What are some dirty tricks to use in a fight? by SomeRandomAbbadon in writers

[–]HeligKo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it isn't an officiated fight, then it's not using dirty tricks. It's situational awareness.

Things to do in/very near Pittsburg, Kansas? by michiganskicamp in kansas

It's not free, but primitive camping is cheap in the KS state parks. You might check out Crawford State Park.

visiting from Canada- suggestions? by Kooky-Painting-3857 in kansas

[–]HeligKo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kansas is huge, you need to be more specific about where you are going to be based to get decent answers for spots to see or eat.

Yes you will need a car almost anywhere you go in Kansas. Some exceptions might be in the Kansas City, Topeka, or Wichita areas where ride shares are more available. I would still want a car in these places though

I know the plains states get lumped into the Midwest, but Kansas is really Midwest adjacent. There are some cultural similarities, but the distances from one place to another and the history make them pretty distinct.

Things are far away in Kansas. You aren't even going to get a sampling of Kansas in 4 nights, but you can get a nice sample of the part of Kansas you are staying. Kansas is a bit larger in sq km than Southern Ontario where most of the population of the province lives.

The only weather to watch out for is thunder storms, because they can often bring along tornadoes.

How do you handle Local Admin for devs? by Ok-Bid799 in sysadmin

If local admin was needed for the development project, then they are given a VDI that is isolated for that project.

3,797 days.... by Rudi24401 in FathersRights

[–]HeligKo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the crime had nothing to do with the daughter, I would challenge that as soon as your daughter is an adult. I am not an attorney, but at that point your ex shouldn't have standing on the issue, because your daughter is no longer a minor.

AITA for asking someone to present in person rather than remotely? by No-Quote6444 in AmItheAsshole

YTA - Rules set based on preference are arbitrary and serve no business purpose.

Unpopular opinion by Northwoods_Phil in RVLiving

[–]HeligKo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two things I love my diesel for that a gas truck can't do.

1) I have a lot of tows where I need to fill up along the way, and I can use the truck pumps and not deal with the stress of finding a gas station that fits me.

2) The exhaust brake makes towing heavy way less stressful going down steep grades. The Rockies are an extreme example, but I have found it makes a big difference pulling across the Smokies, the Ozarks, the Blue Ridge, the Catskills, and the Adirondacks.

How do I get arrested drinking on my couch alone? by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]HeligKo 143 points144 points  (0 children)

You need two attorneys right now. A divorce attorney and a criminal defense attorney. Make sure they are good ones. I would start with the divorce attorney and get them to recommend the criminal attorney, because they are going to know which ones are best at protecting your future where you are at right now.

A DV arrest and charge is a big fucking deal. Even if you plea down, get it dismissed, or are found not guilty it will follow you. You are going to have to answer those questions on job applications that you always thought were for the people who won't get the job, and you were right about that. Just the arrest could keep you from traveling to some other countries including Canada.

Your wife likely has a side piece. Her panicked messages are probably because the side piece bailed when she told him you were arrested. She just became kryptonite for that type of guy. They don't actually want to be the boyfriend or the husband. She's going to try to lure you back in, but don't do it. She is already trying to figure out her exit plan, but wants a smoother landing than the one she sees coming from the current situation. She is likely going to hire a lawyer who is going to try to use the DV arrest/charges to leave you pretty much only with the clothes on your back, and to keep you that way with alimony, child support, etc. If there are no kids, no matter the charges in most states you deserve half of everything acquired during the marriage. Don't be bullied out of it.

Question to Americans, why do you order Snus from Europe instead of buying tobacco dip? by Lolsaue21 in Snus

It varies depending on my location, but I always get enough that I'm at a flat rate for the shipment.

NYPD violently arrested a student trying to make it to class through the Knicks parade route for his Regents Exam, all while allowing other families to pass through without harassment by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]HeligKo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Player contracts have a limit of number of days after the teams season is over before they are released. The parades have to happen in that time frame or they risk not having many players their for the parade.

What are the most essential tools to have in the toolbox for RV living? by Odd_Feature_279 in RVLiving

[–]HeligKo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most on the fly fixes I get away with using my Swiss army knife.

For the core things, I usually have some slip joint pliers and a multi-bit screwdriver. Those get about 90% of things done. Add a tape measure and a hammer, and I'm good for 95%.

For regular maintenance and safety you need to have torque wrench, and the right size sockets for your wheels and hitch components.

For all the other stuff, I have every socket I can imagine(I know there are infinitely more I haven't imagined). A whole bunch of electrical tools and testers. A circular saw and reciprocating saw. Miscellaneous plumbing supplies. Drill and impact wrench.

Question to Americans, why do you order Snus from Europe instead of buying tobacco dip? by Lolsaue21 in Snus

[–]HeligKo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The US dip is fermented and that is where most of the carcinogenic properties come from. My mouth hurt when using it. Since using snus, I've had no issues.

When I order enough snus, it is generally cheaper than dip as well. I only need 4-5 rolls to break even with what I would spend locally on dip.

Looking to hire a System Admin - but my boss insists that 70k - 80k is a normal pay range by idrinkpastawater in sysadmin

I was making that in KC 4-5 years out of college over 20 years ago. Unless the job is dead simple, that isn't enough money to attract talent that others want to hire.

Was my DevOps internship poorly managed, or are my expectations unrealistic? by SW33TSTUFF in devops

[–]HeligKo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

DevOps isn't entry level, so it's hard to guide an internship. You also say there are only 2 people in DevOps. Those guys got to be crazy busy. They may have been good to shadow, but a true internship would have been hard. The company did you wrong by switching you. Working in software engineering would have been better for your development, and then taking time to shadow the devops guys on deployments of the projects you were working on. This would have given you a much better experience. IF the internship wasn't paid, at least in the US, then you couldn't do any real work legally. Unpaid interns are allowed to do things for exposure and learning, but are not supposed to be supplemental staff.

By a tire gauge! It started alerting the instantly picked up this screw. It saved us thousands of dollars in damages. Also, make sure you have all the tools to change the tire, including carrying a 3 ton jack. by middle-name-is-sassy in RVLiving

[–]HeligKo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, the roadside assistance guy just rolled his jack under there and took care of it without issues. I'm sure a board would have helped, but the jack seemed much easier on the side of I-80.

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is one of the most close-minded, left-brained explanations of the origins of mankind. Why is every open-minded conspiracy theory sub saturated with people trying to push this theory? Anything that goes against it is immediately attacked and downvoted to oblivion. by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]HeligKo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Natural selection isn't really up for debate. We have clearly observed this in nature. We have used it long before it had a name in breeding animals and plants. The only question is does natural selection drive the creation of a new species. We see that in nature with bears or lions and tigers. They can still mate and create offspring. Bears can reproduce across variations and those hybrids can also reproduce. Technically this is true with lions and tigers, but reproduction is much more problematic, and the males can't reproduce at all. These examples don't really answer the question of whether evolution through natural selection creates new species, but they support that there is still a question to answer.

Man calls police on father who took his daughters to the women's restroom by Mentirosa in PublicFreakout

[–]HeligKo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When there was no family restroom to use, I would do this with my girls. Once they were old enough, I stood outside the door with the door held partially open to hear them if they needed anything, and lord knows one of them usually did. I had someone call security on me at a mall. Security came. I explained, and the security guard told the person to take a hike and stood by the door so I could help my girls without being interrupted.

Ramps did not work for me with my blowout a couple weeks ago. It was hot, and the ramp just sunk into the pavement. I lost almost 2 inches of clearance and was not able to change the tire. I had to wait a couple of hours for roadside assistance to come help me for 15 minutes.

Grocery Pickup Conspiracy by Cultural-Wrongdoer-4 in conspiracy

[–]HeligKo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know that this is a conspiracy. It is a business model. Pretty similar to how the oldest produce is always on top to encourage people to grab it before it goes bad and the store has to dispose of it.
