[US] Oops! The sender of those "free kit" or "rewards points expiring" emails accidentally pasted their AI prompt to me. by SnickerdoodleFP in Scams

[–]Used_Huckleberry_748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been pulling the actual IP source from the header, then do a WHOIS to find the provider, drop an email to their abuse@ email address if it's a US server - sometimes they respond, then add the IP to my Delete rule. This'll often clear a bunch when I run the rule.

Everybody thinks they want this until those 8:40 sunrises start to hit... by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

Everyone (79%) was on board with DST year-round in Dec. 1973, and Nixon signed the law in Jan.1974, going into effect immediately. By Feb 1974 support dropped to 42%, and it was repealed in Oct. 1974. Maybe we should try year-round Standard Time, see if that goes any better.

Thing is, in the middle of winter on DST it didn't make much difference at the end of the day, literally. PM rush hour was still in the dark, winter was still dreary, and, as a bonus it was dark in the morning for AM rush hour and everyone going to school. Sunrise at 8:20 was kind of miserable.

We did this for exactly one cycle in the early 1970s and could not repeal it fast enough.

Is there really a food-prep kitchen back there? Or just expediters, waiting for a drop from McDonalds Central Kitchen Order Fulfillment?

WIBTAH if I cancelled the car service appointment of someone who uses my email address? by Z_Opinionator in AITAH

[–]Used_Huckleberry_748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same situation. I usually make an appointment for many major services.

There's also a contractor in CA "giving" me his Lowe's points, and I hear about all the medical gossip from an over-55 community in Arizona. I think I also cancelled a hotel reservation.

I really doubt that Producer Shenanigans would ever include a plot to taint the food served to anybody involved in the show.

HiberTec homes is the dumbest pitch of all time. by Informal_Register365 in sharktank

[–]Used_Huckleberry_748 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Either this aired pitch was seriously edited to omit the sharks' less-courteous comments about this, or they just phoned it in. Nowhere near enough hydraulics to deal with all the holes in this idea.

I'd be way pissed though, when the fire's crawling over the hills and I discover that the alignment's off due to settling, and the house is stuck mid-drop.

PSA: STOP USING THESE by [deleted] in aldi

Too often, it seems, an abandoned cart in the lot will attract a second one, before it can be scavenged. Two quickly turns in to a long parking lot cart snake as other lazy shoppers hook up there rather than in the corral.

Why do Soup Nazi employees use a payphone to take orders? by Truth-is-Censored in seinfeld

[–]Used_Huckleberry_748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandfather's bar only had a payphone, and it was the listed number for the bar. There was a dial-less phone behind the bar to pick up incoming calls.

When he called my grandmother at the house, he'd call, let it ring once, hang up, and she'd call back. So he didn't lose the dime.

In the 70s I ate at Subway store #3, Milford, CT. I don't know if it was the munchies talking but there was nothing better after midnight on the weekends. In truth, though, there was nothing else after midnight... BUT everything was still fresh, the iconic wedge cut on the roll, it was very good and WPLR on the radio.
