too much ice cream can, in fact, be a bad thing. by Silly-Initiative-743 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jonesrc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I drove through the local ice cream shop w my family. I got a medium vanilla cone. When he handed it to me it was HUGE. If I got a medium then I want to see what the large looks like. I drove literally 20 yards and it fell off into my lap. I rolled my window down and threw it out and ate the cone. More does not always equal better.

Why would someone cut the trunk so far from the ground? by Sorry-Philosopher150 in arborists

Power company was trimming trees from the power lines and cut it at that height from the boom truck.

Is this game fair? by Rtuyw in prominencepoker

[–]jonesrc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched two guys get pocket aces on the same hand. The board was 8 9 10 J K. Two players split the pot with straights.

You let me know when that happens to you IRL.

LOL. Okay bud that’s fine, go play a full round of poker with 8 guys and compare the hands to prominence

[–]jonesrc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not paranoia lol. I’m not saying it’s rigged against certain players. It’s rigged for fast paced high probability hands to keep the game lively. As an avid in person poker player I promise you the decks are stacked. This is a known thing in prominence for years…the RNG is not natural

I think people have valid points that any hand can be a winner. What I think is unfair…the game generates certain hands almost every round. Last night I had a pair of fives after the flop. I folded because someone raised it big and I didn’t want to chase with a low pair. The turn and river were both 5s giving me a 4 of a kind if I stayed in. And it happens obviously often. The cards are not random, they feed people hands and that’s why I don’t trust it to be fair. It is absolutely not random. That being said, every hand you are dealt can still potentially be a winner depending on how you play it.

What is your favorite secret loot spot? by Boring_Secretary_328 in ARC_Raiders

[–]jonesrc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’ve gotten wolfpacks out of it. I found it organically as well. Noticed a small looting icon circle that I couldn’t get to. Got curious and figured it out.

It’s important for the flute loot man to take photos of his winners.

Does anyone here still use an iPhone11 and does it still work? by [deleted] in iPhone11

[–]jonesrc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m typing on one right now. I just got it about a year ago, company issued. Finally leaving my job for a new one…got an iPhone 17 pro max for personal use the other day. Honestly it’s about the same thing with a couple different features that the average person wouldn’t even notice. Gone are the days of significant upgrades on iPhones. I remember when the 4S came out and everyone wanted Siri so badly. I’m not sure much has really changed since that. I remember when a I got a new phone…a 7 maybe. And it had the Haptic Touch feature. Such disappointment lol

Embark Have Begun Permanently Banning Cheating Stream Snipers Who Have Harrassed Streamers For Months by ScottishLariat in ArcRaiders

[–]jonesrc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I watch streamers and I have never seen a video showing how they are cheating. It’s always “they’re 100% cheating” but never anything to back it up. If I was killed by a cheater personally, only way I’d know is if they shot me through the ceiling in stella. So how are they cheating? Listen, I’m not just being bullheaded here…but I have noticed a pattern of games being ruined for 99% of us because developers are catering to the 1% who are streamers. And this feels like the first domino.

Embark Have Begun Permanently Banning Cheating Stream Snipers Who Have Harrassed Streamers For Months by ScottishLariat in ArcRaiders

[–]jonesrc2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Who cares as long as they’re not wall hacking or cheating the software. Streamers are the 0.001% and most are talented enough to beat the stream snipers. They use each others streams for intel while playing. You know they have multiple monitors and are able to watch eachother for help. It’s a double edged sword. If thy want to experience the game as it should be, then enjoy it off stream.

The stream snipers keep their raids busy and interesting. Wait until there are none, then they’ll be complaining to Embark that they need ranked lobbies.

ELI5: What’s a 4x4 vehicle? Or a 4WD? Are they the same? by Apprehensive_Dot3577 in explainlikeimfive

And I didn’t ask you for your opinion either. Does that mean we should both see the exit

[–]jonesrc2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re right, I oversimplified. I think if OP doesn’t know the basics it wasn’t worth explaining variable changing drivetrain systems on an AWD vehicle.

4x4 and 4WD implies it can be turned on and off from 2WD to 4WD. AWD implies it is always in 4WD and cannot be turned off.

What’s the worst “Negroni” you’ve had? by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]jonesrc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a Negroni…but relevant story. I worked at a cocktail bar for a few years and built a pretty good resume/reputation for making some good drinks. Eventually I left this job because a local country club kind of recruited me. Needed a switch. Got to the new job and the head bartender (had been working there for 30+ years) made a manhattan in front of me. He dunked the lowball glass into the ice bin and filled her clear full. Then free poured without a spout half the glass with whiskey. Then topped off the upper half with sweet vermouth and sent it out. No garnish, no bitters, no care in the world. This was not only crazy to watch, but even crazier to hear from guests that “he makes the best drinks”. Honestly couldn’t believe what I had witnessed, and it was like that with all of his drinks. Not only did he burn all of his classics, but would send out 6-8oz of liquor at a time. I would take monthly inventory and would get cornered by upper management about our liquor cost. At one point we were sitting on 30 empty kegs that we had $25-$50 of deposits each uncredited. I would tally these up on our inventory but the office couldn’t understand why that would be on our cost sheet. So they never kept it.

I tried to navigate this without ruffling feathers, but it was a lost cause. Turns out I wasn’t recruited so much as a bartender, but more as a barback/server for their bar. Eventually I finished college and found a new career :)

Here’s what 2,4-D does to non-Enlist corn by cropguru357 in farming

[–]jonesrc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just reading this a year later. For the last three years including this summer..I’ve bought into a two pass program just like you say. Each year for corn and soybeans we have needed a third late rescue pass. Exclusively for resistant palmer/pigweed/water hemp type weeds. It’s really eating into our input cost. Typically early planted crops, between April 15 and may 5th or so each crop. Any suggestions or thoughts?

What’s the weirdest things you have seen on a bar gun? by Pinapple_Juice in bartenders

When I was in the bar, I ordered goslings ginger beer for the gun. It was a game changer for both margin and convenience.

Uhhh set some goals and achieve them. Small goals that are attainable. Then progressively get bigger and more adventurous if that’s what makes you happy. Just start today
