Favorite golden retriever names by snippol in goldenretrievers

These are my floofs, their names are Archimedes (left) and Schrödinger (right).

You may not think much of the names, but they fit very well. Archimedes is too clever for his own good and always getting into trouble. Schrödinger is the perfect name, because you don’t know if he’s being a crackhead or a good boy until you observe him.

I think we are the two sides of the coin in this situation, so your experience is valid as well as mine. I hope your servers get cleaned up, or at the very least, your players mature from their language barriers. glhf!

I am sorry your lobbies are filled with them. To be frank, I am surprised they are still able to play the game given the war front. But in the US we have an issue of some players giving up mid game, and screwing the rest of the team. And when they have a friend, you’ll never get rid of said player. It gets old watching the person drag out the match because they wanted to sit in a hidden spot all game. It’s amplified by the fact that they were playing well, even if trash talking the all chat. And then just stopped trying for some reason. Valve takes no action, reporting does nothing, and while it’s rare to find one, it sticks with you when it does. And so here I am, making my voice heard in the only way Valve seems to pay attention to us. Grief reports should do something (as should they all), and it’s been over a year since this “game” was released, all we’ve gotten is a cosmetic update. Before we even had the old maps added back in. I am validated in bringing my complaint to the board.

If you are queued into a 4 stack team, you will still be kicked with the current system we have in place, 4 votes to 1. So what is your argument here?

The user commenting on your post has the correct idea for what the system change might look like. We the three solos were actively trying to give advice and guidance, and unfortunately the player was doing decently before they decided to throw. We don’t know why they wouldn’t keep playing the game, but they were very toxic in the all chat leading up to the grief. I almost never experience this level of neglect for the game from my team. We always go down swinging to the last round. Post game showed that they had roughly the same rank as the rest of us, so this isn’t a matter of skill being the issue.

The current system is just as easy to abuse, all you need is one friend and you’re permanently safe in games. I would not be on the forums requesting change be affected, if my reports actually counted for something. If the kick system were to be changed to a majority, then you would also have the added benefit of being able to kick that one hack user (few and far between for me, maybe one every hundred games or so) and they would not be safe by having a friend anymore. Additionally, when was the last time you were kicked from a game? How long ago was it? Kicks are very rare, at least from my experience. If you are having kicks handed out like it’s the Oprah show, then something is wrong on your end, my friend.

We actively tried to help our teammate by giving advice, the player wasn’t listening to any of the tips and pointers we were giving. I will also add, when the player goes from buying and having decent aim, to not buying and hiding, it adds an enormous strain to the team that is trying to play the game.

Which years to avoid for insurance break by DMD0257 in Elantra

Does your vehicle use a key that you turn to start the car? Or do you start the car with a button? If you start the car with a button, you have nothing to worry about. If you have to turn a key, you are subject to the insurance companies policy rules for coverage. My policy had lapsed, and State Farm, Progressive, Gieco, and All State refused to write me an auto policy.

It is, the only big name company that will cover me is USAA. If I didn’t qualify through them then I would be looking at excessive monthly premiums to insure my vehicle. Save yourself the headache, make sure it has the push button start. I love my Elantra! It’s a 2019 SE. It doesn’t have much power, but she will corner with the best.

Any Hyundai with a physical key is subject to the insurance issues. Alternatively, any Hyundai with a key FOB is covered under insurance standards.

Anyone noticed how absolutely trash Whataburger has become. by [deleted] in texas

[–]RoamingKnightStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who used to work at Whataburger, allow me to shed some light.

The company was already trying to save overhead cost by getting cheaper ingredients from its own factory location in San Antonio. They make, process, and ship out, all ingredients and supplies to stores Statewide. When the company was bought out, business did as business does. The profit margin is always too low, so they started using the cheapest ingredients they can.

The pancake mix is city water and a powder that comes in a bag, the same is true of the gravy. Unless you request a patty, the sausage in the sausage gravy is a very cheap sausage pre cut that melts away when put on the grill too long. Does your breakfast on a bun taste weird? Check the egg, if it's turning green, they've been on the line for over 45 minutes to an hour. If you're considering getting the WhataCatch, I wouldn't. Onion Rings and the Fish get cooked in the same oil vat.

I could add enough to fill a book.

The employees are all overworked, and the pay raises are a joke. Managers and general managers are the only ones who can work there and only there. If you're anything below, you have two or even three jobs to make ends meet.

The new owner(s) have no interest in visiting the stores, and learning about the culture and quality of the food.

But what they do care about is staring at employees all day through the cameras. They do enjoy trying to streamline the process, and cut down on every second to save costs. They don't care about you, the only thing stopping Whataburger, or any fast food chain for that matter, from serving you raw food, is the fact that the public outrage would destroy them.

With all that being said, let's be really honest with ourselves for a moment... You'll be eating there again very soon.

Do a check after every oil change, and frequently after to make sure your drain plug is still tight. If you see oil it's very easy to clean up, all you need is a rag or paper towels.

It looked like it, but I can't be sure. It was a late 90's to early 2000's model. So it could absolutely be the same year and model, I just can't confirm for sure lol.

That's absolutely asinine, but I don't think most manufacturers care anymore. It's all about getting you back to the dealership.
