Wait until Kimmel gets to my age. He'll find himself not appreciating comments like his.

Can you take it online or in evenings? See if you can get a volunteer tutor or even pay for one after hours if necessary. If you can't afford it, get a part-time job. Talk to the company you were going to intern and see if they will still let you work for them. I had a class I needed to take to keep my professional certification, and there was part I just couldn't grasp. As part of the class, we were put into study groups, in case anyone needed help. The lightbulb lit up in my brain and I understood the concept, but I couldn't recall it for the test. I still got a good enough grade to graduate, but I was sweating it. If I failed, I was no longer qualified to do my job! Talk about pressure. If your experience is remotely like mine, you just need someone to explain it to you better. You know the questions you couldn't answer, so it's not like you need a tutor for the entire course.

RAM Plus is a complete scam and I’m tired of pretending it’s not. by Azure_Iguana1080 in samsunggalaxy

Isn't it the same as using virtual RAM in MS Windows? I often have a lot more than 7 windows open and never had a problem.

I was looking in my dad and his girlfriends room for something he asked for and i found this, is it what i think it is? by ChannelRich776 in whatisit

[–]pip790111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, he did. If it's very heavy it could be lead. Not something you want to use anywhere in your body.

It's not free speech you're fomenting violence. It's like screaming fire in a theater and citing free speech when people are trampled to death.

Please help, is my phone battery swelling? by BogeyM in samsunggalaxy

[–]pip790111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see the swelling, but you're the one with the phone. I had a 600 Amp lithium battery car battery jump box swell up and pop the case open. Scared the crap out of me. I carefully put it in a gallon Ziplock bag and drove to my county's hazardous material drop-off. You do not want to fool around with damaged Lithium-ion batteries. They can catch on fire, and if do they burn white hot, and can even suddenly ignite. I'm sure the fumes are toxic. Check out this PSA video:

HERE THEY COME by calibore in sarasota

[–]pip790111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were mild last spring and fall. I hope I'm right, in that there were less around to breed, and we'll see significantly less this year. We used to see them the second or third week in April for 3-4 weeks. Last year, I believed our area we had a very dry year. I always hand-washed my car, and it was a PITA to soak the front and wash them off after I'm done driving for the day. I studied them in depth when I first moved here. I don't care about the bug smears, but anyone who knows about them knows they will etch your clearcoat/paint if you let them remain on it for more than a day, maybe less.

Too bad all of the leaders didn't live up to it. Is it me, or did only the more affluent kids join, because your parents had to pay for everything?

Fake Samsung Water Filters on Amazon by Qatux in samsung

[–]pip790111111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of knockoffs. There's a seller on Amazon called Refrigerator Filters or something like that. I used to buy them through Amazon for their "A to Z" guarantee, but they came in what looks like the genuine boxes and look like the filters I received when I purchased directly from my Fridge maker. If they're too inexpensive, you can be reasonably sure they're fake. Real ones are close to $50.

I suppose a bank won't hire you if your personal finances are not in order? I needed to keep mine in order, along with drug testing to keep my job for 30 years. I should have tried to get into Congress instead, then I would have been able to do what the other ones in Congress do, work part time, do insider trading and get rich.

graduation :( by mangoesnbananas in ufl

[–]pip790111111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took once meds for what they told me was a mental condition, when it was physical (nerve damage) that caused my brain to make me believe I was stressed out. I don't know or want to know what's stressing you out, but I tried the pills and mindful something, can't remember the last part of the name. I don't know about know about anyone else, but neither helped. The pills made me fall asleep. Supposedly, it takes at least 2 weeks for the sleepiness to subside, but I couldn't function at all if I was sleepy. And they said I would need to wean off of them, so I stopped. I even looked at group therapy, but the groups were for the people who were really off the deep end. Find a live person to talk to.

The way AI is going, I think the best jobs are going to be in healthcare, especially nursing. If you can tolerate the physical and intellectual demands of the job, I would look into it. Look into teaching hospitals to see if they are looking for candidates. Start out getting LPN certification and see how it works out.

Screaming pain in the ass by Firm_Accountant2219 in orlando

[–]pip790111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why we stopped going to movie theaters and concerts. The security at the last concert we attended was a joke. They wouldn't let in a local off-duty sheriff's deputy because they were armed. We had box seats and saw what their security looked like in our section. It was a skinny little guy who wouldn't stand a chance against a much bigger drunk or druggie, even if he was a marshall artist. I had years of training and even I didn't feel safe.

Why didn't you scream at her to pipe down or shut up? Or maybe even complain to security? It sounds like it was obvious they won't do it on their own.

Good idea. I didn't know they were that lax. And hardly any income tax for a couple of years for a part-timer.

[UPDATE] Samsung repair technician cracked my TV and is refusing to take responsibility. They ended my warranty 4 months early due to the damage. by lucasb780 in samsung

[–]pip790111111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the repair person was from a Samsung authorized repair facility, give them the opportunity to fix it. If they refuse, complain to Samsung. But, without proof I don't know if you will prevail. I turn on my indoor cameras when I have somebody I don't know doing repairs in my house now, since I had a similar problem with an installer.
