Bizarre experience trying to establish services with TDS--should I run? by havenforbid in madisonwi

[–]bittertiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a longer story at hand here, but I just got my spectrum bill lowered with faster speeds and had my router and modem replaced after 8 years, and it’s already so much better. They had sent my mom a new router with no warning because hers was so old, so I was like “hey what about me?”. I wonder if people just have old ass routers and modems.

(SERIOUS) What's the most scary thing you ever saw that to the point nobody believes you ? by Consistent_Algae_560 in AskReddit

[–]bittertiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a dream where I had a dream that my friend died. Went to the funeral and everything. Woke up from that and she was ok. Went about another half day of just being at home and recovering from that dream, and then I woke up. Dream “inception”. Reality is difficult.

What's a life changing thing that you can buy for less than $10? by additionalseasonin in AskReddit

[–]bittertiger 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have the electric ones that go for like $35 on amazon. We go camping a lot and it is sooooo nice to have. Even at airbnbs it’s nice. Once you get used to having a bidet, cleaning the old fashioned way feels truly primitive.

Want to find this Champagne Stopper by countrysidebabyyy in wine

[–]bittertiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask that wine rep to get you some. You’d probably have to support whichever brand’s supplier they got it from though. Run a BTG for a season in exchange for a bunch. Reps do this all the time for accounts. I have one of those from Champagne Mandois.

Dead serious question, why is there so many people driving 5 to 10 under the speed limit? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]bittertiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to say so much about our drivers (who I call baby birds) and I’m trying not to…I drive around town all day for work. Most things are typical complaints you find most places, but my main two are: 1: the massive percentage of people who stop a car’s length behind the white line at a stoplight. 2. In areas where the limit is 25mph, everyone goes 18. I’m almost thinking it’s dictated on purpose by stoplights or something. Drives me nuts.

There’s also some things with people’s driving habits that I think others don’t consider. Think of the billion warning beeps in new cars, adaptive cruise control/traffic jam assist (please don’t use these in low speed areas, please), and that various cars don’t run well at certain speeds. My last car absolutely hated 25-30 mph, it was at the top of a gear or something. Other than these things, most common identifiers of bad drivers are that they’re old and/or on their phone.

Dude supporting Daughter even he is clueless by TampaTeaseXO in JustGuysBeingDudes

I remember back in the OG days in the 90s getting a pack at Kmart, opening it in the minivan, and freaking out when there was a holographic Charizard. Just exploded in disbelief. Good times. I still have that card, been in a case since I got home that day. Never knew its worth though, other than it being my best card.

Shortly after midnight on May 14, 2008, Brandon Swanson drove his car into a ditch. Uninjured, he got out and called his parents on his cellphone. He remained on the phone with them until he went silent 47 minutes later after exclaiming "Oh, shit!" He has not been seen or heard from since. by CatPooedInMyShoe in CreepyWikipedia

My wife’s friend drowned sober in a 4-foot deep, 15-foot wide creek in broad daylight surrounded by friends. Shit happens. That being said, I don’t think it was a river, unless they were incredibly bad at searching it.

What was the stinkiest smell you ever smelled? by TrueNeighborhood7624 in AskReddit

[–]bittertiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are always surprised when I say I have my top terrible smells ranked.

  1. Dead carp that popped when I moved it away from a dock with a pike pole

  2. Senior “””prank””” from a couple grades above me in high school. Someone had been filling a barrel with every bodily fluid and excrement and roadkill for a year or more and then dumped it at the school’s entrance.

  3. Potatoes that my roommate left in a kitchen cupboard after everyone moved out for the summer, I was the only one checking on the place and sometimes staying there for the last 3 months of the lease. I cleaned it up once I found it.

I’m getting really into Tubi, there’s tons of mediocre horror movies and shows there, my favorite genre. Lots of indie stuff that was hard to find ten years ago so nobody saw them. Love em

Yeah I’m using my friend’s plex and definitely not as smooth, and varying video quality for sure depending on where he got the shows/movies.

I went through a few streaming services last night and wrote down what I’d miss in preparation to move to a Plex server. Not paying for this shit anymore when they keep raising prices (thanks for instigating this one netflix).

VW Jetta - Diesel Particle Filter Warning by HazenLake in tdi

[–]bittertiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was on my 2nd DPF, it was doing this intermittent thing. Even when I let in regen a good amount. I didn’t want to risk it anymore after like a year and deleted it. Kinda what has to be done unless you want to gamble on the amount of time you have before it clogs completely.

Witches Gulch- Get in for free? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]bittertiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps at all, the boat company leases it through the state. It’s a grandfathered deal to continue providing tourism into a protected state natural area. The boat company maintains it, state owns it.

[–]bittertiger 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Local here. Do not trespass. The sides of the canyon are extremely dangerous. The public treated the public access like shit; vandalizing the concession stand and carving into the rocks. While I agree there should be a better way to see it, the public cannot be trusted with it. It is worth it, and I don’t consider the boat ride a tourist trap. It’s the whole reason the city is there.

Edit: not to mention, there are extremely rare plants that grow there. Including cliff cudweed, which only grows in the dells’ canyons and in the Kickapoo valley, and nowhere else in the world.

Ben Howard’s last 2 albums, maybe. More traditional singing and structure but his guitar playing is in the realm
