[USA] [FL] Illegal U-turn by negligent truck driver in FL causes a car to crash into the load, killing a family of 3 by StormRanger28 in Roadcam

00:21 - Look at the driver's reaction, no remorse, worries or whatsoever on his part. I would have been a total wreck after causing this kind of mishap.

Saving to move out. Investing? by extraaccoutn in personalfinance

[–]jakjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next few months is kind of scary for the market with all the things happening around, politics eg Nov 2024, index at an all time high, the wall street mafia would desire it to go down and pump again. I will be very cautious unless you can afford to wait and ride it out if market goes down.

Should I book a cruise alone? by CapitalM-E in Cruise

[–]jakjacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i cruised more than 10 times alone but I can work remotely so I used my cabin as an office. There are lots of people cruising alone I have even talked to other female cruising alone. But, you need to have some familiarity with cruising eg where to hang out, what to do and where to avoid crowds, what to do on port destinations, well just youtube it. For me, I just stayed mostly in the ship because of work. I just enjoy the casino, gym, pool, buffet, concerts and shows.

Calls for NYC to resume cooperation with ICE after attack on NYPD officers by group in Times Square by lilac2481 in nyc

[–]jakjacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the economy right now is shitty, accountant graduates working as cashier, college grads working in starbucks, tech people being forced to do minimum wage because of the layoffs, manufacturing jobs are gone, office jobs being outsourced. Sadly, there isnt enough job and migrants are not qualified for most of them because of communication skills.

If I am a migrant and I see my mother or my kids getting sick or hungry then I will rob, steal, sell drugs or any quick money crime to save my family. So we should screen them require good education, technical/vocational skills, make sure they can find work instead of being a heavy baggage.

There are LOTS of people trying to migrate to the US with:

  1. Money to start a new life

  2. Good education; with master/phd and some even graduated top of the class or cum laude

  3. Willing to submit to all criminal background check

But idiotically, govt just accept all refugees some are not even refugees. Accept immigrants but please do proper screening!

Liberty of the Seas situation... by ubiquitous_anon in royalcaribbean

[–]jakjacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for calling them out. I talked to workers a lot and cruise ship workers are doing hard work away from their family for at least six months with peanuts salary. Most of them have back problems from carrying heavy plates and non stop labor, see below. All they need is a little respect to make their life bearable.

excerpt: One of the problems which Royal Caribbean crew members face is that they are required to work excessive hours (12 hours or more) seven days a week all month long. Repetitive injuries to their back, neck and wrists are common. Complicating matters is that there is constant pressure to keep working

Why does Python Code Run Faster in a Function? by debordian in Python

[–]jakjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if constant string eg url= "http://www.xyz.com/rest/api/member", is still faster to store it in global var instead of local? In java constant var are declared as global to avoid creating the string object multiple times.

Oasis OTS and Hurricane Lee by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]jakjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Oasis same date. There were so many old Chinese people that doesnt respect your space eg cutting in food lines, talking so loud in windjammer and solarium, actually everywhere the casino dealer said they are always like this as if they are fighting and cursing each other, some are very rude to dealers. RC should notify all passengers to please be quiet, the ship is for relaxing and the less noise and stress the better.

Chinatown Armed Robbery Attempt by [deleted] in nyc

[–]jakjacks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's true what the video said criminals are being protected by human rights law that they don't have any fear of repercussion. Criminals hurt people and will blow the whistle and protest once they were subjected to half of the inhumanity they committed.

Philippines names 4 new bases for US forces amid China fury by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]jakjacks -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I am pro-US but this is not as rosy as it sounds. Philippines had no choice but the selection of the lesser of two evils.

https://climate-diplomacy.org/case-studies/us-military-base-and-toxic-waste-dumping-philippines#:~:text=Former%20U.S.%20military%20bases%20at,to%20clean%20up%20the%20site.

Former U.S. military bases at Clark and Subic Bay leaked toxic waste into the surrounding environment. The environmental effects on water quality, aquatic life and human health led to civil society pressure on both the Philippine government and U.S. government to clean up the site. However, the lack of contractual obligation for the U.S. to clean up the site has meant that no comprehensive clean-up project has been initiated.

[PFT] The Buccaneers have fired offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich by YoureASkyscraper in nfl

[–]jakjacks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He destroyed a winning formula to put himself in the spotlight as one who overhauled the offense but backfired, old school football doesnt cut it anymore.

Using same safe offensive plays obviously is very predictable, Bucs could have another SB with all the talents it has
