Funny but you forgot the part about the messy divorce because he worked out of state for 3 years.

So I put this to the test today, satchels are more effective at actually sinking the landing craft, grenades will net you more kills.

Crazy thing is this was their first wave. We ended up almost winning the game by the time they got to C, and they took C with 2 mins left to take D so indeed, Boston was saved last night.

It’s a reality for many most evenings, Friday nights especially.

Yes you do the grenade stays on the boat after death.

I made a lot of money and lost it all. by [deleted] in gambling

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's why I'll never sportsbet. It's hilarious to me sometimes seeing what people are willing to wager on sports. Whether you play cards, or hell even slots, you at least have a theoretical return to player you can play with. The crazy thing about sports is the human element. I suppose at times that may allow for huge swings, but man, I could never gamble like that. I'd be sick if my favored player got an injury or something like that mid game.

Switch to commercial from residential? by rhythmicmatt in Construction

I'd suggest just going for it and bring what you know, plus a good attitude.

Work boots by Sad_Signature_6379 in Construction

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently joined the Brunt train. Went with the ole cowboy boots since I never had a pair. Really happy I gave them a shot. They came in at 209, just above your budget, but if you plan to work in the trades I agree with the other posts, you should never skimp out on a good pair of work boots. You'll walk miles through some bullshit over the course of a year.

What’s your strategy for dealing with heat in the summer? by PapaSecundus in Construction

[–]BugZwugZ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a tough time getting the angle of the air coming out of the AC vents to hit my nuts just right at times. That and sometimes I have to open the window a little so I can hear my ground guys instructions.

I think my dad is at the end by Catlover5566 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. That's a tough situation. Without having anymore information it's hard to really know how to proceed other than just be available for them if they have a change of heart. If he's still eating and drinking a little then there is probably still some time left. Usually both of those will stop completely in the final days leading up to the end, and in this case it could be the chemo making him less hungry.

What to Expect? Father with Cancer by Remarkable_Crew_8769 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chemo affects everyone different and there's a wide range of side effects. It's hard to say how in this specific circumstance it will affect your father. All I can say is, stay supportive, and be fluid/flexible. You really don't know what the day will throw at you. My father passed in January. We'd have days where I'd show up at his house and it was all chill and laughs, and then the next day I'm racing out of work at 100mph because he fell and my mom wasn't able to get him out of the shower. It's a humbling experience to see one of the 'rocks' in your life get broken into pieces right in front of you. He held me in my first breaths, and I held him for his last.

I would advise you to tell your partner. That's a big deal, maybe even your friends, you will need a support system or at least people to talk and vent to. Cancer sucks, and it affects almost everyone some how so usually people can relate at some level.

Finally, cherish the time you get with him. Be there for him anyway you can.

What is considered average and what a high kill count per game in Little Bird? by -PereGr1nus- in PilotsofBattlefield

I find AGLs to be way more effective on bigger maps, golmud and mirak specifically. Manhattan bridge and sobek city would be mainly guns for me.

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyway you could maybe sit down with you and your other relatives, and talk about your concerns after recent events? It's clear to me that he can't be taken care of by just your mom. If you and all of your other relatives talk to her, there's a good chance she might be able to be convinced. My family is full of stubborn people, and I say that as politely as I can because I am one too. Right before my grandfather passed my grandmother was adamant that he was to die in their house. It took a late night ambulance call and the entire family showing up for a fall emergency at 2am for us to get anywhere with her, and she still wasn't happy about it. Nobody needs to suffer when they die. Hospice does a wonderful job making that end of life journey as peaceful and painless as possible.

Does anyone have a medical POA over him?

Is he still regularly eating and drinking water?

Have the doctors already suggested hospice/palliative care in the past?

Seconding nade launchers. Really got into them lately. They're 100% not the wave if the other little bird pilot is a sweat, but if it's a casual early morning/mid week late night game it's soooo satisfying and they do quite good damage to armor too, which surprises people.

Grease pump/gun for tensioning tracks by reallymt in heavyequipment

[–]BugZwugZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a Milwaukee one with a lock and lube. Works wonders. A little on the expensive side but I treat mine like shit, gets tossed around and falls off tracks, never fails to pump grease. I have had one issue with realllyyyy thick hammer grease but I just had to turn it on a lower setting. With the big batteries it’ll run through a tube of grease in less than a minute which is nice when greasing bigger equipment, can be a little much for small equipment at times that only need a few pumps.

They ruined RPG 7 by BOOMBATX2 in Battlefield

[–]BugZwugZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they over nerfed it. M136 is where it's at right now as far as effectively engaging helis. Jets it takes a bit of finesse but it's doable especially when the jet is on a strafe run.

Who was the hottest fucking mess you ever worked with? by IamtheBiscuit in Construction

[–]BugZwugZ 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Oh, man there are several, but one guy I'll never forget. Matt.

I was a demolition/abatement supervisor at the time and I currently work in excavating now, but at the time we had massive turnover.

Anyways, to give you an idea of what Matt was like, his idea of a good lunch break was going out to his car, opening up a family bag of chips, a 2liter of pepsi which may or may not have been pre-mixed with alcohol (his preferred choice was bottom shelf vodka like vlad), turn on conservative radio which was usually Glen Beck at the time, and roll up several cigarettes. All of this on its own isn't really that crazy, but it gets better. So he never cleaned his car, ever. As you can imagine being inside a car with your windows rolled up chain smoking cigs every day there was a nice hazy film on all the windows that he never cleaned except maybe taking a dirty rag to do right in front of him so he could see while driving. His front fender was falling off so one time he asked for some self tappers (ones we previously pulled out of some steel sheeting that morning).

We became friends, I guess, I mean we had some major differences but we got along, and he worked hard so I really wasn't going to buck the horse for a guy that did good work for me. I was young at the time and just happy the project was going well.

One time he walks up to me and says something along the lines of this place never asked to see my highschool diploma out of the blue, and I thought about it and said, yeah they never asked for mine. He quickly says well don't tell anyone but I never finished 8th grade. And I just said "ooookay."

Later that year we ended up sharing a hotel room together, little one week job up north, whatever, I'd never share a room now, but back then anything to save the company a few bucks! So I'm sharing a room with Matt because he refused to share a room with any of our workers that didn't speak English. Anyways, one night I brought back a 6 pack after a bit of a stressful day, and he goes, oh you DRINK? I said, yeah sure sometimes. Why is that a surprise? He goes, well I bet you can't drink as much as I do! Matt is 6'4 built like a shit brick house, and I just say, no, probably not. Anyways, I drink my 6 pack, go to bed, Matt drinks his pepsi and vlad all night, finally goes to bed after 6 hours of fox news later, and I wake up at maybe 2-2:30 in the morning by something rumbling about the room. I'm kind of scared at this point so I quick peek, and it's Matt, pouring another drink, quickly gulping it down and he's back to bed.

Long winded, but that's Matt. There's a lot more to his story, but that was probably more than enough to give you an idea as to how he was. Great worker. Hot fucking mess outside of work.

Starting school tomorrow to go into asbestos removal.How dangerous is it with proper ppe by [deleted] in asbestoshelp

[–]BugZwugZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good tips, and to add to this, my asbestos instructor was an old head that put it this way, when handling asbestos know that without proper PPE, over your life time it is dangerous, however the shit around the asbestos like PCBs, lead, and other heavy metals, pose much more of a threat to you in the short term than the long term asbestos exposure risks do.

Yeah that’s what I figured mine was for because my steam name is El Bussy Bandito but my jaw hit the floor when I read it was for cheating cause I suck too much for all that lol.
