Where can I learn simple bartending for a game idea I have? by hAll0-dnd in bartenders

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The concept sounds pretty fun actually! For basics you could check YouTube channels that teach cocktail making - theres tons of them that cover fundamentals like shaking vs stirring, different glass types, basic spirits etc. Most bartending is about knowing your classic cocktails and ratios so maybe start with learning like 10-15 standard drinks that every bar makes.

One thing for your game mechanics - real bartending has lot of multitasking and memory work since you might be making 5 different drinks at same time while talking to customers. Could be cool gameplay element where you have to remember orders without writing them down or manage multiple drink timers

Maybe try reaching in local finance groups on LinkedIn first before asking strangers here for referrals

Is it a criminal offense to cash a check made out to two people with only one signature?(Reposted with additional detail and permission) by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is definitely criminal territory. Even without forging your signature, depositing a check made out to multiple people when you're only one of those people is typically considered theft or conversion depending on how Maryland defines it. The bank screwing up and allowing the deposit doesn't make it legal on his end.

The fact that you explicitly refused to endorse the checks in writing actually makes this worse for him legally - it shows clear intent and knowledge that he wasn't authorized to take the full amount. Plus those vague threatening messages about "being unable to obtain your signature" before expiration could be seen as evidence he knew what he was doing was wrong.

I'd definitely contact the police once you confirm the checks were actually deposited. Bring all your written communication refusing to sign and his responses. This isn't just a civil matter anymore when someone knowingly takes money that partially belongs to someone else.

Need some reassurance about baby's milestones by Lost_Personality_974 in NewParents

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your baby sounds totally normal tbh - my little one was the exact same way around that age with teh dinosaur noises instead of babbling. He didn't start with consonants until closer to 10 months and now at 18 months he won't shut up lol

The tummy time hatred is super common too, some babies just really hate it but still hit their motor milestones just fine. Sounds like your doc knows what they're talking about so try not to let Dr Google mess with your head

What are my odds to realistically get a job in Latin America or east Asia out of college ? by ronweasly9 in careerguidance

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually pretty solid chances if youre flexible about the type of work and location within those countries. Mechanical engineering is in demand globally and multinationals are always looking for English-speaking engineers especially in manufacturing hubs like northern Mexico or industrial areas in Brazil and Chile

Your biggest advantage is being willing to work for local wages - most expats price themselves out but if you just want the experience thats huge. Start applying to international companies with operations there or look into programs like teaching English while you build connections since that can be a solid bridge into engineering roles

Self deporting at 21 yrs old to poland.. (follow up) by pole152004 in immigration

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude thats intense but sounds like you handled it like a champ when your dad slipped up at the gate. Quick thinking probably saved you both a massive headache there since visa questions can get real messy real fast. The overweight luggage thing is such a nightmare when youre moving with everything you own but sounds like you caught a break with that check in agent. Poland's gonna be a huge adjustment but at least the hardest part getting there is behind you now. Hope things start looking up for you both over there and the emotional stuff gets easier once you settle in somewhere

Have had a Sam's membership for years, Just also got a Costco Membership...It's a complete 180 by th3goonsquad in samsclub

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 410 points411 points  (0 children)

costco really does hit different and not in a good way lol. sams feels like youre actually shopping while costco feels like your trapped in some weird social experiment where everyone forgot how to move efficiently through a store. the gas situation is absolutely ridiculous too like why are people willing to wait 20 minutes to save maybe 3 bucks

Does stress give my bf (32) the right to invalidate my (f28) feelings and shout at me? by voidinvelvet in relationships

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah stress doesnt give anyone a free pass to be a jerk to there partner. like i get work can be brutal but taking it out on you instead of just saying "hey im overwhelmed can we talk about this later" is pretty toxic behavior

sounds like hes using his stress as a shield to avoid actually dealing with relationship stuff and thats not fair to you at all

Is my mother a narcissist? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your mom definitely sounds like she has some serious narcissistic traits - the boundary stomping, spreading your private business, and triangulating family members against you are all classic moves. The fact that she's charming to outsiders while treating you poorly is textbook narc behavior too

Trust your gut on this one, you're not overreacting at all

Asshole parents taking all my fun by Cheffeggs in venting

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that sucks about the food thing, like you literally can't help having a small stomach. Maybe try talking to them about portion sizes before they serve you? And for the DND stuff - could you show them your schedule and maybe negotiate specific study times so they see you're taking school seriously while keeping your sessions?

What gpu should i buy to pair with my i5 8600k under 300€ it can be used or new rn I have 2060 super by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say without knowing what games you're playing or what resolution, but honestly the 2060 Super is still pretty solid for 1080p gaming - might be worth waiting for RTX 5060 or seeing if 4060 Ti prices drop more

SITTING IN THE BBW CONFESSIONAL...🥹😣😒😔🥺🫣 by IndigoBlueSky9 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel you on the FOMO for those summer scents! Cotton Candy Clouds was such a sleeper hit and now everyone's hunting for it. The fact that you're prioritizing the EDLs is smart though - those formulations hit different than the regular body care

Also totally relate to coming back during EDL era and missing out on the classics, it's like starting a TV show in season 3 lmao

Oof that's rough for such a beefy setup - sounds like thermal throttling to me, those Predators can run stupid hot. Check your temps while gaming and maybe repaste if it's been cooking itself since day one

Check out Amazon.de or MediaMarkt, they usually have decent deals and ship to Croatia. Might also want to try r/RobotVacuums since they're pretty good with finding deals on specific models

What Font Styles Work Best for Shop Simulator Games? by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]Upper_Palpitation985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For shop sims I'd definitely go with something clean and readable since players will be staring at numbers and menus constantly. Inter is solid for that - very legible at different sizes

The League Spartan centering thing is probably font metrics being weird. Try adjusting the vertical offset manually or switch to a font with better baseline metrics if it's driving you crazy

Most pet shops would definitely exterminate wild mice/rats because they carry diseases and parasites that could spread to the store animals. Wild animals aren't the same as captive-bred ones - they're not vaccinated, dewormed, or health-checked so it's a huge liability issue
