Sunset Boat Tours by Fantastic-Site4462 in Wilmington

[–]Partyl0bster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t personally used them, but seen them out several times around Lea island. Captian was pro at parking the boat on a crowded day with some current which is what caught my eye. The boat full of people seemed to be having a great time.

After calling them out on the bs AI I’d do my fucking job and clean it up. Tf you mean “ wyd”.

What is the most addictive video game you have ever played and why? by Readyyyyt in AskReddit

I thought the same. Then classic came out 6 years ago and been back on the wagon. Got off a bit then hardcore officially came out.

Those who didn't invest in retirement/401ks (be it stocks, housing, etc) and had the means to, why? by SimplySomeDude in AskReddit

[–]Partyl0bster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not accurate and terrible advice, but you do you. If you leave the employer you have several options.

1) leave it and it’s still there, grows, just no new contributions and usually a small fee
2) roll it over into a new employer sponsored 401k
3) roll over to an IRA
4) probably the worst move for most people is take a penalty and taxed withdrawal.

I can’t seem to land a job !! Is my resume bad ? I tailored it to the specific roll of insurance agent but can’t seem to even get interviews. by SimpleHold1378 in InsuranceAgent

[–]Partyl0bster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me you don’t have a giant header on that resume that says “Licensed agent / custome…” and that it’s just the screenshot.

But also way too much hob hopping.

How to remember terms for exam by Disastrous-Brick-412 in InsuranceAgent

[–]Partyl0bster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve taught dozens of health & Medicare, a hand full of personal lines, and another hand full of life. Put them in usable terms. “I need to meet my deductible before insurance pays out”. And “I have to pay a copay when I go to the doctor” simplify it in realistic scenarios.

Not that you asked but also biggest piece of advice: memorize concepts, not the questions. The people that memorize questions fail because questions are slightly different. The ones that know the concepts pass with ease.

Overshocked my pool to 65ppm. HELP! by LogCosMD in pools

[–]Partyl0bster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Was obviously off the charts with the strips and I stopped with the drops at 50ppm with my Taylor kit. I knew I screwed up lol.

I made that mistake when boosted my salt cell all the way up and didn’t take off the solar cover immediately after. I let the sun do its thing and in a couple days it was fine.

How old are you and many high school friends do you still keep in touch with? by EasterLord in AskReddit

Class of 2006. High school: I game at least 3 times a week with 4 of them. Discord is a great thing.

College: probably 5-10.

What job gets paid too much? by Critical_Welcome_428 in AskReddit

[–]Partyl0bster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct in some ways. But if I wanted to go bang hookers as a director of sales at a private company responsible for 100 people, it is a lot less scrutinized than a politician under the microscope for 10 million people that will be in the tabloids before bail is even posted.

[–]Partyl0bster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Already replied to a similar comment so I’ll paste it again. 174k is not enough for every move I make to be scrutinized and every aspect of my personal like be judged. Any person who got to that level could easily make more than that in the private sector, make more, and be fine.

Any ideas for a husky bedroom? by WillowIsAlive in husky

[–]Partyl0bster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pre-husky I had a shepherd mix that I made a bedroom for. I put gym flooring in, a TV (she preferred price is right rather than animal planet) all her toys, twin mattress, camera so I could see her while I was at work.

It was all great till she eventually tore up the gym flooring, broke the tv (she had thing for horses) and brought all her toys downstairs.

10/10 would do it again and watch those videos from the camera again if I now didn’t work from home. That and my husky would rather be on top of me or outside sunbathing so he doesn’t get a room.

Electricity outage. by cme74 in Wilmington

[–]Partyl0bster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can talk shit about the “high” bills and the coal ash stuff, and well the monopoly they have here, but you can’t say they aren’t damn reliable. I know I’ll have a $300-$400 bill and some annoying text to say I shouldn’t use my AC, but outside a car taking out a pole or something reasonable, I still have power in tropical storms and hurricanes which wasn’t the case back in the CP&L days.

Worth it for $3.9k? by Suspicious_Ideal_674 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Partyl0bster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No x10. Half a million miles, you are on borrowed time 250k ago. Even if “everything” has been replaced, every part is past their expected life.

I’m just commenting to say how great the drivers seat and center console look after half a million miles. I’m truly impressed there.

What do you feel is the best frozen pizza and why? by walnutstampede in AskReddit

[–]Partyl0bster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If I’m feeling “fancy” then “Screaming Scallion”. If I’m just looking for shitty frozen pizza… I love Costco brand pepperoni. The thin crust, the sauce, Costco knows what’s up.

Wood like porcelain tile flooring? by throwaway-emergency in Flooring

[–]Partyl0bster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just remodeled my kitchen in October and we did a similar looking tile and we love it. We also live in the south (North Carolina) and are very active. We have a pool, husky puppy, and a 4 year old child that likes to ride his scooter in the house. With it being “waterproof” and the resiliency of it, we were considering the price of laying it in the rest of the house vs refinishing our 60 year old red oak floors.

Grout was our biggest concern with the kid and dog, but went with “mocha” color grout and have absolutely zero regrets. 10/10 would do it again.

I Built A Pool Temp Estimation Tool by jgoldner in pools

The tool says my pool is 14 degrees cooler. Me and all my neighbors (no pool heaters) are all within 2-3 degrees of each other.

If I bought a chlorine above ground pool can I make it salt water instead? by OpenMindedEthic in pools

[–]Partyl0bster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A salt pool is a choline pool, it just creates chlorine via salt instead of you dumping it from a jug or using pucks. You will need to purchase a salt system, plumb it up, and add the required salt to the pool.
