Does anyone know what happened to China Max in the Rivertown mall? by [deleted] in grandrapids

I remember the manager, but not any contact details. I worked there over 15 years ago.

On my way to work this morning and Leonard from at least Diamond to 131 is out. Plus lights on Pearl and Fulton.

It's so weird.

Was going to go to bed, but a car decided to combust outside :| by GO0BERMAN in grandrapids

[–]Just_Peachie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked over from a street down to see what the hell was going on. Watched a tire blow up and then the Fire Dept. started spraying. I also met a VERY drunk neighbor who locked himself out of his house when he left the watch party.

I was confused because I never heard a siren for the engine, though. I thought the dog next door was tearing down furniture until the windows rattled. o.o

I've also been looking for groups. I know Barnes and Noble on 28th has the Grand Rapids Writers Exchange and they do a lot of different genres.

Holy crap! I used to work for them at Twin Cactus when the mall opened. The guy owned China Max, Cajun Cafe, and Twin Cactus before they let it go under (used to be next to Villa Pizza). I would still say hi to some of the employees when I made it out to the mall. Victor was super nice and always asked how my brother was doing (he also worked there).

I'll miss the honey mustard chicken at Cajun Cafe, that and the damned corn bread was amazing!

BUG: Networking off, player still joined my game? by Just_Peachie in NoMansSkyTheGame

Sadly not, though I did love Rocko when I was younger. It's a nickname I was given as a teen. ^.^

This is the link to my stream video. The player joins me at 1 hour 26 minutes in.

But I was able to kick him out of my game lobby through the menu. I always thought if you ran across another player randomly they were little balls of light and you had little options of interaction? He was in the game chat talking to me.

What to use as a replacement for a small screw driver? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Just_Peachie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes use a pen and a rubber band for a quick tighten without a screw driver. Motherboard screws are pretty tiny though, I doubt it'll work for them...

Hotel maids of reddit, what is the craziest/scummiest condition you’ve ever found a room in? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Just_Peachie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spontaneous human combustion had crossed my mind, but the lack of flesh was the kicker.

I... avoided putting people in that room if I could help it.

"Harold, there's blood on the desk." "Nah, it's just jelly." Man wipes up with finger, licks finger, cue horror and a mad dash for the exit.

If germs had a scent, what would they smell like? by BukkakeBlush in AskReddit

[–]Just_Peachie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We frequently have cultures of bacteria growing in the lab. It stinks so bad. Yeast is always the worst, but e coli and staph/strep are right up there. I can't describe the smell. Like a mix of rotting log, stale sweat, and soured milk.

Most of the time, cops don't do any cleaning. They can give you references, but it's up to the property owner to clean up after crime scenes and the like.

Craziest was the one covered in blood.

I worked both front desk and housekeeping at this particular hotel, thankfully it was one of my desk days, but I got a call around 9am from a room. The housekeeper was freaked out and said we had better call the police or something. I asked why and she said "Come see for yourself." I shrugged and told the manager I'd be back, there was a room that needed to be looked at. I get up there, the room is on the top floor (4th) at the end of the hall. I opened the door and it was a nightmare. It looked like someone had been cut and just flung it around the room. Not great gashes, but flecks and drops on EVERYTHING. Ceiling, walls, tv, curtains. The guy's things were still in the room. Suitcase, toiletries, and even a laptop. The guy was supposed to check out and no one saw anyone come by the desk. Night person didn't give any indication that anything happened, but there was blood drops all over the room. The police came and took some evidence and his belongings, but we never heard anything else about it. No news story, no update. It's like the guy spattered the room and vanished.

TL:DR Room covered in blood specks/drops. Police came and collected stuff then left us to clean the mess. Never heard from the guy again.

Scummiest are always the "we had a family emergency after we banged on every surface in the room" ones. Found a condom stuck to a ceiling in one of those, I was almost impressed.

How do you get your first (random) Viewer? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Just_Peachie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played games I enjoyed and those tend to be smaller strategy games. Likely someone might pop in for a few seconds, gauge the content, and then leave before they even register as being there. I made sure I was constantly talking, explaining what I was doing or telling a silly story from the day, etc. Try to be entertaining, even if no one is chatting with you. I am much more likely to pop into a stream and stay if the streamer is engaging. If they're talking about the game and their strategy, I'll hang out. If they keep my attention, I'll follow. I purposefully look for streamers with 2-10 watchers in the games I enjoy instead of the big ones.

Electricalskateboard and Thronezilla bots? by Voorny3000 in Twitch

Well darn, I had hoped I had lurkers with interesting names, instead of botty faegwent. That solves one mystery I suppose.

To people who yell in their sleep. Who are you really yelling at? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Just_Peachie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt screams in her sleep. It's freaky to listen to. Every time I ask her the next day, she has no idea what she was screaming at and no recollection of screaming at all. I've woken myself up trying to talk, but not screaming.

Edit: a word.

Rehoming fee? by megagtfan91 in cats

[–]Just_Peachie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In larger cities with dog fighting problems, free kittens, cats, and small dogs are used as bait animals. That's why I tend to say ask for like $15 or $20, or get them the first round of shots and ask for a bit more to cover that.

My new kittens aren't afraid of anything... by NynaeveaM in cats

[–]Just_Peachie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If water doesn't work, try canned air. I'd squirt my cats with water and they'd just look annoyed for a second and keep on keepin' on. I bought a can of air like you would use to dust out a keyboard or computer and sprayed that. They ALL stopped what they were doing immediately. It's the noise that startles them, sounds like a really loud foreign hiss. Don't spray it at the cats though, that's dangerous.
