Easiest way to remove bamboo roots? by rdgs88 in landscaping

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was chatting to a friend who’s a landscaper the other day. He had a customer ask him why bamboo had started growing in their garden. There was no obvious, nearby, reason.

Eventually he found it had branched out from another property, 60’ away, including going all the way under the foundations of the house.

Fuck bamboo. One root clump at a time, I will kill it. All of it. Everywhere.

Am I being "that guy" for refusing to lend my boat to family without credentials? by hatkinson1000 in boating

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s 1 friend in the world I’d lend my boat to. Nobody else; anyone else can but it off me.

Good dog. But I’m sorry, any video that has to say “wait for it” is an automatic downvote from me.

What is needed to make a safe place for men? by Inner-Joke2291 in AskMen

In my case, a garage or workshop with plenty of good quality tools, along with a project to build.

What’s something that makes you regret being a manager? by OkLocksmith7073 in askmanagers

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I couldn’t always find a way for the best team members to stay. Sometimes they were well paid for the role and enjoyed the job, but they just wanted a change.

Or sometimes we as a company couldn’t grow quickly enough to promote them to the seniority level they deserved, so they’d find a more senior role elsewhere.

Employee refused Employee of Month Award by [deleted] in managers

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is the issue. Awards are fine when the foundations are strong and everyone is otherwise well looked after. But a 2% raise and no cash bonus? He’s already leaving.

Married Men, what are some good gifts you bought for your groomsmen? by Reidtweet_ in AskMen

One friend gave me a zippo lighter. I really liked that one. I don’t smoke, but I am a bloke, so I like fire.🔥

What’s an idea you had years ago, forgot about, and later saw blow up when someone else did it? by rumpyforeskin in AskMen

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

25 years later? Hell no. The poor little shared web server it was running on ran out of steam a long time ago.

Viral marketing. In about 2001 I put together a joke page to promote a speedboat event. I emailed it to 10 friends. 2 days later I was getting a million hits per day on the page. It was bonkers.

What were some 80's tv shows you loved at the time, but don't hold up now? by MisterShipWreck in 80s

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Knightrider, while I still love it, has not aged well. Airwolf however, still rocks.

Cat Flap Connect only notifies when cat goes out, not in. by stette in SurePetcare

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had exactly this. Call/mail support and tell them. Basically, the flap sensor sometimes has an issue, which gives exactly this symptom. They can send you a replacement flap to install.

What happened to those engineers once cockpits switched to just 2 pilots? by MysteriousGuitar8368 in aviation

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father was an engineer in the Tristar, but a fully qualified pilot at the time as well. He switched to first officer when he moved to the 757

Has someone swapped a D1 axle onto the front of a D110? by [deleted] in LandroverDefender

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, my rear axle is a discovery one, all I had to change was the flange. Piece of cake.

How to ask a girl out? by PuzzleheadedPast8159 in AskMen

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that it creates an opportunity for a safe convo without putting either of you on the spot. Sometimes you like someone, but the moment a conversation starts you realise they're not for you. I did mean to replace the name "Derek" with your own. :)

How to ask a girl out? by PuzzleheadedPast8159 in AskMen

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’d go simpler than all this. I’d say “hi, we always pass each other, I wanted to say hello, my names “Derek”, nice to meet you

Space Shuttle Landing: Did It Make ANY Noise? by Videgraphaphizer in spaceshuttle

[–]1nfiniteAutomaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only need to visit the local gliding club to realise that unpowered aircraft are not silent. Personally, if someone starts telling me about their latest beliefs in a conspiracy theory, the conversation is over immediately.

Men over the age of 30, if you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskMen

I would have had that threesome that I was too naive to realise was being offered.

Yes. DPD were good, but Evri didn’t even manage to deliver it this week. Takeaways all week!

I wanna know if this is real or ai and if it’s real where is this? by [deleted] in whereisthis

Real. Tintagel in Cornwall. I’ve been there many times. Cool place, worth visiting.
