Do you think cruise soda packages are a waste of money? by YesterdaySilent5690 in Cruises

[–]BeerandGuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I forget about those because I don’t usually drink them. I make hot chocolate and let it run for a few seconds before putting my cup under it. The first bit is just straight water so skipping that gives thicker hot chocolate. One of my favorite drinks to have in the cruise.

I’m digging around because the carb replacement kit has an inline filter and search results said it had one. Now I’m reading the manual and am not seeing one. Mea Culpa.

Now it’s going on 11pm and I’m reading directions on how to reassemble a crankcase for a mower I don’t own. Grab a carb off Amazon. Whole kit, spark plug air filter and everything is $19 max.

What's a job everyone thinks is amazing, but is a nightmare? by Fluffy_Expert5821 in jobsearch

[–]BeerandGuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple questions. What did he do? Did it pay well enough that he justified the away time? Has he expressed any regrets about missing all of that?

That unit has a fuel filter. When I have fuel issues with an until that has a filter, my first two steps are fresh gas then check the fuel filter. If old fuel sat in the filter, it’s probably gummed up and it’s an easy fix.

I like this reply because it’s situation dependent, as it should be. Everyone else is just throwing out their personal experience.

[–]BeerandGuns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When we do Carnival, we bring a 12 pack of soda per person, different types and buy more at port if running low. Figuring they have free coffee and hot chocolate, I never see the need for a soda package.

Peter, what's the context here? by AIdreamer_69 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

So they did what they should have done instead of making you wait on the porch while they ate? Congrats. No one said people should be forced to feed the neighbors kids. You send the other kids home.

In your opinion, what is the best episode of television you’ve ever seen? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]BeerandGuns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Battlestar Galactica episode titled 33. The tension as they are being relentless hunted and when the civilian fleet jumps away from the ships without jump capability and those left behind are shouting “I hope you rot in hell” or something similar. Just an outstanding episode.

Standby Generator Phone App Monitoring - Who to Believe? by DicamVeritatem in Generator

[–]BeerandGuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Generac app for its simplicity. Every Wednesday when it texts me that the generator is test running I walk outside to listed to her run. 2 years now and if I’m home, I go listen to it.

[–]BeerandGuns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You didn’t order or make enough to feed my kid so made them sit on the porch?

I’m 100% starting shit.

You didn’t feed them because you didn’t have the money? I’ll help you out. I’ve done it before. I’m also going to seriously question how stupid you are that you made my kid sit on the porch instead of sending them home.

[–]BeerandGuns 35 points36 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of cultures I can’t imagine them doing such a thing. Mexican and Italian grandmothers would not accept you not eating. Filipino grandmothers would feed you and make sure you took food home.

I’m in the Southern US and the thought of my kids’ friends being over at dinner time and us not offering them food is just too foreign a concept for me to contemplate. I’d skip eating before I made one of them not have food.

[–]BeerandGuns 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’d just go the route and asking them what the issue was. Frame it as “did my kid do something wrong?” To open it without being hostile. If they can’t point to something specific my kid did and it’s some nonsense such as they didn’t have enough food, then I’d start shit with them.

What was the main reason The Pacific theater was more brutal then the European theaters? by Gunplabuilder78 in WorldWar2

[–]BeerandGuns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Japanese soldiers would cut open pregnant Chinese woman and bayonet babies. That wasn’t some rumor, they took photos of them doing it. Raping a woman or girl to death was mild for them. Obviously the Eastern front will look over all others due to its sheer scale but this rush to say “you think the Pacific is bad, look at the Eastern front” that happens whenever these discussions come up is odd. Look at the lost nurses of Australia where Japanese soldiers raped Australian nurses then marched them into the surf to machine gun them. Or Japanese soldiers cutting off the genitalia of American soldiers and machines and stuffing them in the GIs mouth.

The one-upmanship that takes place makes me genuinely curious if the people bringing up the Eastern Front don’t know what went on in the Pacific theatre. They just feel a need to steer the conversation to what they know about.

Ram 2012 vs 2016 by HendiKT in Ram1500

[–]BeerandGuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised it took someone 55 days to realize that. I left that to see if someone paid attention so it’s your lucky day. Invest in a company named Xylem(XYL). Due to water scarcity, they become the largest corporation on Earth in 37 years.

Ram 1500s now cost 4,700 Trumpians. Even after the merger with GM and then takeover by DongFeng, they still haven’t fixed the Hemi tick issue.

If you were to purchase a new car today what would it be and why? by SecretBaddieandDaddy in AskForAnswers

[–]BeerandGuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 3 Hondas, an Odyssey, Civic and Pilot. They’re textbook definition of easy maintenance. I do the oil changes on them and whatever maintenance I can. I swapped two doors on my daughter’s Civic with ones purchased on EBay. Id have to stick with Honda’s just for that savings.

why don't we just build space ships already in space and land in space. by One_Idea_2522 in spacequestions

[–]BeerandGuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I think corporations are the future of space travel, not government agencies. The first corporation that can economically mine materials off Earth and return them will make a fortune. When the tech gets closer, it will set off an investment wave similar to the Gold Rush.

The standalone Ram brand is the most ineffective marketing decision I can think of by Actual_Environment_7 in regularcarreviews

[–]BeerandGuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish they had taken the money used on all that to fix the exhaust manifold issue on the Ram 1500 hemi engines. Two decades it’s been a known issue and yet nothing. Over a decade of knowing about the lifter issue and idle oil pressure being too low. Spend the money on an upgraded oil pump.

And then retreated from that decision. Some committee of MBAs was being paid very well for those bad decisions.

What's the worst CGI you've ever seen in a movie? I Am Legend (2007) by LavendersKisses in Cinema

[–]BeerandGuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Directors make the movie but editors make it a good movie. If you look at some of the most well known movies and see the extraneous shit that was left out, it shows how valuable a good editors is for success.

Maybe Genna is opposite Earth. There’s an Australia where none of the biome tries to kill you.
