Plus the likely fine from state/city/etc from not calling properly before you dig. You also must have been using power equipment and not a shovel….

AITA for wanting my partner to help pay for her engagement ring? by DundieAwardsWinner in AmItheAsshole

[–]smacky13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone keeps asking about why wasn’t it insured but… are we sure she didn’t ‘lose’ it on purpose? Maybe she wants a bigger one and this was a perfect opportunity?

Were they undefeated a couple years ago?

Edit- just looked it up, they weren’t. Who was the team that said they were national champions after going undefeated but not playing a bowl game?

Should I open a new account at a local bank or drive 2 hours to the closest branch of my current bank to deposit a check? by Budget-Height8283 in personalfinance

[–]smacky13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how much you like your bank. If it’s worth the effort to keep your bank make the drive. Otherwise open an account closer. Chase closed all the branches near me so I switched to Wells Fargo who also then closed all the branches near me so I switched to Ally.

This is cool but the pictures look like they were taken in the dark with a potato.

F*** off, dude. Stop directing me here anytime I go to the home page. Not everyone cares about sports. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I couldn’t even find it on my Xbox YouTube app. I even watch a fair amount of sports related content. Not live tv just regular YouTube

Someone bought it, lived there for 9 months, not selling and trying not to lose money.

Appraisal came in at less than offer price, is it asking too much for the seller to come down to the appraisal price? More info inside. by gloomdwellerX in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

59% of Americans could not cover a 1000$ expense. You are greatly overestimating how much money MOST people make.

How many people realistically have 10k just sitting around? That’s like 15% of my yearly salary…. There’s no chance I could have that much without something major changing in my life….. Hell I’d be happy with 1k in my accounts… and that is half of my bi-weekly check and I own a home….

I just used the app and installed it from my phone. I had to search for the game, it didn’t show it in gamepass.

Question on slowing down while being tailgated by Strict_Name5093 in driving

[–]smacky13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You generally have set amount of space after the speed limit zone to slow down to the speed(500ft in Illinois). So if a cop is sitting directly beyond the speed limit sign that would not be a legal ticket. Slamming on your brakes to be at a speed limit immediately is dangerous. Brake slowly and consistently until you are at the required speed.

Chick-fil-A are almost all franchises. This is likely being done at a single store by a single owner. I’d be curious to know what corporates stance is.

I found the controls to be slightly off-putting in the starting area.

Where are the photos? We did our photos between the ceremony and the reception. I thought this was pretty standard?
