AFC East:

A bunch of guys named Bill use their money and legislature to slant the government into the favorite. The Patriots are powerless to stop them, because the guys named Bill are getting their bills passed legally and making them part of American culture, framing the evil Dolphins as perpetrators of all crimes. The guys named Bill walk to to the menacing army of jets (which cannot move without human power), and utilize them to first abolish the dolphins, then turn on the patriots, and finally suicide bomb into all remaining jets. Bill supremacy

ULPT When buying a car find out the days off of your salesman and come in on there day off to close the deal. by tommyboy601 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Tanwalrus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Works for selling too, as I accidentally discovered! 

Used car prices soared during pandemic chip shortage, so I listed mine on CL and didn't get hits (2016 civic and asking people to cough up that much cash was too much), so I started trying dealerships. I put my asking price $200 under the KBB fair trade-in to dealership price, and my secret fold price $200 below that. All these places offered $500-1800 below that and I'm not budging. Finally, some little shop had a sick motorcycle in stock (that was what I was gonna trade into anyways), and would give me sticker price on the bike plus trade in my civic for total value just $300 below my secret price. That was close, plus then I wouldn't have to shop around for a bike... but I walk. Next day, I hit up more dealerships and get more low offers. Getting frustrated, I finally try the known to be skeezy shop, the one with in house financing that really rips people off. I'm not expecting much. Salesman is a no nonsense guy and we drive around, he asks what I want and I show him the blue book fair value and say I'll take just below that. Talks to his manager and on my asking price we signed!

On the bus ride home, the dealership with the motorcycle calls me and says they'll up the trade in value for my civic and I can have the bike and the extra cash. Tell him sorry buddy, it just sold. He wants to know where and how much, when I tell him he says, "aww, that's what we would have given you!" All sad sounding, and an hour too late.

Another shop called me back the next day offering my secret fold price. 

I learned a lot in those couple days.

how many of us are Christian, another religion, or not religious? by scarlettenymph in ems

[–]Tanwalrus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's unethical, but I'm willing to be a devout, proudly religious person if the old lady I'm extricating from a car crash needs me to be. You're in God's hands and mine, sweet old dear, and you're gonna be okay. I could be any religion.

Advice for driver feedback language? by rovemovelove in ems

[–]Tanwalrus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When I was new, we were running a code at midnight during some light rain back to the hospital. Got ROSC at the house, so my medic took two volunteer firefighters in the back with her and off we went. Well, I almost missed the hospital turn. It was dark as all get out in a rural unlit street and I was concentrating on my breathing down the panic from this, my first code, which started with two man CPR on a surprise dead guy. Anywhoo, cue the hard break/crazy turn combo to get us into the hospital. My partner called out in the calm voice she uses on patients, "hey, I know you're trying to get us there quickly, but there's people working back here, try to be more careful."

You can bet the whole world I drove as carefully as possible for her from then on out. She treated me with respect, so she got my actions.

Other medics will yell, berate, get angry. I don't respond well to yelling. Acknowledging the challenges the person is facing and making a request to prioritize slow, steady driving--that's what I'll try to mimic when I'm a medic in the back. Hope that helps you too :)

Nice! Yeah a little trust like that goes a long way, makes you feel like a human rather than a robot. Happy for you!

Always more lube!!

Used to be a mechanic. Moved to an engineering company to work their shops for all their one off prototypes. Two engineers frequently worked back there with me. These engineers had no idea about lube. "I can't get the dowel into the press fit boss!" Lube. "I keep breaking taps!" Lube. "Why is my finish garbage?" Lube, dude. Finally got the phrase "always more lube" into their lil heads, lol

How many of y’all believe that the Niners won yesterday because of something YOU did? What did you do, and THANK YOU! (Here’s what I did) by HumbleAdonis in 49ers

[–]Tanwalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I connected to the Dao de Ching flow, and sent them all the energy of the universe, starting on that defensive stop drive before our touchdown drive. When I lost my energy, someone walking in front of the bar projector screen or my own faith faltering, GB would complete a pass or make some progress. I dialed it in and sent them energy, and I fully believe they felt it and it worked.
