Cant say that I have. But I also dont think Ive been to a mall this time of year in over a decade.

Thats the same number from a flyer in the fractured but whole. It used to be a city wok recording. Obviously a number they have set up just to occasionally throw out as a fun little Easter egg.

Whats your work uniform look like? Is it just a basic T shirt and a hat or something a bit more professional.

I work in hvac and Im honestly surprised how often I feel like I can walk damn near anywhere without anyone questioning it.

My parents are getting closer to retirement and talking about moving into a lake house in Tennessee. I would honestly consider buying my childhood home if they do end up selling it. It just sucks that its so far away from my work and I dont think I could get the same type of job out there. Im sure I could find a decent job in that area....but I do like my current employer.

I thought most states consider a life sentence technically 60yrs. Which is why you hear about people getting multiple life sentences. Its not to be cute, its about ensuring that the sentence is actually long enough.

I certainly enjoyed it. Its not a GOAT tier tv show but I think most people would like it, assuming the whole gun running biker gang thing interests you enough to even consider it.

A single Reeses cup isnt going to kill a dog. Wont even make them sick unless theyre a tiny breed. While it certainly isnt a healthy treat for them, a lot of people in this topic are overreacting.

My childhood dog was a beagle and my mom would give him chocolate probably once a week when I was a kid. He never once got sick from it and lived 17 years.

People still push that 52 cent bullshit? Wow.

Stunning and brave.

Shes particularly upset because her contract didnt have a provision for getting extra pay when they need to do re shoots where as her costar (mark Whalberg) did, so he got an extra few million of something like that when they had to re do all the Kevin spacey scenes and she didnt. Now shes trying to push it as a result of sexism and completely ignoring the fact that maybe Marky Mark just has a better agent and/or is a bigger star.

Yep

I dont follow his channel but Ive watch at least a handful of his videos before. He does a good job of presenting the info.

I think if you want a more in-depth analysis on certain things there are better options as I have noticed he doesnt always give both sides to some things that are debatable. But he does a great job of giving the basic information and explaining things in ways that are good for new people just getting into the subject.

A guy in my town accidentally ran a stop sign and got T-boned. His wife died and his son is paralyzed now. Last I heard they were still planning on charging him with manslaughter. I for one dont see how that helps anyone. The dude obviously feels bad enough and I really dont think his kids want to be without both parents just because some people think he needs to be legally punished.

So now were trying to tear down candidates for having a reasonable stance?

I used to love mike and mike. I dont keep up with sports as much as I used to but even if I did, I dont know who Id listen to now that theyre not together on a show. I never care much for most of the other sports shows.

Dont stick your dick in crazy

Im more of a Molly Baz kind of guy.

So youre talking about a little window mounted unit? If so, pretty much just run through the trouble shooting page and if its anymore complicated than that, just replace it. You can always try taking off covers to see if a control board is burnt up, or the fan feels stuck. But its probably not worth fussing with too much.

Is just the A/C not working, or the fan/air handler in general?

A dirty filter can absolutely cause the evap coil to freeze up and your a/c unit will shut off on low pressure. In which case, just run it in fan only for a couple hours to thaw it out and change the damn filter.

If the fan isnt coming on, its either not getting power, the capacitor is bad, or the bearings on the fan motor are bad so its locked up.

Why did he get a C if he was correct?

Because things like grammar, formatting, well explained ideas and conclusions all go into the grading process. Im guessing his grade had very little to do with his professor thinking he was wrong.

Zero tickets for my first 12 years and then 2 speeding tickets within a few months of each other.

This was literally me as I came across the topic title and clicked on it

"Detroit style pizza? I've never had a Detroit style pizz--what the FUCK is that"

That is not Detroit style pizza.

At least not the sauce abomination. The crust looks right though.

Are people voting scrubs as a joke or are we all just in agreement the S9 never happened and S8 is the true final season?

Open carry laws are extremely convenient for rural areas, particularly around hunting season. But yeah, too many morons want to abuse the right and just do it for attention.

Culturally it is 100% a southern state. Anyone who claims otherwise has obviously not spent much time there.

Im currently under a boil advisory so this topic is just too triggering for me.

I work in Dayton and it has some pretty shitty spots.

But I live in a small town pretty far outside of Dayton and we have extremely low violent crime rates. Property crime is a little higher than average because of meth heads and opioid addicts. But theyre generally just trying to steal shit, I never feel unsafe.

Easily less than 5%. But Im usually getting a pretty simple order by myself and I dont make any special requests. Its been quite a while since Theyve screwed up my order.

Almost like there has been a series of mass shootings or something.

But most mass shootings are done with hand guns....

Thats a pretty rough way of calculating it. Im only in the 70th percentile for my age range.....but Im pretty confident Im well above that in net worth considering I have zero debt (yes, school and house are both paid off).

While I dont make a ton of money, I have quite a bit of disposable income.

With work at the end of the day youre just done and dont have to worry about it until next time.

That's not true at all for a lot of jobs.

Yeah, I definitely stress way more about work. I often still have to email shit out or try to look up info on an upcoming job when Im home.

Probably close to 10 years.

No cavities, no tooth pain or sensitivity, no issues. If you brush regularly and use mouth wash every now and then, it honestly isnt a problem.

I dont remember but probably. Hell, our anatomy class went to see the bodies exhibit which obviously includes sexual organs...and executed Chinese prisoners because ya know...science.

i'm generally left-leaning and think unions are generally good for the workforce.

but one downside that i experienced while i worked a job that required membership in one (grocery store) is that my raises were fixed and were purely based on how long i'd been there and had nothing to do with merit or performance. on one hand, this was nice because it meant i didn't have to worry about working hard. but it also kinda sucked because even though i ran circles around a number of other employees there i got the same raise they did. and because i was part-time my wage was capped which meant i was working as hard, if not harder, than my full-time colleagues but i was making $3-$4 less per hour than they were.

Thats pretty much my main gripe.

Obviously unions are great from protecting employees from a shit employer. But if you work for a decent company, merit based raises are nice.

Another guy and I started at our company at the exact same time last year (one week apart), at the same pay rate, we both had zero experience in the field, and were still finishing school. A few months ago he went to another company which is union and was making a couple dollars an hour more, which is cool. But his next raise is already determined when and how much. Where as when I had my 1yr review, my boss gave me a 20% which is now a few dollars an hour more than my buddy in the union makes, and still just slightly higher than what his next raise is supposed to be.

2017 though...

Why is it that anytime Hiroshima gets brought up, nobody ever mentions Pear Harbor?

imperial Japan gets villanized plenty for the atrocities they committed, especially throughout china

The US on the other hand is always seen as pristine no matter how horrific our actions are

Not really...example, this thread.

People have always debated whether or not it was justified or really necessary.

How much do you Americans pay in income tax?

Between federal taxes, state/local taxes, health insurance, and what I put into my 401k, my take home is about 2/3rds of my gross pay.

I love setting new rooftop units. Those are easy days.

I didnt pee once yesterday. I may have sweated too much and drank too little.

I can't drive manual but I want one cause they're usually cheaper and last longer

Is it ever annoying to shift all the time? My commute is on a very windy, up and down mountain road

Honestly once youve driven manual long enough, it becomes so instinctual that you dont think about it. Its like asking if its annoying to have to blink all the time.

I prefer driving manual because its more engaging and fun. The only time its annoying is when youre in bumper to bumper traffic or youre trying to eat fast food while driving. Pretty much every daily driver Ive ever had has been a manual. I enjoy it. Although I do remember early on when my dad was teaching me how to drive manual and I hated it. I thought it was stupid because most cars are automatic anyways and I was just getting frustrated. It does take time before you get to the point where its all second nature.

I visited Chicago in February years ago..would not recommend.

Driving by Wagner Ford rd on I75 was pretty surreal today. I didnt have to go out to Dayton yesterday so I saw some pics and heard about the damage but holy shit does it look so much worse in person. And its only a mile or so north of my work. My buddy said part of Beavercreek is pretty bad too but I didnt go out that way.

And it only cost the city of Dayton $650,000. Thats money they could really use now since half a dozen tornados went through town last night.

If you live in a rural area or a nice quiet neighborhood, Id say go for it. My parents had one when I was a kid and I loved it. Id just lay out there and watch the dog run around or read a book. Its nice and relaxing. I dont know how relaxing itd be if you have noisy neighbors or live in town though.
