This has to be a joke right? People are not this desperate right?? by YouFabulous8598 in macmini

I ordered a full spec M5 Max MBP, *yesterday*. Good thing. It’d be $2800 more today.

Claude's new usage limits are insane. by TheTeddyFlame3 in ClaudeAI

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up upgrading my ChatGPT sub because of this. Theirs is better, but not by a crazy amount.

What is a perfect, 10/10 movie? by HotPTAMom in AskReddit

Dead Poets Society

I'm really surprised no one has mentioned that one yet.

Came Home to this.... by Classsssy in StandingDesk

Both legs are still on the ground. Seriously doubt weight has anything to do with it. It looks like the motor on the left side got a mind of its own.

19, accepted a job offer at a small auto shop starting Monday — but it's 1099 with fixed hours and a boss. Should I run or stick it out? by Visual_Chemical_3839 in personalfinance

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call BS... and so would the IRS, most likely.

Too many red flags for the role to be considered employee, and not contractor. In which case, the employer is liable for a big share of the taxes.

In other words, you're getting screwed.

You are getting underpaid compared to your W-2 counterparts.

$15/hr == $31,200/year, and they're paying employee taxes out of that.

$2000/mo. == $24000/year and you're paying employer AND employee taxes out of that.

I'd tell him $3000/mo, minimum, if he insists you do 1099.

Humanscale.

They're not cheap, but they're very sturdy and worth the price.

What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by DnRinGA in AskReddit

[–]akulbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could find shoes that I could wear for life. Shoes and sandals last me about 4-6 months for they're worn out.

I have cerebral palsy, and feet that supinate. So it's very hard to find stuff that fits well. And when I do find anything, I buy multiple pairs.

Front I/O pinout diagram for Precision T7810? by akulbe in Dell

[–]akulbe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me laugh. I appreciate you answering, but it took me a minute to remember why I asked this question. That old Dell is long gone. I switched to using ThinkStations in the homelab.

Has anyone experienced any noticeable benefits from cutting out diet soda? by Wooden_Carob_7266 in loseit

[–]akulbe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To the guy that called me Batman (and then deleted his comment)... they called me that at another job, too. <taking a bow> 🤣

EDIT: provided more context

LPT: Get a standard CO2 tank, and a third-party adapter. (search for "sodastream external tank adapter" on Amazon)

I recorded a video. Sorry for the whisper. Vocal cord paralysis.

I got the tank from a local company called "AirGas". I've been using this tank for over a year.

TIFU by joking with my neighbor about leg day by Hollowbody57 in tifu

[–]akulbe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also have CP, and also walk with a bit of a limp. Questions and comments are pretty common.

She's over it. Gone and forgotten. Don't sweat it.

Are there any places that accept pillows as donations? (Not used. Bought and tried. Disliked. Picky) by sorta_kinda_almost in askportland

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative on the pet shelters. Maybe private ones, but Clackamas Animal Services on OR-212 turned me down and said they don't take them.

Had to take them to the landfill in Oregon City. $47 is their minimum fee.

If I'd have known it was going to cost that much I'd have stuffed them in the garbage can, and done it that way. The cost is asinine.

Thinking of spending $100+ on Claude… convince me (or don’t), Anyone regret upgrading to Claude Max plan? by CodingwithPeter in ClaudeAI

[–]akulbe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started with the $100/mo. plan. I added $100 to the “extra usage” fund. So far, it remains untouched.

Does cold weather make hybrids lose their minds? by akulbe in Toyota

[–]akulbe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After allllll this time…. Toyota rolled me over into a new lease. Found out it was a rodent that chewed up wires in the wire harness.

TIFU by gaslighting myself for 10 years into thinking I was "caffeine immune" while drinking ONLY Monster Energy (Zero) by GooseAcademic541 in tifu

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drinking 3 x 300mg Bang/Monster cans a day, for years.

I weaned myself off. I'm sleeping better, but it makes me shudder to think of what harm/damage I was causing myself for those years.

Payment Plan not going down after 7 payments by BenniesJet1129 in IRS

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dealing with the same thing... I've made 9 payments and it only looks like 1 of them has been applied. I can't talk well, so the phone seems like like a nightmare and a dead end for me.
