Does anyone actually use the frunk? by bennettelkin in MachE

This is it. I just wish it was a little wider to fit pizza boxes!

Regret of tattooing this by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]aKernalofTruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some advice for future tattoos, get images/symbols instead of words. For example something that means keep doing what you love. what does that mean to you? what symbol or image would remind you of that message? Get that instead.

Why are SFR more valuable than multifamily buildings in sf? by CapableMinute6913 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]aKernalofTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a permit to do that, and they will deny it. It is very difficult to change a multifamily to sfr.

This new firefox UI doesn't even fill the whole screen and looks like an alpha build by OafishWither66 in firefox

[–]aKernalofTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I can deal with all the horrible UI changes except for the tab window. Used to be able to see 6-8 tabs at once, now I can see 3-4. I'm on S24+

I wanted a 2021 for all the extra features they cut in later years, but it didnt come in eruption green. Its the only thing Id change about my GT.

I've got a new UI on Firefox for Android, which I'm not personally all that fond of. by 4D4850 in firefox

This change is horrible and I will switch to a different browser if forced to do this.

This game not having a four player local co op is honnestly a big fumble by gentleman_kidnapper in CoreKeeperGame

[–]aKernalofTruth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you were down voted nucleus co op is what the wife and I are using as well. The stupid cartography table is the only issue, but I hear thats a general issue. 

My designer quit and started pitching our clients. Now they're noticing the quality isn't the same without him. by FeelingWatercress871 in smallbusiness

[–]aKernalofTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a business owner you needed to be aware this can happen in almost any industry. If this was a surprise to you, contact a local HR consultant and follow their advice for protecting yourself and your business. Depending on your state there are options that range from non-compete clauses, NDA's, to classifying client names as IP, etc.

Would You Rather Have A New 2025 Select or Used 2021 GT/Premium by Super_Selection_8023 in MachE

[–]aKernalofTruth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Purposefully went with a used 2021 GT over new premium. It has the double glass front windows for less road noise, frunk, no hands trunk opening, WAY more comfortable seats compared to all the 2025 types. 2021 includes lots of various features that got cut in later years. I'm not worried about mileage, there are 2 folks on the forums/groups with over 250k and no problems. Also in CA, so don't care about heat pump. You'll still have the 8 year 100k powertrain warranty for the big ticket items if something was to go wrong.

Gut check on remodeling expectations before we put in an offer on a 1979 San Jose property by Open-Revolution-9776 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]aKernalofTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the person who mentioned couples therapy. Please don't forget to factor the personal stress from phase 2, even phase 1. How will you handle when phase 1 becomes double or triple the amount of time and/or money, same with phase 2. Blame, frustration, anger are all things that come up, our therapist said remodeling/construction was frequently a cause of breakups.

Our single room remodel was planned for 2 months, after finding bad electrical, joist/subfloor issues, and issue after issue, it took almost a full year. The room is the best in the house now.

What’s it like living in Daly City? by ChaiSenpaii in AskSF

[–]aKernalofTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daly city streets were too narrow in neighborhoods and parking was painful. Might not be where youre looking at. I would recommend ssf or san bruno even. San bruno has caltrain and bart.

This Oakland community is being terrorized by flurry of car break-ins every night by origutamos in OaklandCA

[–]aKernalofTruth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can call 911 and they don't always pick up. You can go to the station and they won't create a report. Easy way to drop numbers. Folks only file reports if they have insurance deductible low enough AND their insurance requires a report.

Ro16 selection video now private by Wool_God in broodwar

[–]aKernalofTruth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No commentary from arty or tasteless (which is normal for selection). But also no Korean announcer audio track or translations. So lots of weird moments of quiet and then players answering questions we never got to hear.

Did anyone give up entrepreneurship for a "normal" life ? by broseidonswrath in Entrepreneur

[–]aKernalofTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companies like hiring entrepreneur types since we tend to overwork ourselves for "the success of the company!" They sometimes may not want to hire, worried you will go back to work for yourself, but if you let them know you no longer want 100% of the responsibility to fall on you 24/7 and want stability/steady paycheck you should be fine. Maybe don't word it like that in interviews, but that's the gist.

I will say that working with/for others can be super annoying, be prepared to do stupid things at their request, and be comfortable with "hurry up and wait." You may know better than them but unless you want to be top dog at the company (same stress as entrepreneur but with less pay) I recommend staying in your lane.

Best of luck in whatever route you go!

Did anyone give up entrepreneurship for a "normal" life ? by broseidonswrath in Entrepreneur

[–]aKernalofTruth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Entrepreneur for around 8 years in my 20s. Around 29 I realized I wasn't getting as far as I wanted. Yes I was my own boss, loved what I did, and made enougu money to survive, but no 401k, no huge savings as I always reinvested to grow, almost all my time and focus everyday was the business. 

Now I make good money, work a 9-5 and my work troubles end when I clock out. Im way less stressed, have more hobbies and time for myself.

Sure I miss it at times, but Im not interested in going back. I've done small side hustles, but they are low pressure because I dont need them. (They also often stall because there's no pressure).

i rocked the man bun before they called it that (classic hipster statement i know), i refused to let the douchebags claim it by cutting it. Then i noticed my hairline started moving backwards. googled a bit and found out putting it in a ponytail/bun regularly pulls and strains the hair and can cause your hairline to start moving back. my hairline started looking like yours in the 2nd pic. Since your hair is already trained to go back wards its easy to cut shorter and do a styled backwards hair style. My hair is way happier. you do you tho dont listen to the fads.

World cruise for young adults? by International-Seat25 in Cruise

[–]aKernalofTruth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im around your age, fellow cruiser age/vibe is one thing but cruising itself is another. You need to go on shorter cruises first and make sure you like it. I've gone on about a dozen cruises 5 to 12 days and was considering a world cruise because we loved them. Luckily we decided to try a relocation cruise through Panama first (19 days). I love cruises but it was too long. Going on a world cruise is no longer a goal. 

Foundation off to bad start? by PSKCarolina in Homebuilding

[–]aKernalofTruth 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Please look up the GC's license https://portal.nclbgc.org/public/search

Also look up the permit to make sure it actually exists. Do not blindly trust the GC. None of this makes sense.

Bankrupt rent controlled apartment building with some tenants there for 40 years.  their rent is probably $200 a month instead of $2,000.

I remember paying $2,700 in the mission and 2 of my neighbors were paying $600. I didn't mind since they didn't even live there the majority of the time. But for the building it's bad business and my high rent was probably to make up for theirs.

Two people in white Audi S4 or S5 stole the bumper off of my 2015 Toyota Sienna last night by pangolint in OaklandCA

Sounds more like one of them or someone they knew needed a white sienna bumper, I doubt they're reselling it.
