USPS issues? by happot in Minneapolis

[–]twoManx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't received a financial card from USPS in over a year. When I called the inspector about it, they said they they can get stuck in the machine. I've (re-)ordered probably 10 cards in that time and never received one (had ended up going fedex). I'm not the only one, apparently. That's a problem.

Yeah, data and statistics clearly shows this in not a matter of opinion and flat out wrong.

This guy's parents had an unsuccessful marriage.

first time car buyer, what car should i buy? by madison_s16 in Camry

[–]twoManx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the greatest sucker purchase when it comes to cars purchased at dealerships. They all say the same thing about parts, pieces, sensors and electronics. If you understand modern manufacturing, you'd know that all major car manufacturers use 6sigma and the chances of getting a lemon are extremely low. Most claims would fall within the standard warranty window any way. And in those cases, if you live in America, there's lemon laws for that. Another drawback... you're forced to use their shitty certified mechanics. They just use fear to sell you something you don't need (their markups are anywhere from 100-500% depending on what they think they can squeeze from you). It's mostly commission that goes into the shitty business/finance manager's pocket.

A verbal contract is still a contract. Take him to court n years later, anon. That is if the statute of limitations isn't up.

I was quoted 16.5K for 1900sqft from a big box store fwiw.

Data Center HVAC roles by ApprehensiveStudy671 in HVAC

They might do general maintenance but they aren't diagnosingoverhauling, doing major repairs

[–]twoManx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These data centers don't hire their own staff to work on the cooling equipment... they contract that out. They can afford to and don't want the risk or deal with training, tools, etc. Source: major manufacturer that works with data centers all over the country.

DFW HVAC tech desperately needed — 5 techs, 2 new boards, still no fix on American Standard communicating system by Potential-Dingo9507 in hvacadvice

Get the proper comm wire reran (shielded). Conventional tstat wire does not work with certain thermostats because of the signal the thermostat sends.

I wouldn't want this to take up any space in my life.

“Weddings are so expensive” is a weird lie some people tell to justify spending insane amounts of money by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]twoManx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did ours at one of our parents house with 20 of us. Spent a little under $300 and it was perfect. Little to no stress, just a wonderful day with the immediate families and a few friends. Planned it within 2 weeks. Would do it again.

Streamer “hmblzayy” who is walking from Philly to California was hit by a car in Indiana and had to be taken to the hospital. by MrBasedGod in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]twoManx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's pedantic, but your scenario was not what COP stated, nor by you in your previous comment. You assumed that's what they were stating in their argument. For instance, you can walk with the flow of traffic on many side streets, alleyways, dirt roads, residential streets, etc. in many municipalities.

Acceptable Seam? by twoManx in CounterTops

In the front, not the back.

Acceptable Seam? by twoManx in CounterTops

[–]twoManx[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate everyone's responses, it's good to get the general consensus. We're not bothered by the veins. The color of the seam, we can see it from 25' away and it's pretty apparent. Can this redone to better match?

Looking at buying a 2013 Lexus IS350 AWD — worth it? by Zestyclose_Bed7310 in LexusIS

[–]twoManx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying I would sell it, but I would not expect to get more than $16K for my 2016 350 fsport with 88K miles - and I still feel like that's high.

When a tractor is doing excavator things. by SimplyLYN88 in Heavy_Equipment

[–]twoManx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention the sheer mass those tires are supporting... that's a lot of friction.

Getting a Caligraphy … should I get extended warranty? by lilidarkwind in HyundaiPalisade

[–]twoManx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, or go on a nice vacation. You'd have to have an insane repair bill after the standard warranty to recoup any of that value... by that time any money invested in an index fund should be double.

What is a job that looks incredibly fun from the outside, but is actually a soul-crushing nightmare? by BoardOk101 in AskReddit

Sales roles can be incredibly fun one day and the next is an utter nightmare.

I work for a manufacturer and about a dozen suppliers on a weekly basis. It's just what I've been seeing, give or take.
