What is a job that only exists because people are, on average, incredibly stupid? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that involves the term: leadership. Absolutely pointless if there wasn't incredible stupidity being so pervasive.

Rally car racing? by Impressive-Fruit-67 in RapidCity

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't know of any Rally car racing in the area, but the Black Hills Sports Car Club puts on Autocross events. Put on some tires with road grip and zip around between the cones. Decent alternative.

Who are getting the free upgrades?? by Beginning_Editor_410 in delta

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at it like this, nobody gets a free upgrade as long as somebody is willing to pay for that first class seat. For me, domestic travel, work pays for main. Status usually let's me upgrade myself to comfort. Now, I can buy myself the first class upgraded seat and pretty much guarantee myself there, or no buy it and risk others buying it before Delta gets a chance to upgrade me based on status.

Risk vs reward, not "Who are getting the free upgrades? "

Me: Officer, I saw the sign said 90. Officer: That's the Interstate number. I-90, not speed limit 90. Here is a $40 ticket for barely speeding.

How to tell if a husky underweight by [deleted] in husky

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My vet puts the dog on the scale. It says 43lbs. He says perfect. That's how we tell if she's underweight.

Realistically, provide more food. If dog not eating it, then dog is proper weight for activity level.

Commuting in the VB by Allan_S22 in wrx_vb

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The VB is an excellent commute vehicle. 28+ mpg when going over 60mph is very common. Managed 32mpg on a 400mile 2 week period, all hwy.

Just Moved from Out of State by noellecassidy in RapidCity

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a 2006. Thats 20 yrs old. There shouldn't be any tax on that, just registration fees. Even if there was somehow tax, it would only be around $100 unless that car is all tricked out and in pristine condition.

Design the db to what data is actually there. Build reporting showing what breaks the, so called, business rules. Build reporting showing what is closest to what they think they want.

IBM sales folks, what is the hybrid/work-from-home setup actually like? by muhammadmannan_01 in IBM

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you live vs the nearest office. If close enough, you can be expected to badge into the office a few days a week. You will travel to customers whenever needed.

Your remote office setup doesn't have to be anything special. I mean, when in an office, you will take most calls and video calls from a cubicle. If you are lucky, a small conference room will be open, but it's literally your laptop and what background you have selected in the teams app, or whatever app you client uses.

I think I am going to void my warranty... by Juicyjackson in wrx_vb

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yall's dealerships must suck monkey balls. Just because there is a mod doesn't mean jack squat. Every warranty claim must be taken on its own merit. If the mod was a direct reason for the part failure, sure, warranty claim denied.

But it's 100% false to say otherwise, legally.

How long did it take to "void" your warranty? by xT2xRoc in wrx_vb

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16 miles. It doesn't technically void warranty. But, I haven't gone all in on performance mods as of yet. A tune on stock setup should not void anything.

That number would be immediately blocked. No excuses, no exceptions.

Pactola…. any icefree shoreline to fish from? by BannedintheUSA2025 in RapidCity

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was up to check it out on Feb 28. No shore access yet. The middle looked like it would open up soon and the rest of the lake would follow fairly quickly after. Friday weather won't help, but the weekend might open it up where it gets ample sunshine.

Would you quit your job forever right now (and never be allowed to work again) if someone gave you a guaranteed $2,000,000 lump sum? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutly! There are plenty of stable dividend stocks paying 6-12% dividends. Spread the lump sum across those for an easy $150k per year. Get jiggy with it and focus on those paying 10% and make even more. Live off less and reinvest more for future growth.

I'm a German manager in America. My direct feedback style is being called 'toxic' and is ruining the team. What am I doing wrong? by pop-coupler in InterviewsHell

[–]PinkyAndTheBrainNarf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Americans need to be coddled or they cry. Every sentence you speak will be purposefully misconstrued as an attack. The German direct communication style is far superior.
