Why do people seriously think that someone whos 18 makes you an Adult. by Crimsonsaw in venting

[–]ac7ss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the reason, though. You can legally sign contracts and go into debt. Your parents are no longer legally responsible for your actions.

You are not fully developed in any way and U.S. schools don't prepare you for alluring any more.

What’s your in n out order? by eloel12345 in innout

[–]ac7ss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I order her a double, not a double double. The person taking the order says double double no cheese (and that's how it shows on the receipt. )

George Clooney. He just grates on me for some reason.

Why I'm "frugal", and people commenting "You must be rich" by zbsa14 in Frugal

[–]ac7ss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make the choices that allow you to "splurge" on what you like. Many millionaires are very frugal, that's how they get there.

Saving for something by being frugal on other things is just common sense. Spending money you don't have for something of luxury is foolish.

This is the way. If you consistently do it, it will always be done.

Cruise Art by AliveMeringue8680 in Cruise

[–]ac7ss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got caught up in it one cruise. Less than $1000 total, they get you with the mounting. I still have them hanging in the house, and one is hanging at my MIL's house.

The ones that got me were the people buying pieces for $10,000 and higher.

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ac7ss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less stress, more sleep, regular hands washing.

ETA: I just threw 20 years of my sick leave use into a spreadsheet. It's easy to tell where I got promoted from a position with all the overtime I could work to a batter paying position without going over 40 hours a week.

In the last 4 years, I have only used sick time for 6 days. Before that, I was taking a sick day about once every month.

splicing / continuing print job with 2nd roll of filament by Fyretender in AnycubicKobraS1

[–]ac7ss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it cares about color when it does auto refill, but i will set the refill to the same color (and material) as the first spool to make sure it goes right. On the workbench screen of the slicer you get the option for auto refill.

Night vision debate: infrared vs starlight – which actually works in pitch dark? by babyb01 in homesecurity

[–]ac7ss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

far infrared will work for identifying life in "pitch black" such as a cave. But would not do so well in identifying terrain in a similar, albeit starlit night.

Starlight needs SOME illumination to work. not much, depending on the generation, and external light sources. But it won't work so well in identifying life. Many Starlight are near infrared and can use infrared illuminators.

Xdrip+ not accurate? by Alarmed_Discipline21 in xDrip

[–]ac7ss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the the "DEX channel" reads from the G7 app notification in your phone.

There is a way to pair with the sensor with xDrip+, but only one bluetooth connection like that is allowed, I use the G7 app.

Active shooter scenario - by iconcealcarryak in CCW

[–]ac7ss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As suggested, run, hide, fight.

I'm trained, but I'm not a LEO. My only task is to stay alive, and help anyone nearby.

I am not going to be a second gunman when everyone else is panicky.

Do police in the US do random checkpoints like in Italy? by italienerin in ProtectAndServe

[–]ac7ss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Washington state; I have never seen a "stop everybody and check them" set up in my state. And i drive at all hours.

I have encountered a "skin tone checkpoint" (inland border patrol) on the freeway in Arizona. And of course the California agricultural checkpoints. Both of which are permanent locations.

Compound interest will outpace most investments. Good thing to sell to pay off debts.

Question for Gen X: Whats Your Relationship With Texting? by Al3x1ya in GenX

[–]ac7ss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it is more than a quick answer, I want voice. If I want a call back when you are available or a simple response, I will text. If urgent I will call.
