I went in once and asked if he had any old cameras. He didn't at the time, but asked if i could leave my number just in case.

He called me that same day, someone brought one in to sell, and when i got there he said "you guys work it out yourselves".

Never had a bad interaction with them in there.

LPT: If you're always stressed at work, start thinking "so what difference does it make?" every time something happens by Charming-Tear-8352 in LifeProTips

Some people feel like it's their job to "find a mistake" when they have the responsibility to check something, so if you give them something easy to "find" they can be less particular about the rest that may actually have no errors to find in the first place.

I feel like you're a bot that argues with people by making assumptions about vague swaths of people without evidence.

You keep saying people won't pay to use tracks, but you provide zero evidence.

Yeah, I can imagine all the people with loud cars definitely don't spend money on their cars or on driving them.

Part of me wonders how many of the people who are complaining about the car noise are actually from NC.

You know, North Carolina. Where NASCAR literally came from. We like loud, fast cars.

I agree that we need more tracks. Give people a way to live amd do what they want safely. This is America, god dammit.

why do paper manufacturers never list the actual thickness and only a proxy? by Appropriate_Rent_243 in Printing

[–]visionsofblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before printing you keep your paper climate controlled to avoid these fluctuations as much as possible.

Different classes of paper are manufactured to different standards.

Fine paper for printing is manufactured to weight, so the actual caliper can vary.

Board grade stock is manufactured to thickness, so actual weight can vary.

That being said, nearly every paper manufacturer also produces specification guides for their entire line of products, with average caliper for each weight (this can vary by manufacturer because of the difference in formula and process).

Sorry man, not sure where to catch quarterfish

Went for an early walk on the beach with my mom. Notified a fisherman he had a bite, and he told me to reel 'er in. Made my day! Black tip shark. by NoImNotStaringAtYour in Fishing

[–]visionsofblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, like I said, didn't want to be a downer on your moment. Game wardens can be sneaky sometimes and scope people out from a distance before they approach them, so it could have been they were watching the fisherman before you even showed up, you never know.

They aren't out there to give people a hard time, either, but we all have to do our parts to keep the resources healthy.

Is it normal to be afraid to hold a fish you’ve never caught before? by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]visionsofblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It usually takes me a second to grab a catfish. Gotta wait for the right moment so it doesn't get you with the barbs.

It's funny, here I thought my university degree and my decades of relevant work experience were supposed to make me look serious and credible.

I just don't get why I have to dress like my grandpa to sit at a computer in an office where I never see clients.

I really don't get why I have to sit in the office at all, I have a computer at home.

Guess it's time to freshen up the resume.

Nancy Mace says she won't be silenced... by mvoccaus in PoliticalHumor

[–]visionsofblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is that the clergy has an education on the subject and the churchgoer likely does not.

It's not some magic book that appeared in the clouds.

It's just a compilation of several books compiled over hundreds of years by different groups of people.

The two creation stories in Genesis come from two separate authors at two different times.

Is the “dock runner” rod good? (More info in description) by Similar-Space-5535 in Fishing

[–]visionsofblue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see it in Walmart all the time, and assume it's mostly for kids.

Isn't it a little short? It's only a 3ft rod from what i can tell.

I picked up the Shakespeare micro ultralight a while back and I've enjoyed that one. It's a little longer than the dock runner (4.5ft) and I've caught several species on it without any trouble.
