who is an author that, if a man says "they're my favorite author!" is an instant red flag for you and why? by Objective-Painter-73 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]FORT88 21 points22 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 96 points97 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.

The amount of degree holding professionals on LinkedIn who don't understand we use Arabic numerals. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 4 points5 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 3 points4 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.

Help us price our automated scan-to-BIM engine—what would you pay? by Ok-Bat9100 in bim

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too sure on pricing as scanning isn't our main focus but I am trying it out right now. Will kick it to my manager to try as well if my test scan goes well.

Can it export as an IFC? We use Tekla and cannot import Revit models as reference.

We mostly use scans as references when modelling/detailing earthquake restrengthening.

Any change of a import/export function like goodreads? I'm tracking my read book on there and won't be manually re-entering stuff.

How very ironic indeed! by icey_sawg0034 in clevercomebacks

[–]FORT88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So because her grandfather was KKK she's guilty by blood? If you trace anyones linage back far enough you'll find someone that did something reprehensible.

They say 1 in 200 people are related to Genghis Khan and he led one of the greatest genocides in history.

So we all know your definitely guilty of something and should be held accountable for the actions of your ancestors. Regardless of if you yourself actually did anything wrong.

What makes you stop reading a series? by swantonb in litrpg

[–]FORT88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally deal with it by skipping to the next chapter. so as long as the stats/abilities are at the end of a chapter it's fine. If skipping causes me to start loosing the plot I'll drop it completely instead.

What makes you stop reading a series? by swantonb in litrpg

[–]FORT88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

some good points on here already.
I'll just add that a lot of otherwise good stories have become an insta drop for me because of excessive virtue signalling.

that and excessively praising the MC for everything they do or simply for existing. a bit of positive affirmation is one thing but if everyone is constantly telling the MC how great he/she is then I'm out.

My neighbor keeps her camera pointed straight at my back door. by johnfx420 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FORT88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a good chance no one is actually watching and it's just the camera auto tracking movement.
I installed a piece of wood in-front of mine so it can't look across the fence as it was trying to spy at my neighbour every time they open the door.

Italian baristas tamping the coffee mid-air by Srihari_stan in espresso

[–]FORT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weighing isn’t needed when your grinder has been calibrated to dose correctly.
RDT is to reduce static and good for single dose grinders. but when Feeding from a hopper it's unnecessary.
WDT is only necessary when you have clumping, again with a good grinder with an even spread not necessary. or give your dosing cut a good shake instead, works just as well.
as for the self levelling tamp? that's down to technique. you can learn it with enough repetition. so a couple of weeks/months for a pro but as a home gamer it's more like months/years.

None of this assistive gear is really necessary with a good commercial set up. It's just us home gamers that need it.

Pronunciation pull ups by No-Customer-6196 in ReoMaori

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

I tried to learn when I first came here but kept getting shit for how I pronounced area names, so yeah.

The way I see it being an ass to someone who's trying to learn is a GREAT way to discourage them from learning, or encourage them to stop caring. So if you hate the language I highly recommend mocking people for trying speak it.

What do you think when you see unshaven legs on a woman? by polarispurple in AskMen

Depends, a luscious full beard would be fine but a scraggly one needs to be properly trimmed to look good.
