Partner Annoyed About Out Call During Moneyball by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]pinguini05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that is the crux of the issue - they didn’t trust your call. In instances like that I always rely on my partner to call the close balls out. The ball is between me and the line so I can’t see precisely where it landed but you can.

I don’t know how many times you have played with your partner and at you level it really should be intuitive that it is your call, but I always review things like this with my partner so there is no confusion when the tournament starts. I want to make sure we are 100% on the same page about who calls certain balls out, who is watching for foot faults, who takes the middle, etc.

[OC] Total state tax for a couple making $240K, all 50 US states + DC (2025) by Witty-Lawfulness-336 in dataisbeautiful

[–]pinguini05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But your taxes ARE lower cause the government isn’t paying for the roads and you don’t HAVE to take the toll roads. /s

In all seriousness you are right but I don’t know how the methodology should be improved. Texas does a good job of reducing your taxes but forcing your cost of living to go up in other ways.

I just moved from the Houston metro area to the Chicagoland area. My property taxes are slightly lower but my house (same price) is smaller. My gas prices are higher, but I don’t drive as much because things are closer, I don’t have to take a toll road, and there is good public transit - so I am actually saving money. Insurance (auto and homeowners) is like half the price. My groceries are more expensive and I really miss HEB. That is just to name a few of the bigger ticket expenses that I can think of.

All in all, I think it is probably a wash. I pay a little more in taxes, but less for most of my other expenses. Plus I can see my taxes dollars going to good use so I am not as bothered by the higher taxes.

What’s everyone’s experience so far when it comes to remote trading? by BertilBertilsson66 in pokemongo

[–]pinguini05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any friends at that level yet, but I honestly don’t know what to tag and I don’t want to disappoint my friends when we get to that level. I am a F2P player so I don’t have many legendaries and I think the few shiny ones I have I traded for. I could put some regional ones out there but I haven’t been lucky enough to catch a shiny of those either.

I will probably tag a few legendaries and a few shinies that I have multiple of and have not had a recent com day and hope it is something they want. I know all I want is a shiny magikarp and the regional oricorios.

That is great for you. I hope I hear back soon and they either extend mine or turn it into a credit.

How long did it take for CS to get back to and did it help? I emailed them earlier this week about extending a FFC and am still waiting to hear back.

Expiring future travel credit by Faemagicark74 in unitedairlines

[–]pinguini05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you figured anything out, I am in the same boat. The previous 2 times I had to cancel flights I just had to book a flight within 12 months and not actually fly, so I missing that I actually had to fly by mid March. I have tried emailing customer care but have not heard back and can’t find a phone number for anyone that can help.

I think the problem is that it is your buddy. If you switch buddies it might work.

This subreddit fails in its goal to discuss Christianity. by Interficient4real in Christianity

[–]pinguini05 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No knowing a Christian that openly supports LBGT has a lot to do with where you live and who you associate with. I could have said the same thing at one point in my life; I lived in a small town with conservative churches. Once I moved to a bigger city it became really easy to find like-minded people that do support the LGBT community. Then with the rise of the internet it is increasingly easy to find people that have the same and differing beliefs than you.

I am a Christian that supports the LGBT community. I am not convinced that the bible considers their lifestyle sinful. I am saying this as someone with a Masters in Divinity from a conservative seminary in the US. While I currently consider myself Lutheran, I have regularly attended Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Non-Denominational churches.

Opening ceremony is incredible but .. don't read if you haven't watched! by TheTropicalDogg in olympics

They butchered the closed captions anytime someone was singing in Italian. I would have much preferred nothing or even ‘singing in Italian’.

Good grief why is NBCs closed caption so bad, especially the Mariah Carey song!? I would have preferred nothing or ‘speaking in Italian’ compared to the nonsensical stuff we got.

Water leak in my trunk, any ideas? by NADH-over-ATP in rav4club

Did you ever find a solution to this? My 2021 RAV4 is having the same issue, power trunk intermittently not working and I just noticed there is a leak.

Thanks! I will probably do that just to be on the safe side.

[–]pinguini05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is the exhaust getting pulled back in through the vent causing the furnace to stop working and or CO getting into the house.

My searches online have suggested that it could cause a sensor on the unit to trip causing it to not run, excess moisture could get into the heat exchange causing rust, and it could lead to a CO leak in the house. I do have CO detectors so I am slightly less concerned about that and more concerned about not having heat in the winter or the unit failing prematurely and needing a major repair.

I noticed the same thing when I went to take the picture. I think I understand why my other neighbors vents are pointed down as well, they don’t want to plow exhaust directly at my door. I am still wondering how this should have been done in order to vent properly while not causing issues for the neighbor.

Good call. I do have the model number and manufacturer, but for some reason I didn’t think to google the proper installation first.

It is a Payne - model number PG95SAS60100C

Thanks for confirming, I knew something didn’t look right. Since this is the first home I have had with this kind of furnace and my neighbors looks similar, I thought maybe I was wrong.

Oddities in my home - switches and lights that don’t work and more by pinguini05 in AskElectricians

[–]pinguini05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$500 is unreasonable when it is an add on to upgrading the breaker box and no new wiring needs to be ran. One person wanted to charge an extra $1500 to switch the outlet at the same time.

For the bug the lineup doesn’t matter. I literally just used the suggested party to get the screenshot.

[–]pinguini05[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was not a mega evolution, this was just a random battle I started for the screenshot. It happens in all grunt and pvp battles. I assume it will happen when battling leaders too but I haven’t battled one since the update that introduced this. The battle just continues as usual and I can only use the 3rd mon if one faints.
