1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Hey Guys! I think he's trying to mimic Chris Fix hand movements. Chris does because he keeps his face out of the camera.

Oh and I've seen posters go on about how he does such a good job with American Sign Language (ASL). I don't think so.

 

I worked with a guy in NYC that won 7 million in the NY Lottery. He kept working and didn't take the lump sum. He bought the ticket in a coffee shop and newspaper stand on the ground floor of our building. He did finally buy a 2-year-old Mercury Marquis to use as his station car for the Staten Island Ferry.

He would stop in each morning and say: "give me a cup of regular coffee and a couple of quick picks"

 

Why did you make me read this in the voice

 

Naw, I had the smaller little business card holder opening.

Speaking of, I need to get me a keychain garage opener and I keep forgetting. I don't leave my garage opener in the vehicle at all.

 

oh they make those? Fuck that sounds handy lol

I just do it the hard way because I have a pocket problem and carrying around the opener is a pain

 

HUH neat

Yep!

I don't like carrying a bunch of stuff on my keys but two things I keep on their come in handy every other day.

 

Install this and then use the app. Ditch the remote (or not). Hard to pass up at under 30 bucks. Plus its Amazon, don't like it - send it back.

You can grant access to Amazon for deliveries but I don't - hell no.

My garage is connected to my smart home and has an app, it just boots me out every few weeks and I hate going through forgetting/resetting my password. Then it affects my wife being on the app.

I use different passwords for all my accounts, cause if one is compromised (got my password) they can't use that same password on other accounts.

 

Same with the Home Depot app since my military discount is a QR code.

 

Been running it since 7/21. No issues, works great.

 

Just have Google or Apple suggest a strong pw and let it remember it (which I'm sure you already do). Every password is different and I don't remember any of them lol. Fingerprint/facial recognition access via phone app. Done.

 

Yeah, same with my wife. No issues at all.

But since neither of us remember the password for the garage door app, I'd rather not boot her off by resetting it.

Plus I get my hands dirty (some of us actually leave the house ) so I'd rather use a keyfob versus a touchscreen.

 

I think they could take sesame seeds off the market and I wouldn't even care. I can't imagine 5 years from now, saying "Damn, remember sesame seeds? What happened? All the buns are blank! They're gonna have to change that McDonald's song: 'Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a... Bun.' How's a sesame seed stick to a bun? That's fuckin' magical! There's got to be some sesame seed glue out there! Either that, or they're adhesive on one side. "Take the sesame seed out, remove the backing, place it on the bun. Now your bun will look spectacular." What does a sesame seed grow into? I don't know, we never gave them a chance! What the fuck is a sesame? It's a street... It's a way to open shit!

 

Yeah my other apps have fingerprint recognition, but not my garage door app.

I could just add it to my ADT (@Wulf had a hand in that) but again....touchscreen and dirty hands.

A situation that covers this is when I do some work away from home, or picked up some steel from the yard, and I'm coming home. First thing I like to do is unload any materials/tools/etc. to the garage.

Keyfob opener would be perfect for this since my phone is most likely in my pocket.

 

Do they make you use the id.me thing for military ID now?

 

I think I have one of those in my parts pile...

 

Before they came out with the QR code app thing, it was always in person showing your VA card.

When I had to enroll on the site, I don't ever recall using my id.me account but I do recall entering my service date information as well as my branch. Think I had to enter my last 4 of my social and DOB.

But get this, I specifically recall their discount program covering only veterans that are service connected IE disabled.

ID.ME. just verifies someone was in the military, but has no way of finding out if that person is service connected or not.

*seevice connected being a veteran that is disabled via their service*

Maybe they went to the QR code for convenience? Maybe it verifies service connected or not? Cause a civilian (or young out of high school cashier) sees a VA card and they'll automatically assume just to give him/her the discount.

Personally, I think it should only be service connected vets that get it.
