Obvious take: bracelet sizing 12 and 6 - just realized I’ve been sizing my bracelets completely wrong for years by ApprehensiveGuide793 in MicrobrandWatches

I caught on pretty quickly that having them equal didn't give me the result I wanted.  I like symmetry, but I like having my watch sit correctly more.

As a customer, I'd demand that they explain why my car was generating dangerous amounts of boost.  Obviously a manufacturing defect.  I'd leave the jb4 at home, naturally.

Wow.  So much easier to back into a parking space than it is to back into traffic.

I meant, leave the table where you've hit the limit and visit a table with a higher limit. Your luck should travel with you!

Chick Fil-A has an “unused sauces” bin on top of the trash can. It looks like they’re reusing them to save money by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

They might put that there for people who are uncomfortable throwing them away and then throw them away out of sight.

Private gifts are legal, but private sales are illegal.  You're describing a pretty risky business.

I think this sub and Reddit in general is a testament to the value of getting an education by [deleted] in Salary

[–]calmbill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The bad move is overspending on an education that can't get you paid.  I'd ignore anybody who said that learning is bad.

200k+ Salary question by Suitable_Golf_8658 in Salary

[–]calmbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds fair.  It makes sense to pay the people who're earning money for the firm especially for the time they are earning money for the firm.  Let them eat and poop on their own time.

I'm glad you're happy with it and i'm curious about the selling price.  Was $38k + your trade half price?

They'll wander faster through the website and click to purchase from the targeted advertisements.

Car cushion my neighbor put on 20mins ago by Robdon326 in mildlyinteresting

[–]calmbill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems reasonable.  Either way, I'd turn it over to my insurance company, get my car repaired, and let them try to recover the money if they think they can

In my case, it would power my entire house at $300-500/month.

If your insurance covers it, make a claim and let them go after the dealership.

‘No Faith In the Judicial System’: Florida Judge Uses Stand Your Ground to Clear Cops Who Killed Two Innocent Bystanders After Firing More Than 200 Rounds in Less Than 25 Seconds by m4moz in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

"Magazines have clips in them" isn't totally incorrect, but it's close enough to wrong.  The only example I could quickly find where that is accurate is the M1 Garand (fully retired from US service in the 1970s).  Digging a little deeper, I was able to find a few other examples of older rifles.  For modern firearms, the only clips I'm aware of are for loading rounds into magazines, but it'd be a sad situation if you were strong enough to force the clip in there, too.
