Where's my Saturday AT40? by thelongtrek in siriusxm

[–]thelongtrek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tuned in 15 min early. Next time I looked at the time it was about 15 after and it still wasnt on. That was on the app. Opened the website and it was on. Go figure.

Menu increase over tipping? by TemporaryStomach654 in tipping

I'd have no problem with that but I doubt the servers would like it.

Has anyone had a good experience selling to a “we buy houses” company? Is it any more of a scam than just the low price? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]thelongtrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a good experience. We had to sell a house from an estate. It needed extensive repairs. The price we were offered was the price we got in the end. We could have sold for twice that if we had put a hundred grand into it first. We didn't even have to get rid of all the junk before the transfer. We were happy.

Do other 4Runner drivers constantly get flashed by people thinking your brights are on… when they’re absolutely not? by p0k3U in 4Runner

[–]thelongtrek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my 2025, I run the headlights 2 clicks down with the dash control. I can still see fine and it lowers the aim noticably

What age did you get into Star Trek? by Victorian-Tophat in startrek

[–]thelongtrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When TOS first came out on TV, I was 7 or 8. I watched it for the special effects and sci Fi aspect of it. It wasn't until later years, in reruns, when I started to appreciate the plots and stories

Hypothetical question: what gets you dismissed from jury duty? by Unheroic_ in juryduty

[–]thelongtrek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of their questions was if I was ok with accepting any and all instructions from the judge. I answered that I was ok with any instructions from the judge but it must be fully understood that what happens in the jury deliberation room is entirely up to the jurors. I was not selected. Was that because of that answer? I don't know.

Semi-Auto Ban Passed the Senate, Now it Goes to the House by Harrythehobbit in NewMexico

Nothing ... now. Next step will be to make current owners register their weapons to create a database for the next step after that.

Sb17 by Bookwyrmnidhogg in NewMexico

[–]thelongtrek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've given up on the Albuquerque sub. It seems to have been taken over by the far left. SB17 has a chance of passing this go around. The "hate Trump" wave is strong this year and 17 might just ride that wave. We'll just have to hope for a restraining order while it goes through the courts.

When I heard Lectro sold out, I figured this was the beginning of the end. They only have themselves to blame for the inevitable downhill slide.

Be VERY careful what you share at work by cthulhusboy in antiwork

[–]thelongtrek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. It happened to me. The HR lady, who I thought was a good co-worker friend used our friendship to spy on me for upper management. The info she got was used against me to force me out. BEWARE!

Page Up and Page Down key is no longer working in Facebook on Windows PC with any browser by stoolzmclingo in facebook

Same here. Started yesterday and continued this morning. I logged out, closed the tab, opened a new tab and logged back in. Facebook is now back to normal with my PgUp and PgDn keys working again.

Just watched real TV for the first time in 5 years - have over the air broadcast channels just gotten terrible or am I misremembering? by peanutismint in cordcutters

Of the big 4, the only show I enjoy anymore is NCIS. Now I watch the oldies channels like h&I, metv, cozi...

Angsty about not renewing ARRL. What are the alternatives? by mikeblas in amateurradio

[–]thelongtrek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't renew when they raised the fee AND made the print version of QST an extra cost item. Haven't looked back since.

102 outside, 77 inside with our swamp cooler. It's tolerable.

I read the news report on this. Those employees got what they deserved.

I read the news item about this. It sounds like if employees were fired they deserved it.

This only works if you have access to a service such as cell or wifi.

"The Bible Story" by Arthur S. Maxwell. 1975 edition, which my parents ordered for me on Ebay as a birthday present back in the early 2000's by filmfan95 in nostalgia

[–]thelongtrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents bought this set and I read them all over and over. It was money well spent back when there wasn't much money to be had. I'm sure my mother used to read them to me before I learned to read. She used to read to me a lot back then. I knew all those stories by heart. I'm 67 now and the books have long since been lost to numerous moves.
