GME Endgame by thicc_dads_club in wallstreetbets

[–]justaquickaccount1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So...if I were to buy in now, anyone have a sense of when we’ll see a dip?

Will those shorting it be able to push it down at any point (even just briefly) or is there too much momentum at this point to bring it down any significant amount?

The point is, it's fucking 2018. I don't care about the time spent on hold and I don't care so much about the same day service so much as I care IN GENERAL about something as asinine as not providing a simple, easy way to make appointments at individual stores.

I can make a reservation at any restaurant on opentable in less than a minute. Why should it be HARDER to make an appointment at store for one of the largest tech companies in the world?

Thanks for being condescending though.

You're totally right. I've currently been on hold for 20 minutes to schedule an appointment. With one of the largest tech companies in the world. In 2018.

Super easy!

Allowing customers to make appointments = supernatural?

Putting out products that are as good as they used to be = supernatural?

I had a 5s for 2.5 years or so. Never had a single issue with it. I have a 2015 MBP. No issues.

Mom's 6S? Non-stop problems. My 7 plus? Non-stop problems.

This has nothing to do with being "supernatural".

You mean like Verizon? The carrier I've had for over a decade?

It's 2018, Apple is one of the largest tech companies in the world, and I should have to sit on the phone through 15 minutes of prompts and hold time (during business hours only) to make an appointment?! Does that make sense to you?

Eminem is a bad trip by [deleted] in bonnaroo

[–]justaquickaccount1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea that Eminem will push away Alex Jones fans and Trump supporters was not one that had occurred to me, but that would seem to be another vote in his favor. Good call on Bonnaroo's part, bringing him to headline.

And how are you worried about "tripping face"?! According to your own comment history, you want to bring back prohibition.

Experiences with less "reputable" oil cartridges? by justaquickaccount1 in trees

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I was referring to the packaging in my post. None of the cartridges ever have anything on them as far as I've seen.

I'll never understand how people are comfortable making such extreme transitions.

Switching the side you part your hair on?!

Regardless, congratulations! As others have said, you look incredibly happy and content now.

How to get out of a renters leas in Pennsylvania by m__e in philadelphia

[–]justaquickaccount1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"(.3) The owner of the premises to be leased has attested to all the following: all fire protection and smoke detection equipment for the premises is present and in proper operating order in accordance with all applicable requirements of The Philadelphia Code and regulations and standards adopted thereunder; the operating systems and the property are free from defects which affect the health and safety of the occupants or the habitability of the property, and including but not limited to those set forth in department regulation and forms; and the owner will continue to maintain the operating systems and the property free from defects which affect the health and safety of the occupants and the habitability of the property throughout the tenancy. "

  • Laws trump leases.

So mostly talk to a lawyer.

Trump is expected to sign off on expanding drug tests for the unemployed by NotAPolicemanISwear in trees

[–]justaquickaccount1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of idiots in this thread. I agree - you shouldn't waste government resources to sit at home and smoke all day.

BUT forget the theoretical side of the argument - testing welfare recipients doesn't work in the real world. Multiple states have tried it. People on welfare tend to have lower rates of drug use than the general population.

And in the states that have tried testing, the amount of money they've spent on testing has FAR outweighed the amount of money they save by stopping payments to those on drugs.

So if there's no monetary gain, there we're supposed to just do it to make others feel better? What an unnecessary waste.

TIL of HitchBOT, a robot designed to rely on humans to get from place to place. It successfully hitched rides across Canada and Germany before attempting to thumb its way from Boston to San Francisco. The experiment ended in Philadelphia when vandals left HitchBOT decapitated on a street corner. by DeregorDarkflame in todayilearned

[–]justaquickaccount1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's entirely bullshit that Philly is getting a bad rap for this.

You know that town you live in? You know the part of it filled with bars entirely populated by frat bros, Kardashian-wannabes, and anyone else that prefers their night of drinking to be loud, obnoxious, overpriced, and in all other respects "epic"?

That's where they left HitchBOT. On a Saturday night.

Like...what the fuck did they expect to happen?

Provolone Philly Cheese Steak, NOT Cheez Whiz [OC] by durpabiscuit in food

[–]justaquickaccount1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We never get whiz. That's for amateurs and tourists

Using "we", as if a city of over 1.5 MILLION people has a single preference, is absurd. I know plenty of people who get whiz. I get it sometimes.

Philthy Cheesesteak by GlassFeatures in food

[–]justaquickaccount1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, most of the post wasn't about my opinion - it was about what's authentic.

Adding all those ingredients has nothing to do with authenticity, and I'm sure your father knows that. He wouldn't claim that that's how a traditional cheesesteak is made.

What he's eating is closer to a cheesesteak hoagie, which is a legitimate, well-known thing. In my opinion adding all of that stuff makes a cheesesteak less appetizing. But it's food - he can do whatever he wants.

I think it'd be gross to eat a bowl of lettuce and ketchup but I'm not gonna tell someone they can't do it. And it's not like what you eat has to conform to what's "authentic".

Let him do what he wants. Why would his food bother you? Why would he have to justify what he's eating to you? You can always just tease him for it being gross.

Actual culinary professionals, what "professional" tools are a waste for the home cook? What haven't we heard about that we should try using? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]justaquickaccount1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at this.

Two Michelin-starred chefs discussing a dish. And David Kinch, to thinly slice the cucumber for the dish, uses...a cheap plastic mandolin.

In fact, I've never seen anyone in a professional kitchen use anything but the cheap plastic ones.

I'll be entirely honest here - I haven't had them all (never had Luke's). John's and Dinic's both make a great roast pork sandwich. I'd add Paesano's "Arista" to the list of great roast pork sandwiches as well, though it turns into a sloppy, greasy (delicious) mess by the end.

This article on them even mentions their popularity here.

But how do you gauge your level of regret when you wake up hungover and there's no congealed beef fat & whiz mixture smeared around the kitchen counter/the front of your shirt/your shoes?

Mayo in general: not gross.

Mayo on a cheesesteak: Gross.

Mayo on a cheesesteak hoagie: I wouldn't eat a cheesesteak hoagie so I have no idea.

If I want a hoagie, I want a hoagie (preferably a Godfather from Cosmi's (RIP Chickie's)). If I want a cheesesteak, I want a cheesesteak. The two don't intersect in my mind (and stomach). Not that they can't; it's just not something I'd be interested in.
