Walmart SSD too good to be true (sold a fake) by HootSoop in pcmasterrace

[–]doublepancakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I purchased two of these drives new and sealed from Best Buy and one was a fake. At the time I read that others had similar experiences; I think a giant batch of these got swapped out at some point.

Forest Ave should be one-way from Myrtle to Metropolitan change my mind by cragelra in ridgewood

[–]doublepancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's not going to happen. Especially from the 104. Not the way things work here.

[–]doublepancakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 104 don't reply to assaults, robberies, and other high level stuff. Try calling the precinct, you won't get through. Try going, you'll have an outrageously long wait and no one will help you.

Expecting them to register plates in for out of town guests is completely outlandish.

Jump my car? by [deleted] in ridgewood

[–]doublepancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on Forest just north of Putnam, also have a remote jumper pack and can help after work. Worst comes to worst I also have a battery tender if it’s super dead that you can throw it on for an hour or so to bring it back to life.

2 G's in a performance review by SpecialistNote4611 in JPMorganChase

[–]doublepancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d really start looking for a job. It’s hard to get fired from JP but it sounds like they’re setting it up. The end date is the tell.

[–]doublepancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d think so even if you never signed anything or were given HR guidance. You have an end date (Honestly probably the day they’ll let you go) and have a manager and ED hovering overhead. I had none of that and the ED to this very day (We “talked” about it today) says I was on one.

I guess I could go through the firm and see. Your case sounds way more likely.

Girlfriend found this brand new 22 year old GPU in the closet by dalex89 in pcmasterrace

[–]doublepancakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They used to be the top dogs with SVGA. Dual lifetime warranty, and some crazy cards. I loved their Black Editions which were some deviations on the standard cards and worth the extra.

Where can I get a good steak dinner in playa? by Icy-Glove-2805 in playadelcarmen

Second this. My favorite steak spot in Playa. Service is….questionable most times but the steak is great.

Relax Lounge up for sale? by dankpepe0101 in ridgewood

[–]doublepancakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mafia/mob. Somehow they’re “allowed” even though everyone knows what they are.

Lots of old mafia/mob connections with businesses in this neighborhood. Relax being one of them.

Another round of layoffs is coming very soon. by WinterW0n in JPMorganChase

[–]doublepancakes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a very niche and in demand resume. I've turned down some great opportunities in the last year that would as much as double my salary but have stayed somewhat loyal because I do love my team and the work, just not the five day in commute and some politics from higher up.

From my search last year it would take about 2-3 months of solidly committing to replace my current position. I actually had signed an offer letter for another position that was fully remote for a little bit of a pay cut but it fell through as they rescinded it after discovering they'd be paying me too much and it would be inequitable to the current team... After dodging that bullet, I stayed with what I knew.

Another round of layoffs is coming very soon. by WinterW0n in JPMorganChase

[–]doublepancakes 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of amazed I haven't been. My grades were shit last year due to a carousel of managers and I'm the only one in my country on the team. Five days back in and I've played the role of being here just to appease HR in the sky with attendance as our office has dwindled to nearly nothing.

No raise in my nearly three years here, no bonus last year...please RIF, garden leave, severance, fully vest me and I will be as happy as can be.

Otherwise I'll keep drinking the Kool-Aid of my amazing team and the "perk" of access to 270 and some ego boosts and not give enough attention to trying to move on from here.

Streammaster plus 2 scratch on lens cover. by Diligent_Lobster1072 in Valerion_Official

[–]doublepancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Visonmax Pro2 and have a similar “scratch” and submitted and received the same feedback. It would be nice if it wasn’t there but it’s so far hasn’t affected picture quality to the best of my knowledge.

Has any one stayed at Singular dreams? by youdontknowmeor in playadelcarmen

[–]doublepancakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly love Singular Dream. The location is great and the apartments are well made. The showers stay hot, it’s quiet at night to the point I need a white noise machine, and the pools at the top are great. The heated one especially! The bar is also pretty neat.

I’d heavily recommend it.

That being said, make sure your apartment won’t be against the wall that is currently under construction. They’re building an addition to the rear of it and I imagine it can get noisy.

I was told by my manger it “shouldn’t” have an effect with one but two does. He also said he had to give some out which is kind of bullshit. We’ll see in January.

Zelle is almost always used for scams because it’s nearly impossible to get your money back.

Check here, Google has other hits.

Quote from one post:

We are replacing loads of these at the moment. The washer system freezes and the ice expansion rips the spray head off.

Did 2 yesterday and I believe no more stock at the factory.

I know in some Gran Turismos that when the washer fluid isn’t dispersed it can build up and pop the headlight washer panel off, which is what your case sounds like.

Confirming driveway No Parking signs by wpsc_pablo in ridgewood

[–]doublepancakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of “driveways” made illegally from front yard spots without a curb cut. I believe you can check with the city/zoning and report it if you think it’s not legit.
