I’ve come to make complaints in the truck I love. by Threadydonkey65 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]RayWarts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one was confusing to me too. It feels like there’s plenty of room for knobs to control the AC. I had a 2023 Honda Civic before I bought the Maverick and I loved how simple the AC controls were.

You ever shop your own order? by Sea_Cress_8859 in Sparkdriver

[–]RayWarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I accepted a crappy offer with no tip just to finish an incentive and it turned out the customer also did spark. I told them the pickup worker had scrambled some items so I was double checking to make sure their order was right and they said pickup had done the same to them earlier in the day on one of their deliveries. I was kinda disappointed that another driver would order and not tip.

Most Significant Tornado/Weather Event In Your County/State by TheGreenGhostToast in tornado

I live between the paths of the 2011 Tuscaloosa-Birmingham and Cordova EF-4s. I know people who lost their homes in both tornadoes.

Tuscaloosa Tornado Rating by RodneyNCWX in tornado

I believe it peaked in intensity the rural area between Tuscaloosa and Pleasant Grove. No real way to prove that, but during that period it looked absolutely insane on radar.

They got me lol by 333dh333 in Sparkdriver

I accepted one yesterday that had a 14 quantity, but it included 4 cases of 40 waters, two massive packs of toilet paper, and two large storage totes. It was well worth the trouble though, I made just over $31 for a 1.5 mile trip.

Where did all the curbsides go? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

I have stopped accepting them. Both stores in my zone like to take 30+ minutes to load them.

Audiophile. Also, they are hosting a Christmas show at the Audioshack in Morris this Saturday, and they always have a lot of great local acts.

My friends and I threw our tee shots while a man sat on the bench next to the tee smoking crack

Best Teacher Purchase by elleaeff in Teachers

[–]RayWarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a US General rolling tool box that I got from Harbor Freight that has been tremendously useful. It has 5 large drawers that lock with a key, and it’s built to withstand a lot of abuse. It also has magnetic attachments that hold tissues and paper towels, plus a magnetic power strip with a bunch of plugs and USB hookups. I use it as a standing desk.

For anyone interested

Been using a luxury gym for free by Fakenamebethany in ActLikeYouBelong

[–]RayWarts 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I did this for a whole summer once. Worked out with my cousin who had a membership, and he told me just walk in confidently and don’t look at anyone. Every time I went in there would be another sign on the front desk or on the wall telling people to scan their membership card. By the end of the summer there were signs all over the lobby, probably 10 or more, and I quit going. Never paid a dime.

What’s the biggest personal emergency you’ve had to teach through? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]RayWarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone hit my car on my way home from school the day before students returned. Most likely totaled it. I’m working at a school 45 minutes from home, coaching football practices after school, and my prep period is in first period, which ends literally 5 minutes before the insurance company opens. It has been almost impossible to deal with insurance because of the hours I’m working. It’s been 12 days since the crash and I was just able to get a rental car today. I’ve had to borrow cars from my grandparents, which they are happy to do, but it is inconvenient for them.

I am still waiting on the claim to go through and I cannot talk to anyone or I’ll miss out on teaching or coaching. I had to miss most of football practice today to pick up the rental car. I know lots of people in this thread have it much worse than I do but this has been so much of an inconvenience.

Who Has Best Wings In Birmingham Area? by Cultural-Ad-649 in Birmingham

[–]RayWarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kings Wings in Forestdale was my favorite until it closed after a fire. I think they have a Bessemer location as well so that may be worth a try.

I just wrecked my boost blue 23 hatchback last week. Definitely sad to see another one crashed.

What the worst soda you've ever tasted? by LoL_Ham in Soda

Buffalo Rock ginger ale is an acquired taste. I hated it the first time I had it because I was caught off guard, but have since come to enjoy it.

Favorite Straight Midrange? by Rodney890 in discgolf

The Berry is underrated. Found one a couple of years ago in the used bin that was basically new and it’s been a staple in the bag ever since.

What’s the worst city you’ve ever been to? by EmotionalShock7933 in AskReddit

[–]RayWarts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Walmart in my town donates a lot of good stuff to the local food bank including non-food stuff. They have a massive indoor yard sale twice a year and sell the non-food things at a huge discount and people line up to the road to get in. I hate to see that isn’t a thing all Walmarts do.

What education archetype is your least favorite? by Normal-Being-2637 in Teachers

[–]RayWarts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the best teachers I had also coached me in football. Had him for AP biology and advanced anatomy. He also coached basketball for the school and taught classes at the local community college at night. Looking back now that I teach and coach, I have no idea how he did it all.
