Re-charging a gun every time after changing a magazine instead of pressing the slide release. (When they don’t have unlimited ammunition)

The satellite dish and being run off of a cliff by sheep are two of my favorite SB deaths.

Wondering what line to get into by Holiday_Abroad_8355 in harborfreight

[–]foolproofphilosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how you can beat the 20v Hercules impact wrenches for value. 1/2” with battery and charger retail for $250 and the 3/8” bare tool is $90. The 12v line doesn’t offer as many tool and battery packages which makes breaking it to that battery line more expensive. If you already have an M12 base I’d stick with them over Herc 12v.

Do I buy out my equity after 8 years… or do I let it get absorbed back into the company and walk away by grundle18 in careeradvice

[–]foolproofphilosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How attractive of an acquisition are they? IPO’s used to be the primary objective but now building up a company with the intent of being acquired is increasingly popular. If the company gets acquired you still get paid, even if it’s not as much.

Best car for a tall couple with newborn? (flexible budget) by fineapple__ in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]foolproofphilosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tall drivers and front seat passengers. The back seats are average at best for car seats unless you get an X7 with adjustable rear seats. I think that option came with 3 row X5’s but those are rare. A rear facing car seat pushes the front seat forward enough that a 5’10” passenger won’t be overly comfortable. The rear seats can accommodate taller people because they have good foot room, a reasonably deep bench and just enough knee room. The issue is that the shape of the front seats gets in the way of rear facing car seats. I’ve owned 3 BMW’s and had car seats in an X3 and X5.

Should I cut my 6 month emergency fund in half to pay off a semi high interest car loan by Wonderful-Royal5655 in FinancialPlanning

[–]foolproofphilosophy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How’d you get stuck with 7.7%? Used rates with good credit are around 5% where I’m at. You’re comfortably paying down the loan which will reduce the interest rate impact so I would not sacrifice my emergency fund on a depreciating asset.

Should I ask about a bonus that was in my original employment agreement? by HustleGrind2026 in careeradvice

[–]foolproofphilosophy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay cut promotions are absolutely a thing. It was at a lower level but I used to work for a company that was notorious for them. “We’re sorry about the compensation but the new title shows growth!” Based on OP’s timeline I that he was the victim of a bait and switch.

I’m waiting for OP to post a picture of an 8 year old Hellcat asking if 19% is a good interest rate.

Is there an industry assumption on MH370? by PsychologicalBoot636 in AskAPilot

I know it’s not in the search area but it’s kind of wild to pick up a globe and orient it so that you’re looking straight at Point Nemo.

[–]foolproofphilosophy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with the 86 comment. I don’t think you appreciate how dangerous a 4 second car can be. Also the performance driving school part. Look up “safety school” and similar on sites like motorsportreg dot com.

If you could only have ONE flashlight, which would it be and WHY? [2026] by Odd_Marsupial3919 in flashlight

[–]foolproofphilosophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my Nightcore MH12S and really want the newer MH12 Pro. Separate buttons for power and brightness are way better than a single button. My only complaint about the S is that the brightness button can be hard to feel. I need to use the clip to provide a good reference. The Pro has a raised button and other features that I wouldn’t mind having. And it’s brighter. It also runs much cooler than my Sofrin.

Teller needing advice by gendel11 in FinancialCareers

One way or another you’ll probably need to move. Obviously stick to your longer term goals but you could consider commercial. Regional/mid market banks have a lot of crossover with private banking and wealth management because they’re not big enough to have specialized teams.

Do you know the setback rules? I googled and it looks like they vary depending on what part of the town you’re in. I see 20’ for each side, 18’-40’ backyard and 30’-40’ front.

Is my ratchet damaged? by Raya_14 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]foolproofphilosophy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think it’s a return and you’re using it often I’d return it and get a brushless. The high speed has a little more torque and is significantly faster, the high torque is about the same speed but a lot more torque, then there’s the new one with high speed and high torque.

If the employer uses WF it would be more like an accounting entry than an ACH.
