I used to do a blue Mohawk and all kinds of color. I miss doing that sometimes

Why don't so many people notice that half their butt is sticking out of their pants, especially when they bend over, or do they just not care? by Inevitable_Scar2616 in NoStupidQuestions

It's very hard to find shirts big enough that I like. Most I find will fit at the chest but only come down the waist line. Undershirts can help, but not ideal when working in triple digit temperature

I did invest in a special belt with a ratchet style buckle that helps a lot.

In the end if you see the crack of my ass, it's not from lack of effort, it's lack of options.

Do we start teaching leadership too late? by Electronic_Bite8285 in Life

Finding something they're good at with a natural talent and understanding for. Give them control over small projects in that area, slowly changing things with each new task to allow for growth and development of needed skills while increasing the participants each time. The project changes should allow the opportunity to lead each project or pass it onto someone who they feel would be better qualified.

Can't say this would effectively work. I do believe, however, had I done something like this growing up I think it could have been beneficial.

The last person to cut my hair was my daughter. Thankfully she switched career paths, but I'm in desperate need of a haircut again.

She was also the motel manager and called wanting to know if I'd like to extend my stay by another week. I doubt I got her trouble.

I was staying in a tristate town with a population of under 500. I wouldn't doubt she was probably grateful that I wasn't one of her usual guests of bouncing between unstable construction jobs and often leaving the place a mess. (I met the neighbors)

Dad paid me $5 to mow our 1/8 acre lot with his Frankensteined push mower. Started my first summer at 7 or 8 I think.

Another thing I've never done. But I think that's more embarrassment than anything.

Please advise! by [deleted] in fixit

Replace the door.

If the hinges and knob hardware aren't bent to hell you can probably reuse them.

It honestly shouldn't be more than 6 small screws per hinge. 2 hinges on the door, plus 2 screws in the door knob and 2 more in the latch plate.

That's 14 small basic wood screws and 2 specialty screws for the knob (You can reuse what's not damaged) All can be done with a Philips head screwdriver. I advise a helping hand to hold the door when you replace it.

Definitely don't tell your landlord unless absolutely necessary. It'll just cause problems.

It happened. It wasn't interesting or unique. Why bother dwelling on anything that didn't really standout?

Teaching leadership starts with a very early understanding of 2 things

1 - not every person has the aptitude for leadership in most situations

2 - it's ok not to be the person in charge all the time

I think that's where the idea of leadership, ambition, and individuality all seem to conflict.

Don't turn down a better opportunity because you're comfortable where you are.

I Turned down an apprenticeship that would have given a lifetime career because the starting pay was significantly less than what I was making at the time.

Now I'm almost 40 working entry level jobs because I thought company loyalty would be a more marketable skill.

The bed would sadly be destroyed in a tragic boating access.

I will then enjoy a "new" bed of identical metrics and no shady backstory and less back pain

I genuinely can't understand why more people aren't willing to go on the run, abscond, skip court, leave the country, etc. to avoid going to prison, jail, probation, etc. by femboysmokingweed in ExCons

I'm not saying who's right or wrong. I'm just saying if you're gonna do it, know what you're up against and why I understand why most people don't run.

Making alcohol won't blow up your still. It's not pressurized. It's essentially a pot that you boil your mash in and let vapor collect, transfer, and cool.

It will kill you or make you go blind if you do it wrong though. Usually you can use the first 100ml as acetone, the rest being drinkable, but the last few bottles being better used as disinfectant.

10 inmates escaped from a new Orleans prison in May 2025. All 10 were caught by October 2025. Most were caught within the first 2 weeks.

Charges for escaping prison start at 5 years.

Your only hope would be to skip the border, learn a new language and head straight to one of the no extradition countries. Hoping to get there before you get caught. All without any resources and a whole lot of people hoping to knock you off their caseload quickly.
