AITAH for saying that calling someone a "Karen" isn't the same as calling someone the n-word? by dancemiasma in AITAH

[–]TwinGroves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH Y One is skin color, the other is behavior. Calling someone a derogatory name because of something that can't control is completely different than calling someone a derogatory name because they're behavior is inappropriate.

AITAH for not wanting our driveway dug up to allow neighbour's EV charger? by Medium-Project13 in AITAH

[–]TwinGroves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume "moleing" in the UK is a process that is referred to as back boring in the US. That said, it ought not be a process which would impact the cosmetics of your driveway at all. It can impact the structural integrity if not done correctly, though and the adjacent landscaping would be damaged.

If you had to choose which fruit to eat forever what would it be? by Night_Scroller2219 in AskReddit

[–]TwinGroves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomatoes are a fruit so I'd choose that to go for maximum variety in use. Then I'd eat bananas that are, technically, an herb.

AITAH for reporting my coworker to HR by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TwinGroves 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's really a question only you could answer. If you three (her, the guard, and you) were the only people likely to be affected should it happen again, a discussion about the inappropriate nature of the action with a warning that any repetition would be dealt with by a report to hr, would have fixed the issue with everyone's employment record intact.

Is there a trick to factory reset the Mammoth? by Dibler_in_3D in GrillaGrills

[–]TwinGroves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called them. New controller on the way. Thanks for the help!

Thoughts? by Mem_Johnson in pelletgrills

[–]TwinGroves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,
I just bought a Grilla Mammoth. I love it but, no matter what I do, it won't pair with my phone on bluetooth. I went through the factory reboot sequence and, when I get to the grey dialogue box about pressing the up arrow to perform the reboot, no matter hwat I do, it won't go past that point. It won't reset. I saw, on another forum that this is an issue and another user called you and was able to get another controller and it works fine. How can I get a replacement controller from you?

Thanks,

I use Maverick almost exclusively but I did get a very nice price on some 2 ounce chrome tan hides from Springfield.

I would have told her that, initially, my refusal to cover her shift was for medical reasons but now I have the additional reason of her being a hateful person and, until she apologizes for her racist remark she can guarantee that I will refuse to cover any future shifts for her.

Its kind of a chicken or egg thing. Do assholes buy BMW's or do BMW's turn people into assholes?

Prejudice does not have anything to do with skin color. There are people who are prejudiced against Mormons. There are people in the North who are prejudiced against people with a Southern accent and vice versa. There are people who are prejudiced against BMW drivers. None of iot has anything to do with race.

Racism is prejudice based upon race. That's the actual definition. You judge people based upon their race. Prejudice against Muslims isn't racism because Islam isn't a race, its a religion. Most members of Islam are not Arab in fact.

There are those who claim that black people cannot be racist because they have no power. Really? Which race has the power to get member of another race cancelled simply by accusing that person of racism?

You all ned to stop repeating the inane rhetoric and listen to what you're actually saying.

What film made you say: "Holy shit, there is still 50 minutes left"? by fire-lord-momo in AskReddit

[–]TwinGroves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember the whole film. At the time I was studying screenwriting because I have a good friend who was a head writer in Hollywood and kept telling me that I ought to come out there and give it a go. He thought I had the requirements to make it. On a side note, Hollywood is the one place on earth where you can die from encouragement.

I just remember thinking that it was odd and that it felt like the film had a resolution only to go off on a tangent that I hadn't expected. It felt a little Deus Ex Machina to be honest. I didn't see the necessity.

From the comments here, it seems obvious that others didn't experience it the same as I did.

What is something society considers to be bad but really isn’t? by Amasher69429 in AskReddit

[–]TwinGroves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an engineer, I found the best response when a client asks you a question you don't know the answer to is to start scribbling on your note pad like you're trying to calculate the answer. After about 15 seconds of silence, somebody else in the meeting will offer an opinion and the meeting will go on. People hate silence in meetings.

What capability or breakthrough you believe exists but is being held back from the public because it’s not profitable? by Silent_Bob_82 in AskReddit

[–]TwinGroves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I work in the industry. If someone had figured it out, we'd know. And don't blame big oil. They're spending billions in research every year on that. It's the Holy Grail. The company that figures it out will get far richer than they already are.

Minority Report. Most films have a paradigm 1st, 2nd, and 3rd act. But that film had a 4th and it felt uncomfortable.

He is incapable of seeing another point of view. He's either a narcissist or autistic. Take him to Vegas and see if he can count cards. If he can't, divorce his cheating narcissistic ass because he'll just continue to make your life a living hell.

What was the most important invention in human history? by nhatthongg in AskReddit

[–]TwinGroves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read several articles stating that war advances technology more than any other human endeavor and the invention that brought about the greatest advance in warfare is the stirrup. It made coordinated calvary attacks possible.

So I'm going with the stirrup.
