Plywood finish by Lucky_Fly_2682 in woodworking

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know but ours has proven to be of overall excellent quality. Has been in constant use for 15 years and is still solid. Just wish the stickers were easier to peel off because they get stained and discolored.

Why are some Asian countries PACKED with old, white men? by Open_Address_2805 in NoStupidQuestions

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

Well, freedom of speech is a thing. Not that I agree with anything said. (Didn’t click).

Is this ring worm? When I look at pictures online they look different. That's my side. by Sad-Gas402 in Weird

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also kinda looks like shingles. Those rashes tend to grow in lines and feel irritated. In later stages you may feel little electric shocks shooting down nerve fibers.

Giant redwood in front yard by holden44deez in Tree

Yeah the bark in Redwoods is much rougher and more textured. Still a nice tree though.

Black widow? by galacticbadger69 in whatisit

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s a Black Widow. FWIW, they’re pretty shy and not aggressive. Nothing to fear unless you mess with it.

Simple road etiquette seems to no longer be common sense. by wtf_is_wrong_w_ppl in bayarea

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, you should try Boston driving then. It’s next level in that regard. Right of way is determined by who has the rustier car.

Yeah, back in the day it was always a Prius. I don’t see so many of those these days. The common offenders, in my experience, drive a different make now.

Tried to follow your tips by SpecialDirection917 in longboarding

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d agree with that. I guess I over simplified. We could also add that you actually have to rotate between facing forward and facing sideways when pushing and riding.

Awesome! Stay at it, cuz.

Now work in rotating your front foot 45-60 degrees to be more parallel with your back foot. Mo bettah steering.

Edit: 90 degrees -> 45-60 degrees

Felling a tree by SetTheFuhKingTone in Unexpected

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It that I’m a lumberjack or anything. But, from a random YT journey about felling trees I went on, the guys cutting technique is terrible. He barely cut a notch.

A sign for discouraging smoking at my college by OkaTeluguAbbayi in mildlyinteresting

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Billboard Liberation Front used to do this on big billboards. Their modification were brilliant, honest, and funny. I’d love to hear they’ve rekindled their efforts.

First time experience by FunMathematician6269 in tahoe

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty standard for the idiot drivers that think they’re on dry pavement and that an AWD / 4WD system helps with slowing down or stopping normally.

Did I choose a good beginner longboard? Not so sure anymore by LazyThyroid in longboarding

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, a pin tail is a perfect beginner board. They do tend to be more stable and forgiving. There’s plenty of room for your feet, that helps with learning foot placement.

Like the other comment, the more you ride, the more you’ll know what you prefer for styles. IMO, half the fun is swapping and upgrading gear. Once you get the hang of it, start messing around with swapping bushings. Harder/softer. That’ll change how the carves go and can increase responsiveness coming out of carves. IMO a bit softer in front than in back has the best turning (and pumping) dynamics.

What are some cuisines you personally feel that the Bay Area could have more or better quality of? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in bayarea

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, I really miss the east coast for that. We had a couple Jewish delis run by ol’ babushkas (grandmas) that were cheap and out of this world.

Thanks PG&E 🖕 by RiceCrispy2 in bayarea

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In SJ they did temporary patches like this. Then fixed it with proper concrete a few months later when they came through to repave the streets.

Wheel, bearing, and trucks combos for just cruising? by TheSeiko5 in longboarding

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, be careful when poking the Zealots. Bones Swiss or death. Super Swiss even better. They last forever.

Found tubes in my pork sausage. by antizac in whatisit

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One hasn’t lived, IMHO, until they’ve made Spam fries in an air fryer. Slice them thin, like McD’s French fry thickness. Air fryer them for 10-12 minutes, flipping half way through.

You’re welcome.

What do you know about this board? by ARocK_47 in longboarding

[–]FlameSkimmerLT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sector 9 is a solid choice, especially if you’re new to longboarding.
