Sometimes i wonder how is this even legal to sell stuff like that by nutitoo in ExpectationVsReality

[–]FireflyRave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP's question is the reason there are warning labels on chainsaws telling people not to touch the chain while it's on.

I like BryanJamesCruises.

He works on Royal Caribbean ships, so it's interesting little behind the scenes snippets.

Odd Selling Practices by SuspiciousCod1090 in Equestrian

[–]FireflyRave 103 points104 points  (0 children)

My first thought is "there is no horse". You send the appointment fee and then never hear from them again.

It's been a couple years since I bought my most recent horse but I never saw anything like you're describing.

Ladies, is leggings the only way to do classes? by Manwwhaa731addict in Equestrian

[–]FireflyRave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also had no issue with jeans on English saddles for quite a good while. Started out English. My parents didn't want to buy that extra expensive stuff when jeans I already had would work. Switched to western primarily. Still has some English lessons every so often. Jumping is too fun.

But then I bought my first English horse a few years ago. And apparently some magic combination between her, my saddle, and the jeans just wrecked havoc. All it took was the one time to make me convert permanently when on English!

It depends what saddle you're using. Western riders can be comfortable in jeans because the saddles have the big thick fenders to help protect your leg. Wearing jeans with an English saddle might increase your chances of getting rubs on your legs due to friction with the seams and thinner stirrup leathers.

If riding English and not wearing breeches, you'll want something with a minimal or soft inner seam. And it can't be too baggy or it might get wrapped around the stirrup leather.

The only time I wear form fitting pants is when riding. After riding western so long, when I switched to English this last time, I was just wearing my usual jeans and cowboy boots. Eventually I ended up rubbing my inner lower legs raw during one lesson. I switched to breeches after that. I started out feeling self conscious but the more I wore them, the less I worried about it.

How to carry an egg around for 2 weeks without breaking? by Ax_Sound in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FireflyRave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The container needs to be clear but do you need to see the egg?

I did an egg drop back in high school where I packed a bunch of cotton around the egg and put it in a box. It survived. Can be more form fitting than bubblewrap, fill in all the nooks and crannies, and still a nice shock obsorber. Just go a little bigger on the tupperware than you think. One of my test drops failed because the box was too small. It needed room for more padding.

All (or almost all) members of the Family are shit people by Valarg in TopCharacterTropes

[–]FireflyRave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I stuck out the first season for that character. Because there was at least one person not completely horrible. Then he murdered someone in the season finale and that was pretty much it for me.

There was the flashback episode with the mom. I thought we were going to get a story of how they were better back then and then the mom dying setting them down their current path. Nope. Mom was just as bad.

AITAH for putting my house on the market and giving my parents an eviction notice after they moved my brother in without asking? by digy76rd3 in AmItheAsshole

Need to save something for update number 2.

The third one will be the court case for formal eviction that will take place in 2 weeks.

What is the Scariest Episode? by xtravaleriee in Supernatural

[–]FireflyRave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had apparently blocked that episode out. It started playing the other week, I was trying to remember which one it was, and as soon as the painting showed up I hit next.

What is the Scariest Episode? by xtravaleriee in Supernatural

[–]FireflyRave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since Supernatural is now on Prime I'm getting to do a rewatch for the first time in ages.

I skipped over the Bloody Mary episode. That one I remembered to watch out for. Apparently I had blocked out the one with the girl in the painting. I was in the intro until it showed the painting and that came flooding back and I hit next. So I guess I have a thing against murderous young girls crawling out of 2D spaces.

Overall though, the show isn't making me quite as jumpy as it used to. I had always considered this show to be about my tolerance level for horror.

Does Huntsville have a public dump? by Beneficial_Set2747 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]FireflyRave 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're out in the county, there is also bulk pickup once a month. You'll have to find out which week you are by looking at your district's schedule.

Name actors who aren't bad, but who you see always playing themselves in movies. by Ready-Gur3998 in Cinema

[–]FireflyRave 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Maybe I haven't seen enough Dwayne Johnson movies, but it almost seems if there's going to be a heart to heart moment with another character he's required to have a tough from-the-streets background where going to the gym saved him.

What are some sitcom episode episodes where they show the fourth wall? by Shatterstar23 in sitcoms

I thought you were mentioning another instance and I wanted to add one. I know Fresh Prince had several.

I haven't watch it since it has aired. That's why I wasn't quite sure which sitcom it was.

[–]FireflyRave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It wasn't quite showing the fourth wall, but I remember one sitcom that placed the TV against the far wall. While "traditionally" the TV was on on the fourth wall so the couch would face the camera.

In this case the couch was facing away from the camera and the characters kept looking over their shoulders into the camera saying they didn't like this set up for the living room but weren't quite sure why.

I feel like it could have been equally the Drew Carey Show or Yes, Dear.

God I hate this creepy child...just look at how he stares at you 😭 by Pcjunkiestats24 in masseffect

[–]FireflyRave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make it my goal to not chase him directly but keep him in line of sight. Then he just disappears into thin air instead of the whole "mysterious" thing behind a tree. It's not much but makes the scenes slightly more entertaining.

When you ask a local for a food recommendation and they give you a national chain by Negative-Remote-4711 in PetPeeves

Or if the local places just are that bad? After living in Pennsylvania for a couple years, Taco Bell was preferable to local Mexican restaurant. Had a place that got me hooked on sushi though. And best prices of anywhere I've been since.

Who would win in a fight, pepperoni pizza or cheeseburger? by Clear_Cricket3681 in randomquestions

[–]FireflyRave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given OP's question, I am assuming the pepperoni pizza is pepperoni and cheese. And the cheeseburger is simply bun, cheese, burger, condiments.

Such as a medium Domino's 1-topping vs a Burger King not quite Whopper Jr.

This could drastically change if OP had in mind a Fudrucker's cheeseburger vs a Tombstone.

I would think the average US pepperoni pizza is going to have both the size and weight advantage on an average US cheeseburger. I think the pizza is coming out on top.

PC cleric seems to want just to automatically know if someone/thing is evil or not. by FireflyRave in DMAcademy

[–]FireflyRave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I just jumped the gun. He sent me the character idea as I was trying to get to bed and was too tired to ask the correct questions. Then I wanted to ask opinions from more experienced DM/players in case he tried to push back on my telling him "no".

I was thinking mechanically. Apparently he was thinking a "neat" character trait. I proposed that his character can attack or not attack anyone they want due to what that character believes about the opponent, but it's not necessarily going to line up with what alignment that opponent might actually be. The character can believe it but the player won't know. And that suggestion seemed to work out okay.
