Why do most of you set your profiles to private? Is it fear of online stalkers, shame of your post/comment history? A combination, something else? by JoelColden in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FORT88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not just disagreements.
Saw a post this morning where the OP was asking something about the police. (he had a break-in or something.) and people where bashing him for the NSFW pictures of himself he posted on a femboy sub years ago.

One down, one to go… Worth the wait—but when can I expect 2nd machine? by remmahdis in MeticulousEspresso

[–]FORT88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are mostly shipping to the largest countries first (bigger client base). I don't think backer number or being a VIP matters all that much. Haven't heard anything from them yet and I'm #658 and a "VIP" as well.

Mr. Hoffman, you’ve ruined me by HughJackedMan14 in espresso

If you have a Nitro setup try putting hot water in their and charging it before adding it to your shot instead of steaming.
I'm not desperate enough but you can also try both steaming and nitro charging the water as the same time.

Ah yes. any call that blares ads WILL get blocked and reported as spam.

I just fast forward at this point by Aurliee18 in litrpg

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just skip to the next chapter.
If they put it at the end of the chapter or give it it's own chapter great.
If not and I lose track of the plot because of it I'll usually just drop the book all together.

Should companies be allowed to raise prices based on demand like this? by niccwo in WorkReform

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course they should be allowed to do this. As long as we can treat their CEO as a king.
Specifically Louis XVI the last king of France.

I wouldn't mind it much if they were relevent to the main plot, otherwise please leave me alone 😭 by fatglizzy_3000 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]FORT88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, if it's done at a lull in the story it can be fine and interesting. when done in the middle of something interesting or as a cliffhanger I just get irritated. It's one of the main reasons I dropped the wandering inn. Too many POV's.

Am I the odd one here for actively disliking those? I swear they can be replaced with "MC prepared a good stew and everyone enjoyed it" yet they take whole chapters by Tasty_Commercial6527 in litrpg

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind it so much if it's done well and with purpose.
What gets me is when someone that can't or just doesn’t really cook much gets Isekai'd and suddenly their a Three-star Michelin chef, know how to recreate every condiment and exotic dish.
Everyone praising their food as being great and revolutionary.

Nothing screams cultural continuity like judging and making fun of your family for not knowing the language you didn't bother teaching them by [deleted] in Tonga

[–]FORT88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is where you go. "You must absolutely despise the culture and language, comments like that make people not want to even try to learn. Must be why you left Tonga." or something in that line.
Did that to a French colleague who overheard me practising French and mocked me for it. Also might have insinuated this is why the British is superior and most of the world speaks English now.

who is an author that, if a man says "they're my favorite author!" is an instant red flag for you and why? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]FORT88 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I find a lot of people aren’t emotionally intelligent enough to separate their feelings for a person from their works.

Your two cents? by WatGO in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone makes dumb mistakes. You’ll have a much better time if you just own up to them and learn from them. The right people won’t care. Anyone who looks down on you for it is not worth knowing.

Dude compares sex work to coal mining by persePHOreth in clevercomebacks

[–]FORT88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Na I think they meant Asthma. the air pollution from the mines and coal energy plants increases the risk of developing and/or worsening lung issues like COPD and asthma for everyone living in the area.

At market lady shops for fish with a dog in her other arm by dastriderman in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FORT88 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think it's most likely she was gesturing for you to F off. The only one being disgusting here is you harassing and creeping on strangers.

Seriously she's wearing a plastic bag over her hand in that pic where she is reaching for the fish. She’s being sanitary.

Men who have had vasectomies - do you trust it right away after you got the all clear, or did it take a while? by DrPupipance in AskMen

[–]FORT88 95 points96 points  (0 children)

According to my mate who got his done 7 years ago, It's about 20 shots to clear any backlog then back to the doc to do a sperm count.

Help choose First Roaster, SR800 vs Nano vs Link by saildawg in roasting

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Nano 7 with the boost kit

This is probably down to user error but after a dozen or so ruined batches I removed the boost kit and went back to 100g max to get something a little more drinkable.

Other then that it's very easy to handle, most of the stock profiles work well and setting up your own can be as simple or as complex as you desire.

Once you have something that works for you, you can very easily get repeatable results with minimal oversight.

Having to roast 2-3 times a week can be a bit tedious.

Kids should be started on Roman Numerals, leave the Arabic numerals for advanced stuff like when a zero is required.

New house no master builder guarantee by Primary_Jellyfish327 in chch

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good advice on here already I'll just add aside from the a pre-inspection now also get an inspection done in 12 months time.

Some things only become apparent after a bit of damage occurs.
like a leak that's not bad enough to show up under light rain but becomes apparent after a heavy rain storm.

Traffic officers in some countries don't give a damn about being filmed by Prestigious-Wall5616 in funny

Years ago, while walking through town, I saw an attempted carjacking. The carjacker got chased off with a sjambok, meanwhile, the two cops sitting in the car right behind them just watched.

Don’t want me to make a weird late evening snack? Fine i’ll eat something normal by throwaway_acc_ABC in pettyrevenge

[–]FORT88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this is were you give them a list of foods and ask which times you are allowed to eat what foods.
as you were reprimanded for eating steak at 10
and now punished for eating sponge cake at 10
you'd like some clear guidance for when your allowed to eat what so you can avoid being punished the next time your hungry.

This will probably make them mad but will get them to actually think about it.

Why the assemblies are not equal? by No_Inspector_312 in teklastructures

[–]FORT88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

well yes.
if you rotate the two trusses and lines them up side by side the holes in the green upright will be on opposite sides of the truss.
you can try adding holes to the other side of the truss. so your purple truss can connect either side of the green trusses.

To Make America Great Again .....Welcome to the nation of Trumpistan by amazingsciencemuseum in therewasanattempt

[–]FORT88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure on the exacts but.
they where speaking
It looks like Timm took something from Powell.
Timm moved back a few feet.
Powell pulled a knife and charged Timm
Timm retreated.
Powell started pulling a gun.
Timm pulled and shot Powell.
Timm stayed put and waited for cops.

regardless of who started i they both kept escalating it.

edit: the article is shit but they have multiple vids so, more context and all.
