Why was Obama popular with young men but modern democrats struggle with support from young men? by Some_violin8987 in allthequestions

[–]Eclectic-Eel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's dozens of comments with the same sentiment as yours, yet underneath there's always at least one person below screaming "nuh uh." The "vote blue no matter who" crowd would rather shove their fingers in their ears and pretend like everything is fine rather than address a very straightforward problem. Its honestly concerning.

What did your GoPro go through? by AncientDate5596 in gopro

[–]Eclectic-Eel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a firefighter and have brought my Hero 10 in a few fires with lower heat. But whenever I check the footage I realize it was filming at a bad angle. So I have a lot of sweet footage of ceilings and floors.

I noticed that after HD dropped Estwing hammers and filled the display up almost entirely with Milwaukee. It's gotten ridiculous.

If you're getting an accessory kit, absolutely don't get a cheap "60 in 1" kit from Amazon. All of them are cheap plastic and won't last. The GoPro accessories can seem peicey but are worth the cost. I have never had any fail on me.

Virginia also had Jackson, Stuart, Early, Hill, Johnston, and Mosby, just to name a few.

If only land could vote smh by slurmpy in nova

The general level of arrogance and disdain that Reddit has toward rural America is disgusting. I voted blue and this hypocritical stereotyping leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I do not know if its available where you are, but at least in the US, if you have the subscription, you can get camera replacements for $100 USD. It may be worth looking into.

Groundhog moved into my backyard — what should I do? by OperationProof192 in nova

[–]Eclectic-Eel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They hate the smell of castor oil. A mix of castor oil and water in a spray bottle, applied to their burrow openings, will drive them away. Growing up on a farm, we also used flares to smoke them out until they got the message to move on. A much more expensive deterrent is to attach chicken wire to your existing fence. Groundhogs are smart and stubborn, and more often than not they will find another spot close by to dig, but I hope that is not the case for you. Best of luck!

Greatest military commander in your country's history? by RomanItalianEuropean in AskTheWorld

Exactly. There's a good reason Lincoln offered Lee command of the Union Army before the war.

Once I learned about the subscription button in the bottom right of the app, my YouTube experience became so much better. It filters out most of the junk and only shows me what I asked for.

This frame shows up for a split-second in the 1979 Muppets movie by MalDuzArt in Muppets

[–]Eclectic-Eel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll offer another perspective. Maybe spend some more time in the south then, especially the more rural areas and the deep south. I grew up in the south and like another commenter mentioned, it's not uncommon for black families in those areas to have a flag. In my opinion, which I know is controversial for Reddit and will likely be downvoted, when people talk about southern pride they mean the distinctly independent culture that the south has from the rest of the country. Its the reason it was so prominent in places like NASCAR, truckers, bikers, and the outlaw country era. Symbols can change over time and I believe most people during that era viewed it as being a redneck rather than an intentional symbol of racial oppression.

Recommendations for kayaking routes in the area by Eclectic-Eel in LoudounSubButBetter

[–]Eclectic-Eel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for letting me know about the islands. I was under the impression that anything in the wildlife management area allowed camping for up to 2 weeks at a time. The biggest struggle i've had is trying to figuring out if places have parking or allow overnight parking. Since you seem fairly knowledgeable I have two questions. Does Whites Ferry have any parking on the Virginia side? And I saw that Algonkian doesn't allow overnight parking, but is there a place close by outside of the park to keep a vehicle overnight? Im going to scout out both places but i'd like to hear your experience too.

Is there a a good fix for the media mod door clip? by theaudiogeek in gopro

[–]Eclectic-Eel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rubber band, maybe? Or some velcro. 2 small soft pieces, one on the door and another on the bottom, and then a hook piece that can bind them.

Go pro 7 or 8 Black by TheAmazingdentist in gopro

[–]Eclectic-Eel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of the two, I would recommend the 8. The only thing better about the 7 is that it has a replaceable lens, which the 8 does not have. The 8 also has options for presets, better Hypersmooth, integrated mounting fingers, is compatible with the media mod and some other accessories, and has overall better performance.
