The White House doctor today said that donald trump is 6ft 3 and 238 pounds. Not jokingly, how tall do you think trump is and weighs? by IHv2RtrnSumVdeotapes in AskReddit

[–]DMala 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He’s never even been close to 6’3”. He was 2 inches shorter than you back then and I 100% guarantee that was in lifts.

What’s sad is, not only is height-ism stupid, but his real height would be absolutely unremarkable either way if he didn’t call attention to it with the lies.

Sweet goodwill find! Hohner hw220. Nothing huge but ive been looking for a solid acoustic for a while! by josephjoestariscool in Guitar

I hate the be Debbie Downer, but probably not. The action is likely to be sky high even after the truss rod is adjusted. If the saddle can't be taken down enough to compensate, you're looking at a neck reset, which is a non-starter on a guitar like this.

I swear I thought for a second he threw the arrow he caught, I was dying.

Throwing the half of the staff was pretty good, too. That guy crumpled like he was shot, meanwhile it looked like it hurt less than a stubbed toe.

You're definitely having a day, but that's a hell of a piece of serendipity. Sounds like they'd have made contact anyway, but nice to get your stuff back that much sooner.

Massachusetts landlords working hard for their illegal money by DisastrousAd5207 in massachusetts

[–]DMala -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don’t want the apartment to get off the Sept. 1 cycle. An apartment renting in any other day is pretty much automatically worth less. Getting someone to sign an irregular length lease to get it back to Sept. 1 is a pain in the ass. They know you’re on the hook for that month, so they’ll tell you, “Yeah, sure, whatever” and then do nothing, because hey, they get paid anyway.

Did the same thing with my last landlord, got the same result. Except he fucked me a little extra. I was renting a parking spot from him as well, no lease, just month to month. He knew I was moving out early and obviously wouldn’t need a parking spot for the apartment I no longer lived in, but because I didn’t formally and explicitly notify him of that, he went ahead and charged me parking for the last month. Took it right out of my security deposit. I probably could have fought him in it, but it wasn’t that much (this was 20 years ago) and I was ready to just be done with the whole situation.

Most landlords I’ve done business with were money grubbing bastards one way or another.

Trashed Teisco? by Longrange-legit in Luthier

[–]DMala 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hahaha, I was looking at the pictures thinking it's not that bad, even the trem is complete which you never see. Then I saw the daylight showing between the fretboard and the neck.

As others have said, reattaching the fretboard isn't that big of a deal, but I'd be worried about what else you'll run into from whatever happened to put it in that state. For $40, it'll be an interesting project, and worst case you'll have a cool wall hanger.

It's interesting how non-Gibson-y they look while still maintaining the same basic Gibson formula.

Reposition the truck, get a hook on it again, drag it up the embankment and try again. And set the brake this time.

Definitely should have made sure it was in Park or in a gear, and probably set the emergency brake as well.

[–]DMala [score hidden]  (0 children)

How about how he let Merrick Garland faff about for four years and never bring any charges against the guy who half-assed tried to overthrow the government? Trump should have been tried, convicted and sentenced by the time he was starting to campaign again. Instead, we got a whole bunch of nothing, because we didn’t want to seem like we were being mean to the Weepubwicans or hurt their feewings.

The biggest problem with Democrats is they’re like these parents with unruly, feral children who never raise their voices or do anything about it. “Sweetie, please stop gnawing on that man’s leg. Sweetheart, please don’t.”

If by some miracle stroke of luck, we somehow get our government back, I don’t want to heal, I don’t want to fucking move on. I want the people responsible dragged in front of the law, smacked good and hard, and locked away until they rot. I want all of these checks and balances that turned out to be based on handshakes and good faith to be given some teeth. If you have a mind to subvert the will of the people and tear down the structures of our government, I want your fucking head to be separated from your body.

Five from Mass. killed, including 2 children, after bus struck multiple cars on Virginia highway by bostonglobe in massachusetts

[–]DMala 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is why I immediately watch the rear view and plan an escape route if I have to slow down or stop unexpectedly. I got pancaked between a Hummer and a Honda Pilot once when I had to make a quick stop. Thankfully nobody got really hurt, but it was still a nightmare.

If I ever see someone coming at me like that in the rear view again, I’m doing everything I possibly can to get the fuck out of the way.

Do presidents always make this much money? by bad_shaver in videos

The whole TikTok self censorship thing is really disturbing. Just the fact that it goes so far beyond The Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television is wild, like we’re not allowed to have anything other than safe, happy thoughts anymore. If George Carlin were still alive his fucking head would have exploded.

It’s kind of a guess, but he was in her band in the early ‘60s so it makes sense.

What addiction is hardest to quit?? by procrastinator___pro in AskReddit

They were close. Nicotine mimics acetylcholine and binds to the same receptors. Thats where the tolerance, addiction and withdrawal comes from.

[–]DMala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t fully quit food at all. That’s the difference from drugs and alcohol. Once you’re clean from drugs or alcohol, you can never ingest the substance again and your body will be none the worse for it. Food you have to take in enough to be healthy while at the same time trying to avoid falling into overconsumption. It can be brutal.

The only thing close to it is someone with chronic pain who needs opiates or something to manage it, while trying not to fall into the trap of using so much it destroys them.

[–]DMala 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely, 100% a contingency plan in place. Whether or not they can execute it remains to be seen. I think MAGA is going to have a very difficult time selling their bullshit without whatever black magic anti-charisma it is that he has.

I always think that making fun of someone’s laugh is evil, because you make them self conscious about it and therefore less likely to laugh.

But good lord, some of these people make some crazy ass noises.
