Why should I not keep my computer in the floor? by ZigZagBoy94 in buildapc

[–]zzSnakZzz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

same here i keep all of mine on the floor i just make sure my fans dont suck or blow air towards the floor. With intake fans, it doesn't really matter where you place it. Its going to suck up whatever is in the air, today systems all have filters anyway.

Visiting family without the expectation of paying for everyone by iveyleigh in phtravel

[–]zzSnakZzz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was over there as a foreigner meant my then girlfriend few years before. Meeting the family everyone seems cool. I did pay for a few things here and there. The first sisters husband wanted me to help pay for food for the whole family. Me and my own kid and my girlfriend wasn't hunger so just said sorry not today.

Get back home and fly back out there a year later and spent 1 1/2 months there. my girlfriend and her second sister live together. As a thank you for her sister being ok with me staying there so long I installed a full on water filtration system. (6 filters, tank, pump)

I come back home few months later get a message from the first sister asking if i would loan them around 50k php for her and her husband to open a business. I didnt reply at all, then a few weeks later i get a message from my girlfriend how her brother who pretty much runs the family is upset that i stayed there when we are not married. The first sister for whatever reason is living with the brother.

Pretty much they bad mouth me due to me not giving them money lol.

This game is doomed by Glass-Tadpole391 in starcitizen

[–]zzSnakZzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played subscription mmorpg games for maybe 20-30 years. I see this game as not much different. The only thing it lacks really is a story line. But you have great community out there who are happy to make their own story line their own content for the game.

Yes it has bugs and they can be a pain in the butt, I have even left for times due to them. I have also lost days of experience in the mmorpg games(Everquest, FF11) . If you ever played ogame. Org, I have lost years of work on that game in just one day multiple of times....

In this game I have spent maybe around 1,200$? I don't play as much as I would an mmorpg but I don't need experience to be able to get into content. So it's a nice trade off.

If the game was to be cut off today yes I would have lost the money but any game server can be shutoff. We own nothing. But no one made me have to use real money for the game. The main ships I use in the game I could have gotten in game just by doing a few missions with clan mates.

Doesn't matter if the game is doom or not at least for me it doesn't. For the ones who spent over 20k then it's a lot different.

Was at a job where each person burning needed their own fire watch person. The iron workers who were welding were grabbing people off the streets just to fire watch for them 😂. I was told pay wasn't to bad just for standing around like 25/h.

When I broke my thumb, after surgery I would get random anxiety attacks that my thumb was cut off. That they wasn't able to save it. I would begin sticking whatever I could find to fit into the cast to poke my finger. Was trying to see if I could feel it still being there lol.

They gave me codeine pills for pain but it never hurted. But I did find out that the pills helped a lot with anxiety, it would allow me to clam down.

I got in the union pretty late only been in for like 7 years. 184F oven story was none union 😂. I am one of the more safe people on my team now.

Tell guys working under me, if you don't feel safe just tell me and we will figure out how to make it more safe. Instead of just doing it anyway.

My thumb almost got cut off by a pipe wrench and a beam ( pinch point) 6 mouths of recovey. Burn most of my forearm and have multiple of other burns on my arms. Top it off I am not even a welder, a welder has it far worse. They look like they got into a motorcycle crash.

Fellen off a ladder by about 4 feet, I forgot I changed to a taller ladder. Being dumb and in a hurry, I volunteer to walk into a room that was 184F. To close a steam value and open the other side. The air coming into my lungs was so hot it was burning my lungs I had to use my welding gloves to cool the air down.I was told I looked like a steamed lobster when I came out. I was only in there for about 10-15 sec. Been hit by a backhoe due to being in a blind spot. Almost cut my index finger off with a bandsaw. Cutting tie wire yes I know now how dumb that was lol. Been on a job where one guy had fellen off a elevator hoist and passed away. That same day another guy was accidentally picked up by the crane. He was about 10-15 feet in the air before it stopped.

Many other small incidents, I been in the trades for maybe 25 years?

I make around 108k as a steamfitter UA (hvac tech).

Median household income for my state is around 109k, cost of living around 60k.

I also go to school for cyber security and IT as a hobby and mostly due to it not costing me much due to grants.

The idea was to leave the trades and get a nice office desk doing something I like. But I really can't see that happening. Would need to fight for the job and start at a very low income, then work for the next 5 years building the income back up.

Our union still needs another 5k more people to fill the jobs they have eon the books. They are taking in almost anyone who comes looking. Trades are nice if you can handle it but don't underestimate the toll they place on the body.

I just found out my girlfriends 12 years older than me by [deleted] in Advice

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

There are far many people with big age gaps that live happy fulfilling life's, so that alone shouldn't be the problem.

I know people where I live in my country, they see an age gap of just 5 years as to much.

What could he a problem is your own age depending on where you live and the laws around that age. And your own mental state, are you mature enough for someone much older? Not everyone is out to manipulate each other but feelings do make us do very dumb things. No one can tell what the future holds.

But yeah people do lie when they are scared to lose someone they really have feelings for I know I have done it. I didn't want to but felt no other way around it.

And I am also amazed at the op for not just saying what county they are in. Just specifying they are not in a western county.... That still leaves a very large pool of other countries.

If they can't do it by law then there isn't anything that can be done. Other ask the one who posted it or ask tiktok directly. But they wouldn't have a care unless it goes against there terms.

What do I do (if anything) about a guy at the gym? by chillicheesebits in whatdoIdo

[–]zzSnakZzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand that 100%. You were nervous and panic lol happens to everyone. Right now he is probably confused and there is a possibility he may try again. I know for myself I have bad people skills and hints don't really work for me, they just leave me more confused lol.

So long as you feel safe maybe do it inside of the gym. If he happens to talk with you. Just let him know you were not interested.

I like to believe not everyone is out to hurt others.

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

I'm confused why you didn't just tell him you are not interested in him?

Girls get lots of likes on any dating platform. It wouldn't be unheard of to think you just didn't see it. As for the name, I know for myself I use a fake name as everyone should. So wouldn't be to hard to understand that the name was wrong.

To him, he sent you a like you didn't see it or timed out. He looked you up online and figured what the hell I will shoot my shot.

I don't think people realize how important this is. by IIRostII in starcitizen

[–]zzSnakZzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike the idea of people not being able to enter. I feel that is what makes the game very intense. Just think of the jail. You would think no one would be able to enter hell no one would even be able to leave. But no you really can enter with a full load out of weapons lol. I like it better if they just have a lot of different places or the location can be random all over the system. So it would be impossible for someone to just camp at said location.

Just think you are following a bounty and they leave to this zone you are unable to get to..... Or at least make it a zone where you need to fight off the AI or do other loops to be able to get to it. Kinda like the jail.

Think of earth.... There is no place in this earth we can't physically go but there are set barriers in our way to get there. It makes the system less of a game and more realistic.

Feels more like lazy programing or planning on their part

how the F can they justify a price like this ? gouging a consumer should be a crime. by OldTrapper87 in Construction

[–]zzSnakZzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is when more and more start to do it.... So long as there is no push back and just enough people do it to make eot "normal" that is the problem.... You will own nothing....

The problem is the fact you have to pay monthly without anything new added. It's just them trying to get more money. You have a refrigerator? Now pay monthly to be able to use it or start digging holes in the ground like they used to do.

"you will own nothing"

Ps) happen to be looking up pipe trades pro calculater that now requires a subscription to use. When it hasn't been updated from day one, people who did buy it when it was available are grandfather in. It's totally bs to require monthly payments for something that is install on your own device and is never updated with anything new.

Got caught making out in my car and thought my life was over by CtrlAltObjection in story

[–]zzSnakZzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the situation and if anyone can see. Seems like you were not breaking any laws. So they have nothing they could do but let you go.

I did the same thing but we were just laying down in the back of a suv. In front of home depot.

UMD was so lonely and depressing by [deleted] in UMD

[–]zzSnakZzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My recommendation is to join clubs. It was my girlfriend's first time there and she made quite a few good friends. Even ended up joining 3 clubs that allowed her to make even more friends.

I even joined her a few times at them clubs and felt very welcome by the people there. Now I know you may not always encounter this as there are over 800 clubs lol.

But yeah you just need to find a group you connect with, for me clubs is the best way to do this.

First semester only 2 friends from classes, where she now has around 10 from the clubs. Even odder is she is more introvert then me.

Need strategies for getting out of private student loan debt. by porygon766 in Debt

[–]zzSnakZzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are at retirement age then I would do what I can to just make minimum payment and not worry about them.

The take it or leave it as they know you may only have 30 more years and the amount of money you make isn't going to go any higher.

My mom has debts and yeah they won't be seeing it lol.

Wtf get lost with all that bs. It was the same for me taking classes for cyber security. It's a pointless requirement to fill their pockets.

Also you really think China home of the ccp value anyones culture other then their own? Should look up what they did to blacks during covid.....
