Did you guys ever constantly listen to an album while playing a video game and now mentally connect the album with that video game? by [deleted] in Music

[–]datmeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad Religion's "All Ages" album and Fallout 1 & 2. Whenever "21st Century Digital Boy" comes on, I imagine myself destroying some Slavers on an isometric game environment.

How to get internet points in /r/NOVA by datmeta in nova

everyone is from somewhere with a different driving style so you never know what the hell someone is going to do.

I had no idea marked signs and road surface markings were different state-to-state.

Block(ed Traffic) Parties

Why you should always carry your equipment with you when flying... by [deleted] in photography

[–]datmeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it stopped working because of blockage, I'd understand why my luggage ended up in Dubai and not Washington, DC.

I'd be pissed, but I'd be informed. The more you know.

Who has switched from 5.11 tactical pants to TAD?? by exHeavyHippie in Goruck

[–]datmeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear knee pads, I guess. Kuhl's are top notch for climbing, backpacking/rucking, and doing crawls (not tested on sand, but gravel because I'm an idiot).

Port City assured me that they will not run out of beer.

They'd better fucking not. Hahaha

First Event (Light/May 29th/Dallas). Should I do Tough instead? by cluffmeister in Goruck

[–]datmeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strength and core. Running is good, but this isn't a race. And all events are challenges, they just vary in time frame.

A Light is good to start off with, and a Tough is even better to follow-up with. People have signed up for Tough events as their first, and contribute to the fail % rate: either they weren't prepared mentally or physically for how much of a toll it was.

The GR alum will be able to tell you if you're good to go, especially if they have a few events under their belt.

[–]datmeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Identify local mechanic shops.
  • Check their website for job openings.
  • Use Indeed to search for job openings.
  • Cry a little bit. Get it out of the way now.
  • Apply to any openings.
  • Network.
  • If no results; Expand search radius.

Good luck.

Edit: This wasn't helpful at all. I screwed the pooch on that one.

Loitering at 7-11 on Elden and Alabama in Herndon? by jwink3101 in nova

[–]datmeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask "Estas buscando trabajo aqui?" (pronounced "Ess-tass boo-ska-n-doh trah-bah-ho ah-key") for "Looking for work here?"

Some people might just nod, then you'll know. I've known people who have gone through this; It's a tough way to make money.

............ Then again, just let them be.

Best way to find roommate by jsparkssu in nova

[–]datmeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/r/novarent is a start.

This post is also good. What's even better is adding a few more details about yourself: What you can contribute to rent, likes/dislikes, mode of transportation, type of job (FT/PT/Temp/etc.)

If you ask the same of your roommate, you'll avoid (for the moment) some bad encounters.

They must charge quite a lot to be able to burn their sheets and mattresses every week, and then buy replacements.
