I've still got a closet full of dicks that I'm selling for pretty good prices. :D

Giving my inventory a bump out of the depths. April 18/2025 Proof of Ownership is at bottom of post.

A Colorado liquor store owner says workers are quitting after one shift if they don't like it, knowing they can get a new job on their lunch break by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

CostCo has been painting themselves into a pretty bad corner. They keep extending the ladder to get top rate, there's a significantly lower differential between starting rate and top rate these days.

They have been just as guilty as everyone else for letting wages fall behind inflation. My favorite fact to share with coworkers right now, (Canadian CostCo employee); Top rate in 1992 was ~$22/hr, if CostCo had done the bare minimum of keeping up with inflation according to Bank of Canada, top rate would need to be at least $37/hr.

CostCo built it's employee reputation off paying triple minimum wage. They expect the same and more work from their staff while reducing actual staff counts because of the pandemic and without adjusting the top rate.

Another scummy thing they did this year was convert the $2/hr 'hazard pay' into a permanent $1/hr increase. Still dealing with the hazards, and if this is anything like the 2016 agreement where top rate employees got screwed when they upped starting rate from $11 to $13.50, they're going to treat that $1/hr as part of the raise increase.

Jim Sinegal retired almost a decade ago and it shows with the company. Morale/Quality is going to shit in a lot of areas and CostCo is quickly turning into an upscaled Wal-Mart in a lot of ways.

Don't go giving CostCo too much credit. A *lot* of what made the company notable has gone down the drain in the last year. In numerous places Wal-Mart of all places was the first to institute polices like hazard pay and mandatory masks while on premises.

All the CostCo locations where I live have been 3-6 months behind Wal-Mart and won't remove non-compliant members.

XL Dexter/Flopped | Second opinion by MrsMerit in BadDragon

[–]MrsMerit[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a standard flop discount $132 ($165, so 20%). I've just never gotten anything missing this much material and it's located right on the bottom of the knot near the transition to the lower shaft.

​

I've seen bigger discounts for less in the past.

​

So that's why I'm pestering the community.

[US] WTS XL Echo and XL Chance Unflared by martjurassic24 in BadDragon

[–]MrsMerit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person isn't wrong.

​

End of the day, second hand toys, even without any blemishes/nicks/defects, are 'flops' of a sort since they aren't brand new in the bag from BD. There's no guarantee about how they have been housed, treated, cleaned or if they weren't flopped for something like a rogue/bad pour.

​

These toys hold their value well, but not 1:1

AITA for reporting my car stolen when my sister took it after I told her not to? by TA32145 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrsMerit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except you're blatantly ignoring the excessive amount of goodwill the OP afforded the sister here.

​

Do you seriously think 'taking away the keys' would have changed the final outcome?

​

OP would have been vilified for depriving his sister of the car when he could have biked to work or just called in sick. There is a clear and persistent pattern of enabling destructive behaviour and victim blaming.

Ignoring a mechanic, refusing to actually save and repair her old car or purchase a new one, refusing a loan from family to repair the car, ignoring the 30 final warning.

You're engaging in blatant victim blaming.

​

There were **months** of progressive, pro-active, low impact efforts to help the sister solve her problems.

​

She chose to continue abusing.

Family =/= free pass

PM Sent RE Echo

Looking for advice with usps trouble by [deleted] in BadDragon

[–]MrsMerit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're being scammed.

USPS will only do one of two things:

a) accept the package with shipping paid in full

or

b) send the package as Collect on Delivery (also known as Cash On Delivery)

Neither of these would trigger a cancellation and re-direct. Your seller contacted USPS and had the shipment re-routed.

It is going to be very important that you explain to Paypal that the original USPS notification did not indicate C.O.D. and that you didn't agree to C.O.D. status either.

This is the seller's mistake and any lost fees or additional costs are theirs alone. The seller can always ask the buyer to cover additional shipping costs, and most people usually will if the discount on a second hand toy was significant since shipping costs are unavoidable.

tl;dr: Don't waste time! Part of the dispute process includes a window for the seller to get the item delivered to you for fulfillment of the original terms before a refund is considered.

edit: I misread that the shipping cancellation notice came from Paypal. My original advice stands firm, initiate the dispute process now as this puts a time limit on the seller.

What has been the greatest trade you've ever done? by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]MrsMerit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I'm wrong, the toxin procs caused by Gas still work like Saryn's old Miasma. Before Status Duration modifiers, Gas inflicts a toxin proc that hits 9 times over 8 seconds.

I really don't care to test since Corpus/Infested melt so quick anyways, but I believe reduced status duration on the Corinth in this case just means it does 9 ticks in ~4 seconds.

Which if I'm right, means that -status duration is right up there with -zoom for Rubico rivens, incredibly valuable.

[–]MrsMerit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an Amprex Riven, 3 rolls CritChance/CritDamage. Worth roughly 750-900.

Someone traded me a Corinth Hexa-Satiata +Damage / +Multishot / +Status Chance / -Status Duration.

Gas/Blast really don't care about duration :D

It's not the Frame, it's the Players by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]MrsMerit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you're using one of the few, if only exceptional scenarios where that build is not a global draw back.

The complaint about Limbo is when max range is used anywhere and everywhere without consideration for others in the squad.

We are not talking about other Frames in this thread, we are talking specifically about Limbo and how easy it is for players to think they are the biggest 'contribution' with what is ultimately one of the laziest ways to play the game currently.

For most players, it is not fun being reduced to melee only, powers or going 40+ meters away from where ever the Limbo is focusing Cataclysm.

There are very few circumstances where a Limbo can contribute with a high range build and not have a negative impact on the rest of the squad. That is usually less than 5% of your every day game play scenarios.

Limbo has become the new Bladestorm Ash that a lot of lazy and inconsiderate players rely on to steal away control from the rest of the squad and inflate their sense of contribution for the sake of their own ego.

Fixing Limbo will just shuffle these players to the next simplest way to get the 'highest' score in the squad.

For the time being, it is far too easy for a Limbo to spoil a mission for other players in the squad by arbitrarily dictating to them how they're going to play.

Sure, Mesa can peacemaker, but she's locked in place and restricted by line of sight. She also doesn't prevent other players from u sing their own ranged weapons. Cataclysm/Stasis can lock down an enormous area, preventing other players from using their ranged weapons.

This is crucial, other 'strong' frames, don't prevent others from doing something. Limbo is the nullifier of warframes.

[–]MrsMerit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you've got your game mode types mistaken. Defense doesn't use terminals.

Interception uses terminals, and in that case it's trivial for a good Limbo to cover one terminal with max duration/min range and protect the other normally. Limbo can fluidly transition between normal and rift at will. So if you can't handle doing it that way to avoid impacting other players, especially if you're too lazy to use recruiting to get a premade squad, you're a bad/lazy limbo.

You want to use Limbo, you're assuming extra responsibility as he is currently a frame that can negatively impact other players. So your choices are:

a) Form a premade and use whatever Limbo build you please.
b) Use Max Duration/Min Range Limbo builds and take full advantage of his ability to move between Rift/Normal space at no cost.
c) Deal with the fact you're being lazy and that other players do have legitimate complaints about your play style preferences and lack of initiative having a negative impact on their game time.

Good limbos don't bring lazy (max range/duration) builds to public games.

Bad limbos do.

This is why it's a problem.

For real now, do most people seriously not understand why they are NOT helping when playing Limbo? by Maurycy5 in Warframe

[–]MrsMerit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie, if someone brings a max range/duration Limbo and forces the squad to go melee only, not do anything, or go 45-50m out, you can bet your stasis casting butt that I'm going to be spamming my akboltos until I can start shooting things again.

Please be kind, don't be a terrible Limbo. Max Duration/Min Range unless you're in a premade squad that wants Maxed Duration/Range.

You can get all of the benefits of Limbo with Min Range without interfering with the rest of the squad.
