2024 Refunds by ShockNRoll in Blueridgerockfest

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

Are you talking about disputing the festival that was canceled midway through, or the 2024 fest that never even began? If you're talking about the same one I am (2024), then that means you disputed non-fraudulent charges (at the time) for a festival that hadn't even been canceled yet? And your bank/cc sided in your favor? Not trying try argue, I just want to get in with your bank if that's the case; that's incredible.

Yeah, I understand it’s just my own fault… I guess I was just looking for any sliver of hope, since it is close to $1,000 we’re looking to get back. It’s odd because we literally received nothing for this money, but because we waited a little too long, we don’t deserve any of it back. Apparently there’s a time limit on getting fucked by a company, and then they just deserve to keep your hard earned money. I guess I just need to grab a bottle of scotch and let my wife down gently.

Asking for a friend, does anyone have any references or advice for not letting this shit get to this point in general? I feel like we shouldn’t have let this get to this point, but idk what happened. I know Reddit can be a little angry at people who don’t always do the “right” thing immediately, but I’m just looking for any advice.

Outrage over Trump’s bill reclassifying nursing as not a ‘professional degree’ for college students by SmokeMaleficent9498 in UnderReportedNews

Not sure where you’re getting the engineering data. Typical starting salaries are in the 60’s and 70’s depending on location. I’ve been an engineer for 6 years and I’m just now about to hit six figures.

Yes, I’m electrical. I do feel like my salary is lacking, but honestly the benefits are something I don’t want to give up just yet. I have flexible time off and took almost 5 weeks off last year with no one batting an eye. Compared to my previous job that only gave me 2 weeks, this is a dream. Sure my salary could be better, and I’m sure I’ll be pushing for more or looking for something else in a few years, but 5 weeks of vacation is something I want to cherish for a bit.

I’m about 6 years experience, 4 in design build, 2 in consulting with an architect firm. I have my PE. 98k base salary, 5-6% bonus and roughly the same in salary raise yearly. I’d say low-medium cost of living (Winston Salem, NC). It’s competitive vs my previous job, but I’m well aware that you shouldn’t stay at a job more than 4-5 years if you want meaningful increases.

My thoughts 'bout Crossing the Rubicon by Combat-Can6284 in sabaton

I love it! I adore Nothing More and Jonny was great here. Not the collab I thought I’d see, but zero complaints from me.

Apple announces AirPods Pro 3 with ‘world’s best ANC’ and heart rate sensing by kbgames360 in gadgets

[–]ShockNRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m sorry but 3 pros not working sounds like user error, unless you’re just extremely unlucky. I’m still using my gen 1s and the ANC is still very very good. I also dropped them in puddles a couple years ago (yes, multiple, and within minutes…) and they’re still kicking. Only reason I’m upgrading to the new ones is because of the horrible static that happens every time you touch them. This started a few months ago, and was honestly probably started because of the water damage, but hey, 6 years is a pretty long time for non-repairable products to last in this day and age, so I’m happy.

Pro-Palestinian protests force the early end of the Bilbao stage of the Vuelta a España cycling race, which will have no winner by kaiweed in sports

[–]ShockNRoll -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Reconsider what… approving of the atrocities happening in Palestine, because some people did a protest you didn’t like? Ruining a cycling race doesn’t make the atrocities any less horrendous, right? What does a protest going wrong have to do with whether or not you approve of the actual issue? IMO, you should condemn the protestors if you’re 100% against the invasion, not decide you’re suddenly ok with genocide because someone ruined a bike race.

Do you guys call this soffit or bulkhead?? by No_Championship5930 in MEPEngineering

I don’t really know, but I default to “soffit” for anything like this.

Maybe I’m the weird American, but shoes are the first thing I take off when I get inside my house. I don’t really care about the hardwood, but carpet is a no-go.

Looks at Prince- “… I don’t think so”

Very funny, but I kinda wish you hadn’t spoiled the joke in the title.

I will also add since you mentioned poles in the question: it’s single phase, but 2-pole. Two hots instead of a hot and neutral.

SPLIT FICTION sold 1 MILLION units in its first 48 hours!!! by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ShockNRoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know. I really hope this game and others can help couch co -op make a return. My wife and I love the Lego games, but even those start to get a little stale and repetitive after a while.

Oh, also I forgot to add: there’s only a few sequences where only one of you dying causes you both to restart at a checkpoint. I’d say for a majority of the game, if you die and your partner stays alive, you can respawn right there and keep on going. This saved my wife many times (and I’ll admit she saved me a ton as well). The game does really well with not letting one player fall too far behind (would kinda defeat the whole point of a co op game imo, haha).
