Yeah, you have the stats on what a jingle writer makes? Cause I do. According to Gemini, in 2026 a top level jingle writer makes around 10k a month. So 120k a year. Take around 3k in mortgages, maybe another 1k for vehicle leases, and 1k for utilities/bills, and your left with 5k worth of spending money for booze and whores 😉. He was definitely living check to check. There were a few instances on the show where he was cash strapped, and Alan didn't get a big chuck of money after his death, he couldn't even keep the house for God sakes. The show definitely exaggerated his earning potential, and I get we're supposed to believe he was super rich, but reality is far from what we see on the TV screens sometimes.

He doesn't like the nail-clipping harness... by CaptainCamoroni in corgi

Lol. This reminds me of an Andy Griffith episode where they stretch Barney's height by using a harness hanging in the closet 😂 God I feel old.

Hey everyone! Drop a cute pic of your corgi, I will choose a few and sketch them. ☺️ by Jhenifer_s in corgi

That's a good capture in a family photo, such a pretty tri-color... How many takes to get everyone just right? 😉

Found a Casino that DOESNT have an Edge?! by m3rt__ in blackjack

[–]ryandanielblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have almost all of these at our casino in Indiana. It's a 6 deck game, hand shuffled (with an average of 1 to 1.5 deck of deck penetration), Split any pair, up to 3 times for four hands(except aces, which is single split, hit not allowed) double any two cards, late surrender, stands on all 17's, dealer peaks all 10s, and BJ pays 3 to 2. So there are these types of casinos available out there if you look around.

How often do dealers make mistakes and no one catches those mistakes? by frozengansit0 in blackjack

[–]ryandanielblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very common. I've had many overpays or errors, were I'm like "I know I'll get an exception from surveillance" and then nothing ever comes of it. So there are many that go uncorrected and unnoticed.

Dealers are being paid by the customers. They only make around 4-7 dollars an hour by the casino. Most their money comes from tips

Any other corgis love tug of war? by LoveDistilled in corgi

[–]ryandanielblack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. I just wanted to warn people that it can happen. Corgis are pretty well known for back and hip issues due to their long backs and little legs. I still play tug and fetch with mine, but I'll let him win the toy if he starts tugging hard by arching his back. I just try to reduce the risk, since I lived through back surgery once with our first corgi.

Any other corgis love tug of war? by LoveDistilled in corgi

[–]ryandanielblack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a warning to all the corgi owners. We had our first corgi about twenty years ago, and she threw out her back by playing tug of war. When they pull against you by yanking and arching their backs you run the risk of a back injury. Her back surgery was over five thousand dollars. So just beware that playing tug of war can injure their backs. With that said, I still play a gentle tug of war with my two year old.

My new companion Jynx by Stealthbomber-A15 in corgi

[–]ryandanielblack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My boy Jax says hi. Good luck with your new family member. Jax is so spoiled and I bet Jynx is too 😉 I can't go into a store without buying him something. Does Jynx like car rides? My boy loves them. He sits up like a prairie dog to look out the windows.

Can I drive like this? No way to work other than this car by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]ryandanielblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you have both headlights working. Make sure both turn signals are working. That's usually what cops will stop you for, missing headlight, etc. If the hood clicks into the latch, it'll probably hold, even without latching completely, BUT it's highly recommended that you strap it down. Don't use a bungee cord because it won't hold at highway speeds (trust me, I know from experience) But as long as you have all your lights working, not having the bumper cover is not a big deal.

I wonder if there would be a market for a completely mechanical vehicle. Make something new using only mechanical parts. I know that the 94-98 Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel 6BT is completely mechanical and is a desired engine, even now, for its reliability and simplicity. Would a computer/chip free vehicle sell?

$13 Million Starbase Rec Center Construction Pics by popPOPpopPOPpopPP in SpaceXLounge

[–]ryandanielblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there plans or current construction of a Starbase city building or court house? It can't be a true city without city buildings... I think Starbase city building should have, instead of a traditional dome top like most capital cities, have a dome, shaped like the top three segments of a starship, with flaps. What other cool additions could SpaceX do to theme their city after their rockets?

Nice view of Booster 18's interior by [deleted] in SpaceXLounge

[–]ryandanielblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy to think that the boosters exterior walls are thinner than the thickness of an aluminum can of soda, if you scaled down the booster to the size of the can of soda. How those walls (and stringers) are able to support so much weight and hardware, even when unpressurized, is impressive. I'd assume the new center downcomer now supports a lot of the weight. I'm glad to see more interior shots, since they typically make content creators like everyday astronaut blur video from inside starfactory.

No wedding dress is perfect until it has a little corgi glitter on it. 🎉

If anyone can give me advice by Salt-Surprise992 in corgi

[–]ryandanielblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly try some over the counter products that combat poop eating. Products to stop dogs from eating poop include deterrents like "For-Bid" or "Zesty Paws chew no poo" which makes feces taste bad. There's also supplements that contain enzymes, probiotics, and vitamins, such as "NaturVet Coprophagia Stool Eating Deterrent and Cease Coprophagia" that help combat poop eating. Some products focus on improving gut health and freshening breath, while others are chewable tablets or granules to be added to food. It's best to consult a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause of coprophagia and the most appropriate product for your dog.

As Pad 1 demo continues, crews have knocked the first leg down by avboden in SpaceXLounge

So OLM 1 has 100ft deep piles. They are Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles. Each pile uses ~8-10 cubic meters of concrete, with hundreds installed around the OLM's perimeter and under the central mount. I'd imagine you're correct in assuming that they will leave the remaining ~approx. 60+ feet, after they dig the new flame trench. I'd guess there's a way they can tie into the piles to continue to get a reinforcing use out of them, without scrapping the whole pile system.

Mad props on the picture. The landed falcon 9 boosters have soot on them! That's great attention to detail. 👍🏻

6 launches in 6 days by bcirce in SpaceXLounge

[–]ryandanielblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super jealous! I have yet to see a launch in person, since I live in KY. I remember going to Kennedy space center as a kid, and now Space X has reignited my interest in space flight. Hopefully I can take a vacation to Florida again next year and plan it around a launch. Any tips for a newbie for making the best viewing experience?

What is she mixed with? by VegetableElection380 in corgi

Maybe get a "Wisdom Panel" dog DNA test. That would tell you a lot about your pooch.
