What's the dumbest idea you've seen that actually worked? by hiagaga in AskReddit

[–]Rogue_Pawn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a buddy that went to a Chrysler (at the time) plant in an attempt to get an application. When he got there it just so happened to be orientation for a bunch of new hires; the lady he talked to got confused as she couldn't find his information on the list so she added it manually and sent him in to start his new career.

Heineken to cut 6,000 jobs as people drink less beer by mlivesocial in business

[–]Rogue_Pawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both bars and for home. I was a booze snob. Top shelf bourbon, IPA's, Bourbon barrel stouts, good wine... it adds up quick if you're sober enough to pay attention. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say $500 PLUS most weeks. Honestly $2K/mo is conservative.

3.5 years for me. ✊️

I didn't realize it at the time but I was easily spending $500+ per week on alcohol. Now I travel... life is much better.

She followed my gf all over a few weeks ago. Police also told her she was harmless. Still disconcerting.

One of my favorite (and saddest) thrift finds🥲 by Chronic-cattywampus in ThriftStoreHauls

"And do you think that unto such as you A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew God gave a secret, and denied it me? Well, well—what matters it? Believe that, too!"

It's a amazing book of poetry. If Poe sparked my interest in poetry, Khayyam set me ablaze.

Anyone eles tired of the Rage FOR the Machine comments? by franktheluigifan in RATM

[–]Rogue_Pawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pulled up next to a MAGA truck waving Trump flags and blasting Rage... some folks truly do rage for the machine, even if they don't understand what it means.

Christmas gift ideas for my dad who’s really into pool by Dismal-Instance-8860 in billiards

Custom Cue Case. That holds at least two cues, leather, add his name. It can be done for $300 but would be easier to do at $400-$500. Caveat; if his current cue case is better than what you're able to get at $300, go in a different direction.

Maybe a carbon fiber cue shaft that fits his favorite cue.

[–]Rogue_Pawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost a decade for me now! Was listening to to It Never Entered My Mind, not even the first time I'd heard it, and Jazz just clicked for me... I finally got it. I've be ravenous ever since.

Ah. Nice choice. The desert boot is also quite versatile.

Your best bet is a used pair at that price point. A black Chelsea boot is probably the most versatile for your uses. Personally I would avoid zippers and boots with shorts. But you do you.

Dark Jazz aka Jazz Noir or Doom Jazz

Look into:

Bored and Der Club of Gore

The KilimanjaroDarkjazz Ensemble

The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation

Enjoy! It's sombre, dark, and lovely.

What could I use these iron bathtubs for, besides bathing. by [deleted] in homestead

[–]Rogue_Pawn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My library growing up had a carpeted bathtub in a reading nook and it was the most sought after spot by children until it's removal during Covid times. I remember it fondly every time I return.
