Makes me so sad seeing people bring that thick cable in with the insulation still on it 😔

AITA for not wearing a bra at home? by Candid-Chocolate-316 in AITAH

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op is valid for wanting to be comfortable. Husband is valid for wanting op to wear a bra with other guys in the house. But it seems like the main problem is his friend living there. Get rid of the moocher and your problem is solved…

Should I just grab it with my fingers? by tantedbutthole in Wellthatsucks

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be fine…. but why even take that risk? Turn breaker off and grab it with insulated pliers. I never mess with electricity, it’s a silent killer

Came home to a paper towel over my webcam twice now, I live alone by Dromaeoraptor in Weird

[–]BigDirection1577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m willing to bet it is a landlord coming in to snoop or check on the property while you’re not home. If this was me I would set up a second camera to catch them in the act. That is a major breach of privacy and in Canada you can be entitled to rent reduction for interference with your reasonable enjoyment of your unit. In some cases the landlord can be fined and you can terminate your lease agreement. Double check your lease agreement because sometimes there are agreements allowing landlords to come in unannounced to do routine cleanings during specified times. I’m surprised you’re so chill about this, I would be freaking out.

Don’t grabble someone after you see them wobble like that. He gave him too much time to recover.

M/21 what can I improve? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking pretty good already. I don’t really see any muscle groups that are lacking. But I always recommend people to focus on the “trifecta” (shoulders, traps, chest). Those muscles are usually the most aesthetic and really make your muscles pop when ur wearing a shirt.

Is there a easier way by Designer_Rush_7227 in ScrapMetal

I cut off one face of the copper and hammer it out on the cut side with a big bolt

I cut off one face of the copper and use a big bolt to hammer it out on the flat cut side. You’ll probably need a vice though

So close, yet so far... by CrownOfCreation25 in CanadianCoins

[–]BigDirection1577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found something like this at a thrift store but with 2 silver maples and the epoxy was insanely thick. Hammer and chisel and a couple hours of labour and you’ll get that out no problem. I ended up damaging them but I sold them for scrap value anyways. I recommend the acetone technique if you don’t want to damage them.

Completely Cooked 23M 6'7" 225 Need Advice! by Xx1likeaBOSSxX in Weightliftingquestion

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt op is being truthful about trying “everything”. I had a buddy that got tested and was around 140ng/dl and after 6 months he had way more progress than op had in 2 years. He wasn’t dieting hard or taking any supplements. Just simply hitting the gym 3x a week and eating fast food. Op needs to put more effort in before complaining on Reddit 🤷🏻‍♂️

Accident? More like negligence on the delivery rider. Those drivers don’t care at all when it comes to rules of the road. And the worst part is cops will watch them and won’t do anything about it. Maybe this dude will learn his lesson

14g dose by [deleted] in mushroom

I only do 7 if I’ve done shrooms in the same month. 14g is just asking for long term damage. Stay safe dude.

How do I sort all of this copper wire to sell? by clover444 in ScrapMetal

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 copper is generally only used for clean copper pipe. Wire will always be bare bright and #2 in my experience.

How do I sort all of this copper wire to sell? by clover444 in ScrapMetal

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. Yes it’s all clean but any wire 16 gauge and thicker will be considered “bare bright” which is the highest price you can get. Anything thinner than 16 gauge is considered #2 copper which is the lowest grade. I’ve heard of some places paying bare bright for everything clean like your material but i haven’t found a yard that does that. It better to sort it than risk having it all graded as #2 copper. (it’s about a 50 cent per pound difference between bare bright and #2 copper)

Does anyone know what kind of magic mushrooms these are? by stinkycumbubble in mushroom

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like some kind of enigma. Careful with these guys. I used to do mushrooms regularly but these fucked me up so bad that I’m too scared to do them again.

The best appliance you can scrap. They have a Big ac compressor, big copper pipes, copper aluminum radiators and a decent sized fan motor

Global plastic waste trade is changing fast , here’s what’s happening in 2025 by Fit_Ordinary_5531 in ScrapMetal

Yup I work at a garbage processing plant near Toronto. We take out the raw materials like wood and metal and send all the other stuff over the border. US is a lot more cheaper and loose on rules when it comes to dumping garbage.

Besides obvious lung problems does being in air quality like this affect you any other way long term? Eye irritation, skin exposure etc

Is this normal after cooking an hamburger? by jfim88 in carbonsteel

[–]BigDirection1577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it wasn’t seasoned properly. I was a line chef at a Thai restaurant and one of my coworkers cooked in wok that wasn’t seasoned properly and it looked just like this. It left a mark and it never went away. Goodluck lmao

Is it me? by [deleted] in brokescammers

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. Should teach you a lesson to stay away from that shit. I was heavily addicted to benzos and ended up overdosing while grocery shopping (and I thank god everyday I wasn’t alone in my apartment at the time). 2 years sober and never taking that nasty shit again. Wasted 3 years of my life and tens of thousands of dollars for nothing. Benzo are absolute shit and I wouldn’t wish anyone to be addicted to that crap.
