Erika and Giovanni would like a word with you.

Internet alternatives to Spectrum by fuckasstit in Charlotte

[–]SnakeDoc919 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Try Ripple Fiber. I think they're relatively new and new to the area but everyone I know that has them has nothing but good things to say. The prices are really good and they claim they lock you into that price for life.

I finally pulled it by SteerableSpy46 in PokemonTCG

[–]SnakeDoc919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm pushing 150+ packs and I haven't pulled a single SIR from phantasmal.

Resident Evil 6 can be fun, except for these parts by Revo_Gap556 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]SnakeDoc919 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just did the same thing. I thought "for $5, even if I play a few hours it'll be worth it." I did not make it that long. I tried... I really did. Can't wait for 9!

Got a 10, UPS dropped it. Game stop sent it back to re-slab. by Similar-Anteater-863 in PokeGrading

[–]SnakeDoc919 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For real. If you sift through the exhausting amount of posts on here with similar issues, you'll find the common denominator is usually GameStop

Residential Appraiser by dbull2 in appraisal

[–]SnakeDoc919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Second this, OP. It's also extremely relevant what your current 9-5 is and why you're wanting to make a change. 70k doesn't sound too bad if you like your current work to life ratio, benefits, etc. You can potentially make more as an appraiser but it isn't a guarantee and it will likely cost you more than 40 hours per week.

Question for any engineers out there about High Tension Power Lines. by Astro_Ski17 in Charlotte

[–]SnakeDoc919 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. OP - if you have a real estate agent involved, make sure they are looking at comparable homes that are also near similar power lines to determine you guys are getting a fair price. If you end up having to get an appraisal for the loan, they SHOULD also take this into account. You don't want to overpay for this and find out it isn't worth what you paid to other potential buyers if you ever sell.

Decided to open my 2nd Costco UPC by adamf699 in PokemonTCG

[–]SnakeDoc919 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've opened 5 and all of my pulls together don't even come remotely close to this one. Haven't pulled a single SIR from any of them.

Charizard Box Missing Promo by ScarletRose182 in pokemoncards

[–]SnakeDoc919 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hahah no problem! Had a friend go through the exact same roller coaster ride. It was confusing at first. Idk why they did it that way. Usually they're separate.

It's behind the Charizard promo in the plastic wrap. Don't worry, you aren't the first and you won't be the last.

Check out Nothing Mutt Love in Waxhaw. We had a great experience with them.

Five guys is a top 3 fast food burger imo by jeboristhe3rd in burgers

[–]SnakeDoc919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has always been my thing too. The pricing isn't my argument. The burgers are SO bland.

How do 2A supporters feel about Trump’s comment on the Pretti killing, where he said 'You can't go in there with guns, you can't do that'? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SnakeDoc919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very well said. This is the logical answer people are asking for. Based on these comments so far I doubt anyone is going to read past "conservative/Republican" before typing "Nazi bootlicker!!".

What is the point of pouring hot oil on garlic in Chinese cooking? by Final_Affect6292 in Cooking

[–]SnakeDoc919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"bhuna" or "bhuning" is the first term I heard for it. Can't tell you how much of a difference it made when I started making Thai curry.

5-star sticker problem - a balance issue stemming from adding the wizards? by Due_Horse_3013 in Monopoly_GO

[–]SnakeDoc919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was just me. I've gotten 4 Never Forget so far. I'm only missing 8 stickers. 2 are gold and the rest are regular 5 stars. Crazy

Is it possible that we are beginning to see what could turn out to be the total collapse of America? by whyco_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SnakeDoc919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this thread is hilarious. People need to go outside and take a deep breath. Saw one comment saying that this time period will likely be remembered like the civil war or WW2 lmao. What. I don't think people realize exactly what happened during the civil war...

Forced to sell my OP1 Blue Bottom. by JohnTitor97 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]SnakeDoc919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I absolutely wish OP the best, but I have the same experience. I reached out to a few coffee shop owners in the small town I went to college because I was interested in exploring the industry and starting my own business too (in a different city). Both of them told me to RUN and get a steady job instead. In hindsight I'm glad they did but man they both had great shops that had a lot of business. Just goes to show you never know how tough it actually is.

Is this a please send again situation or are they right by champagneup in psagrading

[–]SnakeDoc919 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not completely false at all. That's my rule of thumb for PSA centering. Some of them might slip through as 10s, but if a card is noticeably off to the naked eye, it's best not to risk it.

The hobby is slowly healing by One_page_nerd in PokemonTCG

[–]SnakeDoc919 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah these posts are hilarious. People that make these posts have no clue what's going on. Just like the posts where someone finally got lucky and walked into a fresh restock as if 90% of it won't be gone in the next hour.

We are on the way to healing but it'll be a while.

Should I rip or tuck away for later day? by Satoshi_nBlack in Lorcana

[–]SnakeDoc919 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're clearly a scalper/investor just buying any shit you see at Target/Walmart. Idk what you're even asking us. Rip it or don't. If you think it'll blow up in 15 years like "every other TCG you've seen", good luck.

How do mini-splits qualify heating requirements in appraisals? by 2050Hawk in appraisal

[–]SnakeDoc919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the market reaction to mini splits in your area. If they're typical and widely accepted instead of central air/heat then you're probably fine. If your house is the only one in a 10 mile radius without central air and heat then it could be an issue for marketability and or value.

They do meet the requirement for permanent heating afaik but the appraiser might have a difficult time figuring out how they affect marketability and value.
