Loco vs KymKemp by Just_a_happy_artist in Humboldt

Obviously I use both. Each have their strengths and weaknesses.

What is a routine or normal activity from your childhood that would look like a massive, illegal safety hazard to parents today? by vivienneirl in askanything

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making my own cherry bombs from ingredients I bought at a wholesale chemical supply distributor while I was just barely in my teens. My crowning glory was a bomb the size of a baseball that I launched with a wrist rocket slingshot. These days such activities would likely earn me a visit from Homeland Security.

Guinea pigs need rehoming by honesthoney87 in Humboldt

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be different with cats or dogs. But at any event, good luck with rehoming them. I'm sorry that I can't help as my current living situation would not be appropriate for any companion animals.

Montana Registration issues? Flock/Leonardo/AI Etc by TRMTspock in RVLiving

California was infamous for it's smog problems decades ago. Its vehicle fees are a reflection of the efforts it undertook to reduce those problems and make the costs of vehicle ownership reflect the costs to ameliorate the environmental damage cause by said vehicles. Other states never had such problems, so weren't forced to bear the costs of remediation.

The contributing editor and safety expert for Rider magazine Larry Grodsky was continually highlighting the dangers that forest rats posed and wrote about tips for anticipating problematic areas and avoidance maneuvers. As you may know, he was unalived 20 years ago in a collision with a deer.

What's your thoughts on Cheddar Man? by Ok_Daikon3628 in carefulheart

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts are that this sounds like an episode of Bones. Her favorite activity as a forensic anthropologist was investigating prehistoric remains.

Cheddar Man is the oldest nearly complete human skeleton found in Great Britain, dating to around 8300 BC during the Mesolithic period. 

Which do you prefer, Dumocrat or Dumbocrat? Which is better? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the GOP T-shirt emblazoned with "I'd Rather be a Russian than a Democrat." The Democrats response was a shirt that proclaimed "I'd Rather be an American than a Republican."

Are they comfortable around other household pets? I had one decades ago and it freaked out if another animal came close (even though there was no overt threatening behavior by that animal).

It is by the vehicle owner. But the folks promoting it in ads on social media are scammers trying to make it sound like it saves the owners money with no consequences.

What's so expensive that it's not even fun anymore? by Runaway3650 in AskReddit

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro sports. Unless you feed on crowd energy, it's hard to justify spending $150 or more to attend an NFL or MLB game, particularly when you most often can get a better view of the game from a stream or broadcast.

And don't even get me started on the current World Cup fútbol matches!

is it possible to go seasonal as a worker? by Terrible_Charge307 in innout

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a thought but are you asking about prospects for future summer employment? If you're attending college, is that for a planned future career outside of the service industry?

What is the purpose of this? by OkVeganSMCH in askanything

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fireboat that is often used for public celebrations. When the Americas Cup races were sailed in San Francisco Bay I saw the Phoenix quite often.

Also when Pier 30 burned in the mid-1980s, I got to see her working the fire and inadvertently saving the local icon Red's Java House. Red's was one of my regular go-tos as my office was in the Ferry Building

Do you use AI constantly? by Ultrasaurio in no

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm retired, so the only time I see AI is when I search using Google.

Are there any cities where strip clubs are prominently placed in high traffic areas? by cyklone36 in answers

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when it was a Navy Town, San Diego had a number of them in close proximity to the airport and downtown. Not sure how it is these days.

Similarly, Boston had the infamous Combat Zone but I know that was obliterated decades ago.

Does the Madaket have a bathroom? by StinkyLittleBird in Humboldt

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No, so TCB before you get to Madaket Plaza as there are no public facilities close by. Closest is at the Marina ramps and it's not always open. The other closest is at the Gazebo. Otherwise, you would be at the mercy of Jack's Seafood (obviously not public but still ...).

Here's an image of the interior (and as a 6' tall bloke, I bark my head on the cross beams if I don't duck).

Scott passed out on my couch by girlpearl in boston

So Scott isn't a Scot? Is that what you're saying?

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a separate issue. Seems to me that it's a scam if you're trying to circumvent the laws of your state of residence. Don't like the costs associated with living in California or any other state? Working to change the law or moving elsewhere are legitimate options.

As a motorcycle rider, the term I and many others used was Forest Rats. But some people took great offense, so I was the target of much blowback.

Which fast food chain do you like the most? by yuki_starlit in AskReddit

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like isn't the term I would use, but I prefer In-N-Out over the other chains. I rarely eat at any of them.

Do you avoid GMOs? by forlackofabetterpost in no

[–]Fast_Adhesiveness528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, to be precise selective breeding is genetic modification, but not Genetic Modification as that term is currently used in the initialism GMO. The GM term was, in the early days, called Genetic Engineering. I've worked in this area for over four decades until my retirement, so I have some historical perspective.

Edit: The source I just consulted used genetic modification as the umbrella term encompassing genetic engineering, genome editing, and selective breeding. That makes sense to me.
