    One of the only positive things about working at Amazon is they they’re actually competent enough to hire enough employees to cover unexpected life events. No joke, they hand out over an hour of personal time every single day, enough to take an entire day off after barely working a couple of weeks.

    I’ve been sleeping in nearly every single shift for a year straight, coming in late constantly, and management literally couldn’t give a single fuck. They even let you come back from breaks late and no one says a damn thing. I once stretched out a 15 minute break to 45 minutes, and nothing came of it. So long as your work gets done on time it’s no problem. They even fired the one manager who would actually do things by the book and get after employees. I couldn’t believe it when it happened; it’s almost too unbelievable to be true.

    The best part is that you don’t even have to call in; taking time off is done with an app and it always gets approved instantly. If the pay wasn’t shit (only $19.50hr), I’d never want to leave.







  • ¿Por qué no dos dos?

    I’m putting a tablet in my car because I want a giant screen for navigation and engine management software. Tweaking fuel maps, reading data from various sensors like oil and intake temp, calculating MPG, etc.

    FWIW I’m not replacing my stereo and A/C controls; I need my physical buttons. I’m simply ripping out the outdated factory navigation to replace it with something modern, with more functionality that will get regular updates. Best of both worlds.

    (And yes I’m aware that Android Auto is a thing but again I don’t want to replace the stereo with a screen so I’m taking this route instead.)









  • Depends on whether the batteries were hooked up in either series or parallel. Later GameBoys only needed 2 batteries but required the same voltage, so I’m guessing that the OG GB is wired in series-parallel.

    So in other words, you need at least two batteries to be good for this to work in the OG GB. Later editions need both batteries to hold a charge to reach 3V.


  • I sure hope not cause GTA Online is trash if you want to do anything other than Free Mode. I got so sick and tired of all the loading screens, disconnects, and empty lobbies.

    Even when they apparently “fixed” the loading issue, all it did was speed up the connection to Free Mode. Hosting/joining a mission still takes ages and nobody ever joins any of my games anymore so I gave up and went to FiveM full-time. If that gets shut down by anti-cheat then I’m going back to GTA IV. Cops N’ Crooks is more fun than anything GTA Online has to offer, anyway.

    I like them cause they cook faster and crisp better than convection ovens. A leaf blower, like the other person said.

    Air fryer, automatic pressure cooker, and electric smoker: three appliances that every home cook should own to step up their meal game. Your food will taste so much better.

    (I mean you haven’t lived until you’ve had ribs that were smoked for 2 hours, stuck in the instant pot for 20 minutes, and then finished off in the broiler or on the grill. No other method tops this technique. Or birria that was pressure cooked instead of the traditional stove method. And now I want ribs and tacos birrias.)
