I was a bartender for 8 years in various establishments, none of which allowed comps. It is largely not a standard practice. You either had to buy the customer the “free” drink, or, sneakily, use the “spill sheet” to record a shot, beer, etc. that was “mis-poured” or “dropped” accidentally. I used the latter, but…
Around 2.5% of children attending public schools in the US are homeless. For many underprivileged children, lunch (and breakfast if they are lucky) is the only meal they get. Several districts now have summer programs funded by wealthy grantors that serve food to children during the summer for this reason. I am sure…
I usually make my G&Ts with 1/2 tonic and half 7-Up or Sprite. Tasty!
Ha! Thanks! Perhaps I should have started my comment with, “I am Jack’s financial advice...”. Also, sorry for the delayed response. I always forget to check my notifications.
My biggest piece of advice is to develop a realistic budget. Several banks now offer a way for you to input a budget online or via apps, but I still use a spreadsheet to start out with. Additionally, Mint is a great tool for active tracking once you have developed your budget once you link it to your bank account.…
Beat me to it!
I had an Isuzu Trooper II and it was the best 4x4 I have ever had (including the Jeep Wrangler that I had). I put over 300K on it before the head cracked. I gave it to my Dad (a mechanic), he fixed it and put several more miles on it before selling. It had a small rust spot near the driver’s side rear window, but that…
This. Warranties can make longer loan terms make sense.
Those are the Theta II engines, which around 5% of them need replacement (google the issues). They are currently building a new USA plant for the Theta III engine that will replace the current lineup and should be available for the 2020 models. I have a 2018 Santa Fe in the shop right now after the engine seized. It…
Agreed. Apparently, to increase your money, you should become a freelance writer.
It wasn’t that satisfying when I was 10 years-old and my dad had me stripping paint from a ‘68 Firebird without wearing a respirator. Ah, the ‘80s...
Helping a stranded stranger...that is how I met my wife, so it worked out pretty well the last time I did it. It paid off to be a son of a mechanic.
Fantastic!
Yep.
Running backwards and drawing your handgun is not what you should be doing. You are increasing the likelihood of tripping, falling, misfiring, shooting yourself or an innocent bystander and ending up on your back where Stabby McStaberson is going to freely ventilate your entire body. Let him close the distance while…
Are you having fun with it?
“You yourself say there are specific instances where specific lubricants work best. And fail to recognize that is the very argument I have been making the entire time. WD-40 is a terrible lubricant advertised as general purpose and for any number of applications can be replaced with something that will actually…
Playdough was invented as a wallpaper cleaner. Just another instance of something being invented for one purpose, but can be used as another. Much like a water displacement formula being used as a lubricant.
So, now you’re stating that it is, in fact, a lubricant.
