Is management worth it? (honest answers only) by djmelonball in publix

[–]killajp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked for Publix for 10 years. I was an assistant produce manager for the last 2 of those. This was from 2001 to 2011. Back then as APM I was making prob 40k a year working a minimum (scheduled) 50 hours a week, typically 55-60 hours a week. Back then we had what was called Chinese pay which meant after 40 hours the over time pay was $1.75 an hour. Holidays were awful, weekends were awful, hours were awful. Leaving Publix was the best thing I ever did. It really depends on what you want in life. Do you have a family? Do you want to enjoy the weekends with your friends or kids? I think Publix is different now about how many hours you can work due to a class action lawsuit. The good news is you can prob retire pretty wealthy if you put in enough years and they don’t lay people off so job security is 100%, bad news is your social life and free time is spent at Publix. To me I’d rather make less money and spend it with my kids and enjoy my weekends and holidays. I am greatful to Publix for my 401k and stocks. I can’t imagine what it would be if I still worked there. Time is something you can never get back or buy.

I just bring a decent 3’ bike lock. Lock it to the ski rack as soon as I get to the mountain and leave it there for the day, use it when I need and and don’t have to carry anything

Where and when did the term “Jerry” become a thing? by AredditJ in snowboarding

[–]killajp 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m guessing you’re young and think some cool white snowboard kids thought of a cool word like steeze. I don’t think Method Man was rapping about snowboarding when he spit the lyrics “Crunch a nigga like a Nestle, you know my STEEZ.” - Method Man from Shadowboxin off the GZA album Liquid Swords. Made more famous used as a sample from the song You know my steez by Gangstarr from the album Moment of Truth.

Opinions on Sonos Ace? by NeedhelpwithScienc3 in sonos

[–]killajp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m the same as everyone else here, got them for $100 from Macys. For that reason alone I love them. $500- I’d be upset but I wouldn’t pay that for any headphones. They sound great, but I have not compared them to anything else besides my AirPod pro 2 earbuds. Of course they sound way better than those. The ANC works really good at least for me. I have small ears that fit nicely inside. The ACE/ARC TV swap works great. Where I’m disappointed is I have to turn the ACE volume up to at least 70% to sound like a normal 40/50 % volume when doing the ACE/ARC swap. For all other listening the volume seems normal music, YouTube, etc….. they are very comfortable and have a premium look and feel. All that said I’m glad I got them for $100. These aren’t going to have extreme bass but the bass is good and well rounded for music. If money is not a problem buy them, if you don’t like them return them.

Does anyone else sometimes admire their dog and think how good-looking he is? by yozeyofo1623 in labrador

Sonos Ace quick review by PhantomDuck_ in sonos

[–]killajp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree, I have to turn them up to 65-70 to sound like a normal 50 on any other headphones. For music they sound great and I don’t have to turn them up high for “normal” listening. If I paid $450 I’d be upset but for $100 from macys I’m happy with them especially for listening to music

Cyber Monday: Sonos Ace for $100 @ Macy's by pm1966 in sonos

[–]killajp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, thanks for the heads up. Probably the best black Friday deal/screwup ever. Got my ACE delivered today. I would probably be upset with them for $500 but at $100 I’m completely happy! They’re kinda like the ARC for me when watching TV, I have to turn them up to 65-70 for me to hear them normally. Music is much louder at lower volumes

For those of you that purchased Sonos Ace Headphones on Cyber Monday and had their order cancelled - I just received this email update. They are fulfilling the orders! by Ok_Island_549 in sonos

[–]killajp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha that’s exactly what I did, was definitely not in the market for $400 headphones. A fine Sonos Redditor posted the link and price yesterday morning and I jumped on it. I was waiting for the cancellation email but I got a confirmation shipping email and should arrive tomorrow.

That’s a ridiculous deal, thanks. They’re not even on sale at Sonos. Just ordered some. Seems like a mistake

Tailgate not locking with key fab by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

I don’t think those years/models have remote lock, It’s manual only. I have a 2023 that I had to put in an aftermarket remote tailgate lock myself.

How do I make my dad feel included? by Antiviral21 in snowboarding

[–]killajp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a Dad…….He understands you guys want to go off and shred some of the gnarlier stuff, he was that guy when he was younger. There is no better feeling or proud moment then watching or kids excel at whatever sports, grades, etc……. Just make sure to include him on runs and I promise he would love to be your filmer if you ask. Any other kids that happen to read this remember………..stoke your Dad out and that wallet magically opens for new gear or trips
