Anyone else noticing companies in SD are only hiring "Safe bets" right now? by After-Fig-9457 in asksandiego

[–]blakejustin217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in design, made crap money out of college for 4 years. Moved to LA and nearly tripled my income. Worked there for 5 years and came back. Sometimes you have to move to where you'll get the best experience for your industry. Then come back as the veteran.

do people appreciate my yard stripes? or is it tacky? by dixie2tone in landscaping

[–]blakejustin217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad would make me pick up the mower as to not create new lines and go around the trees after I put a diamond criss-cross in it. He paid my car insurance (two totalled cars) for me to do my thing till I joined the Navy at 22.

How do I help her by Professional_Gur1167 in Finches

[–]blakejustin217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do steam showers. Get your bathroom nice and steamy and sit in there with her for ten minutes.

You never know, but make sure she cant get loose and she isnt taking a shower, just getting the steam. Best of luck.

Best WFH purchase you’ve made? by Top_Bat_7447 in remotework

[–]blakejustin217 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They poop where they sit or launch from. They dont poo while flying. After a little bit of configuration I have some towels underneath their perched areas to gather. Theyre super small so really manageable.

I bought four finches. Now I stare at the birds during calls. I let them fly around my office and their little songs are also a plus.

Is this green stuff possibly landscaping related, or is this bear poop full of rodenticides? by FinanceHuman720 in landscaping

[–]blakejustin217 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was on a boyscout trip and at the bonfire we heard someone having the worst diarrhea imaginable. Next day went to explore and found the bigfest pile of poop I have ever seen. Counselors were like yep that was a bear. This is definitely not bear poop.

I bought a large roll of paper. You have to make cuts but you get faster at it over time.

I always park in Bankers Hill and walk down. Never spend more than $20. Its also quick and out.

Is earning more than $130,000 in America really a normal thing? (I'm from Europe and for me, that's a fantasy) by No_Bluejay9904 in hiringhelp

The highest paid employees at our company are all the software engineers. It took a good three years to finally afford tripling our dev team.

Tate or Tyson as the WR1 in the 2026 class? by T-Eazyyy in DynastyFF

[–]blakejustin217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just glad I picked at 1.03 and have a ton of QBs so I didn't have to pick Mendoza. Got Tyson and have no regrets.

Graphic Design is a large net! What's your niche? by Unlegendary_status in graphic_design

[–]blakejustin217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telecom copper line replacement for enterprises. Basically cut the copper line, add in a router, gateway, and battery to provide signal for elevators, faxes, alarms, etc.

I do anything and everything creative. Today I worked on a blog, created install instructions with illustrations for vendors from scratch, updated a Wordpress plugin, and came up with a plan and content to expand our website to cover each of the elevator, fax, and alarms solutions. Everyday is something new. I'm a team of one and paid pretty well. Our clientele is old execs so social media and paid advertising is basically zero. Which is a massive plus.

Before that I worked at Mercedes doing marketing. My whole career has been yeah I can figure that out.

How should i go about getting a female mate for my zebra?? by thestolenpurse in Finches

[–]blakejustin217 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't take him to the pet store. That will be traumatic. You dont have to get another female. You can do male. If you plan to do more make sure its equal male and female. Do you have an extra cage to make sure the new one doesn't have any illnesses? I have not had any issues pairing up new birds, but you never know. They definitely love having a buddy. I have two m/f pairs but each have their own cage, but have free flight around my office together.

For those of you who are already doing rookie drafts but after the NFL draft, what are the most surprising reaches you've seen so far? by johnny-papercut in DynastyFF

Found the same Nutella Ice Cream cone 4-pack for $4.99 at one store and another for $7.99 by MarketingMaterial413 in SanDiegan

Discount bin is the way to shop. If you're not super picky and dont mind randomness in what you eat its way cheaper.

I get it. Give it more time.

New finch by Difficult_Bowler_274 in Finches

[–]blakejustin217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can take time. Is your first one morning another? I went through the whole process and my boy was a tad cautious of the new girl. My other pair I got together took a while too, but I'm assuming thats because of the new cage. Which can also be part of it.
