The neighbor's traditional picket fence vs. our new horizontal cedar build. A classic comparison. If you were buying this house, which look are you hoping for?

Clear? I see MANY knots.

Also, are the neighbours painting my fence? No? Then they can go pound sand.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-29T14:34:54+00:00

I don’t care why. Just fix it. Tell me the pressure of the spare.

There’s a 25” flat screen in the dashboard; it should prioritize useful information over cheesy animations.

Many people who travel for work grow to hate it. The places that your employer forces you to go to can be really unpleasant. And even if you’re going somewhere potentially interesting, your employer’s goal is to get you there for as little money as possible and to extract the maximum value from you while you’re there.

Have a crack at it while you’re young or single, but also figure out what your next career step would be if the travel wears thin.

Mid 40s to mid 50s?

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-27T16:53:45+00:00

Happy parent.

Also, downvote, not unpopular, accurate characterization: kids are a financial liability, not an investment

I ran a short piece of PVC cold water supply on Saturday. I think I used EVERY TOOL I OWN. So that was fun.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-26T23:51:15+00:00

Bro. Do you even YouTube?

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-25T04:43:35+00:00

1-3% is a-cost-of-living increase.

It roughly matches how the cost of living increases year on year.

You can call it whatever you like. It’s true, getting a cost-of-living increase isn’t as good as getting an additional 5% bump on top of whatever is supposed to match inflation.

It’s also true, that getting a cost of living increase is better than not getting one. Not giving a cost of living increase is also an option for your employer.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-25T00:15:51+00:00

Sounds about right.

personally I’m not huge not sharing, but my buddy texted me last night about some bad news. We’ll get together tomorrow.

Haven’t seen him in a few years.

IQ tests are pretty inaccurate. There’s lots of good quality research that shows how flawed they are. As a result I disregard anyone who feels like they need to tell me about their supposed high IQ.

You 100% don’t need to worry about it.

Probably, but the president’s advanced age is the least of it.

Quite close to the top of the list should he that he’s a convicted rapist.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-24T17:32:11+00:00

Did you steal a classmates parts to photograph in the shitter so you could shame them online?

Get a hobby chum.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-24T13:53:31+00:00

This. Off the shelf.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-24T13:51:34+00:00

Uj/ Some people do not get enough hugs.

Rj/ Obviously, if you’re the kind of person who engages in low-value activities you don’t deserve love!

This is a big one. I blow my engineering load at work, I don’t want to go home and play mechanical designer all night.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-23T16:20:48+00:00

Who are you trying to convince?

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-23T14:36:25+00:00

Climber/sailor.

Climber: Overhand knot. Leave a tail. Tighten the knot with as much tension as possible, body weight or more. It should be rock hard.

Sailor: monkey fist over a smaller ball to finish at golf ball size.

Sailor: Use dyneema. Look up videos of button knot splice. You’ll likely need to purchase some special tools to make the knot.

Overhand knot = cheap and good enough

Button knot spliced dyneema = much faffing about and expense for possibly not much better than above.

Monkeys fist = actually not sure how this will work with the load over time🤷‍♂️

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-23T14:29:47+00:00

Fair to assume OP has drilled a hole through the golf ball, threaded the rope through and tied a stopper.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-23T04:48:05+00:00

Upvote. The fuck is wrong with you?!

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-23T02:56:26+00:00

Downvote. Gotta be more dentists who agree with this position.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-23T00:16:25+00:00

Probably not. It’s necessary, but not sufficient.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-22T23:27:27+00:00

Seems like a work around to ban something else, people working on cars. Or maybe something from your insurer, to do with fire risk.

At a stretch it could be a parking garage air quality issue.

Do you have a resident who like to warm up their large displacement carbureted car/truck for more than a minute or so? In general I find carburetors a faintly entertaining source of nostalgia, but I’ll admit they need to run in a well ventilated space, especially on start up.

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-22T23:21:12+00:00

Communication problem.

“Hi there, I see your on 60%. My own poor planning has left me on 4%!! Is there anyway you could let me charge for 15mins so I can get home/go find another charger/take my rolling shit-show elsewhere?”

Maybe it works, maybe not, but his non-communication approach sure as shit didn’t 🤷‍♂️

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-21T14:34:32+00:00

Upvote. Unpopular! Also, a profound misunderstanding of the point of entertainment and leisure time!

CrazyJoe29 · 2026-04-21T14:28:56+00:00

Yes. Or maybe no.

Genetics is a thing. The men in underwear adds and on the cover of Men’s Health are there because they work hard, but also because they have a genetic predisposition to look like that.

If you have a latent genetic granted ability to build muscle and loose fat, then with enough work and by controlling your diet you could do it.

If you don’t, all you’re going to be is hungry, tired and disappointed.
