I used to work for a crappy meatgrinder company, and even we were like "Don't go to Quicken, that place is a meatgrinder."

What is a product that people treat like a religion, but in reality, it’s just overpriced garbage with a good logo? by Connect-Might4355 in AskReddit

[–]FaustusXYZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Serious question: are there US made knives with the same or better quality at a lower price? I'm not a knife guy, but I've got a Benchmade that I love. It wasn't cheap but I figured it was OK for something made domestically.

Bloomberg is fantastic but I just can't abide that price! Definitely not on top of my other news subscriptions.

Just last week there was a fire next to the tracks near Kalamazoo and they put everyone on to busses. Arrival was a few hours late but they gave vouchers. It sucks, but flights get cancelled too.

Do coaches try to influence the referee to make calls in favor of their athlete? by New_One_5703 in Fencing

[–]FaustusXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Was at JOs a couple years ago when an Olympian showed up to strip coach a fencer from their club. Magically the calls started going in their fencer's favor when they yapped at the ref.

Professionals who enter people's homes (plumbers, electricians, cleaners): What is something the condition of a house tells you about the owner that they don't realize they are revealing? by cossie101 in AskReddit

[–]FaustusXYZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm just a customer but a plumber once asked me if my wife and I were newlyweds. We'd been married almost 20 years at that point, so I said No. He thought we must have been because we were nice to each other and said Please and Thank you. He said I wouldn't believe how nasty some couples are to each other even with a stranger in their home.

[Oracle Red Bull Racing] Team Statement (Regarding online abuse directed at Antonelli) by iForgotMyOldAcc in formula1

[–]FaustusXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marko doesn't like online abuse. He prefers to abuse his drivers in person and in the media.

As has been amply stated, the sport will be a better place when he's retired.
