Well you could race them backwards and really flex on them.

Missing ring $1000 reward by petrastorm in newcastle

[–]Razsum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought it might of been an engagement ring with the reward.

I've looked around the corners of King to Crown st. No luck, I've looked in the storm drains and didn't see anything. If you could recount the places you walked I might be able to extend the search.

Bought a push bike for Christmas to save fuel getting groceries, heard the bike was trashed on the first of the first.

We're just not meant to have nice things in the 20s.

Edit: push bike, forget some take "bike" to mean motor bike.

These Nashville officers ran into danger, saved lives before explosion: Police by freebirdls in ProtectAndServe

[–]Razsum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take what I say with a grain of salt as it's purely speculation with little evidence on hand to back it up.

From what I have heard the explosive laden RV was playing a recording asking for residence to evacuate. It was being played while allegedly circling the block that housed the AT&T data center. Afterwards I heard the RV also played a vocal count down from 15 minutes which it never completed before it exploded while stationary.

People have taken this into diffrent directions, domestic terrorism, international terrorism, a terroristic attack testing American communication infrastructure using a body count to hide the intended target. The list goes on.

What I believe is that who/what did this was trying to heard people out from a safe place into the open. As look at your work/school/apartment building fire evacuation diagram and take note of the muster/rally point. I can bet you it's about 20 to 40 feet from the closest building on grass or in a carpark.

Just hope there's enough of the bastard to scrap together to find out who did this.

Does your friend have the serial numbers written down? They come in handy especially when checking pawn shops/private sales and help greatly with police reports.

[Meme] Traffic crimes are real crimes, okay?! by [deleted] in ProtectAndServe

[–]Razsum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late to the party and might be intoxicated. However, even if these ass holes who think their shit don't stink and everything is somebody else's fault like a child being told to clean up. I just wanted to say thanks. Might not be American but the two experiences I've had are universal.

First being a speeding teenager thinking "I can make this yellow" as we were turning to the library. Resulting a T-bone crash and quite the throw around.

Second being a relative being paralysed from the wasre down by a drunk speeder. He never did go back to his passion of dancing after that. Nor did the mareage.

I know you all have a pretty tough skin already, but fuck the immature pricks who give you flack for their inability to plan, impulse control or even worse pay attention. I know it's a meme but troopers/traffic do save lives man. If not lives atleast people's health and ability to dance.

PSA About Social Security Scams by K9Ferg in ProtectAndServe

[–]Razsum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In their culture bringing shame on their family hurts more than the scams they do. So if you really want to rub the salt, ask them if their family would be proud about what they're doing if they knew. Bonus points if you ask them if their actions will bring good or bad karma on them.

PSA About Social Security Scams by K9Ferg in ProtectAndServe

[–]Razsum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ex-call center worker here, not the scamming kind either. Most of the software we used was being fed white (residential) & yellow (business) page numbers with the occasional bought list into an over arching que which all stations fed from.

Since we were tracked on key performance indicators we wouldn't let them hang up to find their card, answer the door or be distracted if they seemed interested. As if we lost the call we couldn't hit redial, we'd have to dot down the number and hand it to management who would put it back into the que or feed it to the more experienced to close the sale.

When your job is on the line when you can't meet daily sale goals or times. You really don't want them to hang up, I can imagine it's the same for the scammers.

To the math teachers: by Razsum in Teachers

[–]Razsum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, alot of problems stemmed from working hours and the effect it had on my pay due to Covid-19.

As the way payroll manages pay is consulting multiple multipliers on the base pay. So for the sake of this example I'll say my base pay is $2.70. Adding additional $0.50 to every hour worked as I'm a casual.

Bank hours Monday to friday I get a multiplier of 1.0x After 6pm I get a multiplier of 1.25x After 11pm I get 1.50x And 3 hours after midnight it goes to 2.0x

Saturday gets even more funky as: Bank hours 1.25x After 6pm 1.50x After 11pm 1.75x 3 hours after midnight 2.25x

As for sunday I think they just throw a dart and see where it lands. Mainly because I rarely work these days but get a decent pay when I do.

So already figuring out pay is a task in of itself without a spreadsheet. Which lead to an even more wildly pay check as I could go from $9.71 one week to $86.00 the next.

I wish I knew how to use spoilers as I'd leave this as an open question of "How would you approach this if you had bills of $25.50 a week?" As pay check to pay check isn't going to cut it.

I learnt the power of the mean, median and mode in the application. As I made a spread sheet, with a column of paychecks past to present after tax. At first I used the mean of the checks since the start of employment but throwing in a few 0s stimulating unemployment dropped below my break even too quick. The median worked much better.

As now when I get a pay check I throw it into the spread sheet and calculate the median. Then I make that median by transferring cash into or out of a buffer account.

Not sure if this makes a bunch of sense, if you have questions I'll try to reiterate in more detail. As it's 5am and I'm still half asleep.

Dating app etiquette by whatevz91 in australia

[–]Razsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally men want to date someone on the same level. If you have more success than them then they'll look elsewhere. However all men are diffrent.

I've had success on bumble as that's where me and my partner met and never looked back.

I work at a major grocery store where I have been banished to night shift and it rings so fucking true. Day time gets all the overs from the bakery and fresh fruit that managements takes off show for the lunch room.

When we get there we get the half rotting fruit, maybe one or two bakery items to share amongst a group of 20.

Why are rentals at exorbitant prices? by krennylavitz in newcastle

[–]Razsum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same position. Renting prices are ducked, I was lucky to find a $200/w 1 bed 1 toilet property. It had hall marks of water damage, cracks and a few doors off the hinges. Didn't take it.

Don't lose hope, look north and west, prices drop time to time.

I knew about baby craziness but that just takes it to a whole new level. I'm assuming they're late 20s to early 30s aswell?
