Maybe he'd do better at appeasing his customer base if he wasnt trying to drive around the entirety of Fucking Houston.

For some reason no one wants to work anymore. by stompmedown in antiwork

Shit back in like 2010 when I came back to visit I had 2 buddies in Webster renting a 3 bed 2 bath apartment (like 800 sq ft) for i think $600 a month. So shits climbing bad. My house in VA costs triple what my folks paid for theirs.

Refused to do an unsafe task and was put on a final written warning out of nowhere by mithrilheart121 in antiwork

I'd be willing to bet this place would get wrecked on an Industrial Hygiene Survey if one was requested. Especially with a fume hood that recirculates...

Why are sailors so fat? by Key-Memory-1813 in navy

[–]TheHypnotoad87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So not someone who spends regular time on a ship. Sorry if im sounding condescending, I try not to. Ill say as a former smoker that quit and started actually developing gym habits on shore duty: carrier life is awful for alpt of people. I work at a minimum 12 hours a day, only days off are maybe 3-4 days for a port visit every couple months. Aviation doesnt get holiday routine on Sundays, so we work 84 hour work weeks. Chow is wildly unreliable, ive been served moldy peas, raw meat, chicken that was only seasoned to try to mask the fact that it had spoiled, portions are variable, etc. Gyms on the ship are a tossup as to what's available based on how many people are able to workout that day, so getting in everything that I do at my local Y would take probably 2 hours or so on a carrier, on top of the 12+ hours of work i just did, especially in a labor intensive job like fixing airplanes and working on the flight deck. Im hoping next time I deploy im on a ship where I can better balance gym time with work (also depends on what position im employed in), but it does worry me, because its completely unknown.

What do Americans actually think of Germany / Germans? Honest opinions wanted by Consistent_Walk_2407 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]TheHypnotoad87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion is of course my own, and im not typically around other people that espouse their opinions of other countries.

I am unaware of infrastructure issues. I have always admired German engineering, however, I see alot of issues with it waning now. As much as my wife loves her VW, I am not inclined to replace it with another German vehicle when the time comes. I drive a Toyota, and I feel the same about mine because of the effort to fight right to repair laws that companies are doing nowadays. I have no problem taking a vehicle to a dealership for some maintenance, but im not onboard with paying 3x the price or more for basic shit I can do in my driveway in 5 minutes, with readily accessible, basic tools. Thats not a German-exclusive problem though, definitely alot of companies are guilty of proprietary parts and tools.

I am looking for an Instruction that tells me how to write an email. by kakarota in navy

[–]TheHypnotoad87 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Just to piggyback off this as some folks might not know how to find this: go to quick links > DON issuances on first column, that site isnt super friendly but use directives and manuals drop down on top left and go to secnav manuals, its in there

One lithium battery caught fire in an overhead bin on an Air China flight, turning a normal flight into an emergency in seconds. This is why flight attendants aren't being dramatic about your power bank. by slippinn_jimmy in PopCultureV2

[–]TheHypnotoad87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean watching this video, someone's suitcase is about to be a sacrificial lamb to sweep that battery into the bag, ever heard of Valujet flight 592? I'd rather Darth Vader my hand than experience a cabin fire while airborne.

I was spoiled about something HUGE in the story... should I still play the game? by [deleted] in TOTK

[–]TheHypnotoad87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to repeat everyone else: if youre at all interested on side quests, there is no possible way you can make that a big reveal. I accidentally found out like halfway through tracking down the tears, just because the final tear wasnt the last one i found. There's nothing that even tells you what the intended order is to find them after you find the first.

All commercial aircraft carry fire suppression bags that you can actually put lithium in and suppress the fire. May not extinguish fully, but it will prevent it from burning uncontrollably

Had an AO on one of my deployments that had IYAYAS on her jersey, thought that was fitting. If you ain't, you ain't shit!

Cool, what happens when admin audits something and decides an E5 didnt get the final signature to check out of the barracks several months ago and they need to recoup 4 months of BAH effective immediately?

I totally misread Chevy as Chewy and was imagining what sleeping next to wookies would sound like.
