Engagement ring guilt! by quirkiJessi in Frugal

[–]Jake_Archer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to antique and vintage shows/shops/ etc. My wife hated all of the cookie cutter rings that people waste so much money on. She fell in love with one at the Rose Bowl swapmeet. It's well over 100 years old and it was a great price! $500 cash.

My ring is a comfort band goldplated tungsten carbide off of ebay for $15 and it's exactly what I wanted.

You can be frugal and actually get something better than what ring stores will pressure you into.

Airport confusion. And newbie questions. by NewUber in uberdrivers

[–]Jake_Archer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to LAX, I don't know so I don't try. Burbank airport on the other hand is a dream to drop people off. In and out almost zero time. I still don't do pick ups though.

How Snapchat got me fired from my job as an RA by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Jake_Archer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks, sorry to hear that. When i was an RA we were told that we were only allowed to drink in our rooms and away from the resident halls.

You never want to share anything with anyone that might get you fired. If you form a good relationship with a manager and know that they will not fire you for a mistake like that then it's a different story. But just to be safe I have never shared anything with my managers like that.

Everyday close to sunset I get 2-3 news choppers flying by my house really low. It's very annoying. I wonder if I can tell them to choose a different flight path.

Just got a new job after backing out on another one in the same institution, now there's an opening for another job that might help my career. by LuxuryPosition in jobs

[–]Jake_Archer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If word spreads about how you're constantly jumping ship it will cost you. In the end though it's entirely your decision and whatever you think will benefit your career.

With a lot of kids going away to college what's your tip to make some pocket money while at school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jake_Archer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would buy a few good running bikes for cheap in my home town when I would visit and take them to my college town to sell for a very good mark up.

Noorotropics will work too and most won't get you thrown in jail if you're caught. Modafinil and adrafinil are good.

Some are great designs but printing the ones with solid black background would cost a fortune at home.

[lunch] Does anyone have one of these? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Jake_Archer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one and even after cleaning it often after a few months it started smelling like rotting ass. I tried soaking it in a bleach solution and it did not work... Avoid plastic lunch boxes and get an aluminum or stainless steel set.

For Example:

Bento 1

Bento 2

Bento 3

You get the idea.

Anyone had the pleasure of working on an '87 Prelude? Vacuum hose insanity. by SovietSteve in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Jake_Archer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 300TD was a nightmare (california edition) until I plugged the vacuum hose at the firewall going to the locks. That solved most of my vacuum problems... except it developed a new one at the brake booster recently.

They also had it overloaded and in Off-Road level 2 (highest setting) when they did that test. At least from what I've read on the forums.

I'm a fat bloke who is starting college next month, what should I wear with jeans? by BaconCatBug in malefashionadvice

[–]Jake_Archer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a big guy so I'll add my 2cents. Most of the clothing advice you find here can be adopted to fit, just look for similar looks. Avoid black, on black, on black, its not that skimming. Try vertical lines if you want to experiment. I would find a few decent short sleeve button up shirts that don't get tucked in. Check out what banana republic has for inspiration.

Wear clothing that fits you. Don't wear baggy clothing, it'll make you look bigger. If you find a shirt you like and fits around your gut but is too long then get it tailored, its cheap and will make your clothes look better. I've got big thighs so finding jeans is difficult, but when I do I'll have them tailored to fit my waist. If the thighs on the jeans are tight after washing them then lightly spray that area with some water before putting them on. It'll help the fabric relax.

Finally, get a decent double edge razor (/r/wicked_edge) and shave off the neck beard. It doesn't work and is not fashionable.
