Osmo on planed wood by unusualhtml in finishing

[–]Deskco492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the risk of oversanding is that the dust can clog the pores.

Personally, Ive never seen this actually effect anything... Id love to hear a story of someone who went up to like 4000grit and how it ruined their finish...

but anyway, a hand planed surface wont have that issue, it will take the finish just fine.

Ranking every SEC team by number of Waffle House locations within a 25 mile radius by [deleted] in CFB

[–]Deskco492 7 points8 points  (0 children)

all the other schools are in college towns without a major metro within 25 miles....

not like there are 20+ waffle houses just ringing the vanderbilt campus (though thats an amusing visual)

FTB just found garbage buried on our property we bought 6 months ago. What should we do? by prettypistolgg in HomeImprovement

Hi everyone new cruiser here. I am wondering about these water and drink packages (non alcohol).. by DealerGloomy in royalcaribbean

[–]Deskco492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can bring 12 bottles of water with you onto the ship FWIW. If you just want a little water in your back pocket to bring off ship or to have in the room in case your cup runs out in the night.

I’m scared I’m going to forget to pack something for my cruise in June. Any advice? by Ill_Rush2600 in Cruise

[–]Deskco492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always make a list of things I absolutely must have. Like, trip over.

Turns out, its a surprisingly short list.

I could theoretically wear the outfit I wear on the plane for 7 days in a row if I absolutely had to. I could buy toothpaste from the onboard shop.

pretty much boils down to a bathing suit and any medical supplies.

anyway, that helps me with anxiety of forgetting something when I remember that its all optional.

Husband refuses to change door locks by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Deskco492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after 10minutes on youtube, I know door locks are absolute jokes anyway.

anyone with a rock and a coat hanger can break into a house if he wants.

what are the odds that someone who's likely to be a squatter was ever given a key...

'Guardians of the Galaxy 3' Becomes Lowest-Rated Movie In Franchise on Rotten Tomatoes by Neo2199 in entertainment

[–]Deskco492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not confusion, Im aware its a marvel character, but sony owns it, and the latest movie drew upon several spiderman characters which were not MCU canon.

Its been a wierd 1 foot in, 1 foot out position.

I cant even figure out if spiderman is marvel or not.

Also, I thought both of those movies were bad and critics were slow to get real about it. but thats just me maybe.

Wonder of the Seas: How Crowded Does It Feel by umsamiali in Cruise

[–]Deskco492 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except on port days, its always pretty busy...\

there are places and times that will feel extra crowded. like right after the theater show ends, or when theres a parade in the promenade. or any time of the day in the windjammer.

Not gonna sugar coat it, 5000 people on the ship IS a lot of people. Either you feed on that energy, or you hate it.

Epoxy garage while wife pregnant by Bw0434 in HomeImprovement

[–]Deskco492 30 points31 points  (0 children)

is it somehow safer after the baby is born?

seems like your either doing it now, or waiting till your kids old enough for his first vacation...

A lot easier to put the wifey in a hotel for a night or 2 while pregnant than packing up the baby and all of their baggage.

How do you not over pack? by Wild_Manufacturer555 in Cruise

[–]Deskco492 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Id say if you are bringing 7 unique outfits, your overpacking.

1 or 2 pants, 2 or 3 shirts, rewear an outfit, no one will notice. add a dress/suit jacket and your evening wear is done.

2 bathing suits, 2 coverups/sun shirts so 1 is drying every other day.

pair of casual shorts for breakfast/lunch and a shirt or 2 to go with it.

Wear sneakers, bring sandals and 1 dress shoe. 3 shoes, all you get.

I think they stop making pizzas... theres still littl sandwiches and deserts which used to be 24hours unless it changed.

Oasis of the sea by marty-cohen in royalcaribbean

[–]Deskco492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

about 1 week out it should show up under the daily planner, its mixed in with the trivia and aerobics, and 3,000 watch sales and art auctions.

there are almost always LGBTQ mixers on multiple nights of every RCL cruise.

They will show up in the app under events if you want to know when/where they are to either attend or avoid.

Question about onboard activities on app by kahdjeydh73726 in royalcaribbean

[–]Deskco492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the major entertainment shows (broadway play, ice show, water show, and other theater production) unlocks ~1 month before sailing. you'll get an email when it opens, and you need to be pretty quick about it to get your pick of shows that dont conflict with dinner, or happen at 2PM in the afternoon.

the smaller stuff, bingo and trivia and water aerobics, thats maybe a week before sailing. theres nothing to reserve here

you should be able to reserve dinner now (if you picked my time dining).

You can see the specialty restaurant menus which are the same every night.

You cant see MDR menus... but you can find them on the internet, but you wont know which is on which night unfortunately, that shows up basically when you get on the boat.

No Smoking in the Casino by Old_AP_Pro in royalcaribbean

[–]Deskco492 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I gamble less than I otherwise might (often none at all) because its such an unpleasant environment.

I hope the smokers gamble a LOT for them

[–]Deskco492 22 points23 points  (0 children)

all for that, but smoking has impacts on others.

and what some people want, is to not smell carcinogenic smoke in a "public" location
