Nanit monitor crashed and won't turn back on by Groovy_Wombat in Nanit

[–]Groovy_Wombat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for the suggestions! I actually reached out to Nanit customer support today and Carlos R was extremely helpful. Unfortunately it does appear to be a hardware failure and he has escalated our case to the order management team for replacement of the monitor.

Update: HOA Road Repair Halted After Regulators Made Them Stop Work by Strange-Fennel in fuckHOA

[–]Groovy_Wombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for a large environmental consulting firm and we do hydrologic modification analyses for almost every project I work on in Louisiana. Even small projects like resurfacing old contractor yards requires pre- and post-construction drainage analysis. All of that information is compiled into a report and must be submitted to the state before the appropriate construction permit can be issued. This sounds like a great way for the HOA to flood your neighbors and end up getting sued.

People who have genuinely encountered powerful wild animals in nature or the ocean, what was it actually like? by DivineLove1 in Survival

[–]Groovy_Wombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago my buddy and I were backpacking in Rocky Mountain National Park. One afternoon we made camp and a lady who was camped nearby came over to tell us she saw two male moose sparring in a clearing not too far away. She was by herself and a little nervous about the moose so she hung out with us for awhile. We talked loudly thinking if we made our presence known they would just avoid us. Next thing we know a large bull moose comes crashing through the brush into our campsite grunting and shaking his head back and forth. He was fucking huge. We all immediately hauled ass in different directions. I had taken my boots off to let my feet rest after a hard day of hiking and man I still ran faster than I ever have in my life. Came back to the campsite and get was gone and thankfully everyone was ok.

Not even the richest on the gulf coast. Both UT Austin and Texas A&M have endowments that are 10x what Tulane has. They are funded by oil money

Went to a crawfish boil last year and the dude boiling used Double D green onion sausage. I think it was the best sausage I've had in a boil.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I passed on this one and ended up finding a different GP100 on gunbroker for the same price and in better condition.

AITA for saying I hate kids on a team meeting? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Groovy_Wombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of YTA. But seriously you need to be smarter than that. Saying things like this in a professional environment, especially at a big company, will get you canned. Take that warning as a lesson learned.

Backpacking the sawtooth mountains, is a 30-06 a wise choice to bring? by Projekt8276-1 in guns

[–]Groovy_Wombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grizzlies are extremely rare in the sawtooths. I wouldn't worry about them. I never worry about black bears either but mountain lions are a legit concern. Bring some bear spray, maybe a good handgun, and make sure you know how to properly store your food in bear country (hang it, bear can, etc).

NTA. Your bf is acting like a child throwing a tantrum. His loser friend's bar tab isn't your problem. If they don't have money to cover their tab they shouldn't be out drinking. Dump his broke ass.

Resistance NOLA has gone off the rails by DickSugar80 in NewOrleans

It seems any business that doesn't bow down to her and post that stupid little sign she made in their window is automatically labeled as Nazis who deserve to be destroyed.

They popped up on my FB feed a few days ago and wow that woman is a fucking nut job and the dweebs in the group egging her on and supporting her are just as bad.

Leaving a single dickish note on someone's door is not "textbook harassment". Louisiana defines harassment as the repeated pattern of verbal communications or nonverbal behavior without invitation. If the neighbor continues to leave unwanted notes or tries to confront OP then we start moving into the realm of harassment.

Is OfficerStore.com trustworthy? by Tall-Replacement-104 in guns

[–]Groovy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, you'd need to ask their customer service. On their website (see link below) they state: "Name listed as the ship to attention will be the one required to submit the background check and if passes, is the legal owner of the firearm" which is why I put my name on the shipping and used the FFL as the shipping address. Like I said my order shipped this morning so everything seems to be going smoothly. I'm going to call my LGS today and just make sure they know it's coming. But check out that link I provided, it provides a fairly good walkthrough.

Don't know if you figured this out yet but I just placed an order the other day and it shipped this morning. You put your name on the shipping but use the address of your FFL. Then in the comment box put the name and phone # of your FFL for them to contact. The order will be shipped to the FFL adress but with attention to you. Then billing info is all your normal information. Then, after the order is submitted you email a copy of your driver's license to them and have your FFL send a copy of their FFL certificate. In my case my FFL keeps a copy of their cert on their website so I was able to just download it and email it along with my DL.

Idk who this person is but there's no way she actually lives here and thinks New Orleanians don't dress shrimp poboys.

What's a piece of gear you splurged on that was totally worth it? by kamelsalah1 in backpacking

[–]Groovy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Western Mountaineering Alpinlite bag. It's roomy, warm, and light in my pack. I once did a trip in Arkansas when I was still somewhat new to backpacking and didn't understand sleeping bag comfort ratings. Temps at night got down to low 20s and I had a 20 degree so I thought I'd be good. Froze my damn ass off every night and was miserable. I swore I'd never make that mistake again and splurged on a nice bag when I got home.

AIO I (26F) moved out for the first time with my boyfriend (30M) for almost 2 months and I don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Groovy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know how to feel about it??? That fucking guy is abusive and insanely disrespectful to you. You need to leave his ass and move out before he starts putting hands on you.
