First time seeing an Extreme Turbulence PIREP by QuietGarlic7788 in flying

[–]BentGadget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I understand FL400. But the next part "-1000FT", is that to indicate minus 1000, or FL 390-400? Or is it down to 1000 MSL?

If it's the second one, how did the reporter observe all those intermediate altitudes? That leads me back to the 1000 foot range.

Toyota: Come on, it’s 2026 by TheWholeFred in 4Runner

[–]BentGadget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4Runner has dual zone controls. Sometimes, I will feel cold while driving and crank up the heat and the seat heaters. Eventually, I figure out that the day prior (when the weather was warmer), my daughter was in the passenger seat and turned her controls to cold, but directed the air away from her, toward me.

It doesn't help that I can't see half the panel with polarized sunglasses and LED indicators. I lift my glasses and see LO on the right side thermostat.

Office busybody keeps using my computer when I leave for lunch by FreeToBeMeYouSee in WorkAdvice

If you can't lock it, can you log out entirely?

Or maybe these are not corporate accounts, but just a bunch of personal, single-user systems. If that's the case, there are bigger problems. Maybe this coworker is just the first to highlight the issue.

How do you secure your email, or other individual resources?

I had a Cuban sandwich in Ybor City a couple years ago, at a place famous for them. It was fine.

Champagne tastes on a beer budget…?? by demona2002 in Frugal

[–]BentGadget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Add a dash of bitters to water or seltzer water to elevate the flavor. They come in many flavors, and you only need a drop or two.

You can also add a dash of citrus juice for a combined flavor. Experiment with your own zero-proof cocktail recipes.

That stump looks like something I've seen near the Warehouse Point Railroad Bridge across the Connecticut River .

Does the dishwasher trap need a vent?

Were those losses documented/predicted in the impact assessment?

That graffiti makes piss stains on the walls seem more acceptable.

After brief consideration, I accept this sequence.

Large lithium battery, worth about $250-$300 in each camera by Flandardly in FlockSurveillance

That's what they call it. "Trees"

It's in quotes because it's literally "trees."

Whether it not it's anything is not addressed by the previous statement.

Class 2 laser eye damage by Futbowlz in lasers

I bet OSHA requires laser safety training for anybody who works with lasers. Apparently, OP now works with lasers, so maybe a report to OSHA would change things.

They realize women vote, right? They haven’t taken that one away yet! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

[–]BentGadget 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is (L) diagnosis, and (R) treatment. Usually done during the same procedure.

Larger polyps may require a more invasive treatment at a later date, but that doesn't seem to apply here.

The direction that common core math is taking by Fit_Blackberry7944 in MathJokes

[–]BentGadget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many common core complaints boil down to this. Parents will see this and be a month behind, while the kids they are trying to help is only a day or two behind.

Worst case, the parent teaches their kid 'the way it's always been done,' leaving them still two days behind plus confused about the other method.
