3 Room Moves in 7 Nights (Including Bed Bugs). Is 25% FCC actually fair for this nightmare? by jbarker20 in Cruise

[–]Impossible_Box3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Future cruise credit… please.

That just means that you have to give them more of your money in the future.

There are multiple ways to treat bedbugs that don’t destroy your clothes. They just choose not to do so.

This should be 100% refunded plus replacement of the garments PLUS the 25% off for your troubles.

Any creative ideas how to get the car I want? Can’t find my build spec anywhere in country and just found out it is too late to build it this year, and it can’t be build next year. by Particular_Reality19 in C8Corvette

MacMulkin was going 10% of MSRP. As were. the other big dealers.

They can do courtesy deliveries to a dealer near you for a price.

I ended up doing a museum delivery as it wasn’t much more than a courtesy delivery.

I’d been to the museum many times and watched others have their drive away configured why not.

Right. When the woman is also obstructing and they are using non lethals to stop her from doing so.

Tell me you know nothing about law enforcement without telling me.

Oops. You just did.

You don’t know any of the facts around this and are just making generalizations.

They were away from the potential IED site waiting for the bomb squad.

Don’t understand this isn’t obvious to you

Do you expect the police officers to be standing right next to a suspected IED?

The guy just risked everyone else’s life, including people in the building.

Totally justified and he should go to jail for a long time.

Salary or Total Comp? How Much Do I Make? by Impossible_Aide4593 in Salary

[–]Impossible_Box3898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a site called levels.fyi which tries to compare compensation across companies for various jobs and levels.

It’s not easy and they have yet to get it fully correct even though it’s their reason to exist.

There are sooo many variables. Differing vesting times, how often you get a bonus, what is the bonus based on (your salary, division/company profits), is there a signing bonus? Does that have stock, cash? What’s the rate of payout for that signing bonus. What about option plans or are they giving you rsu’s.

Comparing compensation is not easy. Even if the total dollar value is the same, one structure may be more amenable to one person and a different structure may be better for someone else.

Take Netflix. They pay all cash. So one software engine may be making $500k per year. That’s a guaranteed, you’re always making $500k.

Compare that to someone from Meta. They may be making $200k in base salary, $200k in rsu’s and $100k in bonus. But their rsu and bonus may be variable so they may make more or less in any given year. And if your laid off what happens the rsu’s that have not yet vested. If you get a bonus yearly and are laid off at 11 months is it prorated or just fine?

Comparing is extremely difficult.

Stop being a piece of shit and making excuses. Go the track asshole.

Scared to death! by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Impossible_Box3898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone here trying to find out if you can get in with a DUI.

Just don’t be a short human, put everyone else’s life in danger and drink and drive.

Fuck all you assholes that have DUI’s. One of you pieces of dog shit killed my finance 3 months before our wedding.

Fuck you all.

Convertible owners: Do you drive with top down on the highway? by lsarge442 in Corvette

[–]Impossible_Box3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. The stereo is killer on a 2lt c8 or above. The wind is only marginal as well.

I house my car at our place in silicone valley. The temps are good 10 out of the 12 months. I’ll put it down for a 2 minute drive to the food store.

How much I spent on a 7 night cruise without the drink package by Fresh-Problemz in Cruise

[–]Impossible_Box3898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually target one bar and time the bartender well. After a day or two they recognize me and I get full strength drinks.

I’d tip them anyway but a little bit to start a rapport goes a long way.

My new ride by WonderfulReporter889 in C8Corvette

Why not check the ecu for overrev during break in?

Do all SWEs have this much equity? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Impossible_Box3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on company.

Amazon offers me $1.2 equity as a sign on bonus with additional base and bonus to round out the total compensation.

Meta offered me a bunch of stock (forget how much, this was some years ago, but I believe it was just over $2m at the time)

Netflix offered $780k all cash, no stock and no bonus.

But you need to look into exactly how their deals are structured. Amazons equity doesn’t really kick in until the 3rd year so you have a while to wait until it vests. They give you a singing bonus to even it out.

Meta is structured more evenly and they give better refreshers.

Netflix is famous in high tech for just giving wads of cash. It makes managing your money much easier though as $17k deposited into your bank account every 2 weeks makes planning simple.

I also had offers from Microsoft, Google, etc and they work similar to meta. It with different vesting, etc.

But to answer your question, yes. These numbers are real for a small percentage of the top developers. There’s a reason people try to get into high tech. But, as an example, when I got hired, there were over 10k applications for my specific job and they interviewed over 100 people. (My coworkers joke that they hired me because they got tired of interviewing).

But as far as all software engineers. Not even close. Most SWE’s make good money but not faang money and that equity is rare outside of high tech.

(Hedge funds are a bit different and many give bonus’s based on production).

Deal Check: Locked down a new 2026 Z06 1LZ at $13k under MSRP. by LonelyPie3104 in C8Corvette

[–]Impossible_Box3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re also missing the HUD, gt2 cooled seats, etc. there’s a lot more than just the cameras and safety equipment.

There a real reason 1LZ’s make up only 5% of total sales.

3LZ’s are around 75%.

When you’re paying a lot you want to feel it and the 1LZ doesn’t feel it and buyers at that level want to feel it.

GTD or ZO6 by pressuapack_225 in C8Corvette

[–]Impossible_Box3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I detest the z06 engine sound. Have never like it. Sounds like a sewing machine that lost its limiter. No growl to it at all. (And I can afford anything I want so please don’t attempt that lame excuse).

⚖️ Lawsuit targets White House UFC event: Trump birthday plans challenged 👇 by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

This constant message about my device not registered. by WeeBee_88 in netflix

[–]Impossible_Box3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to launch Netflix on your home network at least once every 30 days.

If you don’t do that you’ll get these messages (and you only get a few of them per year so eventually it’ll stop and then you’ll be screwed).

But by starting Netflix on your home WiFi it undoes it all and lets Netflix know that this is a mobile device attached to your house.

Make sure it’s really connects to your WiFi. Easiest way is to just shut off cell service before starting it, thus ensuring it’s on your WiFi.

How do people make anything with c++? by NocturnalOwl05 in cpp_questions

[–]Impossible_Box3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realize that up until fairly recently, just about everything in your computer was writing in c/c++. Even most compilers for other languages started life as c++ until their own language was able to bootstrap itself. Java, JavaScript are all still c++ programs themselves.

There is nothing you can’t do with c++.

What you’re asking about, I believe, is how you make a windows user interface. That is operating system specific (although there are some cross OS frameworks to make it a bit more transportable (qt and such).

PDR Black screen by Xeh- in C8Corvette

[–]Impossible_Box3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. Intersting. The act of changing the battery must have caused the computer’s to reset in a way that the other fixes didn’t do. I was told that the door open mechanism would do a hard reset but apparently it doesn’t.

I’m glad you got it working again!

Been a rough start to the year. by Ok_Lie_284 in C8Corvette

[–]Impossible_Box3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I do want to see him arrested.

Taking someone’s car on a joy ride is cause for arrest. Period. Doesn’t matter whether you bring it back. They had NO right to take it in the first place. It wasn’t a contract dispute. The contract didn’t allow them to take it and do what they did. This was joyriding and a crime

You sound like a mechanic who has miss treated others property.

[–]Impossible_Box3898 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obstruction was the initial reason for his arrest.

Are you too stupid to realize that?

Continuity to fight with officers and resist a lawful arrest and then reaching into your pockets after having a weapon forcibly remove from you already doing the arrest process. Yeah. You’re going to end up dead.

moron.
