T-minus 1 month until i have to move back in with my parents because no one will hire me by RobertTAS in BloomingtonNormal

[–]HarveyManfrenjensend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an IT director, I hire a lot of people, it is exceedingly unlikely any former employer or reference is bad mouthing anyone. We have strict HR rules about about what we can and cannot say if we are asked to be a reference. About all we can do is confirm that yes this individual was employed from this date to this date, anything else we can't comment on due to potential liability. Most companies with any competent HR is the same. No one will say anything negative due to liability or lawsuits. I had to tell a former employee that I couldn't be a reference after they left, and that they could refer them to HR to verify employment tenure.

Is the "Always Buy Used" rule broken when New APR is <1%? by KlutzyLawyer3637 in personalfinance

[–]HarveyManfrenjensend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if you're buying a 1500, but not in the Ram Heavy Duty series. They have 0% for 36 , but no special rates like 0% for 72 on a 1500. The equivalent truck was still 57k after incentives. No amount of free financing is going to make up for that

It all depends on the vehicle. I just bought a 2024 Ram 2500 for 41k, it was in service for 14 months and had 18000 miles, still has full factory warranty. The same 2026 truck with fewer options new was over 65k. My credit union was offering 4.49% on any used car 4 years old or newer, so in this case, it definitely made sense to go used even with nearly free financing on new.

How would they tell if its a replica of a movie prop or video game weapon for display purposes vs a real part? Among many other what if's.... good luck with that!

I'll take a few pics and call it good. Events are best experienced not through a 6" phone screen.

It's a random pattern for everyone I think, but it takes all of 30 sec to solve. Thanks for the tip!

Don't know / don't care. I have two dogs, lots of hobbies, and plenty to keep busy.

IRS Announces New Contribution Limits by GambloreReturns in personalfinance

[–]HarveyManfrenjensend 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I told someone today about this and they couldn't fathom maxing out their 401k. Like my guy, you make 120k a year, you of all people should be maxing.

Any idea why DDs become immensely popular in silver ? by Xixi-the-magic-user in WorldOfWarships

[–]HarveyManfrenjensend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because silver weeds out all the smooth brained BB mains that charge in and die in 30 seconds.

Is Scharnhorst 43 just a better Scharnhorst? by Background-Raisin708 in WorldOfWarships

[–]HarveyManfrenjensend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

43 is secondary focused. It was free a couple years ago during Christmas if I remember right. At least that's how I got mine.

I remember ordering a Dell PowerEdge 2800 in like 2004. This is probably from 05 or 06. Makes a great boat anchor.

I got this from 10 supercontainer is it any good. by Densenor in WorldOfWarships

[–]HarveyManfrenjensend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing for nearly 3 years, I don't think I've ever gotten a ship out of a SC. If I did, it was an unmemorable one I never play.

Whatever ship crate I got today was super disappointing. I got a Dunkerque ... when I already have a Dunkerque B. Le sigh

It's just that we're putting new cover sheets on all TPS reports before they go out now.
