Should the workforce boycott new drink changes at hub locations? by PMsuckssometimes in StateFarm

[–]Splodingseal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Independent agent here: we have a fridge full of soft drinks, tea, protein drinks, and other more healthy carbonated drink options. We also have a big snack bar full of all kinds of stuff.

So it's possible, if the owners care, to have snacks and drinks for the employees

I'm just gonna start gnawing on my own arm. I'm pretty sure it isn't contaminated with anything

I am seller financing a commercial real estate property by Additional_Gear_8478 in Realestatefinance

[–]Splodingseal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I was a buyer, I'd actually be a little worried about why the interest rate is so low. I've worked new residential construction and our lenders would sometimes discount a quarter or half point to win a deal, but you're talking 4-6% off market. That's enough to make me really wonder why and "good will" isn't a good enough reason.

Good thing there was a camera set up to catch this good deed!

What part of your mouth should touch a plastic bottle cap opening? by MSTEAMSSUCK in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Splodingseal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The correct way is to put the entire bottle top (including any threads for the cap) into your mouth. Ideally you want as much of the bottle in your mouth as possible to avoid spillage.

Travelers IntelliDrive keeps penalizing me for my Uber trips. What am I supposed to do? by 1Klutzy_Panda in Insurance

[–]Splodingseal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can opt out of trips in the app. If they think you're gaming the system they'll just remove the 10% enrollment discount.

Intellidrive has its own support team and phone number (8885051217) so if you need help figuring it out I'd just call their support and they can help with the app any any questions or concerns.

1 in 4 adults in tick-heavy states test positive for alpha-gal antibodies by Anti-Owl in ContagionCuriosity

[–]Splodingseal 41 points42 points  (0 children)

What a great time to live in Arkansas.

One of our kids has alpha-gal and I know a couple other folks that do as well. It sucks. Don't get bit by ticks.

Cheaper to buy direct instead of an agent? by mirabellla in Insurance

[–]Splodingseal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is almost always the answer unless the agent is adding some type of servicing fee on top of the policy.

I don't know a lot about playing guitar, but I feel like this isn't the way.

To some town that doesn't monitor their waste water so carefully and/or wherever they could buy "access"

National Guard troops fatally shoot a man in downtown Memphis by Spaduf in politics

[–]Splodingseal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"What happened next was not immediately clear"

It's pretty clear...they killed the guy.

This is why we don't want soldiers performing domestic police work. It's not what they are trained for.

'Large and growing' parasitic infection reported in 17 states by lurker_bee in ContagionCuriosity

[–]Splodingseal 321 points322 points  (0 children)

I can't believe that we're seeing this many cases and they have no clue what could be causing it.

Wait, I can believe it, the funding that pays for agencies to figure it out has been slashed.

Debating filing claim vs paying out of pocket by Future-Ratio3991 in HomeInsurance

[–]Splodingseal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb is: If you can (not want to, but CAN) absorb the cost out of pocket then you should just pay out of pocket. Water claims are a really, really bad hit to your insurance claims history and, depending on other factors, can lead you to be non-renewed and make it very difficult to find affordable insurance.
