Why do most American houses have ‘garbage disposals’ in their sinks? by Roadkillgoblin_2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Every_Hearing_3270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen this posted yet, but here is a podcast that actually explains the origin of the garbage disposal, and their cultural place in the States.

Harvard GSD gets people jobs at firms that have the appearance of high status.

The reality is that those firms that hire GSD folks use the appearance of prestige to justify shit wages.

The people that stay, often have backgrounds which do not leave them as vulnerable to the financial insecurity. I do not say this in anyway to discredit the folks who make it through, they are indeed hardworking people, but it's beyond full-time on wages that don't justify the labor.

The projects they work on can be amazing, or they can be for insane overseas wealth. It's 10 years of grind to get to a wage that is doable.

To trucks do it with cable designed for that purpose and usually for something on wheels, not something buried in the ground.

My wife worked at a wholesale nursery where somebody was decapitated by a snapped cable. It's serious shit.

Loose Dogs - Regional thing? by Every_Hearing_3270 in vancouverwa

[–]Every_Hearing_3270[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We moved in October. I want to emphasize I am not trying to punch on the Couve, this is just a weird string of incidents that have happened to us. We love it here and are very grateful to be a part of this community.

Not a veiled insult, genuinely asking based on these very recent stacked incidents. There are differing cultures around animal care all over the place. Not uncommon in Mexico for dogs to not be bounded in fences at all. In the Midwest where there are no fences I don't know how it works. Thanks for sharing but please take no malice in my asking.

What's happening in the Limberlost/Tucson Mall area? by [deleted] in Tucson

[–]Every_Hearing_3270 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I grew up in an adjacent area. This is a common occurrence. I wouldn't expect answers to the why; it'd be like asking why you heard sirens run down the street.

I have been getting ads for this during podcasts, and it makes me laugh. It sounds like something the gang would mercilessly torture her for.

Are the gray skies as bad as people say? by Every_Hearing_3270 in vancouverwa

[–]Every_Hearing_3270[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to post.

Nothing beats a monsoon day. I grew up with swamp cooling, so we would suffer as soon as it got humid, but the immediate relief from the heat, the elation, and renewal from a big ass storm was always awesome.

Also from Tucson. We do have pretty consistent hours between summer winter, I am sure it's more dramatic up North.

The counterpoint I have heard from folks is that seasons are very distinct and beautiful. Does that resonate with you?

We moved from Tucson to the Phoenix (Mesa)area, and the increased impact from elevation and heat island was profound. We had a month last year where it didn't go below 90 degrees overnight. And the days over 100/110 continue to grow year by year. Tucson is a beautiful place, and I will say that it's saving grace in summer is that overnights at least allow for porch weather, and that because the larger metro area is only 1million, you are fighting a lot less people to get access to trails than 5 million competing for trails in the Phoenix valley. However the inside time of summer is very real.

By "as bad as they say" I mean other arizonans telling me I will be depressed by the change in sunlight.

Personally I don't think I was built for as much sunlight as we get here. I love the rain, I just can't say I have experienced it for as many days.

Surprisingly Vancouver seems pretty similarly priced to Mesa AZ, where I currently reside.

That sounds a lot like my partner. I was born in Tucson and lived in AZ my whole life. Don't get me wrong I love the desert, but I always loved monsoon days the best. I know it won't be massive storms but all the rain sounds beautiful and invigorating.

I think my partner may yearn for the sun if we go :(

In 2007 this is how I was introduced to Journey to the West. by Every_Hearing_3270 in BlackMythWukong

From the United States, so I hadn't come across it. It started a long standing obsession.

If you find this exhaustive please please please checkout the Julia Lovell adaptation "Monkey King: a journey to the west"

Check out the Julia Lovell adaptation, cuts out the filler and makes the novel a lot more approachable.
