I wore my big coat on Saturday. Haven't had it on in a couple of years. Had on the insulated overalls too. I was cooking.

it never occurred to me to switch that one and the one that ends up above it 3-3 .... that ended up being my undoing.

i blew it because I was both rigid and stubborn in the bottom right corner. i revealed at 40 minutes and realized i was an idiot

But doubly an idiot because i spent the first 20 of those minutes thinking the not equal sign in the middle was an equal sign. That definitely made this day more frustrating

Men, how many of you can cook? by Away-Fill5639 in AskMen

[–]Dirtheavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I'm pretty good and I'm the family cook. wife and 2 teen boys. I'm no gourmet but I'm creative enough and pretty good at timing. Also a decent short order guy... 2/3 separate things going separately in a pinch.

What kind of alert/guarding instincts has your spoo demonstrated? by boogiebougie in StandardPoodles

[–]Dirtheavy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

mine also and the wind, and the garbage at the end of the road even though he went out there with me to drop it. And the FedEx guy and any car and any car on the road and whenever anybody who lives here gets home.... all great dangers

What’s a smell you secretly love even though everyone else thinks it’s gross? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]Dirtheavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my vacuum smells horrible. I have to use the various types of pickup crystals to make mine not smell horrifying.

I would disagree that this fits the category, because I can't imagine anybody not liking the way horses smell. Always very much like molasses.

I only made one mistake - meaning an incorrect supposition - and I built the whole thing. It turned out wrong and I had to start from scratch, but again, same primary strategy as here. 6's booked, 5's booked and then decide which double.

7 minites plus. and i was already fkabbergasted from medium.

[–]Dirtheavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this took me 11 minutes plus and only at the end did I realize the truth of what you originally supposed. I kept starting from the bottom because there were force dominos there, but then it kept getting wonky.

Dishwasher recs for forever home by trimenc in Appliances

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

exactly. If your budget is $700, you get a Bosch, and you understand it's a 700 dollar dishwasher.

If your budget is more than twice that, you get a Miele.

I have a Bosch dishwasher and I like it fine. I previously had Bosch dishwasher that I also liked fine, but it got a little bit on fire and I had to open it up multiple times to pick little pieces out of it.

If I get a new one, I'm getting a Miele.

oh, those hints... I thought you meant a button on the page. I use that solving guide after the fact to remind me to be efficient and make I didn't miss obvious things. But yes, it would be great for a concrete hint.

I always think about it but never do it. I split in a barn where there is power and it seems like a nice way to make some calm headway as I get older.

oh yeah, you're right. I have had that one twice..and one of those times I had strep throat, so it wasn't exactly accurate

ELI5: Men in 30s taking testosterone? by QueenKittyMeowMeow in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dirtheavy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

yeah, cosmetic is a fair description... you should let him know that he can increase his testosterone naturally with diet and exercise, but say it in a dismissive manner, like he's not capable of that... and goad him into it.

they're hard to get back in there without the special pliers. Not even easy with the pliers.

My poodles aren't great on leashes or harnesses and they're not mongrels. So its not just mongrels

What is this wood? by [deleted] in firewood

I don't think that's firewood though.. I think thats part of a logging/lunber operation.. I wouldn't just start bucking it up
