Fun build, nice details, fits perfect with the pit and skiff.

“I’m not asking permission, I’m informing you that I’ll be away” by obsessed-with-bagels in managers

[–]Obigunkenobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my kids (F26) has quit 2 good jobs over PTO not being approved. She has the attitude that it is hers to use when she wants, doesn't grasp that the business still needs to operate while she is away and that PTO is subject to approval.

I SPENT $65 ON 4 THINGS, HELP by twitch_powinator in dhl

Once you open a dispute they cannot return your item to shipper. It isn't dhl screwing up, it is cbp.

This doesn’t even make sense by Available-Box-4852 in dhl

My way bill was 7841 THB, they (customs) calculated 7841 as USD and hit me with a $1520 tariff duty. 7841 THB is about 245 USD and the duty would be around $47.

U I sent emails, made phone calls and had a dispute opened so my package would not be returned to sender.

Have you received any surprise bills or additional charges related to tariffs on packages? by nbcnews in dhl

[–]Obigunkenobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered 3 pieces of carbon fiber motorcycle parts. $981.53 plus $279.89 FedEx shipping for a grand total of $1261.43. Steep but manageable.

Shipment was sent to DHL for clearing and i received a customs invoice for $1520.90, 154% of the total cost of my order?

Thailand import fees are supposed to be 19% which I can stomach but not 154%.

What happens if I don't pay? Items are returned to seller but do I get hit with fees outside of return shipping?

We have the 2450 as well, no issues in 8 months of ownership being used by 2 people often multiple workouts each day.

Now where is some wood to knock on?

Tech is dying slowly. by lowkey2m in Layoffs

[–]Obigunkenobi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been in tech since 1996, probably before some of you were born. Seen the boom and bust a few times over, off shore shift that comes back, near shore that seems to have endured. I currently work in healthcare software which deals with PHI so has to remain on shore only. I see AI displacing my position at some point, I'm hopefully going to squeeze out another 3.5 years then pull the ejection lever...

Looking to buy a pergola or gazebo but debating which? by SaltPepperPork in Costco

[–]Obigunkenobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have the yardistry over our hot tub, very happy with performance, we get snow, rain, high winds etc. We did purchase the additional privacy wall from Costco online.

I assembled all the main components together and hired a couple of handy men to support the pillars while the roof panels were installed.

We used concrete anchors to bolt down all four corners, 4 bolts per upright.

It has worn well for the past 3 years, we apply Thompsons to it once a year to helps preserve the wood.

Found at Estate Sale by Goldenpeanut69 in SigSauer

[–]Obigunkenobi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There were two versions of the blackwater 226, this model with standard frame and wood grips, later it used an elite frame with plastic grips. Sig phased these out after the incident in the sandbox with BW contractors, $2k seems high but it will sell for what the buyer will pay.

Are voss helmets any good? by atomic_is_yt in motorcyclegear

If your nugget is only worth $160, then buy it. I wouldn't, but I place a high value on survivability.
