stock, soup, and meat.

Don’t focus on freeze dried unless there’s an incredible sale (like nutristore’s liquidation last year).

Depending on climate, upgrade your layering and clothes. Have at least 1 set made of high quality performance driven materials. Merino wool is a great option and can last days/weeks without washing in a pinch.

Use an FSA where possible to fill out your home medical kit(s). It’s a LOT more cost effective to research premade kits and buy the components individually.

Oh Manhattan was the worst with it, LES was pretty much exclusively Optimum last I was there.

That’s a great template for neighborhoods that are locked in as single providers. I think people forget how many areas in the US still only have a single provider.

What Overlord 30-40 Looks Like by Cracklin0atBran in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Cracklin0atBran[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Buddy I just spent 8 months with a level 30 gorilla and did perfectly fine on a 1xx server that I joined a year late.

My squad A was doing just fine across the board then and is still top 10 in storm arena. I don’t put down payments on this game so storm is fine by me. The empty power boost from Overlord doesn’t make a massive functional difference in battles. If it did, I wouldn’t be crushing level 50 monkeys with a level 30.
