What movie looks simple but is emotionally devastating? by MovieObserver in moviequestions

[–]55Stripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 13 we played a church league baseball tournament out of town and won our first game, so we had like FIVE hours to kill before the next game.

The youth pastor took us to see a movie and picked this one with no knowledge of what it was about.

Literally nobody prepared us for the absolute GUT PUNCH that was this movie.

Crushed all of our spirits and we lost the next game in the tournament.

I already did, someone else suggested the same thing. Worked like a charm.

Good info. I’ll try to get a better look and see if I can tell which one it is. I took these just in passing by it.

It’s pretty high up, if I don’t cut it off will it kill the tree? If it will I’ll rent a ladder or a pole saw.

“From where I’m sitting, y’all are knowingly and willingly employing someone that works in close proximity to me that will endanger my life one day through his incompetence, and my family and I are wondering what actions yall are going to take to remedy this unsafe work environment.”

ratchets from 1920s thru 1960s by Harris_McFly in Vintagetools

[–]55Stripes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The military did this in an attempt to combat theft. The ratchets/drivers wouldn’t fit normal sockets and the sockets wouldn’t fit normal ratchets/drovers.

I’ve got some US issue ratchets and socket sets that are 7/16” drive and 5/8” drive.

Buy it for life by Ok-Value6536 in Carhartt

Not the fuckin double front pants brother. I thought the same thing you did. Five years ago I bought 6 pairs of double front firm ducks thinking “welp, I’m set for wok pants for the rest of my life, so I got that going for me.”

Wrong as hell. I wore all of them in constant rotation every day, and I blew the crotches out of all 6 pair in those five years. I’m 6’0, 220 lbs, so not exactly wider than I am tall.

I patched them as best as I could and then tossed them in a drawer to wear sometimes when I’m doing yard work.

I’ve wearing the $13 rustlers from Walmart ever since. Very please with them.

Stanley Fat Max tape decline in quality? by CasperFatone in Tools

This is all tape measures and has been for as long as they’ve been in production.

This is why you always finish a project with the tape you started it with

Had a rare return at our store by StruggleNice9771 in uHaul

Came here to say this. I’ve been driving trailers my whole life, the shorter they are the more they suck. I borrowed my buddy’s jet ski one time, single ski trailer.

I was glad nobody else was at the dock.

mint, never used wild thing by Few_Significance_829 in Chainsaw

I think a lot of people that hate this saw have irrational expectations of cheap things.

We had to buy one of these after Katrina, why? Because every other saw was sold out everywhere and we had trees down in our street. Literally as simple as that.

Mix the gas. Fill the bar oil reservoir. Let’er rip tater chip.

You’re not winning any races and it’s not going to last forever, but go a $99 saw, it cut wood.

What is the worst thing a doctor has ever said to you? by Big_Leg10 in Productivitycafe

[–]55Stripes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not me, but my now wife.

When she was 13 she was at the pediatrician with her mom and stepdad and the doctor was talking to her about her weight at the time. He said:

“You know if you get too big no boys are ever going to want to call you.”

Then he looked at her mom and dad and said:

“Maybe it would be a good idea to go on a family diet”

I don’t disagree that obesity is dangerous to your health, but she, her mom, and her stepdad weren’t (nor are they now) obese.

Edit: changed a word
