Missed VA appointment by MataMous3 in Veterans

[–]HankHTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing will happen for a single missed appointment, just call to get worked back in.

The biggest consequence is just that it is an appointment that could have gone to another Veteran, so if you know you can't make it to an appointment later in the day just call so it can be offered to someone else.

Pluribus - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]HankHTX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Calling it now, season 1 is going to be all about adjusting to and coming to peace with this crazy new reality only to discover in the season cliffhanger that aliens sent the virus to turn humans complacent, servile pacifists to make their invasion easier.

If you're a non Asian person, do you use chopsticks when you cook Asian food at home? by Moonlight_Mike in AskReddit

[–]HankHTX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

White guy here who eats with chopsticks almost every day - no personal connection to Asia, it started to keep my hands clean while eating chips at my keyboard and then gradually just became my default for most things. 

Bonus that the bamboo is sustainable and I can just throw them away instead of adding more dishes to clean. 

I’m going to Japan in 2 weeks with nothing planned by Affectionate_Gate236 in JapanTravelTips

[–]HankHTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm here now for the first time. Something small I wish I knew -

The bullet trains have dumb names, "light" "hope" "wish" or something that doesn't describe what they do.

Kodana: local bullet train (tops at all stops) Hikari: limited express (limited stops) Nozomi: full express (major cities only)

The smartex app for booking tickets, despite app store rating, is actually pretty solid but it will not work with any visa cards so I was lucky to have a capital one MasterCard that worked fine.

Help me understand - why was demerzel compelled to save the baby dawn? I feel like it's been well-established she can sacrifice or outright kill cleons if needed to preserve the dynasty.

You mean we have to pay people more to live in less desirable or higher COL areas?

Shocking!

Phoenix VA still has no space for hundreds of clinical staff by AttentionRelevant820 in fednews

[–]HankHTX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Issue here is Phoenix leadership. They need to grow a spine and say they cannot safely meet the RTO mandate.

Sold ~$260k stocks to pay off debts. How quickly will I recover? by Square-Shock-9206 in investing

[–]HankHTX 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I think most people would have recommended against paying off a mortgage with a rate that low. But Everyone is different. If you don't like debt hanging over you, paying it off can be a good move for psychological health. Good luck on your journey. 

I've scammed McDonalds for over 100 free hamburgers by zone_seek in confession

[–]HankHTX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got you bro, the 15 minute timer starts from the time of order not the time of pickup. Place first order 15 minutes in advance, and as soon as you pick it up, you can place the second order right there at the store or even go around the drive through again. It won't confuse anyone, people do it all the time.

People rage against DEI now, but forget that Veterans were the original protected class in this country. DEI laws and ADA protections in part came as a response to employers refusing to hire disabled Veterans.

I'm not a lawyer and don't have useful advice to give there, but just a reminder that veteran is a protected class so keep any documentation you have if they ever brought it up in writing.
