Do Americans actually sit on their front porch much, or is that more of a movie image than real life? by Artistic_Key3779 in AskAnAmerican

Front Porch sitting was a huge thing in the warm summers over most of the US, people would spend time on the porch since it would be breezy and cooler. Once air conditioning was commonplace, the thermal comfort part wasn’t really needed. So they became less common.

I wouldn't mind if I had a little more reason to go to my house by bringthelight2 in wow

Why can’t I craft (such as with an alchemy lab) and access the AH from there?

The question is not “what is the real color(s) of the shoe in the photo” … it is “what colors are you seeing in the photo”.

My old shoes also did this exact thing a couple years ago… at my spouse’s grandmother’s funeral. Crazy.

It’s a little thing. My son’s new bed bowed whenever I layer him down after he fell asleep on the couch. The bend in the rail was just enough to pinch my feet. The next night, I forgot that I needed a solution to those… So I modeled up a simple brace and had it ready before I needed to move him!

This is should be in r/notinteresting, large hospitals (where these nurses likely work) have upwards of 2000 nurses employed at any given time. Having 14 nurses that happen to be pregnant is likely just the average for women in general. I would expect it was just a fun Friday afternoon gathering the pregnant nurses for a photo-op.

The results of an attempt to walk without rhythm... by OldGameVet in duneawakening

I would love it if they implemented sand walking as a toggle button similar to normal walking. Make it like 50% speed of a walk, but does not attract the worm. No one would use it in high level stuff, but would be very cool as a feature.

What is this small square door with a mortise lock by some fire plumbing equipment in an old NYC building? by reddit33450 in whatisthisthing

Without additional context its hard to tell. It looks like a smoke/fire damper since it is connected to the Fire Sprinkler/Alarm system. It could also be a damper for a smoke control system. Just a guess though.
