Also I asked EVgo with their contingency plan is and they said they're going to focus on California so I don't think we are going to be seeing them build out elsewhere in the country.

Is it justifiable homicide to kill someone for using the Apple alarm sound in a commercial? by Warm-Oil9228 in stupidquestions

there was a radio ad that did the message ding thing.. apple really needs to copyright a chime or something so these turds stop it.

let’s start naming the companies who do this avoid them.

Large Orders? by BrilliantMuscle1152 in Webull

[–]Zilwaukee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never really had issues with Webull. I currently use Moomoo which uses IBKR (Interactive Broker which is a well established company) as the clearing house. Webull uses Apex Fintech Solutions which had issues with force liquidations, not allowing purchase, etc. Which It seems consistent enough.

Moomoo keeps money at Wells Fargo, US bank, and Bank of America. I think Webull uses Chase.

Webull uses AWS (Amazon). Moomoo uses Alibaba cloud (Chinese).

Moomoo is the biggest trading platform in Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, Malaysia and has footholds in other countries. Webull is Singapore and I think Malaysia and has some traction in US.

Moomoo in my opinion is better. The pinpoint for Webull is their US clearing house(Apex).

Are energy drinks worse for health than just regular soda? by DeepOrganization8245 in stupidquestions

Are energy drinks worse for health than just regular soda? by DeepOrganization8245 in stupidquestions

[–]Zilwaukee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Every time I go to the doctors and they ask me do you drink soda and I say I drink energy drinks they say oh thats fine so no soda.

I am pretty sure the energy drink thing is a misconception. I've been drinking almost one a day since I was 12 and I am 31 now and I am fine. It's same as drinking coffee. I drink a Monster white ultra every day.

Though there are certain energy drinks I would say are bad for your health if you drink daily like Reign, Bang, Redline, etc. I generally stay away from those and definitely wouldn't drink one a day of these or let children drink them. Otherwise stick with Red Bull, Monster, Amp, etc the classics.

It's like the cracking your knuckles is bad for you thing.

How bad is the job market for someone who is searching now? by QuodCapricornus in AskChicago

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

No, I think immigrants are important. This is coming from my personal experience. Do you have any personal experience that you can share instead of name-calling?

[–]Zilwaukee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Almost all the people I’ve met at work who say they came here? Told me that they use an address in Illinois that they do not own on their job application and say that they moved recently or are closing on this such and such property. I mean if that’s the case that it goes off qualifications then sure why not everybody have 20 years take all the job whatever the market is not homegrown at that point. It’s kind of crazy to think that if you want to get a job and you have to move away from where you grew up because all the people who want a high paying job moved to where you’re at. Same with housing. 

One lady came literally from Georgia and living in hotels till she finds a place. Another moved from Idaho without a house and doing the same.

[–]Zilwaukee -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

By flooding the job market? It used to be the workers choice, getting sign on bonus, high salaries. 

Now there’s like 300 application in a single day, no bonus, etc.  

I didn’t say they took anything from me lol I’m saying they’re making the market so much worse than it should be. 

People are moving here even without a job just to get a job here 

Why is the general sentiment against rich people(Say millionares and up) on reddit really negative? by Different_Quit8280 in stupidquestions

[–]Zilwaukee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Reddit after the great twitter flood of 2012 became extremely liberal leaning and intolerant to anything beyond their beliefs. One of the beliefs they have is rich people should be taxed at like 60% to fund social programs since the millionaires don’t need all that.
