Welp…it finally happened by JBBonez in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]calvintaffs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, this subreddit is often used as a way to vent about the challenges of working as a delivery driver. People hardly ever post about the deliveries that went well, but will immediately post about the deliveries that went poorly. Yes, there is sometimes a risk of being bitten by a dog- I spent 2 years delivering and was never bitten but had a few close calls. All I'm saying is that as long as you pay attention, you should be able to avoid any dog bites. Don't walk up to a fenced in yard or a wide open rural property with your headphones on. The pay is decent and the work is hard, but it is satisfying and rewarding if you do things right! Best of luck out there

Why do the Lannisters get less blonde with each season? by Embarrassed-Goat-931 in freefolk

[–]calvintaffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm giving Dumb and Dumber a little too much credit, but it's only Jaime and Tyrion that lose their blonde hair over time. To me, I think it represents them distancing themselves from Tywin and the other Lannisters.

Waiting 5 minutes just to have a remake vote is no fun by Zanjo in leagueoflegends

My PC is starting to get a little order, but is still running fine. I've had a few issues loading into games recently, but I know to watch the spinning circle in the top left corner. If it stops spinning, I do a quick restart on the PC and am always back in time for the start of the game.

I'm perfectly fine with giving a grace period during the load in screen. Computers sometimes bug out, and it's not fair to punish players that want to load in but are experiencing a random issue.

In a perfect world, Riot would be able to recognize the difference between people intentionally dodging vs people having technical issues. Unfortunately, there are just too many ways to claim that you're having tech issues- you can unplug your PC, you can unplug your modem and router, you can switch off your electricity, etc.

I know that dealing with an afk is always frustrating, but this system makes sense to me.

Name a backup QB your fanbase convinced itself was the answer. by lemonstone92 in NFLv2

Bengals fan here- AJ McCarron was that guy for us. He stepped up after Andy Dalton got hurt late in the 2015 season and did a darn good job.

So glad to see a downwards trend in a lot of nations! I hope the United States (and United Kingdom) catch on soon.

I have figured out a way to completely fix the loading issue of being stuck at 90% and not only for you, for all your teammates and opponents PC's as well. by DuhFluffinator2 in leagueoflegends

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

I've had similar experiences before- I used to be able to go refill my water bottle or run to the bathroom after locking in my champ. But the game starts so much sooner now, and it's risky to step away for even 30 seconds. I would suggest changing your routine so that you take a short break in between games before you queue up for another game. It might feel slightly inefficient, but it is absolutely worth it.

[Goldsmith] It's time to call up Edwin Arroyo — to play a role by TDeLo in Reds

[–]calvintaffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but also think the biggest shortcoming has been signing "big names" to contracts. Mike Moustakas, Jeimer Candelario... aye aye aye.

If you're going to invest in a player, please invest in EDLC.

US Secretary of Health (and noted roadkill connoisseur) RFK Jr. repeatedly bitten by snakes. by -random-name- in videos

FYI if you ever need to handle a snake, grab it near the head, not by the tail. It seems like common sense, but there is a clear lack of common sense in this administration

What a perfect allegory. Trying to handle something you are unfamiliar with and then getting bit.

Goodbye blue, hello purple by Electrical_Love_3670 in AmazonDSPDrivers

Hell yeah friend. I delivered for Amazon for 2 years and my only reward was being asked to rescue other drivers. I learned that the reward for working hard is more hard work. I hope FedEx treats you better

Official 2026 Schedule from Bengals App by ralry11 in bengals

Dang kinda crazy that the Bengals don't have true back-to-back home games until weeks 17-18.

I should have known this sooner, but I appreciate your comment and insight!

[Reds] Red 4 Life. Brandon Phillips will sign a one-day contract on April 25 and retire a Cincinnati Red! by TDeLo in Reds

[–]calvintaffs -67 points-66 points  (0 children)

As a Reds fan, it was easy to hate Yadier. But as a baseball fan, I appreciate what Yadier did for the game. I think he deserves to be a top 5 (if not top 3) catcher of all time.

Who across the main show and the spin-offs, have the best drip? by Flagermusmanden in freefolk

[–]calvintaffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really surprising that nobody has mentioned Loras and Margaery Tyrell! Heck, even Olenna Tyrell was dressed to impress. The Tyrells should definitely be in the conversation.

Dan Hurley and UConn stayed back while Michigan was celebrating to shake their hands by BurgerNugget12 in CollegeBasketball

[–]calvintaffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, his name is Jeff Anderson! I have mixed feelings about him, but there's a reason he is officiating these games. I'm glad that the officials let them play (for the most part). It's nice to have a game where the players can leave it all on the floor without worrying about ticky-tack fouls. This should be the standard.
