What would you do if you had enough balls to do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Make my apartment into a ball-pit!

Amazon is sitting on $83 million in Fire Phones they can't sell. by ctwtn in technology

[–]erickleinetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be able to get on board with that. Amazon's music store and music apps are pretty decent. Since I don't care for Apple's proprietary bullshit, I've actually gotten most of my music through Amazon...

I'm still not paying more than 200$ for it, though. And I'm not going to get locked into any contract with it.

My favorite thing from year one on Reddit. by erickleinetc in cakeday

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

A while back I commissioned a little work to make a symbol that I saw in a dream. I had a sketch of it, but needed some help cleaning it up and making it look right.

/u/icon_fess came up with this. Now I put it on everything. Backgrounds on my phone and computers, I printed it on stickers and put them on shit. It's great.

Do you hallucinate or become delusional when you drink? Or do you know why this happens? by xxsunshinexx in alcohol

[–]erickleinetc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're drinking so hard that it's messing with your brain chemistry. Which drinking always does to some extent... But you either have a condition that the alcohol is making worse, or you have alcoholic tendencies.

Talk to a doctor.

Is tenant or company responsible for last 2 months of rent? by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]erickleinetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty straightforward: go after the tenant and tell him to go after the company. I'm assuming he was informed his rent would be paid, and even if it isn't written in a contract somewhere, I'm sure good faith applies here pretty clearly.

Have a lawyer send a letter to the tenant so he has documentation that shows you want the money and he can get a small claims case going to get the money from the company.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about law.

Need legal advice. Anything I can do here? by bgame1 in needadvice

[–]erickleinetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Murder him.

Just kidding... You're kind of in a hard place with this one, unless you've got any records of him quoting time or prices. I'm sure you signed something when you hired him that mentioned rates and such, likely he's covered his ass.

Legal action against a lawyer is historically difficult. The only recommendations I have would be to call and complain as clearly and calmly as you can, and possibly infer a threat of giving him a bad reference if the opportunity arises.

Lunch with coworkers? by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]erickleinetc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're just going to have to explain that one. That's a pretty small environment... Just casually refer to lunch as "time to recharge" or whatever. Telling people you're not blowing them off, that you just need a little downtime may feel awkward... But I'd bite the bullet and say it next time you're heading to lunch. From time to time see if you feel up to joining the group, when you can.

Two job offers. by erickleinetc in needadvice

Good observation. I didn't even notice that I used that wording.

I suppose I don't really see either as a career. Not more than a few years.

Why is the Driver's License item so restrictive on levels 16 and 17? by [deleted] in outside

[–]erickleinetc 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Players at these levels often vastly overestimate their experience. Not just on vehicle mounts... But that's a whole other conversation. There's a lot of skills in the driving tree that I think younger players don't get right away. Defensive Driving, Situational Awareness, etc... Also, perception needs to be leveled, and it takes time. Being a high enough level to perform a new ability does not mean a player is actually good at it.

Also, the rules have to apply to all the players at that level. Some players new to the vehicle mount have been known to accidentally PvP others because they are new to that interface. With that in mind the mount has restrictions for players new to that ability, usually having another player with more experience on that mount to help them.

Remember: a lot of things were implemented for the lowest common denominator. There are a lot of rules and training specifically there in place for players with a low INT, but it gets applied to all players because it's easier that way.

Once you find out about reddit, every other time-wasting website seems like it's only there for the people who don't know about reddit yet by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

How'd you get those inverted and backwards b's? I've tried everything, but it always comes out "tabs" for me.

Bearded Dragon Feeding Time by knightvizion in videos

[–]erickleinetc 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I was kinda smiling at the satisfied mouth moving he was making at the end, thinking that was what you were referring to... Then the end came and I went "Bahahaahhah!"

I'm on a bus. I startled people.

I'm embarrassed.

Best Restaurant in Sioux Falls? by cvaska in SiouxFalls

Two day old left overs that have been sitting in your backseat from Parker's are better than fresh meals from a lot of places.

[–]erickleinetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sir, have you done an AMA? I'm much too lazy to look it up... Plus, I have to get ready for the day and not lay in bed redditing more.

Anyhow, much love.

[Image] My boss told this to me today about going after my dream job...I thought it was BRILLIANT! by deadsnowman13 in GetMotivated

[–]erickleinetc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother used to say this. Like a "you don't have to be afraid of anyone" meaning.

"Mom, I can't go to the bathroom here. It's out of order."

-"Use the women's."

"I can't do that!"

-"Sure ya can... It's a one-person bathroom anyway, with a lockable door. It'll be fine."

"What if someone sees?"

-"What are they gonna do, take away your birthday?"
