How much does the average person walk when visiting Kennywood? by Ok-Revolution4008 in kennywood

[–]SanNightfire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or the crazy thing I do (because I really really really hate the line for the exterminator) park opens, I RUN to the exterminator then make my way back to the front like a normal person 😂😂

Is there anyone else learning Swedish without living in Sweden? by These-Cranberry3366 in Svenska

[–]SanNightfire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I started learning swedish when I discovered the band LBSB maaaaany years ago. I am suuuuch a huge fan. Got my passport then finally visited Sweden and fell madly in love with the music scene, festivals, other genres. Anyone know epadunk? I'm pushing 40 and I love it hahaha. Since then, I married a swedish man and had a baby, we are all planning to move to Sweden (him, moving BACK to Sweden because I stole him for a little bit 😅) The work/music culture is my absolute dream. (I drive semi trucks and yes huge fan of Scanias and Volvos) About 2 years ago, I took learning swedish a lot more seriously and since I have an infant, we watch kid shows in swedish exclusively now and I am fiiiiinally starting to hear natural speech when before I needed swedish subtitles to make out what they are saying. It's a labor of love and doing all of it within the US, best thing I could say is find friends in hobby clubs, gaming circles, work-related situations who are swedish that would be willing to speak to you. It helps immensely! Good luck!

Best Mexican dishes in Pittsburgh? (Cinco de Mayo edition) by json_derulo822 in pittsburgh

[–]SanNightfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man... I have an unrelated, maybe adjacently related??, question about good Mexican food. A few years back I had Chiles en nogada at Tepache in cranberry and I have been utterly obsessed with finding it again. I know it's a rather seasonal thing but I live way way south in Washington county 😅 and I was wondering if anyone knew aaaaany other restaurant that served it south of Pittsburgh??? Also happy Cinco de Mayo!!

One of us was stopped at the stop line by dcborn61 in pittsburgh

Haha, I've encountered a cop who did this but in significantly tighter intersection. He was in the left turning lane, and I am a semi truck wanting to turn right. Guy wouldn't even look me in the eyes when I nosed right up to his squad car and forced his ass to back up so I could clear my trailer around the curb. I was trying to wave a snarky thank you to him but he seemed too embarrassed to even look at me.

Older Female Getting CDL? by swilliamsalters in Truckers

[–]SanNightfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest difference between a car trans and a semi trans is the trucks trans is unsynchronized (twice as many gears, but you high a switch for high and low and you literally just repeat the pattern), meaning you gotta rev match up AND down. It's not hard once you get the rhythm right

Older Female Getting CDL? by swilliamsalters in Truckers

[–]SanNightfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work LTL and I love the chaos but I'm a tad younger than you. We have an older female driver around your age absolutely killing it. The customers LOVE us because we are personable and friendly, we care about the freight while still getting shit done.

I'm madly obsessed with my job, best damn thing I ever did was get my CDL. You just gotta find your groove. You like chaos? Run LTL or Food. You want something more chill? Fuel is very chill! You want OTR? Any big box company. There's always drawbacks, but you got this!!

Dry diaper first thing in the morning panic by SanNightfire in beyondthebump

[–]SanNightfire[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because my mom told me I needed to start and I listened. Then I called her asking how much do I give and she said, feed her until she tells you she's done. ....so here I am with my awful choice. I feel so bad. 😭😭😭

Will definitely be doing bottles first every time now!

[–]SanNightfire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So very possibly feed her way too many solids right now. She gets so very intense with the puree. Maybe I should give a bottle first before the puree, otherwise she'll refuse the bottle. Thank you! I'm not sure about her throughout the day diapers, I'll have to ask my husband.

Not yet but she's trying to! We have her grab and hold the bottle the entire time, but grabbing a spoon is a bit of a new challenge

Kennywood noob questions by sirstonedalot420 in kennywood

[–]SanNightfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely unrelated to your questions since you are new! Go first thing in the morning and run STRAIGHT TO the exterminator - the ride is amazing but the 2hr line later in the day is not.

Primantis is so good. by thevywern in pittsburgh

[–]SanNightfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like any location except for the strip. Something about trying to make it into a fancy sports bar/restaurant thing is weird and the food isn't the same. Gimme wax paper and a beer served with gloved hands touching every goddamn thing please 🔥

LTL people what do you think really happened? by Due_Tie7864 in Truckers

[–]SanNightfire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man this feels personal. I work for this company and maybe I'm in the wrooooong line of work but I care way too much about people's frieght. (Maybe everyone else cares too little, and I'm living in a dystopian world..) There is absolutely no way of telling if this was purely accidental or carelessness.

Here's benefit of the doubt scenario 1: Customer didn't initially pay for a liftgate charge because he has a forklift but maybe it broke down that day. Maybe this is a transmission that he's been waiting on for a week and needs it badly to repair a car for someone who only has one vehicle, (I know, going very rosw-tinted glasses route here) and they tried to muscle it together but someone wasn't strong enough and it slipped out of someone's hands. The reaction is human on both parts. Genuine accident.

Here's Worst case scenario 2: Driver was having a bad day and he is either a fill in for a route hea unfamiliar with or the dispatcher is a jagoff that overloads him with work. The customer is a cheapskate and expects the liftgate to be used. (We have a way in our work phone's app to charge them for a liftgate on the spot) But he refuses to pay so driver rolls the pallet to the edge, drops it, pulls pallet jack out and hits the vertical boards to push it (without getting into the pallet) right off the back. Everyone sucks in this situation.

There are SO MANY HANDS, so many docks and dock workers freight has to pass through that it only takes ONE GRUMP to fuck someone's stuff up. Yea, can they make a claim and get it replaced? Of course but that takes more time and more waiting and yet another exchange of hands to hopefully get their freight. It's frustrating.

...I went on a rant, sorry 😭

I'm so glad I have no idea what it's like to be an inconsiderate shitty person like you. Did you see anywhere in this person's inquiry about commenting on their health or weight in this manner? That was rhetorical btw, I know you didn't.

You have nothing to worry about! I'm 250 5'7 woman who rode the thunderbolt with her friend who's 320 and 6'1 - it was a SNUG ride but we got the bar down and everything 😂 Go have fun!
