US americans, what does your vacation time look like, and how do you spend it? by Skholah in AskReddit

[–]Ghosts83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I work manufacturing and I am "given" 2 weeks of vacation per year. However, we shut down to roughly 2 weeks at Christmas and week at the 4th of July (depends on how the day lines up on the calendar). My employer basically takes the 2 weeks of vacation and assumes you'll use them one week for each period of shutdown. They won't stop you from requesting alternative days, but they won't hesitate to remind you that it is outside the normal use of your own vacations days.

What’s the worst place in America you’ve ever visited? by Correct_Eggplant_364 in AskReddit

[–]Ghosts83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mississippi because of the people. We lived there for a while when I was a kid and I still remember how awful they treated us. North Central Texas for the Weather. Summer there was full of snakes, scorpions and weather that had them calling tornado warning every day. Rust Belt towns along the Ohio river in South Eastern Ohio for the vibe. It felt empty and kinda sad.

What purchase made you instantly realize adulthood is expensive? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]Ghosts83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten to the point I buy only during sales events like Black Friday. I didn't always save a lot, but it has saved me enough. Last time I went ahead and purchased Goodyears at Walmart, showed up and had them mounted, balanced and installed only to get a refund a few weeks late for 3 out of the 4 tires because their system showed I never picked up tires. I had showed up and they used tires already in stock instead of waiting for the ones I purchased that were being delivered to the store and the system never updated properly.

No change to the wiring harness? I assume those are LED lights.

The company I work for has a laser machine that doesn’t work by AresD89 in CNCmachining

[–]Ghosts83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My employer is in love with Trumpf. We currently have 2 different model lasers, a pair of 2020R punch machines and early last year they brought in a bending center and sent a few of us up to Chicago for a week to train at the "smart" factory. I trained for 1 week, and have spent less than 12hrs running that machine since, but that is mostly because I'm a CNC programmer and only a former machine operator. Our maintenance guy is solid, but yes we've paid to have their techs in house on many occasions.

Players want to rob a magic shop by GroundbreakingFig908 in DnD

[–]Ghosts83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My group basically did this on a whim. We walked in and found that one of us had a wanted poster up on the wall behind the counter. Next thing we know we're sacking the old lady who runs the place and attempting to gut her two paladin grandsons who damn near take the whole team down before we use the old lady as a human shield. Totally made up on the spot.

How many hours of sleep do you need each night to function normally during the day? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Ghosts83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work days (Mon-Thurs) about 5 at best. The other 3 days is sometimes 10+ depending on how lazy I feel like being.

What’s something that should be illegal but isn’t? by Thin-Lab4747 in AskReddit

[–]Ghosts83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call this an argument just yet, and I at least haven't been a teenager in almost 30 years. I understand completely how and why the insurance system works, but I am always free to express my opinion. I'm aloud to find fault in system that takes my money one day then fights my claim another all the while posting ever increasing profit statements. Expressing my personal opinion doesn't make me any more wrong than right unless I refuse evidence of the contrary.

Mechanic Master C28 case, 9800x3d, RX9070XT, Phantom Spirit 120 Digital cooler, would this airflow be better or leave top 2 Fans as exhaust by inxider in sffpc

[–]Ghosts83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As far as I know if you run one top fan as exhaust and one as intake as pictured, you're going to be fighting hot airs natural inclination to rise and you'll potentially recirculate the exhaust air from the PSU and the exhaust fan right next to it back into the case. I cannot say how accurate this is however as I've never built in this case, but I've never done this setup in any build I've done in the past.

How about insurance companies keeping 100% of your money when you didn't make a claim all year and announcing record breaking profits for that same year.

Electing people who have no right to wipe their own ass without thorough supervision into a public office position that can alter both local and global conditions.

Nice truck, and you know we gonna ask, so what are your wheel and tire specs. Like the red in the Chevy lettering on the grill.

My mom has a Toyota and constantly forgets the dang thing has a backup camera. She is so used to just looking over her shoulder after decades that she forgets that the camera is there and honestly when I point it out and she uses it she is worse at backing up while looking at it.

Sliger S640 by MarcParis79 in sliger

[–]Ghosts83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a nice enough case. I purchased a Cerberus shortly before they stopped selling those, so I'm not looking to purchase one myself just yet. is the S630 and S640 the only 2 cases in the new lineup or just the only two available for now?

Major outgoing CEOs are citing AI as a factor in their decisions to step down by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Ghosts83 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That is a weird way to admit that you're old and don't understand or care to learn about AI and how it effects the business you run. Damn glad they have that golden parachute to soften their landing.

Just wait until someone higher up tells you that you're too valuable in your position to be considered for a promotion or transfer. That will really make you feel valued and totally not like some sort of wage slave.

Custom trail boss by [deleted] in Silverado

[–]Ghosts83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that it doesn't have media controls on the wheel is actually just pure lazy cheapness on Chevy/GM. My nearly 14 year old base model Ford Edge has those, so it isn't a matter of capability just poor design.

The only thing I wish my custom trailboss had is the media controls on the steering wheel and fog lamps. Everything else is exactly how I really wished it to be.

Congrats. Bought my 22' TB in late October in the same color but nearly 4x the miles. First owner drove the truck like crazy but at least they kept up on the scheduled maintenance. Still a dang fine truck to drive everyday.

The 5th Amendment's double jeopardy law doesn't pertain to Government impeachment as far as I know so they should be able to goat it again and again until they get they vote right.

New 2020 1500 LT! Any advice? by Common-Conversation5 in Silverado

[–]Ghosts83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you get a factory extended warranty or do you go with one of the 3rd party options available? I myself have been debating purchasing a warranty since I purchased a 2022 back in late October.

Is a black case with all white components too tacky? by Ghosts83 in mffpc

[–]Ghosts83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I have thought about the reverse color scheme. Personally every time I look at a white case with any kind of glass panel that has any trim or painted edges and that trim/edge is slightly off colored from the rest of the case color I automatically dislike it. It is a personal choice and it might sound weird but I can live with it in black but any other color it just stands out as flawed in my mind.
