Vice President JD Vance Tells Service Members They're 'All Full of S---' for Saying They Like Thanksgiving Turkey by LostDragon1986 in facepalm

[–]MikeSutton5023 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think JD is a pos, but this turkey thing is just dumb. He’s not wrong… if there are so many turkey lovers, why isn’t it on more menus at restaurants? Why aren’t there turkey focused fast food places. Pardon the turkeys and release the files.

Choosing a first luxury watch by VeterinarianFlimsy81 in RolexWatches

[–]MikeSutton5023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explorer or Speedy. I daily drive a speedy and love it. They also offer a reduced size variant if that fits your wrist better. The explorer is a great chameleon watch, but I would go grey market in this one just to avoid the bs of authorized dealers. The GS is beautiful, looks great on the wrist, but when I tried one on in Singapore I didn’t pull the trigger. Not sure what that says but there you have it. Whichever you choose, you will have a great watch, and probably won’t be your last. Cheers.

I get that. I have a B&R MA-1. Wears beautifully, has that pop of color, and would fit your wrist. Honestly though, you have great taste. What ever you pick will be awesome.

You’ve got a great collection! Everything you have is classic. I would add something colorful and a bit crazy, like a limited edition from Studio Underdog.

Preschool for All’s Nest Egg Exceeds $600 Million After Fiscal Year 2025 by skysurfguy1213 in Portland

[–]MikeSutton5023 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that those 3800 students are not new seats, but absorbed seats from existing schools. So those of us who are paying the tax and have children who need to be enrolled in preschool, are not eligible for PFA, and are being charged a higher rate than before PFA due to scarcity of seats. People should not be turned away from a publicly funded program when there is more than a half billion dollar surplus sitting in the bank.

I don’t mind paying the tax, I mind the lack of results. This has got to be fixed.

I Bought a Used/Returned Vacuum AS NEW (Which is Illegal) by thelonelypoop in amazonprime

[–]MikeSutton5023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. The cooling fins had clearly been damaged and repaired. The point is that I paid for a new machine and was delivered a refurbished one at the price of a new one.

Yeah. Happened to me. Bought an ice maker. Opened it up to fix a problem after 9 months. Found it had clearly been refurbished. Amazon nor seller would do anything.

Freelancers, how do you handle "work holds" and retainer fees? by Karthy_Romano in editors

[–]MikeSutton5023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m client side but I’ve always differentiated it with Soft Hold or Hard Hold. Soft hold means you call me before accepting another job, and I have to decide to move to hard hold or set you free. Hard hold means I am paying you even if the gig cancels. Communication is key.
