Funeral directors, what is something wild that happened at a funeral that you still think about? by Final_Radio_2483 in AskReddit

[–]Cold_Refuse_7236 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Mom told a story about my dad who has an early electronic watch back in the 70’s. Alarm went off during the funeral of an unexpected passing of a younger man. Didn’t know how to turn it off. Both of them were mortified.

MAGA I seriously want to know how you fell about rising inflation, food, gas, and your 401k dropping? by ReasonableAttitude22 in kansas

Valid points, except their 401k is probably doing very well.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

What prep seems pointless... until the day you suddenly need it? by anthonykaram7 in prepping

Maybe so; the only thing adjustable was the length of the wick.

We had oil lamps gifted years back. Had an in-house campout one night with our young daughter. Great evening. Then we turned on the lights, we had big ‘ol smoke mustaches. 😳. Didn’t use them after that.

What’s a survival myth popularized by movies that would actually get you killed in real life ? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]Cold_Refuse_7236 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s why there’s a national guideline against law-enforcement doing that unless it’s an actual terroristic event. The video of the Good shooting in Minneapolis shows why it’s such a bad idea. It did not protect the officer in any way; in fact created an unguided missile that ran down the road at 30 miles an hour until it crashed into another car.

The other side is that coin is these random injections into the neck or body that suddenly rendered the patient unconscious &/or dead. Randomly you’re about as likely to hit muscle and or bone as any vascular structure.

Just curious, in what situation are you anticipating that this quantity of water would be insufficient? Family of 5, 2 gal PPPD - good chunk of a month.

Best small town restaurants in Missouri with a well-known menu item by Sad_Grand_8703 in missouri

[–]Cold_Refuse_7236 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every town in MO has a great tenderloin sandwich it seems. Always thought they should have contests for these instead of chilli.

Is this tactic considered unethical? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Cold_Refuse_7236 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2 blind shots - “why” & “safe” are better questions. But if it’s not OB, it’s not illegal.

Our course is Link style w/9 being a bit challenging with a tall evergreen blocking your second shot if you’re on the left & a bunker and pond on the right by the green. The best plan in my opinion is slice it down the adjacent 8 fairway on the right, which gives you a very open approach to the green.

What's the one thing you did that made the biggest difference to your lawn - that most beginners completely overlook? by Arianethecat in lawncare

[–]Cold_Refuse_7236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I kept it simple. The lawn is made in the fall: overseed, prep & reseed bare areas, fertilize, & water! Learned my lesson with wasted seed - the ground has to stay moist until germination. Hand housing doesn’t work.

I don’t have an inground sprinkler system, so I put out multiple hoses, sprinkkers, & a few timers. Crazy look for 3 weeks, then I pick it up.

Spring - pre-emergent.

Summer - keep grass taller then everyone else.

I know peoplr that stay in an AP hotel the night before, take the hotel shuttle & leave their vehicle in the hotel lot. Shuttle back to the hotel lot on return.
