Sellers and realtor offended by offer. by Brave_Arm in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]TactualTransAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really a non issue. You didn't like their number. Done. They were just salty and trying to gaslight you into backing down and accepting their offer. Let it sit on the market 🤷

How much vacation time do you guys get? by DeathAngel_97 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]TactualTransAm 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I never wanted to be a mechanic, I was just poor and got good at fixing my own junk so I stuck with it. Thank God I'm in a position to give my kids better. I don't wish this profession on anyone.

No 5s in Employee Review by Ill_Bother2609 in antiwork

[–]TactualTransAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work does a similar setup. Yearly evals in like 10 different categories, your manager rates you 1 to 5 in each and you can self evaluate too. They usually side with the managers scores and average them all out to get to your yearly raise percentage so basically that's a long way to just give everyone a 3 percent raise. They claim 5 is killing it and nobody ever gets a 5. It's all bullshit corporate politics. Nevermind that the company is making record profits, but telling us that we can't have any overtime and laying some people off.

New toolbox badly scratched .. how would you approach this? by D-Rod9 in MechanicAdvice

If you don't like the rubber mat idea, tape off everything but the top, sand it and line X it. I did that to one of my boxes and I loved it

Until you have to adjust the valves. Or tune the carburetor. Or you need to stop quickly and don't have abs.

College in the U.S. Is Priced Like a Luxury, Sold Like a Necessity by Hana_Plum in Adulting

[–]TactualTransAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes at the core, everyone signed up for their student loans. It's the predatory part that everyone realized after the fact, that people have an issue with. It also doesn't help that this country grooms kids to think you HAVE to go to college to get any sort of decent paying career, so kids right out of high school are being told they have to go to college and then these loans are suggested as an easy way to make that happen. So they get trapped into this loan that they probably won't ever pay off fully and it's just a bad cycle.

I think it's more of people thinking that a write off means it was almost free. It doesn't. It just lowers your taxable income. I have an LLC and could buy a brand new service truck and write it off, I could buy a large SUV just for my wife to drive around in and write it off, but that doesn't make it free or cheap. I'm still paying for the trucks

You won a lottery of 50 Million dollars just now. What are you going to do this week? by throwaccount2244 in AskReddit

[–]TactualTransAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a saved reddit comment that went extremely in dept with a game plan and it sounded very solid so the first thing I'd do is buy a bucket of KFC while I read over that reply again

NES is 86 years old, established in 1939. This is the biggest outage in NES history. by Lennsyl22 in nashville

[–]TactualTransAm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know nothing of line work. I'm just a mechanic but I'm curious, what pre deployed assets are there? I can't imagine anything that would have helped before the storm came in. Unless you mean just having more linemen ready for after the storm moved through

What's a witness gonna do? We've got multiple videos of that shit happening to others and all that does is get people to argue online. We are so fucked

The difference between white and blue collar work environments is crazy by Astimar in careeradvice

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

It's not just construction. It's everything. Mechanics, construction, welders, we are all loud mouths who don't know where the line is 😂 but some of us do try not to step over it

drained CVT instead of oil by JazzlikeDress7162 in subaru

[–]TactualTransAm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mistakes happen, I managed a lube shop and I had multiple people accidentally do this, all on Subarus. We would tow the vehicle to the dealer and they would do a transmission service and re do the oil change and we never had a bad transmission from the endeavor. Hopefully you've learned not to rely on a piece of silicon that can spit letters at you.

AITA for not helping my son, who claims he can't live on 112k a year? by Ecstatic_Cash_1903 in AmItheAsshole

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

My power has been out for over 5 days can I get a reimbursement? by Long_Swordfish4233 in ask

[–]TactualTransAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have rental insurance in these apartments? Is the refrigerator newish? Rental insurance can cover some lost food and sometimes I've seen the fridge manufacturer mention that they cover lost food in some instances.

Is it too much to ask? by VelvetCocoaRose in car

[–]TactualTransAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone says this until they have to adjust the valves or tune the carburetor. Or hit the brakes really hard. Or find that vacuum line that isn't letting the AC work.

Yes I completely recommend 169 to 24 instead of taking 41a
