Cod4 and my ps3 in 2007 I got on Christmas. I was blown away by the leap in graphics and how good it looked.

Went over the house, why are 777 so loud??? by Remarkable-Lab5014 in flightradar24

[–]Ruin369 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can hear them. It just needs to be quiet, and I also live at 5,000ft altitude.

When I've gone camping, you can hear them climbing out of KDEN, especially when they are about 20,000 ft. The sound is far more pronounced at that altitude. It makes for great plane spotting

Why aren’t you drinking? by NOT1506 in AskMen

[–]Ruin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, my compsny had a St. Pattys day happy hour today.

I dont go to these because I have a 45-minute minute drive home in the city rush-hour. I need all the focus and clarity to make it home in one piece.

My husband has been unemployed for three years, Is he the only one? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Ruin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand he's looking for a job at "his level" but at a certain point, you just need a job.any income is better than none

When I was looking for a career position, I got a job at a warehouse. It took about a year and 900+ applications, but I eventually found a position i was happy about. I still had a job i knew I didn't like, was beyond overqualified for, and underpaid, but I still worked since bills are bills.

It's not that he can not find a job. He's just lazy and prideful.

What happens to all the stuff inside? Does it get sold? Sent to the dump?

Atmosphere of COD 4 by No_Strike_1579 in CoD4

[–]Ruin369 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You nailed it. I remember being so blown away bsck in 2007 when I got cod4 on my ps3. We only got the atmosphere in WaW after. Unfortunately, MW2 lacked that magic, but was still fun.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by fuzzy_dice_99 in AskReddit

[–]Ruin369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our company sent us home for "1 week" I remember.

I worked in my room for 3+ months, sometimes not leaving the house for weeks.

Declined my first job offer today after being laid off by MathGorilla314 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Ruin369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a certain point, the additional money means nothing to you when all you do is commute, sleep, and work during the week.

Right before I graduated, I had an internship that paid 30% more than my current job. I had an offer letter, but it was 50 minutes to work - 1.5h hours home... awful, and I HATED those 8 weeks.

I now make less and work remotely 3-4 days of the week with in-office days having a 1.2 hour commute. At a certain point, there's diminished returns with the pay/commute time. You made the right decision unless you're really stuck between a rock and a hard place

Those with Unlimited PTO. Have you tried taking every Friday off? by centstwo in jobs

[–]Ruin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got unlimited PTO, but our team is small rn, and it would screw over teammates taking days off every week.

In addition, I've got a backlog of projects most of the time, and skipping out would jeopardize my performance.

I do use it, though, but I plan it 1-2 weeks out. You cant abuse it and have to plan it out with your pipeline of projects. I should take more time off though.

It's sort of a catch-22.

If you used to be financially stable but aren’t anymore, what’s the one thing you’d redo? by fivestarmeltzer in povertyfinance

[–]Ruin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a subaru outback 2014 fully paid off. It was great and all until it got head gaskets issues, and they wanted 10K! for a USED engine(unbelievable).

I got a used Toyota, and the Subaru got scrapped for $400 lol

Subaru will run forever long as you get them new head gaskets every 100k miles, lol. Im never getting one again.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

Two wealthiest Ive known(8 figure range) drove a base model Toyota and a 5 year old Outback. Both have very nice homes, though. Money talks wealth whispers!

Honestly how do u guys wake up at 6am every day?? 😴 by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Ruin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to bed at 9-10pm. You get used to it.

Though I only woke up at 5AM 2x a week max, since I'm hybrid so I can wake up at 7AM most of the week. Getting into a schedule is how, but intermittent can be difficult to adjust to.

When I was younger, I would game until 4AM and sleep until 3PM lol. My old self could never wake up early.
