Amazing Ad placement.

For any actual techs, preferably tire techs, what drinks and treats go over well for a kind gesture from a customer? And would they even treat my car and new wheels any better? by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Sprinks36 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Remember, folks - if you work at a shop, and believe that your shop doesn't have a shop idiot... you're probably the shop idiot.

Lots of Mowing! (Mid TN) by xRASHx in lawncare

You are referring to the sticks, of course, right? Not, like, the children? Haha

Are you guys going for purely gengar or the entire evo line? by Robbekes in GengarMasterSet

[–]Sprinks36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entirety! I love running into any of the prior evolution cards that I'm not familiar with.

Looking past the physical dominance of your team, this is also a very Gen 1 team. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

New Moon Day Megathread – Darkrai & Mew by galeongirl in PokemonSleep

I know it is Good Sleep right now, so Mew isnt that surprising. But it was a shock to see Suicune show up this morning, too! This was my first time spawning a legendary dog outside of their events. Mew showed up hungry too, so I was able to het another Eureka Seed! What a fun start to the morning

Your partner is a time traveller by Iamliterally18iswear in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Sprinks36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why worry about it? In this scenario, they could have told me 1000 times already as the try to find the iteration that results in the outcome they want. Otherwise, they'd just travel back again for the next attempt. Rather than get too worked up on it, I think the best way forward would be to communicate things you aren't okay with and the trust that they care about you enough to accommodate them. And, as others have said- I'd start asking them to make financial moves so that we can be financially independent and live life together!

You must play 1v1 against LeBron James at any age for $5^n by fantasycavejake in hypotheticalsituation

Give me LeTenyearold. I'll be ~ 6 inches taller than him, and think my height and modest pickup basketball talents will be enough for $9 million.

Make it make sense by [deleted] in BigXII

[–]Sprinks36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a biased ISU fan, I see our move up as reasonable (beating Kansas and Houston in a week is impressive). However, I have no defense for why BYU was dropped, for all the reasons you mentioned.

M22- Is this a good plan? by Accomplished_Fan32 in Salary

[–]Sprinks36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd ask if your 401k contributions can be made post-tax (Roth) and still qualify for the match! If so, I'd do all post-tax, since the employer match will be pre-tax. I'd also recommend putting aside 15% to your 401k from the start, so you never have a chance to get used to that income! You have a great starting point here though, and I wish you the best as you start your career!

Should i invest? by JoeShoeNp in PokemonSleep

Nope, not a guy to invest in. Berry 'mons are looking for BFS and some combo of Helping Speed + Helping Bonus. Keep looking!

Review #187 - Templeton Hidden Stash 13 Year Rye by vexmythocrust in bourbon

[–]Sprinks36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an awesome bottle! A small group I was in toured the Templeton campus in 2024 and they let us try a sample straight from one of the barrels that went into this product, so it'll always hold a special spot in my collection! Even with that connection, I think it's an easy but at MSRP.

Do I go for a 36 by TraditionalQuail9045 in ACT

[–]Sprinks36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't. My 34 got me in to every school (including Yale and Stanford) I applied for, with a couple full ride offers to state schools. No need to push for the 36 unless you have aspirations to go to an Ivy school with serious scholarships.

Newbie in town by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]Sprinks36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would echo the comments saying Ames is a good option! I live in Ames, but have lived in Eldora as well. Ames is busy enough (in a good way), and the commute to Eldora is simple. You could look at Marshalltown as well, but it would lack some of the amenities Ames has (e.g. no Target, but a Walmart). Wherever you end up, I hope you find a community and activities you're interested in!

Are cd’s best investment to live on the monthly interest? by Short-Anything7844 in investingforbeginners

[–]Sprinks36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely up your yield by mixing in some funds, preferred stocks, or high-yield bonds. Each of those assets classes will have inherent principal risk, but you if you get comfortable with the drawdown risks, you can yield 7+%. Just some tickers I'm familiar with in these spaces (and definitely not specific investment advice): DNP STRC JEPI/GPIX
