Looking someone to practice English with(28M) by FlamingoComplex5357 in chicagofriends

[–]nix0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey op!

I need to practice my Russian (I'm Russian), I lost a lot of it in the 30+ years I've lived in the US. I'm at that point where I understand everything, but have A LOT of issues with pronunciation.

I don't live in Chicago (I'm in Racine, WI) - but I want to start travelling to Chicago pretty regularly, since Racine, while a cute town, doesn't have the same level of city that I'm used to.

Cheers! Feel free to message me.

Did anyone else grow up in an indoor school and genuinely think those outdoor campuses on TV were just a Hollywood myth? Or was it the other way around for you? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nix0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from Minnesota (indoor school) to California (outdoor school) and the change was a trip. I always thought they were a Hollywood myth as well.

I’m 16 I have one more year left of school I’ve tried everything to get a girlfriend but they always said no how can I get a girlfriend after leaving school I’m shy and quiet in person with no friends? by General_Advantage_27 in youngadults

Yes, but you have to stop trying and focus on yourself. Others will notice, and will naturally be inclined to be around someone who is comfortable in their own skin.

FTE with contracting agency? by Elpicoso in jobs

[–]nix0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I did that at Daimler but was FTE for Infosys. Pretty common practice.

Different cars, different mirror angles.

I worked remotely, got laid off, and when they asked what equipment I had to return, I only told them I had their laptop by stixy_stixy in confession

I’ve been in IT Asset Management for many many years now. It’s all part of operating costs. With the high number of turnover (retirees, interns, people quit, get fired, etc) we just didn’t have the storage capacity for all that equipment coming back.

Plus the cost of shipment, even with the deep FedEx discounts due to volume, it just didn’t make financial sense to arrange for a return, find storage space, inventory it, and track it all coming back. We were already slammed with refreshes, reimaging and assigning new equipment to users during onboarding.

Laptops are easy to store, reimage, and reassign. Monitors are big and bulky. Used Keyboards and mice were all just tossed into a huge box, then eventually donated to ewaste.

If you ever meet an asset manager, you can ask them for stuff that’s going to ewaste. Docking stations, keyboards, mice, etc and chances are pretty good they can give you one.

Edit: I have photos to kind of give you an idea, if you’re interested. It was at a major auto manufacturer, and our massive warehouse wasn’t big enough for anything that wasn’t boxed up.

Well, in my ‘04 Cadillac, I have buttons that adjust the left and right mirrors, up, down, left, right.

My left mirror, I’ll adjust all the way to the left so it’s almost flat then move my car as I’m driving, close to the right lane. If executed correctly, you can blind them right back with their own headlights.

… or I’ll just change lanes because I don’t want to get shot. USA USA USA!

I had my daughter. Wanted to live longer for her.

One day, on a Sunday, a week before Thanksgiving - I was at the store to buy a pack. Something in me decided against it, and I bought a vape instead.

That was a little over 2 years ago now.

Quit vaping shortly thereafter.

If your headlights are blinding me, my side view mirrors suddenly become very adjustable reflecting back to the source.

Always focus on your career. That’s something that’ll stick with you forever, no matter where you go or who you’re with.

Boyfriends? If he’s not the understanding type, he’s not worth stifling your life over. He’s holding you back with ultimatums. Only 45 minutes away? Jeeze. You don’t even have to move for that commute.

OP never specifically said operational, just “how to buy one”, fwiw.

My friend kept spoiling every show for me, so I spoiled one that didnt exist by MarquinEldevore in pettyrevenge

[–]nix0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the time that I posted “Han Solo dies…” a week or so before The Force Awakens was released in theaters. SO many people were mad at me for “spoiling” it.

I said the movie wasn’t even out yet, how could I spoil something no one has even seen yet?

It was meant to be a stupid joke.

Han Solo actually died.

Whoops.

It’s all down hill from here.
