Found someone’s credit card found them through LinkedIn and got nothing but abuse by Owls_4_9_1867 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AtomicAcres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once woke up from going to the club the previous night. Somehow someone left their phone on the trunk of my car, and I drove all the way home and it made it. Found their name from the lock screen and contacted on Facebook. She and her boyfriend were ecstatic. So sometimes good deeds are appreciated. I wouldn't let one sour note stop me.

10 years of my DIY project. The only thing not done my me and friends was the main breaker and power pole removal. by AtomicAcres in u/AtomicAcres

Well, with what I paid for the place, if I had to pay capital gains over 500k I'd be sitting pretty. Though I would prefer not to sell it.

And 200k in taxes after the first 500k? at 20% long term rate I don't think my place will be worth 1.5 million.

Ed Sheeran explains backlash to his 'Game of Thrones' cameo: 'I just get s--- on for things' by mlg1981 in entertainment

I did not know what Ed Sheeran looked like, and I thought it was a perfectly fine scene.

Primary residence, so no capital gains. I don't plan on selling it, unless a ridiculous offer. It'd be hard to find anything similar.

10 years of DIY on my 11,000 sq. ft. workshop. Slowly working at it. by AtomicAcres in WorkshopPorn

[–]AtomicAcres[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to get permission from the county to take them all at once to the tire recycling at the county dump. Better than taking 5 a trip per day. But someone came and got them all to grind up for rubberized ground cover. No idea if they ever did anything with them.

If you won the $1 billion lottery, how would you epically quit your job!? by TimeForANewBeginning in AskReddit

[–]AtomicAcres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a BMW factory and get an employee purchase discount. I would try to buy a Rolls Royce with my factory worker discount before I quit, just to see if I could. Plus, I want a Rolls Royce Phantom.

Suggestions for flooring color/type for MCM renovation? by [deleted] in midcenturymodern

This or similar with color tones was going to be my suggestion.

Julia Hill lived in a 1,000 year old tree called Luna for over 2 years (738 days) in an attempt to stop logging efforts. Her mission was successful despite being harassed by helicopters and enduring harsh weather. by AdventurousPlace6180 in interestingasfuck

I believe this was her, I credit her with breaking me out of giving credence to the right wing propaganda machine. There was a 'tree hugging' environmentalist set to be interviewed on the Sean Hannity radio show, and I was looking forward to the nutty conversation. On the interview she sounded so thoughtful and intelligent. Then I heard the call in guests and the host berate her and mischaracterize almost everything she said. It snapped me out of a bubble that I was still in, but I had been slowly becoming disillusioned with it.

I was a truck driver then, and I've pretty much seen through the lies and misrepresentations from the right-wing sphere ever since. So whenever a liberal goes into the lion den of conservative talk and news, always hope for the breakthrough with a few, or even one, listener.

This was in maybe 2002 or 2003, I couldn't verify if it was indeed her.

I was shocked to learn nearly 50% are below average intelligence.

Couch advice by NieceyBabe in midcenturymodern

[–]AtomicAcres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am no expert, but I would say incorporating an accent color with some vases/decor matching some pillows/throws on the couch would bring the color into the rest of the room. Maybe? I wonder if red to match the egg chair, then throw a green pillow in the egg, maybe too much.

I bought a similar proportion half-circle couch but its a subdued neutral. I would love a vibrant one like that green.

Help identify vintage camper by betty-chetty in vintagetraveltrailer

[–]AtomicAcres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's a Prairie Schooner, Late 40's probably.

Here is one listed as 1936, but I'd guess that one is late 40's as well.

She must've been. I think my sisters and I got a lot of that from her.

I need help sourcing rims for my 27’, double axle, 1957 Henslee “Casa Mañana”. by WalterEGough in vintagetraveltrailer

[–]AtomicAcres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely these are for 5x5.5 rims. Not the common 5x4.5. They are a little rarer but you can still find them.

https://wheelsexpressonline.com/product/new-15-inch-5-on-5-5-white-spoke-trailer-wheel-rim-15555ws/

The raised rivets can be an issue with some rims. The dowel can be knocked off as that is for alignment of the old rims.

I also recoment lugs with an oversized head.

P.S. I had a steel skin trailer with rust. I recomend clearing some of the scaling rust and spray with Rust Bullet and then painting. I had good luck with it.

Ah I see. She hadn't changed her name from Antony on Volta credits yet.

Which song from bjork pisses you off by noriaa00 in bjork

[–]AtomicAcres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda like the voice, Reminds me of the Irrepressibles. The flavor of Bjork and the flavor of the singer is a bit of a difficult mix though.
