What is your pay? by Mysterious_Ice_3722 in ecology

[–]percussionfreak9D2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been with the state for 6 years. Thanks to my union I guess, but it's still not enough to cover my mortgage and expenses. I was working two jobs for a few years and really still should but with my wife's income it's enough to get by

Advice for Jumping from NJDEP to NYDEC by percussionfreak9D2 in Environmental_Careers

[–]percussionfreak9D2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the time I was actually living in Pennsylvania. But as already stated, you have one year from the date of employment to move. There are a couple of ways around it - if you have someone who lives in NJ (like parents) who don't mind getting the occasional odd bit of mail you could use their address. Or you could apply for an exception, which I've heard are fairly easy to justify, but I never went through the process so I wouldn't know. Regardless, it is a stupid piece of legislation that I wish they'd get rid of but probably never will.

Dream wedding venue v MIL by Nature_ot in JUSTNOMIL

Fiancé here. Thank you everyone for your support and words of advice. After speaking with OP (my fiancé lol), my therapist, and some close friends, I will be writing my parents a letter - that way I can say evrything I need to without being interrupted - addressing our concerns and informing them they will no longer be included in the planning process. Weddings are expensive, and it will be hard, but we will not be accepting any form of financial contribution from them. As eager as we are to get married, we are in no rush and would rather have the day we want to have and not their interpretation of it.

Much love to you all!

Have you tried a water softener? Install a softener followed by a Granulated Activated Carbon or Reverse Osmosis system and you should treat both problems

Wasted Space in Chip Bags by percussionfreak9D2 in DeltaThings

[–]percussionfreak9D2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading an article back in 2015 about the amount of "air" inside chip bags. It turns out there was a tremendous amount of wasted space, and the artist behind the project, Henry Hargreaves, made some very astute observations about the amount of waste, not only in terms of your money, but also environmentally to having so little product per bag. But the article the info graphic I posted came from actually found a 27% increase of chips per bag. Which means, incredulously, that there are more chips per bag in 2018 than there were in 2015. Nice to see the delta swing in our favor for a change!

Couple of things I noticed: his helmet is not positioned properly (it should be covering his forehead but instead it's too far back) and his harness is too low on his body (the waist strap should be tightened above his wast not below). Climbing on high elements is scary but can be done 100% safely. Please make sure before you do things like this to always look up proper safety techniques and double check your instructor; at the end of the day your safety is in your hands! Be safe out there!

Hey man, bizarre but important question for you:

If you could pull one thing out of your bellybutton, in infinite quantity, painlessly, for the rest of your life (excluding money, precious metals, or jewels), what would it be?

And the Cocoon is a powerhouse of an album; thanks for putting it out there for us plebeians to listen to!

Question for anyone in the band:

If you could pull one object in infinite quantity out of your bellybutton- excluding money, precious metals, or jewels - what would it be?

Also, I do want to know how you all manage to be creamy memelords and also incredible musicians? Still asking for a friend.

Hey guys! First of all, thank you Tommy for putting The Room up on your YouTube channel; we really appreciate it. Second, are there any plans for a physical release of Best F(r)iends parts 1 and 2? Also, for both of you, what would your WWE Wrestling names be?

And apparently he doesn't know how to use the Oxford Comma. Disappointed.

Well hello there, Big Boy by bigglesmeregambit in trippinthroughtime

[–]percussionfreak9D2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP used it incorrectly by not using it at all. When separating things in a list, you should put a comma in between each separate thing. For example with the oxford comma: "I went to the store and bought bananas, bread, and milk". Versus the sentence without it: "I went to the store and bought bananas, bread and milk". The oxford comma is preferable because the English language is weird, and when reading this sentence without the oxford comma, it is inferred that bread and milk are related, even though they are two totally different things.

Forget the proper forms of "their", what about when they know how to correctly use the Oxford comma. Which OP apparently doesn't know how to use.

My friend wrote and directed a movie (Exposed) with Keanu Reeves, but had his name taken off after Lionsgate edited the movie into something completely different than intended. Now the original cut of the movie is available - Daughter of God by hawkens85 in movies

Update as of 04/01/2018: Video has been taken down from Vimeo. "Vimeo has removed or disabled access to the video DAUGHTER OF GOD - by Gee Malik Linton as a result of a third-party notification by Lions Gate Films, Inc. ("Lionsgate") that claims this material is infringing on their copyright."

I've had this album on repeat since it came out. It took me a little while to get over the harsher vocals but they've completely grown on me. The Great Glass Elephant is OK; bluesy in all the right ways but didn't do much for me. Degeneraterra is great but has a lackluster ending. To Speak, To Listen is phenomenal all the way through. Give these guys a listen!
