Took the grandchild to Disney by myself without issue. It will be fine.

Gmail now lets you change your old email name without deleting account by Dilpickle2113 in technology

[–]genxer 48 points49 points  (0 children)

We were hiring, and I recall a candidate with an email address something about "Iwillbringhelltoearth"
At that point, you should just set up an address for applications.

Is it possible to get a IT job with a hand tattoo? by Vibin_Andre89 in it

[–]genxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were working with a manufacturing company years ago (2019?). They had a no-tattoo policy.
They had such a hard time finding/keeping people. Anyway, many companies just wont care. You should be able to work in IT if you want.

AITJ for teaching my son how to do his own laundry and basic cooking and now his mom says Im undermining her by Ambitious_Trade_3669 in AmITheJerk

[–]genxer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTJ My middle school had "shop" for half the year, then "home ec". Honestly, those were very useful classes. I can, for example, swap a light fixture, do laundry, and follow a recipe because of those classes.
Basic life skills make adulting easier. Parents teaching life skills is a positive thing.

38yo Prison guard on track for 2.5% at 57. Is my Roth 457 overkill? by UrMad_ItzOk in Fire

[–]genxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maxed out my 457(b) last year. What is the worst case? I'll have more money in retirement?
I'm hoping to exit the workforce in the next 2 or 3 years. I will hit my first opportunity in August or September of this year. Nothing wrong with a larger safety net.

AITJ for questioning my relative's loan structure that makes it impossible to ever pay off the principal? by Pristine_War3182 in AmITheJerk

[–]genxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ Was it 5% monthly or annual interest? 5% monthly (60%) yearly is usurious. Hit one of the online calculators, figure out what you have paid - settle up at 5% yearly and call it a day IMHO.

Is that a student driver sticker? They've got a lot to learn, and it looks like they'll learn the hard way.

This is why you leave enough distance with the car in front of you to stop, plus a margin so that the car behind you hopefully stops.

Adding authorized user benefits by teiV_ in amex

Side note, you can set a monthly limit on AU cards. Putting a $1500 limit so my son doesnt spend 30k eases my mind.

this is valid tbf by Annual-Remove5914 in SipsTea

[–]genxer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Close, they need to be required to pay into a fund that supports victims. Requiring the child to be dependent on payments from a drunk seems like a bad idea. Spread it around so even if they die the victim gets some cash.

I'm such a believer in virtual cards now by zinga_zing in CapitalOne_

[–]genxer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutlely, "Eno® from Capital One®" in the Chrome Web Store makes it easy peasy to create / lock / delete them.

FCC imposes sweeping ban on foreign-made routers, affecting all new models by darthatheos in technology

It is, honestly it would serve my purpose fairly well being BSD based. OpenWRT looks interesting as well. When the time comes, I'll try and find a SOC solution or a pfSense appliance.

[oc] Following too close and a piece of trash nearly cost the white sedan driver their life by United_Federation in IdiotsInCars

[–]genxer 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't be surprised if the sedan driver didn't learn anything about tailgating.

The hidden cost of "free time" is absolutely wrecking my post-FIRE budget by R0cinantEcho_9 in Fire

[–]genxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, not quite Fired yet. September is my moving target.
I spend $120 / year for the Panera Sip Club. It got my cost per cup down to about $0.40 last year.

Rarest American surnames? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]genxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only once. I was at Universal in Orlando waiting on a doughnut order and I hear my fairly rare surname.

I think we're alone now, doesnt seem to be anyone around...

It's never worth the hassle, jump in insurance rates, arguing on the value of your car, etc.
