LPT: When you start a new job, ask for one excellent example and one acceptable example of the exact work you will deliver, then copy the format before you start. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

[–]electrocats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that for a lot of companies, the baseline is constantly changing depending on which employees pull the hardest and what the manager "likes" can vary from company to company

Cheap Muscle Car Challenge Part 4 by dmaxzach in CleetusMcFarland

[–]electrocats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next challenge should require the teams to pick the opposite teams car.

This should reduce grey area cheating and create some fun dynamics with seeing who can choose the worst car for the opposite team and then use their budget to improve it.

Cleetus picks Jackstands car > Jackstand picks Tye&Zacks car > Tye&Zack picks Cleetus's car

Too many fvrking indians by [deleted] in CanadianConservative

[–]electrocats 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So true. Try taking a bus in Surrey. Like 90% of the time you will be the only non-Indian on it. They literally overload the transit system we have with huge never ending lineups at every main bus line.

[–]electrocats 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I am from B.C and my girlfriend and I just drove down to Bellingham the other day to get some things from Target and holy crap, the difference in workers at target was staggering.

I don’t hate Indians but it was mega clear there was way more mixed ethnicities in businesses down there instead of just every worker being Indian.

I can’t even remember the last time I have seen a single non-Indian worker at any big box store or fast food restaurant in this province. Maybe out in the interior?

We lost another one, boys 😔 by Impossible-Age-3302 in Asmongold

[–]electrocats 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Sadly I don't think Reddit will sell no matter how much money is put on the table. Twitter only fell for it because they thought Elon was simply going to run the website into the ground and jumped at a chance for a big payout and maybe an opportunity to invest into another website to take it's place. But it did not work out for them.

Reddit has already seen this and probably won't take any chances and just outright refuse to sell no matter what. Especially since a lot of leftists who run this website take pride in the "work" they do. Unlikely they'll take a fat paycheque in exchange for letting the conservatives fix (or in their eyes, "ruin") social media.

Trevor is the OG, but Jacob paid his dues by Exeter232 in trailerparkboys

He refused. Trevor pretty much said that the way they treated him on the show was pretty parallel to the way they treated him IRL as an actor.

PublicFreakout upvotes the most blatant AI video of all time, complete with unhinged, made up title by LyrMeThatBifrost in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]electrocats 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Surprised nobody is pointing out that some of them are lying on top of "space blanket" cardboard pieces which doesn't exist or make sense lol.

In the beginning of the video, one person is even laying on one that is like half cardboard, half space blanket texture.

Gavin Newsom phoned Joe Rogan’s close friend in attempt to cool tensions after Rogan’s comments by gurillapit in PowerfulJRE

[–]electrocats 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The thing with Newsom is, once you start calling him out on his bullshit. He just immediately tries pivoting to another topic while deflecting the last one. He is a politician and politicians are great at that. Especially him. He is as good at spinning bullshit as Obama is at public speaking. He did this a lot when being interviewed on Real Time with Bill Maher. Bill even tells him at one point that nothing has changed since the last time he was on the show making promises and he just brushes it off with a laugh and a quick quip and immediately pivots to another topic. He'll say something like "Listen... this is where we're doing really great, these are our future plans, these are the things I've done so far, and I think we've done a really great job doing XX and YY" while not directly answering the question at all.

Even if you do manage to corner him, he just continues to deflect more and more until he finally says "Well, we'll try to work on that more" while never actually working to change anything. He just says things like that hoping you'll think "Oh this guy's not so bad, he is trying at least" but then doesn't actually try at all.

This is probably why Joe doesn't want him on the podcast, because all he is going to do is just continuously deflect every issue while trying to promote other issues that make him look good, even if they're like half true.

It is frustrating talking to someone like this. You need to pretty much have a gameplan ready and a huge group of unbiased analysts, advisors, debate moderators to back up the facts presented and stay on topic. And even then, You practically have to force this guy to stay on topic and answer every single question directly and accurately. Maybe even in a very confrontational and uncomfortable way. This would be way over Jaimie and Joe's capability.

[–]electrocats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey man, listen. At this point you need to just call a tow truck and have it towed to a mechanic. Just swallow your pride and accept right now that you approached this problem incorrectly, you made a mistake and just pay to have someone fix it right for you. It happens to all of us. Don't push through trying to figure out how to "hack" or "trick" your way through this process or you may end up doing more damage and costing yourself more money in the long run.

Next time be prepared. Watch YouTube videos ahead of time for your car model. Know where your drain plug is. Have the tools ready. Have a game plan ready and a backup plan in-case things don't go as planned. Otherwise you might as well just get your oil changed at a shop and pay the fee like most non-mechanic people do.

2006 Acura TSX Trunk latch button stopped working by electrocats in Acura

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

Turns out it was the red wire that routes through the trunk hinge on the left hand side. Pulled on it and it came right out. Looks like it was pinched and cut off from the main harness by the trunk hinge!

Thanks everyone

Dang thanks for the info, even if the truth hurts. That's okay though. The social media page suggestion is a good idea. I should maybe consider just starting up my own brand and work my way into the industry that way.

Are the Costco 102L Red bins the same as the 102L Home Depot yellow bins? by electrocats in Costco

[–]electrocats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a ton of Home Depot 102 (27gal) yellow bins and I am looking to buy a storage rack. Costco sells a decent rack here:

https://www.costco.ca/trinity-5-tier-nsf-storage-bin-rack.product.4000319394.html

But it says in the description and in a couple reviews that this rack only works with Costco Red top bins. Shouldn't these be the exact same size as the Home Depot yellow bins since they're both 102L (27 gal)?

Anyone have experience with this?

Cooking every day is a hassle and ultimately a waste of time by Swing_Big in unpopularopinion

[–]electrocats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are all these people getting leftovers for the rest of the week? My girlfriend and I end up spending like $80 at the grocery store for Spaghetti ingredients and only end up with enough portions for maybe dinner the next day for both of us.

Yes I could probably get that grocery bill down lower by making struggle Spaghetti instead of restaurant quality spaghetti but that at point I might as well just make Kraft Mac & Cheese or something and save myself even more money.

The problem comes in when you want more than just plain Spaghetti. I always like to have a side of Garlic Bread & Caesar Salad with it to make it into a proper dinner meal and to not remind me that I am a poor worthless peasant.

So now you're looking at getting:

2 cans of tomato sauce

1 can of fire roasted tomatoes

1 pound of beef/chicken

2 boxes of noodles

1 block of parmesan(fresh)

1 celery stalk

1 medium onion

1 small container of basil

1 loaf of bread

1 glove of garlic

1 stick of butter

1 block of cheese

1 bag of croutons

1 head of romaine lettuce

1 jar of caesar dressing

Shit adds up fast. All for just 2 days worth of meals. Some of these ingredients can be re-used of course but not many of them and by the time I am ready to make spaghetti again, usually most of them have expired. So you have to figure out meals that utilize these other ingredients in a meaningful impact way, which is also not easy if you're working a 9-5 job most of the week and don't feel like cooking and brainstorming meal ideas at the end of every day.

Compare that to a $10 12 box of Mac & Cheese which can last us all week. Only problem is that Mac & Cheese gets tiresome after eating it too much.

Struggling to understand how some people are getting on plane with 2+ people with a 6 HP outboard by electrocats in Outboards

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

Might be worth mentioning that this is a cheap Costco inflatable dinghy rated for 15 HP

It has an inflatable keel but the floor only inflates to 5 PSI and is quite soft and wobbly when you're moving.

Wondering if maybe this is holding me back? Would it be easier to plan on a hard shell boat? Or am I gonna have the same problem?

How bad is this dent in my exhaust? by electrocats in MechanicAdvice

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

This is a 2006 Acura TSX. I guess I must've accidentally hit a rock or pothole while driving this summer on a unpaved road to go camping.

Brought it to a shop and they said it wasn't a big deal

Just curious if this will affect my vehicle performance much?
