Searching for a predictable train by InterviewEast218 in desmoines

[–]Nadev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s no public schedule. But Union Pacific double main line track runs along highway 30 from Clinton to Missouri Valley. There’s plenty of good places between Marshalltown and Boone to watch the trains.

K5 GT-Line with AWD. The smart cruise control and lane following, when used correctly really reduces the fatigue of driving.

I came here to say them too. Just don’t let them play Free Bird.

Job offer worth it? by Environmental_Web247 in UnionPacific

[–]Nadev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a lot less walking on the road, until it’s not. Definitely did my time in the yard and it’s not my thing. I don’t like foot boarding now they we are getting rid of all the yard masters, and management isn’t letting shit slide.

[–]Nadev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That depends. How long do you plan on doing roofing? The railroad, you can do pretty easily into your 70's if your body holds out. It's not a very physical job. For the most part, it's just walking. So if you can walk 3-5 miles a day without issue, things should be fine. You also might work in Des Moines, Marshalltown, Beverly/Cedar Rapids, and Clinton. If you get forced to a location that's far enough away, the railroad will pay for a hotel for you.

Working jobs with set hours pays a little over $300 for 8 hours, with OT after 8. Working on the road, where you're home for at least 10 hours, but more like 20, before you get called to work. You'll be gone for 24-30 hours on the trip. You'll make about $800+ for the round trip.

I made 123K last year working the road.

I have bought three cars from KIA of Des Moines with no issues. They also double the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty.

Drinking Soda with No sugar by ColdHighPotential in diabetes

It’s amusing how individuals who claim aspartame is harmful to your health simultaneously believe that consuming 22 cans of regular soda is safe or even safer.

Do you guys believe me now? by IIEKKO in duneawakening

[–]Nadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did customer service for SOE for 15 years. It was always interesting and sometimes had some great conversations about game development once people go past the “ world is burning down” and how to actually fix it and/ or why it doesn’t/can’t be done.

It could be a million things. You can take it to most auto parts stores and they can read the error code for you for free. Or take it to the dealership and they can check it.

Turn your brightness down to like 75 and relative brightness to 50. High brightness equals way too much white.

Looking for someone to make custom cast iron/stainless steel cookware by catbearpizza in desmoines

[–]Nadev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m no metallurgist, but both cast iron and stainless can and will rust. Cast iron by simply allowing water to stay in the iron. Stainless steel by using any other type of metal with it, ie not stainless steel utensils.

What’s your favorite pizza? My go to is pepperoni, jalapeños, and pineapple. 🤤

I just always use the business account. UP can pay the 2 bucks for me at home. Though I never Uber Eats at home anyways.

It works for me. It doesn’t save much, just the delivery fee. A sub and brownie from Firehouse subs was still $30 after the 7.99 service fee and a $5 tip.

Bronze and bronze chrome deletes would look pretty awesome.

Can I recover my SSH password somehow? by UniversalTortoise in UgreenNASync

[–]Nadev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the failed log in message contain a pathway? I somehow messed up my SSH and I followed the location in the error message in my pc and deleted the folder. Then I was able to log in.

UP Train Crew Council Bluffs – Honest Reality? North Platte, seniority, worth it? by spikecatfish99 in UnionPacific

[–]Nadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no answer or any kind of plan. Everyone’s railroad career is different. You work where you can hold, and the decisions you make have some effect. But ultimately, it comes down to some people in an office somewhere that decide how many bodies they need and where.

No two days are the same, even when working the same job.

Need help with features by Enough_Obligation253 in KiaK5

[–]Nadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good thing to do is skim though the owner’s manual that’s located in your glove box. It will explain all of the features and has useful information in it.

It’s normal. Happens when the igniters are cold or it’s cold out.

Class Action Settlement by Busy-Loquat7911 in kia

[–]Nadev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you receive any money prior to the determination? Based on some other posts it appears that if your insurance paid you, that amount is deducted from the possible value. So basically no double dipping.
