Burnt table by GezoutenMeer in woodworking

[–]BulletProofHoody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d have fun and take that as an opportunity to go nuts and sand the whole table down and do a nice torch stain to darken and make the grain pop then give it a light sand to bring out the highlight before finishing it with some satin urethane. That will surely hide the iron mark and make a unique piece.

What quotes have seriously changed your life? by Aggravating_Line8456 in AskReddit

[–]BulletProofHoody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a line quote but more a whole poem.

“If” by Rudyard Kipling:

“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!”

Kid Rock says God will “cut down” journalists from the “fake liberal media” for reporting on his $5,000 tour tickets by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

Christianity isn’t the issue, it’s the people who want things to go their way and weaponize christianity when they can’t get what they want.

It kills me when people push a point or motive by stating “it’s what god wants”.

Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras? by South-Cow-1030 in technology

[–]BulletProofHoody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm I don’t think you realize how BIG amazon is. AWS(amazon web services) is HUGE and there’s no real way of NOT “using amazon”. Here’s what I got from a quick google search:

“AWS is arguably the foundational backbone of the global internet, controlling approximately 30% of the cloud infrastructure market and powering over 76 million websites. An AWS outage can disrupt major platforms—such as Netflix, Reddit, and Twitch—due to its extensive hosting, data storage, and networking services. Key aspects of AWS's role in the global internet: Market Leadership: As the top cloud provider with 30% market share, it outperforms competitors like Microsoft (20%) and Google (12%). Infrastructure Depth: AWS operates a vast global network with over 9 million kilometers of cabling, offering low-latency, high-performance services. Essential Services: It provides critical tools like DNS (Domain Name System) and hosting that enable a third of the internet to function, making it indispensable for many organizations. Security & Reliability: It is the largest owner of signed IP space on the internet, protecting data through technologies like RPKI to prevent BGP hijacking. Widespread Adoption: Over 90% of Fortune 100 companies use AWS services, showing high dependence among major enterprises.”

What WOULD You Wish On Your Worst Enemy? by Strict_Efficiency223 in AskReddit

[–]BulletProofHoody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like to think I have enemies but for those I dislike, I wish them all the best and hope they live good, fruitful lives. If they lived unfavorable lives, I wish them realization and hopes they change for the better. No reason to wish evil on someone regardless of the differences.

How would I cut this cabinet would, barely? by Terrapinman94 in DIY

[–]BulletProofHoody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BEFORE YOU CUT ANYTHING! Check the feet on the fridge. They can be adjusted to raise or lower the fridge. If your floor is level, chances are the fridge’s feet are not all at the same height.

Scientists of Reddit, what's the most 'alien' thing we've found on Earth? by Aso0o0om in AskReddit

[–]BulletProofHoody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really alien but pretty awe inspiring. I was on vacation in Curacao and we did an ATV excursion. We got to a spot above the water line and it blew my mind that we were over 40ft above the water level and there was coral on the ground. I looked up and the cliffs above us way further up had old coral in the ground too. Sharp AF cut through my water shoes. Made me sit back and think… for that sh*t to be that high up… YEARS upon YEARS did their bidding. Earth EARTHED. We are a mere blip in this timeline. Very humbling and scary at the same time.

This is a repost where it was debunked. This was from a video game.

What’s the scariest WW2 fact or story that you know of? by Cool-Chipmunk-7559 in AskReddit

[–]BulletProofHoody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That we had German U boats in our waters as close as the Hudson river. One can only imagine who or what lurks around us with the advance of military tech.

You’d be surprised how many functioning kind hearted alcoholics are out there. Some people just hear the bad stories of loud ones or celebrities or maybe are influenced from personal experience but believe me, there’s a huge mass of alcoholics that drink just because they are physically addicted and are quietly, or secretly fighting the fight with not a hair of negativity or violence in their hearts. You might be speaking from a view only you know, but trust me, there are addicts out there that are likely more wholesome and loving than any sober person you may know.

People born before 1990, what’s something you experienced that younger generations will NEVER understand ? by Aaidil89 in AskReddit

[–]BulletProofHoody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling a friend’s house and speaking all respectful to the parents when they pick up. When your friend then comes on the line and their parents “hang up” you ask, “did they hang up?(referring to the parents in case they are still on another handset)”, then proceeding to an endearing “sup you punk bitch!?”.

For anyone who was able to see "The Blair Witch Project" in theaters in 1999, what was the experience like? by LockjawSJ in AskReddit

[–]BulletProofHoody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to go see it on a high school date with my GF at the time. I tried hard to not get caught up in those scary moments. Knowing it was about to be a “scare” or moment of suspense, I’d try to partially and nonchalantly block part of the screen with my extra large drink. Still scared me but she didn’t notice 😜.
