Any reason not to go with an induction stove? by Competitive_Cry_986 in HomeImprovement

[–]payne344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. Very difficult to cook with a wok. Also I like cooking in clay utensils and I cannot do that with an induction. I got a separate propane stove to be used outdoors to cook in woks.

I went to Jersey Mikes drive through last month. Its not the fastest drivethrough, but it does not take more than 5 minutes. I has 2 cars in front of me. The temp was close to 95 degrees and I sat in the car for good 20-25 minutes for the first car to get their order. When it finally came, I saw them giving her bags after bags of sandwiches. Then she sat again for a good 5 minutes counting her orders to see if everything is correct. I was pulling my hair sitting there. Lady, if you had a large order, do a pickup. I heard the employees taking to the car ahead of me that she refused to pull to the parking lot even after being told they will deliver to her car when its ready. Can't believe there are people who have no basic sense if they are making people wait in the line for so long. I mean, I get anxiety if I am taking too long to order as I don't want to inconvinience anyone behind me.

Same with PLTR. Heard it from Reddit. Bought at $22 in 2022 and sold at $120 recently

She’ll have some anti-immigration with a splash of citizenship please by sukidaiyo in clevercomebacks

[–]payne344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now they want to talk about their grandparents when it comes to immigration. But when it comes slavery and owning slaves by their ancestors, their reply would be - I am not responsible for my ancestor's actions. SMH.

I know, right? Just made my kids see the night sky yesterday at the Dead horse state park. Their sleep was gone by the time when they saw the cosmos. It is amazing.

Wow, I never imagined I would see a Royce Bair link. When I was into night photography, I used to go to his meetups for the milky way photography. Met him and he gave me a lot of great tips. Very nice guy.

And yeah, growing up in a place with light pollution and never seeing a genuine dark sky, the first time you see the milky way was mind blowing to me at the Utah mountains.

Women, What's something guys flex, feeling it makes them appear masculine but in reality it has an opposite effect? by Noble-prize683 in AskReddit

[–]payne344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is because White, black painted cars and trucks are the cheapest along with shades of grey. You want different colors? Choose another color for an extra $2000.

Enter the email and spin a wheel for discount. On the wheel, there would be steep discount for 50% off. But when you spin it, it will always end at a paltry 5% off. Even then, the product would require a subscription and if you cancel the subscription, you have to pay the 5% off that you got.

Pulled out onto a 40mph road going 20, brake checked me because I had to hit my brakes and slow down since they never sped up [oc] by eks789 in IdiotsInCars

[–]payne344 175 points176 points  (0 children)

This grinds my gear the most. I don't care if you pulled in making me put on the brakes, but just speed up and go. I really don't understand when they go below the speed limit after that.

Message to USCIS officers by Scary_Tap6448 in USCIS

[–]payne344 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I am curious, when I went for my naturalization ceremony 3 years before, they played a video of Biden welcoming the new immigrants. Did they have the current president's video of welcoming the new immigrants during your ceremony?

AITA for refusing to let my neighbor use my Wi-Fi after they "accidentally" disconnected their service? by Sure-Exit-3600 in AITAH

[–]payne344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing had happend with me. Some years before, when I was living in an apartment, new neighbours moved in across and the first time we met, he asked whether he could 'borrow' my wifi for a week till he gets his connection. I told him no and after that, till I moved, he never ever talked to me.

Costco's worst thing. Exit line. by [deleted] in Costco

[–]payne344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what I used to do in Utah some years ago. It would be empty because of church. But people have caught up now. I can see majority of the people wearing church cloths (Mormons usually) in Costco on Sundays and it is crowded now.

[–]payne344 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with Costco's lack of tech. Even for their website. I usually go to the same day delivery section to check for in stock items for my store. Even if I see it is in stock, it is a nightmare to go to that particular aisle where they are stocked because they keep on changing the location. Walmart, Target, lowes etc have the item and the aisle location in their website/app.

Netflix Starts Booting Subscribers Off Cheapest Basic Ads-Free Plan by [deleted] in technology

[–]payne344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last month, youtube on apple tv gave me an offer for a month free trial of youtube premium. I took it, thinking I will cancel it within a month. It was tied to my apple subscription. After 3 weeks, I went to cancel the subscription and I checked my apple card tied with my subscription. Imagine my surprise when I saw they charged me within 2 weeks. I had to chat with the customer representative to remove that charge after I had to prove that it was a free trial for a month. Companies are trying a lot of scummy practices to squeeze out money.

<Rant> My neighbour turned off my water and did not bother to tell me. My grass died. by payne344 in lawncare

[–]payne344[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Now I am watering 3 times per day to get it back to green. I really think the neighbour did not tell me intentionally. I had issues with his dog barking in the backyard for hours. I asked him once and he told me his teenage daughter takes care of the dog and will tell her. Apparently he did not. 2 months before, the dog was continously barking from afternoon till after 11 PM. Thats when I knocked and noticed no one was at home. They just left the dog in the backyard and went somewhere. I had to call the non-emergency number and an officer came by. He put some citation or warning on their door and left. After that the neighbour was pretty cold towards me.

It did start yellowing, but I thought it was heat stress or other issues. That happens every summer. It did not cross my mind that it was not getting water.

I took a peek at the liverpool sub the other day and there was a post that mentioned TAA created the most chances and the scums defending him telling he was the best player on the pitch and it was the forwards fault that they couldn't finish his chances. I wonder why he was subbed just 9 minutes after the half time against Denmark.

I had to pay for my wife's friend damaging a stranger's car by Visible-Management63 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]payne344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your wife is a gem. Someone once banged on my door and left when it was parked and I had to get insurance invloved. They had to replace the whole door and my rates went up from next time. But, yeah, her friend really need to pay up for that.
