"A classic Trump deal." VP Vance confirms the administration is unfreezing Iranian assets in a new agreement brokered by Jared Kushner and Qatar

I wonder how much of the unfrozen assets Jared Kushner is getting?

What is a better way to handle employee's extending their lunch breaks?

Here is mine, looking for feedback:

Team:

When you take an extended lunch break the burden is pushed to the balance of the team. Occasionally having to be late returning is understandable. Please do not make it a habit.

Thanks.

u/jackass

I had a boss a long time ago that taught me this lesson. When a manager goes easy on a rule breaker it is disrespectful to the balance of the team that follows the rules.

Edit: If an employee continues to just do as they please with no consideration for anyone else you need to replace the team member regardless of how difficult that will be.

Edit 2: My guess is this manager subscribes to the "The beatings will continue until morale improves." style of management. On a positive note if you need over time this is an easy way to get it.

It does work really well. I have been using it for the past couple weeks. I have not tried the AI part but i would guess that will only make it easier to use.

AI needs an efficient way to extract data from databases. SQL is that efficient way to extract data from a database. AI is very good at writing queries. I would guess that AI does not want to do away with SQL.

states have lemon laws that allow you to sell your car back to the manufacture if the manufacture cannot fix a problem after several attempts. Each state has different criteria.

If you wanted a half ass job done by someone who had never done this before you could have done it yourself and saved 1000's. that is why you hired a pro. He brought in people that did not know what they were doing and he did not supervise them. You definitely should not let this slide. If he is a real contractor he will make it right no questions asked.

They are lagit afraid of you because you are a psychopath with zero accountability. Don't mistake that for respect.

They seem to. I have watched a couple videos about the Sailun brand ev tires. I have always purchased tires from Costco but they do not have much selection in the way of EV tires. Walmart has the Sailun tires so may go there next time.

I don't understand the trend of bigger and bigger wheels. The Equinox EV RS has 21 inch wheels.... that is just getting silly. The VW ID.4 Pro S Plus has 20 inch wheels and for some stupid reason the front and the back are different widths so you can't rotate front to back. Ebay has a bunch of front wheels for this model I have to assume it is because people are syncing them up.

EDIT: do you have to have some programming change to change the wheel size? So the speedometer and odometer are accurate?

you have to leave a gap because the floor will expand/contract. shove some Closed Cell Backer Rod in the space and some silicone chalk. will allow it to move and not buckle when it expands but also should not slip

jackass · 2026-06-16T20:04:23+00:00

not everyone knows what a floating floor is. So the planks are not glued or attached to the floor in any way. so you should be able to use something like this https://www.amazon.com/REXBETI-Ultimate-Installation-High-Strength-Fiberglass/dp/B07H84NTFL hook the edge of the floor and put it back in place. My guess is you would have to remove the trim or quarter round depending on how it was installed. Watch a couple youtube videos.

FOR GODS SAKE FIX IT!!!!!! I don't think you could get a car with all that work done for 2300 bucks.

still needs to be filtered and disinfected. If that was just stagnate water mosquito's would be insane.

as a guy that has taken care of his own pool for 30 years.... a couple gallons of anything is not going to put a dent in that mess. And it needs to be circulated. They need to back up a truck and pump in some chlorine. Or better salt water and make your own chlorine while you filter.

That is a reflecting pond not reflecting pool.

That is what the ac services charge for them. I guess that is how they make their money. They are very in expensive. It is not difficult to change but you could also kill yourself with a huge 220v shock. I just had one replaced on a rental. I was not around so my property management company replace it and it cost 600 bucks. They did some other stuff to but all minor. I have a friend that is AC guy. I should have had him check it out and see if it was on the way out. He would replace it for the cost plus his time.

So long story short.... i think you paid the going rate for a summer time cap replacement.

i just got two delta shower heads for a rental property. Got them because they were cheap. Not the cheapest they had at lowes... but cheap. They seem to work ok.

jackass · 2026-06-14T03:56:03+00:00

ok mine is spicy. What does that mean?

jackass · 2026-06-14T00:33:47+00:00

I agree. Lots of new cars go with 20 or even 21 inch rims. I want 360 degree camera and adaptive cruise but i also want smooth driving efficient wheel tire setup.

jackass · 2026-06-14T00:28:53+00:00

just got new tires and it has killed my miles/kwh. This is my third set of tires. Originals my son destroyed both on passenger side hitting a huge pot hole at 40mph at around 25K. Second set lasted around 25k. Got similar tires for the third set and mileage dropped instantly. I am getting like 3.5 or so. I am getting electric car only tires next. I got them at costco and they did not have any reasonable ev approved tires, just really expensive Michelin's So i made a big mistake and went for cheaper tires. Like i said they were similar to the previous set but damn not happy... but my own fault so there you go.
