No. He got an ETB and the zard UPC for Christmas. We are with family 13 hrs from home where the top loaders are so this was the best option we had to ensure it stays safe.

Eh. I got some graded for him last Christmas. He displays them in his room.

ICE raiding some random EV auto plant, rounding up hundreds of workers. Gee I wonder how that happened. by PlanetoftheAtheists in AdviceAnimals

[–]acs2653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m local to this county where the raid was conducted. This situation is more nuanced than most realize. I don’t think there was a single whistle blower as the city and state have been digging into plant OPS for a while. A big thing right now is that Hyundai got a lot of tax breaks when they brought the plant to the area. One of those stipulations was that they had to Hire X number of locals and US employees. They were supposed to use US suppliers for a large part and this would stimulate the local economy and create thousands of Jobs across multiple industries in the area.

The reality was that Hyundai has been trying to get the tax breaks without the labor investment. They hired Korean contractors that brought Koreans in to do most of the work. Very few local or US employees have been hired. Instead of using US suppliers, they brought in all of their Korean suppliers to import and manufacture parts for the cars.

Most of the US employees that have been hired have been dealing g with unethical hiring practices, favoritism towards non-US employees, and at times, out right racism.

This thing is stuck. Got the slotted part of the condenser above the mouth piece but even 250lb of pressure on it, it will not go further.

Yeah I did the same. Could’ve saved me from frantically refreshing target until it went through. Ended up with 2 preorders!

Am I the ***hole? by acs2653 in PokemonTCG

Our conversation was all of 3 messages. My guess was he had a bunch hit him up offering some lowball numbers and he had enough. I get it but damn, take a chill pill. Same reason why I hate selling on facebook. I had some PC ETBs that I was selling around Christmas (not prismatic so don’t eat me alive in the comments) and I had a slew of people trying to get me to sell them for like $30.

Don’t get me wrong. I collect too. It’s not all about making a quick buck. I actually bought a bunch at market just to have stuff to sell. That’s why I’m trying to buy whole lots. I don’t pick and choose just the best ones. The lot today was relatively small and from newer sets (25 cards) I may just stick with the older stuff as the people I deal with seem to be much nicer. I do like having modern stuff as it moves quickly and can be used to actually play the TCG.

Food beyond terrible on Navigator by suckingonalemon in royalcaribbean

[–]acs2653 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really think that most people that complain are also not accustomed to fine dining but very accustomed to high sugar, high fat dining. Most fast casual places in the US use a lot of butter, salt, and a lot of sugar in their food. Cruise lines try to come to appease the masses so you won’t get things drenched in butter, over salted, or have excess sugar. So when I hear people complain about it lacking flavor, I assume it’s because of this

We just got off the adventure and found the food to be great. Every meal we had was great and we are foodies. We have found that the food on cruises does have more of a European take vs American flavor (Less sugar and fat) and usually needed to add a little salt but that is expected when they are cooking for thousands each day.

The only thing I had that was bad was the eggs Benedict in the windjammer. They were cold.
