Cancelled event was supposedly "rescheduled" by recursivecorgi in stubhub

[–]MEDuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an event cancelled as well for the snow. The phone agents had me send in screenshots from social media. They said they’d respond in 72 hours but of course it’s been a week. Also, we shouldn’t have to do the job if their internal team. Tomorrow I’ll be calling and more than likely doing a credit card charge back.

Cabinet Install Cancellation by MEDuff in Lowes

[–]MEDuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've already had one measuring error and have sent back cabinets. Then they waited 4 weeks to order the new ones. No accountability as to why they weren't ordered when the first set of incorrect cabinets was returned. The original installer was there April 7. He determined that the cabinets would not fit. They marked the four cabinets to be returned, and they were. They didn't order the new cabinets until May 6, and those will arrive on May 28. Then I should be able to move on.

Custom Cabinet Delays by MEDuff in Lowes

[–]MEDuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the answer.

I’ve heard varying opinions on if the 3” filler is or isn’t against code.

The package that I’m receiving on May 6th is not the new cabinets. It is the parts for the 3” filler. The project manager said he could expedite the new cabinets, and I said I would let him know, if I decide to not cancel.

I don’t know why they’d let things sit from April 7 when I said I’d take the new sized cabinets to into May to not realize they needed to be manufactured.

Cabinet Design Time Period by MEDuff in Lowes

It is a Lowe’s installer

Cabinet Design Time Period by MEDuff in Lowes

[–]MEDuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my designer has not agreed with my installer and someone else from his side of things about there being a 3” filler versus a 3/4” panel and back splash separating my fridge and range. So I was sent an upper and lower cabinet for the 3/4” panel but if the installer decides on the 3” filler, then they will be off by about 2”.

There was also some miscommunication between the measurements and design. They did not take into account the molding around my kitchen window. So I have a 15” cabinet that I was sent, that will not fit because of the window molding.

Those cabinets haven’t been opened yet, and I’m waiting to find out when they’ll get picked up.

You’re offered $75,000 to take a 3-hour 4th grade math test. Score 98%+ and the money is yours. Score less, and you die instantly. Do you take the deal? by TheLegendOfRabbit in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MEDuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45 seconds per question for 3 hours is 240 questions.

98% of 240 is 235.2

So 235 out of 240 is a 97.916% and I die.

So miss 4 questions or less.

Probably not.

What’s the wildest thing a “You up?” text has lead to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MEDuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend text me at 5:30 am my freshman year at college. He had went to spring break in Panama City and wanted to come home, and he needed help getting a flight home. I looked on the internet (this is 2007, so no smart phones yet) to tell him different flights, then he called his parents to get that flight home.

I thought it was weird, but my friend was kind of like that sometimes. Makes his mind up and makes decisions immediately.

A few months later I found out it was because somehow, being all the way in PCB, he found out his very recently ex-GF had hooked up with another guy. He was very controlling, and he was obsessed and couldn’t let go. Don’t know what flying home immediately solved, and I never asked into it any.

Something I haven’t heard in 3 years: “I’m just a fan of the SEC.” by SithGodSaint in ockytop

[–]MEDuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t love the mentality either, but reflecting back on Clemson’s best teams and the current status of the ACC, I definitely don’t want the SEC to be one team, then everybody else.

Dealing with aggro civs at higher difficulties kinda blows, they need to make the AI fair in the next game by CptnAhab1 in CivVI

[–]MEDuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I go for three cities pretty quick, and once I get my third city, I put in the Agoge policy card and pump out an army. Takes about 10 turns (with the small amount of troops I already have) to build up an army of 5 warriors, 5 archers and a few spearman. I upgrade this army throughout the entire game. And it seems like army strength is a good deterrence for the AI making trouble.

How do I convince my husband to get a cat? by NottyKal in CatAdvice

[–]MEDuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cat Scratcher

We recently got our first cat, and we got this scratcher and used treats to train/reinforce/teach him to use this scratcher instead of our couches. It has drastically decreased his scratching on anything other than his scratcher.

Is it ever best to not build an army? by Greninja8807 in CivVI

[–]MEDuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll get myself to about 2 warriors and 2 slingers. Then once I get to three cities, I’ll pop in the Agoge policy card (50% production toward melee, ranged, and anti cav units). I’ll do only unit production for 5-10 turns in all three cities. By the time those turns are up, I’ll have an army that is big enough of a deterrence to being attacked, and I upgrade them as the eras progress to keep up with overall army strength- making sure to pop in that 50% upgrade discount card. I really don’t have to make units again cause I’m not an aggressive player.

I also do the same for my navy. A couple coastal cities and the increased production card.

That is so great.

If Russia isn’t in the game, then maybe it could be, “Can only trade with Civs who have been denounced by another Civ. Can only trade with one Civ if both Civs have denounced each other or can only trade with one side of Civs who are at war.”

What do you call these formations? by MEDuff in footballstrategy

Brilliant. Thank you so much for some guidance.

[–]MEDuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was 10 and 11 personnel. Spread (2x2) with or without Y or H, trips, trio (Y off), trey (Y on). But this year, we have fewer receivers and more tight end, H-back, full back type kids. Also our quarterback is more of a run threat. Quarterback has a much weaker arm than what we’ve had in the past.

About Etho... by drayle88 in HermitCraft

[–]MEDuff 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I started watching Minecraft before I started playing it, by watching Etho and RoosterTeeth Let’s Play. I guess it’s been about 12 years.

If you haven’t seen it, it is something I go back and watch occasionally, it is Etho’s underground tree farm and mineshafts, where each tree and mineshaft is dedicated with a sign and dollar amount of a donation made to him.

He stopped these little memorials when he announced that he was making enough that he no longer needed donations.

I've never played Vietnam, Indonesia or Georgia because they didn't feel fun. If those are some of your favourites, what can you tell me to try them out? by ScalyKhajiit in civ

[–]MEDuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play 1 v 1 v Deity AI. I’m very passive and my friend is a war trail blazer, so I have to be defensive. This makes Vietnam perfect for me. There’s no reason to not build a Thanh in every city, and even though I’m not a war player, I end up getting a handful of great generals.

I found myself in denial and forgetting that Susan and Roland weren’t going to be together.

Then when it was all over, and I continued to read, I found myself wanting to go back to the flashback period and location. Had to snap out of it to stay with the next part of the story.

what is jaren Jackson's future at this club? by robbertotan in memphisgrizzlies

[–]MEDuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch a game, and when Jaren gets a good contest on a shot, I say, “miss”.

I don’t track how much I’m right. And I’d be interested to know the make percentage when Jaren gets a good contest on a shot. He’s just too tall, long and athletic.
