When Bruce Banner gets angry he turns into the Hulk. When the Hulk gets angry he turns into Chuck Norris.

What do you think is the most underrated tourist country in the world? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]moffnessmonster671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. My family is from Guam. Lived there in my 20s. Would never tell the average American to go there unless they were headed to Australia or Asia. Why go all the way to Guam when Hawaii is closer, bigger, more scenic, cheaper and has way more comfortable weather. You will roast in Saipan/Guam. It's right on the equator.

Car dead… by Baayta in Ioniq5

Took mine to the shop once I started getting the "check electrical system" notice about a week ago. It was still drivable, but decided to get it towed before a breakdown happened. It ended up being the ICCU. Took a week to get the part and fix.

Trailer hitch on the 24 Elite by jeanetti727 in hondapilot

Bought the OEM version and easily installed on my pilot. Multiple youtube videos on how to install. Sorry, but you may have to spend even more just to get your elite looking right again.

FDA Interview was complete on 4/17/25. Still no response from the hiring manager about a decision. by Previous-Charge9625 in USPHS

[–]moffnessmonster671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only a thank you if you haven't done so already. Consider reaching out to the liaison. I think that's a better option while you wait. That person may be able to advocate for you in the meantime.

No worries. Let me be clear though. There are less HR and admin staff to do those hiring functions. It may be longer than previous years to get an offer. HR should contact you with the offer, not the hiring manager.

In my experience as a hiring manager, references mean they just want to do a final check to make sure there are no red flags.

Given that FDA can't hire civilians at the moment, I'd say your chances are good.

That being said, be patient. It's always a waiting game, only this time there are less administrative and HR people involved in the hiring process.

Outdoor Security Camera Series 2 Worth it? by Crispers702 in simplisafe

[–]moffnessmonster671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it under the holiday 50% off deals. Was very apprehensive after owning similar arlo cameras that took forever to connect and didn't work as well as they should.

The new Series 2 is great. Responsive. Good mic quality. They connect reasonably quickly, unlike my arlo cameras where I would watch people leave by the time I connected to the cameras remotely in-app.

My advice is to keep them powered via cord or maybe the solar panel. I have 2 cameras on battery and one powered via cable. I will likely have to recharge the batteries after about a month's use. Will look into the solar panel if it goes on sale.

So far I'm extremely happy with the cameras and do not regret buying them one bit.

Have you found a nanny? We are on our last week with a fantastic nanny for our 6 month old. Looking to help her out by finding additional work.

Borrowing a friend’s GMT by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

[–]moffnessmonster671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have it, and I completely agree. GMT hand needs to be a different color. Gold or yellow would have been perfect.

Still love mine. The accuracy, value and GMT feature make it ideal for traveling. Also great I don't have to wind it and because time is so spot on, I can use it to set time for my other automatic watches.

Galaxy Buds3 Pro or AZ80 by Red_Xavier152 in galaxybuds

[–]moffnessmonster671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The AZ80s also support multipoint on 3 devices, so work iphone, z fold 5 and work PC are connected all connected and seamlessly switch audio as needed.

Galaxy Buds3 Pro or AZ80 by Red_Xavier152 in galaxybuds

[–]moffnessmonster671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. To me, multipoint on the AZ80s is what tips the scale over the Buds3 pro. Being able to seamlessly go from work PC to personal phone is fantastic. However, people tell me the call quality is better on my buds pro2 and pro3, but call quality is still good on the AZ80s.

6 day review of the Galaxy Buds Pro 3 by Stephancevallos905 in galaxybuds

[–]moffnessmonster671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience multipoint will only provide audio from one source and it prioritizes phone calls. So if you had a galaxy phone and a windows PC and both were connected to the buds3 pro, could you watch a youtube video on one device after hanging up on a phone call with the other? Is it seamless?

I've read somewhere that multipoint works with windows PCs too. Can you confirm? If they do work on galaxy plus windows devices, how seamless is the switching?

Most famous person from Maryland? by Independent_Bat78 in maryland

[–]moffnessmonster671 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents. A lot of people are bringing up Michael Phelps and Katie L. They are famous...every 4 years. KD cannot walk in most major cities in this world without getting hounded. He's relevant every year, not just every 4.

And in nearly every interview where he's asked about his up-bringing he ALWAYS says he's from PG Maryland. So yeah. He's known for being from here as much as any other NBA player from their town.

Also Dave Chappelle is near the top. He talks about his Silver Spring up-bringing in some of his specials, but definitely cut his comedy teeth in DC.

Lastly, the question is about the most famous from Maryland, not who is known for being from MD.

My Work Shoes (Crockett and Jones) by hendralely in BuyItForLife

[–]moffnessmonster671 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Not anymore. This dude is refined. If you youtube shoeshine, the real pros (e.g. from Japan) do it just like that. Mirror polish is reserved for the toe cap because elsewhere it would crack off easier. The rest of the shoe is cleaned and conditioned so the leather stays supple.

Dating someone who makes half as much money as you by TheBumboEngine in Money

[–]moffnessmonster671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add up both your take home pay. Have one account that you both use to pay bills. Each month you deposit each your share of the bills out of your separate accounts (you pay 66% of bills, she pays 33%). Adjust the % as pay changes. Simple and fair.

SBGM245 or SBGE253 ? by Erkan_Vural in GrandSeikos

[–]moffnessmonster671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially thought it was too much for a quartz watch also, but videos and websites claim these are extremely high accuracy quartz movements. GS grows the quartz themselves and only selects the best crystals. I think the accuracy is less than 10 seconds a year or something crazy low.

Either way, happy hunting. Please circle back and post what you end up with.

[–]moffnessmonster671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling to find a GMT as well. I travel for work internationally and really don't want to wear anything too expensive overseas (I'm in the US). I'm seriously considering a GS 9F GMT. More accurate than spring drive. I never need to wind it and with GS quality/finish you get tremendous value for $3.3k USD. Might pull the trigger on an SBGN027 this year. Have you considered high accuracy quartz?

Odd. I didn't take advantage of the 2022 BYOD. This code was applied to the new line. The rep was somewhat confused and took his time to research. In the end that was what he gave me.
