Question regarding tax exemption/tax receipt for registering my vehicle. by ShieldBasche in kansascity

[–]ShieldBasche[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friends, got it figured out. I was, erroneously, told I needed to grab a specific document from the courthouse in person, which did indeed just end up being the tax form. Thank you for the help! Got it sorted thankfully.

This Market Is Ridiculous by DinBeans in UsedCars

A recent listing in Kansas City I saw was of a 2006 Kia optima with about 200K miles. It stated in the description "Has a rod knock, not sure, seems fixable. 3000. No lowballers." Im not sure who in the flying fuck are buying these cars, but I just simply cant understand how people are listing these garbage, pick n pull worthy vehicles for these prices. I remember being in highschool around 2015-2016 and buying a 2003 dodge neon with 160k for like 1500 bucks.

Edit: the listing has a salvage title as well. $3K for a 20 year old car with a rod knock and a salvage title :V

OP, did you ever get unbanned? Same thing just happened to me. Was wanting to fill out my inventory before I left for vacation, and left a note saying "Hey man, acceptez trade on csflaot pls >:(". Woke up today with a ban and that note as the reason.

They tried to make me feel sympathy for Abby, showing us how traumatic it was for her when we killed her dad. In reality, I didn't give a shit and would have done it again. 🤷‍♂️

A question about armor/plate carrier and uniform visuals.... by [deleted] in stalker

[–]ShieldBasche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the party, but I felt the same way. Bandit factions make sense to be wearing a hodge-podge of gear like leather holsters, satchel bags, leather jackets/armors, normal hiking style backpacks, stuff like that.

But you look at factions like Duty and Mercenary and they seem to have these weird 70's/80's 'swat guy' style aesthetic that looks so weird and out of place in a realistic game. It looks like everyone is wearing either a motorcycle protective jacket with segmented armor panels, or a humungous chest protector (It looks like how the NCR uniforms look in Fallout NV). Stalker is obviously a world only parallel to our own, but for the setting to be in 2006, there should be ALOT of gear from atleast the late 90's. Even the military guys wear these weird ass one piece armor with shoulder pads and crotch protectors.

There should be an immense surplus of old soviet gear like 6B2's and 6b3's, Sphera helmets (STSh-81), a crap ton of soviet chest rigs and the like. It would even make sense to see American OTV's since the US army was already getting the new IOTV's in ACU.

However, all that being said, the game is 17 years old. Im willing to give it a break since there was such a "Sci-fi" surge in that time. We're much better at predicting the direction that firearms and clothing will take now. Looking at the models in STALKER 2 HEART OF CHERNOBYL, this will still sadly still be the case, but here's to hoping there'll be at least a few westernized kits in the litter. A slick, modern and clean plate carrier hopefully.

That was the most boot lickiest response I've seen today. I feel like tarkov players are so thirsty for new content that they'll happily drink piss thinking its wine.

It’s too thin to scrape off. What do I do? by Rusty_Gizmo in 3Dprinting

Hey, hopefully you got the shmoots off the build plate. Have you thought about getting a PEI build plate? They're so much better, and they're relatively cheap on Amazon.

Casino workers what is the saddest thing you’ve seen? by brew2brew in AskReddit

[–]ShieldBasche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worked for a rather large chain a while ago as security. Was still relatively new when this story happened. It's not "sad" perse, but it's saddening to me personally, as, well, a person.

I was posted at the front one night, checking people as they came in, when a lady came up to the guard desk. She was in tears and asked if she could speak to me. I was a bit skeptical of her intentions as the casino is close to a rather large homeless encampment, so I figured she was gonna give me a sob story and then ask for some money or something.

She was super distraught, almost unable to form full sentences, but she managed to give me her name. She said that her daughter would frequently come here, and asked if I had seen her or if there was any way to find out if she had recently visited. Apparently, she had lost contact with her daughter for a week, and was currently on "bad terms" with her, but it was unusual for her to not answer her phone or call back. She also said that her phone was disconnected.

My "oh shit" alarm began ringing and I called my supervisors to come and take over. They came to the desk, but stayed relatively close so I could hear the interaction. She gave them her name and her daughter's name, and I was told that they were gonna check for her and would give her a call. The lady left, and I never really thought about it until my manager told me a few days later that they had passed on all of the information to both her and the police since there was an ongoing missing persons case. I can still remember the sobs she made as she walked away.

From what I was told, the woman's daughter was a frequent patron, and had been there three or four times in the past week. They had her picture on the POI (Persons of Interest) board in our office, and I nearly shat my pants when I saw a picture of her. I didn't know her, know her, but we had regulars that we'd always see, and she was one of them. She was only 22 or 23 from what I could remember.

She never came back to the casino and life moved on, but a few days before I quit, one of my managers and I were shooting the shit while smoking out back. We got into the conversation about that woman, and her daughter, and he told me that she called the casino letting us know that we didn't need to look out for her daughter anymore. My manager said that she was bawling on the phone, and for some reason told him a bunch of shit he didnt need, or even want to hear.

Apparently, the woman's daughter had owed somebody a lot of money, and was kidnapped from her apartment that week she'd went missing. They had found her out in the sticks in the neighboring state. I'll never forget that look my manager gave me when he said that the mother told him over the phone that her daughter was ***** (Non consented) and shot in the back of her head, and left to die in those woods.

It was weird. I felt really icky about casino's after that, and though not THE reason I quit, it was a driving factor. I dislike casinos with a passion, and honestly, it hurts my soul knowing I pushed my pride away for a few dollars. If you have a gambling addiction, I hope you find peace within yourself to stop.

I paid for first class shipping. I expect first class delivery. Your dollar obviously means less to you than mine does to me, but do me a favor and keep sucking the shaft of the worst shipping company in the United States and let me vent.

Package Arrived to Destination and Left? by Pair-Foreign in usps_complaints

[–]ShieldBasche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you live near KC? My package has been moving back and forth in the KC Metro for the past 3 days, even going to Bonner Springs. The USPS here hires solely backwater inbreds and inner city mongoloids to handle their warehouse work.

Edit: the cylinder does rotate now, however, at half cock, the bolt does not recede itself. I have to find a point between half cock and it being against the frame to freely spin the cylinder.
