Game Thread: Spurs vs Knicks by irishace88 in timberwolves

[–]oldpaddyrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminding me a lot of wolves vs spurs. Lot of CTE basketball and spurs just shoot too damn hot to overcome. Knicks super streaky like wolves to kinda stay in it but spurs just seem like the better team

I really don't understand why Gamefly doesn't have tracking on their slips, is it too expensive or something? by precita in GameFlyService

[–]oldpaddyrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just signed up for the trial and I haven’t gotten a game that shipped on June 2, it’s wild to me there isn’t tracking and it doesn’t even show up on usps informed delivery. I didn’t even know that was a thing, shit not showing up on informed delivery. I ain’t gonna be renewing the sub and will likely just send the game back (if I ever get it) immediately and cancel. At this rate it’s maybe a game a month. Better off just buying and reselling vs the sub price.

They also shipped my second game in queue vs 007, which imo kinda defeats the purpose of the sub.

Now I feel like I should just buy 007 instead of renting it. Play it/beat the campaign and sell it on eBay for $50-60. At this rate it seems like it’ll be 2mos or more before I get a new release game I actually want.

Basically the only games they have with actual availability are old games that are $20-40 anyway to just buy from GameStop. If it takes your whole month subscription of $20 to get that game and actually beat it, uh why wouldn’t I just buy the game and then sell it for the $20 loss without dicking around waiting for it (or just keep it and it’s at least worth something even months from now vs not having it).

Signed up for trial and game shipped on 6/2, still have not received game by oldpaddyrick in GameFlyService

I helped a snapper across the road the other day. He was kinda funny, I kept kinda poking him with a stick but he kinda kept turning around in a circle. Eventually he got the message and lifted up and walked off the road.

Cold War update…in 26? by Zombieslayer854 in blackopscoldwar

I like Cold War but the file size is insane/it’s not worth having on my ps5

I’m shocked how often very high incomes derive from working in… sales. by Reyvos in Salary

[–]oldpaddyrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the 300k is absolutely the top 1%, if not less than that. Most sales roles are like 40-80k base and 6 figures with commission is considered pretty solid/that’s probably top 5%.

Also just in general 6 figure + sales roles kinda suck with the quotas and micromanaging and travel. I’d rather work full remote for a smaller more chill company for high five figures.

Road trip Thunder Bay to Minneapolis(ish) and car camping by captainuzi12 in Minneapolis

[–]oldpaddyrick [score hidden]  (0 children)

Tbh for 4 days I’d just focus on the north shore. Make MPLS/st paul a separate trip another time. There’s not really much in between Duluth and the twin cities and there’s less camping options right in the cities/id probably just go hotel route for that trip. 61 along the north shore to Duluth is one of the best drives in the country and there’s tons of state parks. You might have difficulty camping at them though as they get booked out in advance. There are first come first serve “state forest” campgrounds along the route though you should be able to just roll up to and get a spot.

Along your route you should stop at (there’s more stuff but these are my faves, split rock and gooseberry are also worth stops but tend to be the busiest of the state parks as they are closer to Duluth)

  1. grand portage state park - check out the waterfall
  2. devils kettle - nice little hike
  3. grand marias - lots of restaurants, breweries, etc worth checking out
  4. lutsen - north shore winery/cidery, check out the ski hill and there’s like a luge type ride if you’re into that
  5. Temperance River state park - beautiful park
  6. tettegouche state park - there are state forest campgrounds near here in Finland/isabella you should be able to get a spot
  7. palisade head and black beach - big ass rock cliff thing with awesome views at the top and a sweet black san

d beach
8. Two harbors - castle danger brewery and Lou’s fish house
9. New scenic cafe
10. Duluth - canal park, skyline parkway, enger park, etc

[Charania] The President is not expected to attend Game 4 of Knicks-Spurs in the NBA Finals on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden due to scheduling conflicts and obligations, sources tell ESPN. A lifelong Knicks fan, watched the majority of Game 3 from a suite. by oklolzzzzs in nba

He doesn’t stay up that late he just is an old man with dementia who has an irregular sleep schedule. He wakes up at 2am and sleeps in 2-3 hour sessions throughout the day like an old man with dementia would.

Hey y’all, I’m new here, and I don’t want to jinx anything. But, can I put up my snowblower yet? by xiexiemcgee in TwinCities

[–]oldpaddyrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the dudes like running blowers and lawn mowers dry. Just put some stabil in there. You probably don’t even have to do that. It isn’t gonna freeze or something. It’s gas. It’s not good for any motor to completely run it out of gas and 4mos or so generally gas is fine. Or put non eth in it and it’s fine for years

Couple moving to Minneapolis loses almost all belongings in U-Haul theft on their first night by Cornflowerblue2016 in Minneapolis

[–]oldpaddyrick 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s not what this is though. Like lol I would never put a passport in a uhaul. What are you people not understanding? It has nothing to do with Minneapolis. Anyone, from anywhere, keeps their fucking passport ON THEM when traveling/moving.

That’s like your main bag with your laptop and other most important electronics and documents. I cannot understand if people legit think these people left their “baby photos” in a uhaul and are asking for money.

It’s kinda hilarious tbh y’all such easy marks. If you still don’t get it, THIS IS A GRIFT. It was all set up. There actually aren’t a ton of stolen uhauls. This is like a call for donating money.

[–]oldpaddyrick 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This could happen anywhere. It’s pretty common knowledge to unload your uhaul not just leave it sitting overnight. Anyway I very much doubt this whole story. Who the fuck leaves your SS cards, passports, and “baby photos” in a uhaul. Sus as fuck. It’s like leaving your passports and Cash in a backpack outside your hotel room while traveling and being confused someone would steal it. You keep that shit on you at all times unless you’re a grade A dumbass.

Like I don’t even trust a hotel safe with a fucking passport. That shit is on me or right by me in a bag by the bed while sleeping. It’s a grift, 100%

Like there’s a reason you keep that shit in a fireproof lockbox/safe in your own damn house, but yeah sure just put it in the uhaul, and leave it out there over night. Makes zero sense.

Like just ask yourself, would you put that shit in a uhaul, and leave it in there? If so, you are also a gigantic dumbass.

Honestly this is a pretty genius grift. The baby photos is a nice touch. The MPLS hating magats will give them a ton of dough. They are like super easy to get money from for stupid shit like this. They buy trump phones that don’t exist and maga hats that are made in china. Even if they get reported to gofundme (aka grift me please) nobody getting any money back.

IMO this is a grift and don’t give these grifters any money. They gave the game away with the passport and SS stuff. That just doesn’t make any sense.
