CRUSTY MINGE posted:Goodwill takes mattresses. They won't clean them before selling them. So if you have some resilient form of bed bugs, you can share them with the poors by donating it. It also depends on the state. I'm in Massachusetts, and none of the Goodwills/Salvation Army/etc will touch used mattresses. I had to truck mine to the dump.

I get to start doing some work on my GF's condo, I move in in like 2 months. Buncha paint on the walls, new bathroom fixtures, install some new electrical. Her dad is graciously buying us a new mattress so I'm taking his money and getting a king. Plus the previous owners put up this weird conduit+wood board bookshelf/entertainment unit that looks cool at first but is really non-functional, so get to replace that poo poo too.

I got rid of a mattress at either Salvation Army or Goodwill. We were moving, didn't want to move it, and we got a Leesa (my only regret is not getting a king size). Over the phone, the place said they'd only take the bed frame and not the mattress. Once they saw that it was not all hosed up and was actually in good condition, they took it. Not sure if they took it for resale or an employee just wanted it.

Shim, not sure if you still post in the spaceflight mega-thread or not. If you want to troll hardcore NASA fans, start talking poo poo about the james webb telescope and it's always-pushed back launch date. that telescope has been promised to launch next year, double-pinky swear, since the mid 1990s.

Sometimes I miss regular cabs. At least regular cab drivers don't always talk about why they're driving a cab. It's their job, that's why they're driving a cab.

Yeah, but I don't really miss conversations like "I don't feel like driving there." or "Oh no, my card readers broken. Cash please!" I'll never forget the time a cabbie at BWI didn't want to take me 3 miles up the road to my girlfriends place, but then said he'd do it if I put ten bucks into his gas tank. When we got to the gas station (conveniently next to my destination), that number went from ten bucks to "a full tank". I told him his meter was off and he was welcome to call the cops if he wanted, but he wasn't getting poo poo at that point. He finally said fine, ten bucks, you can pump it. He then had the loving nerve to tell me not to sit behind him in case I tried something  Uber sucks poo poo, but it's not like cabbies were winning customer service awards either.

Oh yeah, I'm not trying to lament the slow strangulation of the cab industry or whatever. gently caress em, I've had plenty of bad experiences. But sometimes I get dragged into long conversations with people that I just don't want to have, and those conversations are repetitive given that I Uber 7-10 times a week. It's always white people that try and defend their choice to be an Uber driver, hardly ever anybody of the browner complexion. And I have to engage in at least some banter, because you get rated as a passenger too and that fucks with your priority. First world problems, really.

Can't you just tell your driver that you're not much for conversation and would rather ride quietly?

Yes, yes you can. And most of them get the hint. Or they'll just passive aggressively rate you lower, which will eventually lower your priority when requesting rides. The people that I'm referring to mostly are strangely aggressive with talking, and borderline defensive about their choice to be an Uber driver.

That's why I like Lyft. Drivers aren't overly chatty with me when I indicate I'd like to ride home quietly. I tip them 20% so long as they drive well and aren't insane. I would presume my rating reflects that. Had one trip to LAX at 5 in the morning where I accidentally stepped in dog poo poo before getting into my Lyft and I didn't realize it. When we got to LAX, I noticed, told my driver and immediately tipped him like 30 bucks on a 10 dollar ride. To my knowledge, he didn't rate me low as a passenger.

I use Uber because work covers it provided my origin or destination is one of our office buildings. So my total out of pocket for the month is practically nothing.

So I got a free upgrade to the iPhone X. Face ID works waaaaaaay better than I expected. Like insanely good. Secondly, an all glass screen with swipe gestures makes the phone feel like a science fiction prop straight from Minority Report.

Thanks to whoever recommended 6 days on Netflix. Though, it seems I might need subtitles for this. Can't understand a loving word the SAS blokes are saying.

I sold a 100gallon salt water tank two years ago and the college kids who bought it started eyeing the mattress I had on the side of the house. I explained it had been rained on once but otherwise we simply didn’t like it (too soft). They proclaimed it much better than their flop house mattress and took it. Win-win.

I should probably buy a new matress. Mine is ~18 years old, and the memory foam pad on top of it is probably 10. On the other hand I still sleep fine.

Casper is pretty good. Definitely give your body like 20 days to “adjust” to a new mattress before you decide if it’s bad or not. The no hassle return is nice but I’ve never heard of anyone doing it

I wish I could get one of these fancy mattresses delivered to Japan. The exchange carries poo poo and even then has to order them and wait a month for delivery.

Jesus Christ I almost feel dirty. My whole day at work involved going on a carrier to inspect ports in a single mobile office and reporting my findings. Then told to stand by further actions. 7 hours later it’s time to go home. Woo contracting!

Pretty sure it is, because there are multiple pictures of it, and it's used as an example of how easy it is to gently caress up the statement of work / performance work statement in contracting.
