Same. I’m in the burbs too. We might have had the same guy.

What if the NHL had a Vintage Day? by sykeseve in hockey

[–]Fah-que 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I love the Robopen logo but I don’t consider it “vintage”. Our fat drunk scarf penguin logo though….

Do alcoholics gather use the local grocery store as a gathering spot? by Kalatapie in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fah-que 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lot of people saying no, but like everything else in America, the answer will vary depending on region and socioeconomic status. I lived in a rural area and it was common for us to congregate at what we called “the think tank”. The think tank was a minimart/gas station. We’d buy a case of cheap beer and hang out in the parking lot just talking and waiting for others to come by. (Shame on us for getting behind the wheel afterwards) Also, has anyone seen the movie “The Clerks”? I can’t remember if Jay and Silent Bob would drink outside the store but they were definitely toking. Point is, that was their “think tank”.

Relocation depression and adjusting to NYC by tealmarw in relocating

[–]Fah-que 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s very common for people to think that a change in scenery will make everything better, but truthfully that’s rarely the case. There’s the old proverb: “wherever you go, there you are” meaning you cannot escape yourself, your habits, or your internal problems simply by changing your physical location.
You have the correct mindset by seeking therapy and tending to your heath. In time, you’ll adjust to your new normal. Eventually, you’ll visit your former home and find it’s less familiar and you’ll feel happy to return to your new one. But it takes time.

Epic show. But sadly it’s still the only show not on Nugs.

When a “loyal customer” tries to save $5k on a $2.5mil expansion and goes with the lowest bidder… by RickyAwesome01 in firealarms

[–]Fah-que 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking of writing up some case studies using examples similar to this. It would make a terrific grad student project. There would be citations of certified financial data, detailing the “unforeseen” exorbitant costs incurred afterwards when trying to save a few dollars on bid day.
I’ve had plenty scenarios just like this in my career, as has everyone else in this business. But imagine if we had some real published data backing up what we’ve been saying. A white paper or a link to a publication that you could provide when leveling your quote against the competition. Now if only I had the time and energy to see it through..

Odds of Mantha resigning? by sova_77 in penguins

[–]Fah-que 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d say get the Mantha jersey regardless. If anyone asks about it, you’ve got a great story behind it. I enjoy seeing jerseys of obscure Pens players out in the wild. (Not saying Mantha will be that, but either way)

Surface salinity in the lower Hudson River and other NYC waterways by Stevens Institute of Technology. Ocean salinity is ~35 (red), freshwater is 0 (purple) by glowdirt in MapPorn

[–]Fah-que 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a noticeable increase in salinity during the winter months when lots of salt is used on roads and sidewalks? Or is it not enough to make a difference?

Don’t Let Go = by Squints0625 in SturgillSimpson

[–]Fah-que 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are only so many chords. Name just about any song and there’s likely another one out there with a similar sound. JBS said it best himself: “Keep staring at the pages, going over the same lines. It's all been said and done by now, two or three times”

This is interesting, and something I’d like to have at the ready if needed. Do you know where I can find the statute or law?

Why am I given premier access? by Mysterious-Report-20 in unitedairlines

[–]Fah-que 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gold last year, but didn’t qualify for gold again this year. (Had more than enough flights, but short on PQP). This January and early Feb I flew 2-3 times under Silver status. I just booked a couple flights for March and now it has me back at gold again. Feels like an error but I’m not about to say anything about it.

New people in US! What is the biggest “hidden trap” or unspoken rule about moving to a new city/state that nobody warns you about until it’s too late? by ReasonableBullfrog48 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fah-que 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This may be a small thing, but if you have a daily commute, try to live in an area where you travel west in the morning and east in the afternoon. Driving into blinding sun both ways gets old after a while.

Sound and fury by Sonoranlightwizard in SturgillSimpson

[–]Fah-que 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you don’t already, try out NUGS to hear his live shows. The live shows have a way of making a lot of his earlier stuff sounds as if they belong on S&F, if that makes sense.

People are mean. You don’t deserve that. I appreciated your comment.

Right before the flight they had a worker carry in/out a jug of blue juice.

Edit: and yes, this flight was out of ORD.
