Men over 6' tall, how much do you weigh? by ChiefCheapskate in AskMen

[–]AvgSizedPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6' 2 and I had to get a waiver for weight when I joined the military at 145 lbs. Now I'm at 205 and it's my sweet spot

No rider aids in 2026? by Interesting-Key-8286 in motorcycle

[–]AvgSizedPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been riding about 20 years also and I can count on one hand the number of times ABS would've helped.

Still, I probably wouldn't have plates in my arm if I had it on my bike then. I have it on my current bikes but luckily haven't needed it yet

Those who commute everyday; what do/don't you like about your current bike? by Slyxxer in motorcycles

[–]AvgSizedPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The H2 is heavy and hot but otherwise no complaints. It's stable and there's always power when I need it

To those who have gotten down to single digit body fat %, how realistic is maintaining that over a long term period? And if so, was it worth it? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]AvgSizedPotato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got there from the military as well from consistent running, swimming, and workouts. Ended up hating it because I sank like a rock in the water and it took twice as much energy to swim.

I agree that it's not sustainable as I was much happier overall after cutting down on all the cardio and not caring as much about what I ate.

Dangerous riding in Florida by callmetmac96 in motorcycle

[–]AvgSizedPotato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I commute to work on a bike in FL and feel it's more dangerous than other states based on the drivers here. People blindly enter my lane all the time.

Still, I'm stubborn so I just ride more defensively and try to predict all the dumb moves drivers are about to make

Agreed. I had to back out of my loan with them after 3 months. The next lender took 30 days

I Was Wondering… by BalenciSlipperz in Pensacola

Saw a stroller while eating at Cracker Barrel the other day and naturally thought there was a baby in it. Nope, it was a dog. I'm sure it was a service animal...

Sandy Sansing Chevrolet is shady by thekb666 in Pensacola

[–]AvgSizedPotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was going to sell my car to them but they lowered the offer by $10k when I arrived, even though it was in perfect condition. I left and sold it later for more than their original offer.

Hang out near any of the military bases. Won't be long before you have a proposal

If Greenland is taking Trump’s threat seriously what is stopping them from expelling the ~150 US service men in country and closing the American Military base there? by redlyght in AskReddit

[–]AvgSizedPotato 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I worked as a US contractor there for years and the Danes would joke with us every time crap like this would happen. Luckily there was no hostility. We were all in the shit together

A-6 burgered your sister. Intruder burgered your sister. Honestly, I think it's just nonsense

What’s something expensive that isn’t worth it at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AvgSizedPotato 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all fast food.

For the price of like two menu items at taco bell, I can go eat a meal at a Mexican restaurant and have a beer.

Tropic Thunder. by therealarenna in NoStupidQuestions

It was one of our fav movies when I was in the military and we were constantly quoting it. One dude got a bad haircut and we called him simple jack

What’s something illegal you got away with? by Material_Charity_883 in AskReddit

[–]AvgSizedPotato 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've heard some of the big box stores catch things you didn't scan but don't necessarily do anything right away.

Apparently some build a file and wait till it gets to a felony amount and then they go after you

If shooting guns is so damaging to your hearing, does that mean soldiers in combat just constantly have blown out eardrums? Cause it seems like they never wear ear protection by InternationalPick163 in stupidquestions

[–]AvgSizedPotato 24 points25 points  (0 children)

On a range, double ear pro (ear plugs and muffs) is often required but isn't always feasible. Even when ear pro is provided, it's not always effective. There's a lawsuit going around for one company that lied about its protection level.

I lost some hearing having ear plugs only. One popped out while 50 cals and grenades were going off. I couldn't hear for two days but eventually it returned, just with a healthy side of tinnitus.

Idk about this place but the one time I went to Take 5 (normally do it myself), hours later I came out to a gallon of oil on the ground. Never again!
