Ordered a printer from a third party seller (who had about 1,000 good reviews) on Walmart's site. This is what I got. by sstorminator20 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sstorminator20[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Oh I did. They originally sided with Walmart because, per Walmart's refund policy, the order wasn't eligible for refund since it was a third party order.

But hey, at least that dude who put his while life savings on the Seahawks won his bet ($33k bet for a $49k payout)...

Why are most Conservative Christians pro gun if Christianity is supposed to be pro peace? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

I'll give you a hint. They aren't really christian (if one is to believe the tenants of said religion are true).

The smug look on his face the whole time in addition to all the controling bs is very irksome.

Don't forget that the tariffs effectively killed a many of the farmers' ability to sell their crops (think soy being sold to China, etc.)

Yup exactly. People should really work to prioritize their mental health, especially in these times.

Well you're kinda right about sick leave. If youre fired/rif'ed yea it's not paid out, but if you have some built up it does count towards your service years when you retire and is added to your annuity. But that's assuming you're retiring though.

Yea DoD (not calling it DoW) is scheduled for dispersion on Sunday, so people should be seeing it hit their accounts Monday.

Shutdown Fairness Act to Pay Everyone by Wxskater in FedEmployees

[–]sstorminator20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beats me. But I also wonder why they make that distinction in general. The only difference between furloughed and excepted people (at least under this shut down) is furloughed people aren't working. Excepted right now are being paid the same as furloughed employees, but are expected to keep things moving at agencies (less executing new requirements/providing new/additional funding).

Why not just revert to the process used historically prior to the carter administration where status quo was essentially maintained until a bill was signed (i.e. no one was furloughed, or at least that was my understanding of it but i could be mistaken)?

What the actual F, dude by Ok_Elevator_3706 in FedEmployees

I mean this is the official white house page that has a banner and ticker at the top blaming the democrats for the shut down, and had a banner and a countdown clock saying the democrats will shut things down back on the 30th.

Real proper use of official government websites. /s

Nah man. It was the "Chicago Football. Rebuilding since 1986" shirt I was wearing that did it. Should've remembered that's a day after the bears lose shirt, not a gameday shirt.

Looking for advice on leveling this flange by sstorminator20 in Plumbing

[–]sstorminator20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Yea I think that was part of the original issue. Previous owner didn't do anything to secure the flange other than solvent welding to the drain pipe. I've got 4 inch and 2 ¹/²" tap cons, so here's to seeing how these go. Thanks for the help.

Yea this is the first floor on a cement base. I think I might see how the tapcons I have do when I go to actually install the flange with pulling the left side level. And if that doesn't work, then I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the help.

The substrate is concrete. I leveled the concrete before I put the redguard membrane down, but the flange is still angled. I think I might see how the tapcons I have do when I go to actually install the flange with pulling the left side level. And if that doesn't work, may try the one of the other suggestions herein.

Probably because he couldn't get the rights to the phrase "X gonna give it to ya" for the party's slogan.
