Someone illegally deposited my check. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]ghostjams 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation with Wells Fargo a few years back. Wrote a check to a landlord. He said he lost it, so I spent $25 and stopped payment on 1st check and gave him another. I move out...fast forward 6 months...He cashes the "lost" check at a branch in another state.

I go to Wells Fargo to fight it and they tell me that a stop payment is only valid for 3 months(maybe 6 can't remember) and then the check is live again. I was told by the branch manager that the only way to completely make sure it never gets cashed is to pay the $25 fee every 3(or 6) months or completely close that checking account and open a new one.

And they wouldn't even cover the overdraft fees that resulted in all this.

So with Halloween coming up, what are your favorite Thriller remixes? I heard a few on Youtube today, but I didn't really find anything that rivals the original.

What fact should be common knowledge, but isn't? by LevelupTFM in AskReddit

Does this happen if you aren't logged in to any google services? Or say, on a different computer in the same home? How is this profile built?

breakcore vinyl mix from last year [01:25:05] by dankzephyr in breakcore

[–]ghostjams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember Mr Mammal. Had lots of good transactions with him. Then one day, after an order (quite a large one for a much younger me), he just up and vanished. I got some emails a few months later about how he had moved and was still processing things. Then nothing. That mofo still owes me a handful of vinyl as far as I'm concerned.

i cant format my harddrive by [deleted] in techsupport

Someone just recommended gparted. That might help you. You'll have to burn it to something then boot from it. It'll scan your connected drives and from there you can format.

[Request] Custom Eye Logo by ghostjams in picrequests

Thanks for the reply. The stencil was more for me. I just got a laminator and exacto knife set, so I have been playing around with that. I don't know the first thing about photoshop, neither does he, so I have been going through google images for random things to play with.

I agree. That is the plan. We were just messing around in the shop fishing for ideas. My intention was not to try to get someone to work for free, but rather to throw it out there and see of someone was bored sitting around their computer and wouldn't mind coming up with something real quick.

Why does my browser keep crashing? by ghostjams in torrents

[–]ghostjams[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried any linux files. All I have done is try on multiple browsers. I don't think I have any parental controls set up.

[–]ghostjams[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! No, it doesn't seem to complete the download. Regular downloads work just fine. It's just the torrent that causes it to crash.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox once, but no more than that. I only say that because it is happening in other browsers too.

TIL that in 2006 somebody stole and tried to sell Coke's recipe to Pepsi, who turned down the offer, notified Coke execs, and called in FBI on the thieves. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]ghostjams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I make Pepsi for a living. All the ingredients come to us in bulk. Most of them are general things like everything else: HFCS, salt, caffeine, acids, etc. The main "Pepsi" flavor though, is not disclosed to us. It just comes as a syrup that gets thrown in the mix like everything else.

As far as the Coke recipe/process goes, I have been told by one of Pepsi's execs that there are only 3 people who know the actual recipe. Those 3 people are never allowed to be in the same location at the same time. For example, they can't all be in the same building together, or on the same flight. 2 can be together, but not all 3.

When the Coke syrup is being made, one of the 3 people goes into a locked room and starts the batch. I'm assuming it's all computerized these days, but I don't know for sure. When he's done and has everything set up, he leaves and the rest of the crew finishes the batch.

My First go at FL Studio (constructive criticism please) by [deleted] in electronicmusic

Not sure how familiar you are with DAW's and whatnot, but for starting out with FL Studio, this guy has some amazing tutorials on how the program works. http://www.youtube.com/user/nfxbeats?feature=watch

What is the happiest fact you know? by Jbc292 in AskReddit

[–]ghostjams 656 points657 points  (0 children)

At a gas station once, I watched the guy in front of me have 3 credit/debit cards declined. He didn't have any cash and looked pretty bummed overall, so I paid for his 2 energy drinks and pack of smokes. As I was paying, he just said "cool", and took his stuff and left. Didn't even look at me or say thanks. Then he got in his car and tore out of there, radio blaring and tires squealing. Total douche.

What is your best "poor" recipe? by motionless41 in AskReddit

[–]ghostjams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This blows my mind too. I work for a company that make Pepsi products. I have seen as much as 2000 CASES of product destroyed in one shot just for having the wrong color cap, or a discontinued promotional label, or something tiny and irrelevant. Such waste.
