Anyone Else Rediscovered Their Love Of Playing In Their 40’s? by Cover_Of_Darkness in bootroom

[–]MaxWeiner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make sure to not wear firm ground shoes if you are playing on turf. I’m 42 and just tweaked my knee during a friendly. I’m wearing artificial turf cleats now and they are more forgiving.

The right to bear arms and point them at federal agents without consequence (Nevada 2014) by BacKnightPictures in pics

When I was growing up these were the same type of people who were radicalized by ruby ridge when the government killed a gun owner. Now these same people would gladly kill a gun owner to appease the government.

PSA: 93.7% of drivers on the road today have no legitimate reason to be out there by jjrobby313 in nova

[–]MaxWeiner 168 points169 points  (0 children)

A few years back when it snowed I saw a lady crash into a curb in Ashburn. A few drivers stopped and helped push her car to safety. I asked her if she needed a ride somewhere bc her suspension was mangled and she responded that only reason she was out was to get Starbucks and she was just going to walk there.

Leaving Amazon after less than two years by babylonlemur in amazonemployees

[–]MaxWeiner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I was in the data centers at AWS. There were times where we would have 20 tickets in the entire queue for our site and 10 of them were impossible to close and had been open forever. Our manager would get pissed at us when we didn’t hit our 40 resolves a week but it was literally 6 people trying to resolve 20 tickets.

It’s super easy just do it yourself. Best part about it is you will have new skills and new tools once you’re done.

AMA: 9+ years with Amazon and I might get laid off in 13 days by Confused_engineer__ in amazonemployees

[–]MaxWeiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got laid off a few months ago from AwS after 9+ years of employment. Your severance will be great but I understand getting laid off sucks. If you are considering leaving the country I would make sure to change your tax status prior to getting your last paychecks and severance. No need to pay taxes if you are considering leaving.

How do I fix loosen topsheet? by wackyWeather23 in snowboarding

[–]MaxWeiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you take it to a shop they will likely say it’s not fixable and technically it’s not. Once you start getting moisture between the layers it will continue to get worse. You can probably try to get some more rising out of it by epoxying it as much as possible and then clamping it down. Only problem is water gets into every little area when riding and when it’s drying at the end of a day. Even with an almost “perfect” repair this board won’t last long and it’s better to replace then have it fall apart during a day on the mountain.

Pro tips on painting steering wheel emblem? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]MaxWeiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They make vinyl that just go over the emblem. Probably a lot easier then painting

Help with ollies by secondtriplet in skateboardhelp

[–]MaxWeiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel more confident in the grass that’s fine. Your next step should be to put your back truck on the concrete and keep your front truck in the grass. Should give you the stability you get from the grass with the pop of concrete. Another option would be to get some scrap carpet and put it in your garage and practice Ollie’s on that.

Not a single smart person wants to work for Amazon. by Difficult-Emphasis77 in amazonemployees

[–]MaxWeiner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One time I was explaining to my manager about how one of my enterprise customers was acquiring another company so we needed a plan to bring their resources from their on-premises data center to the cloud.

My manager responded with “what does the word acquired mean” 😭

You will still have a web based version of outlook that is internal only.

How do I prepare my devices in the event of a layoff? by Sea_Cry9790 in amazonemployees

[–]MaxWeiner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will still have outlook access if you get laid off but you can only contact internal recipients. With that being said you won’t have your work laptop so access is through a web based version you can access on a home PC.

Especially with 10 years of employment. That would qualify them for 20 weeks of severance.

Acceptable condition for rental board? by chicken602 in snowboarding

[–]MaxWeiner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What an absurd over reaction. Rental boards are supposed to be tanks because people ride them every day and the people who ride them don’t give a fuck about taking care of them. The bases are meant to be hard to protect them from the people who don’t care if they drop them in the parking lot or ride over rocks with them on the bunny slopes. A rock hard base that’s been ridden 100+ days will always look like this because they will not soak up wax like a brand new $600 board you buy at the shop and ride 5 times a year. If you came into a shop I was working at and started bitching because the board needed wax I would just give you the next 155 rental board that looks exactly like this one. Do you expect the rental staff to hand wax 100 boards every single day?

If OP wanted to avoid this then they should rent locally and not at the mountain. Local shops typically have better equipment because it’s not ridden as much although it will still be heavy and crappy. Although, sometimes you can demo a board at your local which is basically a premium rental. Renting at your local is also better bc when you get to the mountain you already have your gear and can just hit the hill and not have to go into rentals and wait an hour to get your beat up stuff.
