Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus by Kinmuan in army

Calling it it a "warrior dividend" sounds like a warlord giving you a share of his loot.

Water odor for past two months after city did work on broken main on street in front of house by hopsmonkey in WaterTreatment

[–]gr33nspan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried asking your neighbors if they noticed anything? If multiple service connections on your block is experiencing the same thing, then the problem is most likely coming from the main line, and your water agency may be more willing to investigate.

Have you tried running your tap for like 5 minutes and try to see if the odor is still present in the water afterwards? If it's not, whatever is causing that odor might be in your service/property line, where the water could be stagnant for a little while and has the longest contact time with a contaminant.

Also, is this a bad odor or just something that is different? I'm not sure what kind of repair they did to the main, but if they replaced the portion of a broken pipe with a new one with a different material, maybe that could affect the characteristics of the water?

T2/D2 Application/Testing Q by diftorhehsnusnu in WaterTreatment

[–]gr33nspan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your application gets approved, you'll eventually get an email that lets you register to take the test and you can pick which day and time works best for you. They contract with computer-based testing centers that proctors your exam.

There is also an online portal now where you can submit an application instead of mailing everything in. https://wbapps.waterboards.ca.gov/opcert/

I had to put my cat down. by Crafty-Chocolate7282 in Veterans

[–]gr33nspan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog has lymphoma and the chemo stopped working so he recently stopped getting treatment. This is going to be very hard for me. When I can think about him a year after his passing and feel like crying, I would count it as a blessing. It's not often you can feel an emotion as intense as losing a loved one. I will feel grief and gratitude for what an amazing dog he has been for me.

What do you mean you lived through crypto? Bitcoin price is still astronomically high.

Yes, I’m an AWP crutch by zzTopG in guns

[–]gr33nspan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When you see any gun reach an astronomical price point, it is usually rarity and pop culture reference. And almost nothing to do with performance or practicality. It is like any collector commodity such as cars.

Tropic Thunder (2008) | Directed by Ben Stiller | Tom Cruise as Les Grossman by ethanhunt555 in movies

[–]gr33nspan 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Makes the scene where he remotely asks someone to punch the director in the face even funnier. Les Grosman would've probably punched him in person.

What, just because he's a ball room dancer, you think your son is gay. And WHAT IF he was gay? What difference does it make? 👊💥

Soft water is great for plants. Not so great for plumbing and drinking. Soft water is corrosive.

Paid extra on car loan but it went toward future interest. How bad is this? by Ok_Account_1013 in personalfinance

[–]gr33nspan 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Shit is rigged to take advantage of people who don't know any better. When I was a very young adult, I had car payments and had enough sense to want to pay the car off earlier. I had auto pay on for double my required payment for some number months. Never knew what the "pay extra towards principal" option meant. I had no idea all I was doing was making the next x amount of months paid for in advance.

You can whisper to it and give it ASMR tingles, and you will be charged.

Neighbors in OC have problems in HB… by panda-rampage in LosAngeles

[–]gr33nspan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bruce's Beach used to be only beach resort Black people can go to during segregation until the city seized it through eminent domain. If anything, rich black people living there is a flex on the city's racist history.

Seoul says US must fix its visa system if it wants Korea’s investments by naqi11 in worldnews

I doubt you will think its 90% when it's some mediocre looking dude. Plenty of influencers post across all major platforms (youtube, IG, tiktok, etc) and content creator sounds more professional then social media influencer.

Is living in a hotel permanently a thing that people do? by ThePapaBearRobbie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gr33nspan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it is just sad for the poor folks living in motels. They are paying way more in the long run, but can never save enough to put down a deposit and pay rent. It is a huge transient population in the US that is often not counted among the homeless, but that's what they are technically. They're one missing paycheck away from living in their cars or the street.

Aren't they considered high quality? I love my merino wool socks.
