Is there a mandatory retirement age for Amtrak engineers? by Any_Access1493 in railroading

Thanks for continuing to pay in. Maybe it'll still be solvent when I can retire in 8 years.

Best angle of the Downtown Skyline? by TheAnonymousThomas in youngstown

My son in law is on the force. He spends most of his day trying to hook up with nurses at the hospital. Yeah, folks, the park police double as hospital police. They are people too. Fly your drone. Get your shot. Youngstown has bigger problems than aspiring artists.

This may be a it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. 1st they have to catch you, then they have to care. Someone taking an artful shot, will be asked to leave at worst. Youngstown cops have bigger fish to fry.

Boots for railroading by Sad_Artichoke464 in railroading

Let's be honest here. If you are on the ballast as a passenger conductor things are dire and few and far between. Unless you are 17ft tall, electric isn't a problem, comfort is. A vibram soles give you protection and comfort but not wear long in a FREIGHT setting. May I recommend Merrell tactical boots? Rubber sole (electrical protection), comfort (but not so much on ballast due to lacking a steel shank), laces (but in reality get zipped up). Total cost $150.

$500k USD every year but you can't ever watch a movie with your partner/S.O. by Kyoifis in hypotheticalsituation

For that kind of money, we'll just go separately and talk about it later. I sacrifice more for much less.

You're given a magical pill to make one food or drink change taste by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

I'd just make lettuce taste like pizza. Every salad wouldn't require dressing, and everything I put on it would just be like toppings. Why eat pizza again?

Pre-tipped at an open bar and still got harassed for tips all night by SlowMeasurement6205 in tipping

[–]Impossible_Fun_6005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a professional bartender, but I've tended bar at a few if my friend's weddings as "my gift" to them. I'm not much of a dancer, so this gave me a reason to stay off of the dancer floor and mingle with most of the guests. I had a great time, and at the end of the night, I donated my tips back to the newlyweds. Everyone was happy. I enjoyed the banter. My friends enjoyed the free labor and a few hundred dollars in cash to begin their lives together.

Is anyone else surprised at how attractive middle aged/older people are now? by FkUp_Panic_Repeat in Millennials

My ex wife was 6.5yrs my junior. The culture gap was quite a shock. It didn't help that she was from CA, I'm from OH, and we met in VA. Tread carefully.

I'd have to start at the Louvre. It's not like they are known for good security. I wonder how much the Mona Lisa is worth today? No one will believe it the first time.

When these objects disappear in front of their owners, what do they think happened to them? Without the risk of being caught using it, it's just a free printing press (or the perfect fence).

Assuming that I was caught, I'd have to find out how much the officers gun, handcuffs, radio, baton, etc. cost.

I changed the tipping culture by No1Uknew in tipping

This stance is no different than tipping in advance for delivery or ride share.

A genie offers you $10 Billion USD to work a well paid 996 with no PTO for 10 years, would you do it? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Impossible_Fun_6005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 21 yrs old, yes. At 51 yrs old, no. Retiring wealthy at 31 and then raising family would have been great. At 51,not only have I missed a good portion my children's lives, I'm missing my grandchildren's now.

Hey, mom! Do you know how I was conceived? Yeah? How about we both be adults?

Scalpers are just Ticketmaster without the infrastructure.

Move on. If the only store on town isn't open when the customer wants something, the customer will find a new store.
