re: Chevron Loyalty App
Posted by CoolHand on 3/31/24 at 9:43 pm
I’ve started using Chevron as my vehicle manual suggests using top tier fuel (more detergent). The issue with Chevron is their gas is more expensive than other places. Not sure how much the loyalty program helps offset the price difference. It does seem to have the most discount of any program I’...

Was my favorite band in the late 80s/early 90s. This may be the only album where I liked every single song on the first listen.
However, due to what they became, I didn’t even have a desire to go to the Joshua Tree anniversary tour a few years back. ...
re: Ender-3 3D printer
Posted by CoolHand on 1/23/24 at 8:14 am
I’ve got an Ender 3 V2 as well and have it dialed in and working very well. Unless you enjoy the long process of getting it dialed in (I also replaced several parts), it’s going to be a headache.
For anyone wanting something working out of the box, Prusa or Bambu Labs are the way to go. ...
re: Lets Discuss the Orange Peel Theory
Posted by CoolHand on 1/19/24 at 5:19 pm
Why would I randomly peel an orange for someone without them asking? Why would they ask me to peel their orange anyway? This is dumb.
Does peeling someone’s orange mean something else?...

re: For younger workers, job hopping has lost its stigma. Should it?
Posted by CoolHand on 12/23/23 at 1:18 pm
I feel like if you don't change jobs at least every 5 years, you are leaving a lot of money on the table. Your biggest bump in pay will most likely come from changing jobs.
Most employers don't reward "loyalty".

Our USPS lady is now too lazy to bring the boxes to the door and just drops them in the driveway. This is away from any camera so can’t catch any porch pirates or verify it was delivered. ...
re: Old man rant - the new “low watt” light bulbs suck

re: Flexible Spending Accounts for medical costs - use it or lose it?
Posted by CoolHand on 11/13/23 at 12:57 pm
It was explained to me this way:
The full yearly FSA money is available on day one. Therefore there is a risk to the company if you spend more FSA money than you contributed (and then leave the company). The forfeited money the company collects offsets the money they lose. Hope that make sense...
re: Headlights in recent years - is it just me or everyone?
Posted by CoolHand on 11/5/23 at 10:02 pm
[quote]Idk but those blue headlights sure do piss me off! [/quote]
LEDs are cheaper to make at a high color temp (blueish). That’s higher color temp is what hurts your eyes and “blinds” you. I guarantee you the DOT will regulate color temp in headlights one day. They haven’t caught up with techn...

re: Bright head lights
Posted by CoolHand on 1/22/23 at 7:51 am
The biggest issue is the color temperature of the lights. The higher color temp (bulbs are marketed as “cool”) are very harsh on the eyes, even at the same “brightness” as lower color temp (warmer). I think that the color temp, should be part of the regulation. Get rid of these harsh high color ...
