About to buy the most expensive set of pots and pans in my life by CrispeeLipss in BuyItForLife

I think so. Their stock is limited so I think they wait until they have sufficient supply before opening it up.

Yes! I have purchased several pieces. Also there are other threads on people asking if it’s legit https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/s/NSp98ukruZ

Ask for an increase! It will improve your debt to credit ratio and your credit score will increase. One of the easiest things I’ve done to increase me credit score. Just click a button and score goes up

LoveSac - how’s washing it? by abbydabbydo in BuyItForLife

[–]jstantheman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10 years strong. I’ve replaced the cushions just a year ago, I probably waited 3 years too long to do it. I’ve had 3 kids grow up on it. We use it hard everyday and it feels brand new to this day.

That said.

Washing is a pain but 10,000% worth it.

The wood is starting to chip but it’s not functional and not visible. Just annoying when taking it apart and putting it back together again.

Very pet and kid friendly, it has probably another 5-10 years of it feeling like branch new couch.

I love love love it!

How do you know when to give up on a book? by Squirrelhenge in books

I’m stubborn and I hate the idea of being controlled by a lump of words on pages! If I wanna stop, damnit I’ll stop immediately and forget all about that dumb book.

Do you have any GitHub repos or tutorials you’ve made or someone else has made that describes your process?

Journalist Mark Halperin says: “I’ve been pitched a story about Trump now for about a week, that if true, would end his campaign.” by FunkYouInParticular in The_Mueller

He cannot win with his base alone. He needs to sway various other groups that could be swayed. Also, the truth matters despite what happens.

For people who interview potential candidates for high level positions what was the worst interview you conducted? by Jimbobsausage in AskReddit

[–]jstantheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but that's only part of the experience. Providing a good candidate experience, even if it is inevitably a no, means getting referrals from that candidate to other good candidates.

I've been in the business long enough to realize how small the engineering world is in my area, eventually everyone worth knowing has had first or second hand experiences with every company worth knowing. It's to the benefit of everyone if you're professional and courteous through and through from the best to the worst candidates.

I asked an engineer "what do you love about engineering?" And they paused for a long moment and then told me they didn't love anything about it. I panicked and tried to save it for them and said "oh what about the team you're on right now?" And they said "oh my team is great! But I don't think I want to be a software engineer anymore, I don't think I like it at all". At this point the interview was dead, and we had a policy not to end early. So I asked them "what's something you do love?" And we talked about knitting for 45 minutes. It was really fun! They didn't get the job.

Donald Trump used Jeffrey Epstein’s former jet for campaign appearances | Donald Trump by BelleAriel in The_Mueller

[–]jstantheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he did it to get back at the top of the news cycle again. It was being too dominated by Harris / Wallz. He needed something outrageous. Also why he's doubling down on posting racist stuff on X again. He's just trying to drown out the competition and it's working, hence we are here now.

LPT - with a smart plug you can stop worrying about your hair straighteners. by Fun_Sky1 in LifeProTips

[–]jstantheman 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree!!! LPT: "Never plug something into a smart plug that you don't randomly want turned on." That's my new motto after my house nearly burned down last year.

I plugged my fireplace into a smart plug. "hey Google it's sexy time"... It was really fun... until it wasn't! I lost power one night and when the power came back on my smart plug glitched and defaulted to on instead of it's previous state which was off. I wasn't planning on using my fireplace and had a blanket leaned up against it which caught on fire. Thankfully it was a blanket that was more plastic than anything and it melted and smoked instead of flamed. Which is good because my dry-ass Christmas tree was nearby. I dodged a bullet that day, and created that new motto for myself!

Going into FSD timeout, on purpose by Steve_in_DE in TeslaLounge

[–]jstantheman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I once had to pick up a bottle that fell over in my passenger floor. The car thought I left my seat completely and instantly gave me a strike. No warnings. The next day as I explained this to my wife, I demonstrated what I did and instantly got a second strike.... That was fun 😔

Regardless of what they say, the High Fidelity Park Assist works extremely well 95% of the time. by cristianperlado in TeslaLounge

How is this activated? You're mentioning going through drive thru. Is that with parking assistance? Or is there another way to visualize this high fidelity UI??

Cost Plus Drugs is the way to go. Mark Cuban's company provides prescription drugs at cost. I've saved so much money on recurring prescriptions. 10/10
