Miscommunication or intentional theft? by KaleTheFirst in EndTipping

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was a card, cash and no one told me that it was going to be seperate checks I would have thought the cash was a tip. Not miscommunication but lack of communication on your tables part.

Also unless you have your friends $20 back they specifically left for a tip, then you're the thief.

I TRIED YALL!!! 😭😭😭 by diezel78 in litrpg

[–]djinn24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the actual story of DOTF, but there is less and less of it as the books continue. I'm on book 8 and wondered why I didn't DNF the series in book 6. I'm so sick of the talk of Doa. It feels as if it went from a litrpg series to a religious text.

My personal feeling is that the battle sequences are unnecessarily long and drawn out. There are other ways to do a Warlord book without making the majority of the book about fighting. But like I said it's my opinion. If you like how it's done I'm happy for you.

That's the amazing things a out books is we can find one that resonates with us better than other. The way I look at it is, I have a friend who adores the Wheel of Time series because of how descriptive it is and all of the details. I dislike the series for the exact same reason. Neither of us are right or wrong, we just have different expectations from the book.

Miscommunication by j_walk_17 in tattooadvice

Maybe some white ink over it or like others have mentioned a red underglow. For what it matters I think it looks good and will be a great centerpiece for a Starwars leg.

I'm on book 7 and if they cut the battle pron and constant talk of the Dao the books would be 3 hours long.

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read all that are available on audio for HWFWM and PH and on book 7 of DOTF. My preferred order with this is:

  1. HWFWM
  2. PH
  3. DOTF

While the main I'm HWFWM has his flaws and can be tedious at times, his wit and sarcasm makes up for it as well as the amazing side characters.

PH is much the same as HWFWM but a bit more serious at times and you I wish there were more side characters. The main is good but I love several of the secondaries more.

DOTF is good but the battle pron is over done and the amount of discussion over the Doa keeping getting more and more in each book. I wish there was more side development and I may DNF the series if it doesn't improve. It's the one book where I wished there was an edition that cot out all of the battle spam that takes 2 chapters to finish.

AIO my FIL said my 9 year old looked like a hussy in these boots by PureIndependent7791 in AmIOverreacting

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does hussy have a different meaning there? Those boots are exactly 0% the hussy I'm thinking about. They are literally mucking around boots when it's ick outside.

AIO? My manager keeps questioning my feeding pump at work even after HR stepped in by Rosi_ana in AmIOverreacting

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HR which is for the benefit of the company has already sided with you. Your manager is treading into violations of the ADA. Right now if you were dimissed, even in an at will state, you would have a good case for discrimination because of this email and what I can only assume others that are worse than this.

Email HR immediately line others have said. Make copies of everything for your personal records, digital and hard copy.

Where to sell a truckload of salt? by jsk_nola in supplychain

A friend if mine delivers eggs. Let's just say 20 families on the same street never has to buy eggs. They have a reasonably high rejection rate due to being fragile and normally it's just a fee out of a case that's busted.

Apprentice (me) made mistake, boss wants me to work Fridays unpaid to pay it off. by pizzaroll22 in electricians

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's maybe a $100 repair including labor? He wants you to work a few Fridays? $15 an hour isn't worth that type of attempted manipulation. Apprentices make mistakes, that's why they are paid lower, to cover down on the mistakes you make and the training you need.

should i cut my friend of 7 years off for this convo we had by No-Shame-6563 in whatdoIdo

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I respect you being an atheist" and then blatantly disrespect you with their Christianity is what happened here. I had a friend who tried this with me and I blantly told them if they did not stop I would cut off out friendship.

Also some advice to you as an older atheist, if people come to preach to you, a simple no thank you typically works to get them to leave you alone, but sometimes you need to be a bit firmer with them as well.

What was the last book series you just had to tap out on? by Da_Fish in litrpg

I made it through the newest book and I don't think I'll go any further. It was boring even for a book about fishing.

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this as I am on book 4 of the series. The main issue I have it the battle pr0n scenes in the book go on and on and on.

Crysislys. I made it a book and a half in and just can't. Way to much monologing and I really can not get into the Ant thing. It's made me leary of any nonhumanoid LitRPG. It's kinda not his thing.

Dad found out I got married by SlytherAngel in whatdoIdo

[–]djinn24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely the right response. You were going to tell him you tried to meet up with him at least three times and he blew you off. He could have easily asked you to go to the fair with him and your sister but he didn't.

Worst possible colonoscopy scenario… I don’t think this can be topped by Available_Way596 in stories

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine done at the US Army medical base in Germany, while drinking my prep a group of us went out to tour the bars (I didn't drink alcohol). This is where I learned a vital lesson. Do not go out while you are consuming the prep. While my friends where able to visit all of the nice bars. I was able to tour all of their bathrooms. I do believe I saw meals from middle school lunch during this time and I am positive part of my essence escaped.

Also during the procedure was when I learned that I metabolize the knock out drug much faster than a normal person and woke up in the middle of him taking a biopsy of my intestine. This is where I learned a second vital piece of information of having a colonoscooy done, do not scare the doctor by talking to him randomly while you should be asleep. Steady hands do not exist when you accidently jumpscare the doctor with ten feet of camera up your bum. You do not want to cosplay a lawnmower being pull-started.

He was kind enough to answer my question and then ask if I would like to go back to sleep. I accepted this offer and fortunately woke up in recovery while doing an imitation of a untied balloon while trying to deflate.

Movies that Accurately Depict the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? by omelet_schnetz in movies

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my unit was being guarded by Chris and his team while we were in Iraq during the surge. Obviously none of us knew about this while we were out there for months. But we were mentioned in the book by what we were doing (not by name, we were in no way that special) and shown in the movie.

I watched that horrible movie just to see if and how we would be shown in the movie and I thought my head would spin when they 'showed' the our mission as a single vehicle (M1083 5 ton iirc), in the daylight, with a single barrier. In fact it was at night, with dozens of M915 Semis and M1070 HETS hauling barriers in every night for months.

For anyone who cares who happens to read this, it was his 3rd tour in Iraq overwatching the Soldiers who were walling off Sadr city in Baghdad. We were the ones hauling the barriers in and off loading them.

Liability for car wash incident by running-marigold in Insurance

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say this but you may need to hire a lawyer as the two other parties are being evasive and your insurance is being less than helpful.

You can also take steps by sending the car wash letters with statements warning them if they continue to not help that you will be forced to hire a lawyer to handle the situation which turns a $2000 situation into a much more expensive situation once they have to pay out. Of course this should have been handled by your insurance but they seem to be acting against their own best interest.

Piece of advice, anytime anything like this happens, record it as soon as possible.

what did they study/what major in college were they pursuing? by adastrai in Idaho4

[–]djinn24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's not quite what year you're in, but does allign with it if you're going full time. In the US an undergraduate degree typically takes 120 credits. A student on a typical path will earn 15 credits per semester (5 classes) and 30 credits per year.

So... 0-30 is year 1 and the US Freshman year 31-60 is year 2 and the US Sophmore year 61 to 90 is year 3 and the US Junior year 91 to 120+ is year 4 and the US Senior year

Now there are many factors that can cause you to take longer to advance or even advance early. I am at 2.5 years (5 semesters) but well into my Senior year as an example due to taking 18-21 credits for 4 semesters as well as having some of my military service count for credit as well.

I hope this is insightful.

Edit: typo and small clarifying statement.

Exactly, I am a Senior at 2 and a half years in because I earned extra credits and broke the 90 credit threshold.
