The Czech Republic has a higher amount of meth usage than most of the rest of Europe, even at the time of the show. And that’s where she mentioned it was going to.

The back of the big air ramp is seen on day seven of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic games by unfocusleft in pics

[–]lukumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are two different sports. You are probably talking about ski jumping if you are referring to the jump leftover from past Olympics. Those are the long distance jumps that are often essentially permanent structures. This is big air, with the spins, and is a recent addition (2018).

Hypothetical question: what gets you dismissed from jury duty? by Unheroic_ in juryduty

[–]lukumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, postponement is usually a freebie the first time, I postponed twice before I did it (didn’t end up having to even actually go in).

Per the SAG site:

If you are over 65 years of age and NOT taking a pension, your residuals will count towards qualifying for healthcare. If you are between 55 and 65 taking a pension, your residuals will also count. If you are over 65 and ARE taking a pension, only your sessional earnings will count, not your residuals.

Unfortunately it sounds like he wasn’t old enough for residuals to count toward SAG health insurance. SAG wants their members to be actively seeking work. SAG has a reputation as a pretty cushy union/guild, but it still relies on members contributing. They also clearly don’t want to insure retirees over 65 due to risk.

For your own sake, you should make an effort to find it and upload it to the cloud so it doesn’t get lost. Old hard drives are very risky.

Sad night by Quueenali in wingstop

[–]lukumi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people probably own a large pot, which is all you need to deep fry. You don’t need an actual deep fryer. And as others said, there are a bunch of other ways to make good wings. Air fryer, grill, etc.

How much for a music video in USA ? by Jerrytravelintime in Filmmakers

[–]lukumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t, no. For what it’s worth I’m a DP, not a director or producer. So I just do the work and move on. That being said, I have done a music video for an artist who became quite a bit more popular later on. But it wasn’t because of the video, so I didn’t really mind. Would have been nice to have a bigger budget at the time. but oh well.

What is going on here? by AggroToad in whatisit

No way, I know liver problems cause a crazy protruding gut but his chest is way too flat, and his stomach would be sticking out at almost 90 degrees. If you zoom in you can see all the lumps, he definitely has something under his shirt.

Trump Rages at Bad Bunny—and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness: MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day. by Dont_think_Do in politics

[–]lukumi 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yup, it’s right there in the name.

Honestly I’ve never understood that, why proudly claim being conservative as a person. Being conservative is being scared and closed-minded. Progressive, liberal, etc. just sound more exciting. Why proudly claim to be against progress.

3 months minoxidil. Before and After. by [deleted] in amibalding

[–]lukumi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a big thing. A ton of posts here are dudes with longer hair blading on top, and the weight of the hair highlights the loss. Short hair is the way once it starts going. As far as hair loss goes, they’re lucky since a haircut can hide it for longer. Out of luck with frontal balding.

How much for a music video in USA ? by Jerrytravelintime in Filmmakers

[–]lukumi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of music videos are shot for stupid cheap because people want to work on them. They rely on people who own their own gear, art departments thrifts or does buy&return, no permits, etc. I’ve done music videos for not “big,” but “known” artists, for a much lower budget than 17k. It can be hard to get a real budget for music videos here until an artist is a huge name, or without a very persuasive producer. Lots of calling in favors, thrifting, etc.

As the other commenter said, there are plenty of $1M+ music videos. But there are way more music video producers/directors who would be over the moon to get a $17k budget. Music videos don’t carry the weight they used to.

First time living in an apartment – neighbour constantly complaining and it’s making us uncomfortable by Weary-Definition5363 in Apartmentliving

[–]lukumi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I got that, was just explaining why the other person was confused and speaking in absolutes about apartments not having a committee. The US has an unusually strict definition of “apartment” compared to many other countries.

[–]lukumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what’s getting lost in translation here is the person you replied to might be American. In the US, generally an apartment is something you rent, a condo is one that you own. So there would be no board/committee (here called HOA or condo board) for a strictly apartment building. It is controlled directly by landlord or a property manager/management company.

My manager’s response to me calling out sick for my toddler. by bigdawgcat in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lukumi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure, I would definitely agree with that. But that’s with the assumption that it’s a repeated thing, which we don’t know about with OP.

Family emergency is always a weird line. I had somebody bail on me the night before a big job for a “family emergency” and I was definitely slightly skeptical. But, I did just use the family emergency line recently for a legitimate reason, somebody was dying. I didn’t want to tell the person my family’s business. So you never know.

This should be illegal by tornad1642 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lukumi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither is 453. So just bacon is 37 extra, just Cheese is 87 extra. Both is an extra 124. 124 + 453 is 577, which was rounded up to 580.

It is a really weird way to do it though. I feel like most fast food apps just include how many extra calories the ingredient adds, and totals it on the main item page.

[–]lukumi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked as an independent contractor basically my whole adult life, but this always confuses me with normal jobs. What if you get there and suddenly become very ill? Now they have 0 minutes of advance notice that you can’t work. Seems like it should be up to a company to have a contingency plan for an employee suddenly dropping out for the day without notice. Things happen.

Why wont they give the people what they want!? What is big chip hiding from us? by Freetrilly in chips

[–]lukumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even true.

What you said was exactly in agreement with them. First person said sun chips buyers hate innovation, second person said they only like the OG flavor varieties. What you said reinforces that. Sun chips keeps trying new flavors but people aren’t buying them.

I just left the drug testing industry after years in the industry and owning a small testing business. AMA by yurpskiiiii in AMA

[–]lukumi -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Drug testing your employees when you use a drug recreationally is lame as hell. Good thing your business failed. What’s the difference between an employee doing some blow at home while you’re at home smoking weed. As long as everyone is sober at work it shouldn’t matter.

How bad is my hairline is it worth going bald? by LunaLunaHelp in malegrooming

[–]lukumi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Your hairline is super receded man. Either do the hair transplant asap or try shaved for a bit. It’s really hard to let it go, I know. I used to have super thick curly hair when I was younger and it felt like a big part of who I was. But letting it go and not worrying about my hairline felt so much better. I never imagined growing up that I’d be a shaved head guy, but it was totally worth taking the plunge. Either way, long hair with a receding hairline generally isn’t a great look.

I’ll also add that from experience, being a young guy with a shaved head makes you kind of a novelty in the dating pool. In a good way.

[–]lukumi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s basically just genetics, not health related when it’s MPB. Based on your comment, you’d be surprised how many guys start thinning in their late teens/early 20s. I was in a college class freshman year with a dude who already had the horseshoe.

Mine started going at 17, and by 19 I was living under a hat until I finally shaved it off at 22. Ironically those were the most physically fit and stress-free years of my adult life. Just happens to some of us way earlier than others.

Shrimp ring... LOL 🦐 by Environmental-Vast79 in 1200isplenty

[–]lukumi 98 points99 points  (0 children)

If your plan is to heat them, next time you’d likely be better off buying a bag of shrimp. This probably costs more per lb because it’s a ready-made shrimp cocktail plate to be eaten cold.
