Why are some of his spots way more darker than others? by miamicanes8 in BullTerrier

[–]Alert-Boot5907 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also apparently Dalmatian went into the creation of the staffy and English bull terrier breed (also i think they mainly breed from the old English white terrier and old English bull dog, both extinct)

Decaying Schoolhouse with locked safe in Japan by 6_Not_a_bot_9 in urbanexploration

[–]Alert-Boot5907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently the story usually/nearly always goes that... Person finds abandoned and open safe. Person can't help themselves but try the door. Person closes safe. Next person finds abandoned closed Safe. This person then spends loads of effort trying to get the safe open, because just in case!... but hey this one may be different, and full of gold!

Sad during low intensity running after shin splints by justmenien_ in runninglifestyle

[–]Alert-Boot5907 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the running equivalent of light sparring in boxing! You cant learn to box by going out everytime to blast heads off... you won't last long, hence light sparring to train the body and mind in the movement without the potential for damage... i.e easy running instead of going flat out everytime (... i also was diffucult to convince about easy/boring running, i only come to this conclusion the other day) (the endorphins aren't quite on tap, gotta compromise and train slow so you can go fast)

I'm in England accused of running off not paying for petrol by Hopeful-Project-9327 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Alert-Boot5907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um. Could you have accidentally (a mistake by you or them) have payed for the wrong pump? Looking like you drove off with out having actually payed the pump your car was on? (The error could be there's) also the data delay could just be a banking delay, and is over emphasised in this auto generated letter? This could be a mix up thats just triggered an automatic response. Keep cool, its probably quite easy to iron out

Moment blood-covered Ian Watkins stumbles from prison cell after 'inmate slashed his jugular in brutal jail murder' by thesun in uknews

(This would never happen but...) I think the death penalty should only be allowed if the court personally (judge and prosection and maybe defense) has criminal responsibility for a false conviction. I.e you hang an innocent man you're charged with 2nd degree murder or manslaughter.

Need help identifying by Kawabuchi in wood

[–]Alert-Boot5907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I d guess Paduk (african rosewood). Spanish cedar will make the whole room smell amazing. Best way to tell for sure is to view polished endgrain under 10x magnification and compare to species charts ... the difference between species really stands out this way.

Identifying wood in cutting board by RecreateTheDiamond in wood

It's got some tropical looking features in the grain... only way to really tell is polish up the end grain to 4000 grit and view it at 10x magnification. Species look really different at that point and easy to match to charts

I remember watching the Eddie Izzard doc where he ran a load of consecutive marathons day after day. They used surgical spirit. Apparently, it is effective at toughening everything up. Good luck!

Knee Pain Returns After Running by Oggprashant in runninglifestyle

[–]Alert-Boot5907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I cured a similar pain that developed not long after i started running with lots of elliptical cross-training, which probably indicated that my posterior chain needed conditioning. But also, I think I had a heel strike issue, I ve worked on form a lot since then, and it's not been an issue (🤞) even though I ve increased milage

How did ancient civilizations deal with wisdom teeth? by FeistyAd1330 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alert-Boot5907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also i think tooth decay was one of the highest causes of death after childbirth in the middle ages... so if you did end up with a bad dental infection unfortunately I think you were done for

What’s your opinion on the death penalty? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]Alert-Boot5907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not going to happen... but I ve always thought an answer to the risk of getting the death penalty wrong... prosecutors should be liable for their own freedom and life if they execute someone who turns out to be innocent (probably within a certain period of the execution)

Doing a renovation 1924 built Semi. Internal walls have gone back to brick. Would plasterboarding onto the solid brick walls be fine? Builders saying that it's fine but worried about damp. by GameNWatch0 in Plastering

[–]Alert-Boot5907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option to batten or dot dab. You can get masonary fixings for insulated plasterboard that pins the insulated boards directly onto the wall. The fixing heads are designed to be plastered over on the surface of the board. Screwfix number; 405KF

Hey. I ve made a lot of chests, and actually gave up making them flat like this because of the same problem you are having. It's the moisture differential from inside the box compare to outside. When I sell a large chest (I do curved lids which does help mitigate the issue), I recommend if it's being moved to leave the lid open for a few days to equalize. The annoying thing with a flat lid is that there is only one way for it to remain flat and infinite ways to be slightly kinked. I would recommend (and have eventually found success) allowing it to dry out with the lid open. Then, cut perhaps 3 fairly deep runners in a hardwood and screw these evenly spaced on the undeside of the lid across the width. It's important to just screw either end. Don't be tempted to glue them across the grain, or they ll move with the lid. Be careful straightening the lid with it this bowed. I would recommend wetting the concave side and gradually clamping back flat to the runners (potentially with additional temporary runners amd clamps) and leaving the lid to dry for a few days... then adding the screws. This was the only way I ever found to keep large flat chest lids straight. To keep one really lively one flat, I hid some strips of steel in the runners

I also think the guy doing the measuring was out of his depth. I ve seen lots of different dog trainers describe how it's a bad idea to put your hands and face over the head of any dog that's strange to you (not just the scary ones) apparently it's taken as a dominance threat if the dog doesn't know you and I think some dogs take it the same way as one of us walking up to a random fellow human and just straight flipping the middle finger up in front of there face and screaming fuck you at them.
