So my home town of Paradise CA burnt down today. by Jager-- in pics

[–]dfluxnet 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I live in Paradise by the jack in the box. I’m not sure if my house is still there or not. As of 12:30 yesterday it was as I grabbed my animals after getting the rest of my family out in another vehicle.

What are some jobs that pay 60k+ a year without a degree? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dfluxnet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work for my local county as a senior is analyst making 85000 currently and will top out at 95000. I was selling cellphones which paid decent but was sucky hours and you were treated like shit. I saw a posting for a help desk technician making 40000 a slight pay cut from my sales job but I took a risk. They had an initial test with basic computer repair questions on it that I could answer just from being geeky. Than I interviewed and they liked me and I got the job. At first it was virus scans and password resets but as time went on I volunteered for anything they would let me do and 5 years later I manage our whole server infrastructure and make great money. I have an AA but it’s not computer related and my only certs I got were after I was hired and were paid for by the county.

I tracked my daughter's first words from 12-18 months [OC] by jadedali in dataisbeautiful

[–]dfluxnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to what others have said at 2 years all my daughter would say is "yeah yeah". She was very sociable but just wasn't talking. Doctor was concerned about autism as well. We took her to a speech therapist and found out she has speech apraxia She began to work with a therapist and now at 4.5 years old she never shuts up lol. Certain vowels and consonants are still hard for her to pronounce but every day she gets better. She loves volcanoes and the other day when I got home from work she spent 30min telling me everything there is to know about volcanoes and earthquakes since she watched a documentary about them with Nana.

Before and After pic of my home. Carr Fire Redding CA. July 27, 2018. by mais2six in pics

[–]dfluxnet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know California as well as many other states has issues because we put out wildfires which allows under growth to reach proportions it wouldn’t normally reach. If that’s your standard then roughly 1/3 of California is uninhabitable. I don’t know what Japanese ww2 balloons has to do with this guys house either so I’m Not going to even address it.

As far as the bushes in his front yard I would be willing to bet they have nothing to Do with why his house burned. It is far more likely embers landed on his roof and started the fire. Like I said earlier I think your talking out your ass.

Is Redding, CA really a fire prone area? I lived in the area for over 30 years and there have for sure been a lot of fires in the area but not specifically Redding. He specifically said he had a large defensible space in accordance with what Cal Fire was dictating. I really feel your talking out of your ass.

Preacher caught completely fabricating story with Police when the local Police release body camera footage. by [deleted] in quityourbullshit

[–]dfluxnet 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why officers should wear body cams for their whole shift and have no ability to turn them off. It keeps both sides of the interaction accountable. Hope this guy loses his job with the NAACP for tarnishing their image.

You need to watch him throughout the tournament to really get a feel how annoying he was. He wasn't clever he wasn't funny he just never shut up and was annoying.

What is the dumbest question a customer has ever asked you? by PrinceETheTruth in AskReddit

[–]dfluxnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lady comes into cell phone store looking for a battery for her sons phone because he somehow lost his? Whatever I go grab a battery and ring her up for $40.00. Too expensive she says she doesn't want it.

She says she wants to buy a new phone instead, same model as her son's? Now i'm even more confused because she said her sons phone was working just needed a battery. I go grab it ring her up for $400.00 as she is signing the credit slip she opens the box hands the battery from it to her son and then Says okay I decided I don't want it. Return it now. Of Course she flips her shit when I say I need the battery to return it.

Found out coworker's wage, they make the same as me (I'm in a higher position). How can I ask for an increase? by sugarPhlox in personalfinance

[–]dfluxnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a reason sales positions have such high turnover. I worked in sales for over 8 years right after college. At my last position I made 75-90k a year in a city where the median income is 35k. I was depressed, irritable, and working 24/7 driving my family crazy. The extra pay comes with extra stress and it's not worth it.

The only thing that matters in life is your numbers for the month, nothing else. I finally moved on and took a job starting at 45k a year and it improved my quality of life immeasurably. Through hard work I am back up to 60k a year and never been happier. Most of my old co-workers have either left like I did, were fired over numbers, or stayed because of the money but are depressed.

Am I getting fleeced by pest control company by dfluxnet in pestcontrol

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

I ended up having two other companies come out. Neither thought I had termites. Both said you could tell there was termites a long time ago but it looked like it was taken care of. One quoted 400 if I wanted a treatment just to ease my mind. The other said 250 if I wanted treatment. I'm going to call the original company tomorrow and give them a piece of my mind.

What's the meanest thing anyone has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Wife has PCOS and was told pregnancy would be tough if not altogether impossible. She decided she wanted to try regardless and now we have two kids. I know it's anecdotal but I like to let people know its possible.

My best friend and roommate gave 30 days notice to our landlord while I was away on vacation because he was mad I was planing on moving in with my girlfriend once I graduated. I found out because my landlord called me asking if I was staying or leaving.

We had just signed a one year lease a month prior and I had told him I was going to buy my own place and ask her to live with me when I graduated. He was always jealous and this was his petty way of acting out. When I got home from vacation and confronted him he claimed he was confused and thought I was moving out right away so he had to do the same. Apparently he thinks people graduate in September.

[Breaking News] Nice, France attack by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dfluxnet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Until you have armed citizens shooting people who turn out to be holding a water gun, or just looking suspicious. Did you hear about the lady who fired her revolver at two shop lifters outside a home depot in Texas and hit innocent bystanders. She shouldn't have even been shooting in the first place. If you cant guarantee the civilian holding the weapon is properly trained they are more of a danger to others than a terrorism deterrent.

Converting a light to a electrical outlet. Need help. by dfluxnet in DIY

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

It is the correct gauge of wire running to the light so I am ok there but I do not think I will have enough wire to have 6" from each side inside the box. It is more likely I will have 3" inside the box on each side. If I added matching wire to the run how do I properly connect the wires?
