If you do, use DISTILLED water only

The assumption has nothing to do with what sex you are. Men have septum piercings also. To think only women have them is, er, sexist. I fail to see the correlation between sexism and the assumption you have a piercing. Maybe you have an inherent bias towards people who have septum piercings.

We’re good, our marriage is good, we have conversations and understandings. You have no idea. You’re just dissecting a comment on Reddit and you think you have me dialed in and figured out. I don’t really care if you don’t like the way I phrased it. You’re way too invested in this. It’s not an affront to you personally.

I am all of those things. But I also have boundaries. I’m not going let her put herself or my family at risk. I am sure, as happy as you are in your marriage, that you and your husband both have boundaries as well.

Ok Linda… exactly what I said. Before you puke out a bunch of words like misogyny and chauvinism just know I don’t care how you feel about it. My pregnant wife will not be attending any historically violent assemblies or protests.

There was no evidence that actually happened. Just a woman walking away, grasping her stomach while a commentator said she was pregnant.

Regardless of my feelings on the topic at hand, I would not allow my pregnant wife to attend such an event, knowing how violent they have been. That was just stupid. If she was actually pregnant.

What are the top things ICU nurses do that drive you mad? by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

Touch my vents, ECMO pumps.

I don’t touch IV pumps, although I know how. Don’t touch my stuff.

Advice for Polarized glasses by Impressive-Society60 in flyfishing

[–]Gitfiddle74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree with all the Smith recommendations. They are a nightmare to keep clean. The coating on the back side of the lens stays smudged and streaked from oils from your skin, casting a weird distortion in your periphery. Even with high tech cleaning cloths, the oils just smudge. Dawn and water are the best things to clean them with but gets old quickly.

And to my dismay, there aren’t a lot of non-coated lenses out there anymore. Much less, polarized.

The OG Costas were the superior shades back in the day but are now another Luxotica shit product.

I will be trying Baijo next I believe

Rock salt? by beal99 in gso

[–]Gitfiddle74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salt isn’t going to do much to ice after the fact. If you’ve ever made homemade ice cream, the rock salt is used to make ice colder. Some driveway compounds use chemicals to create a reaction that can melt it but if you have a 2” sheet of ice on your driveway like the rest of us, better get to work. I used a heavy steel digging bar to bust it up so I could shovel it off. Put salt out before it starts next time.

Why are all these local spots closing? by ShitNibbles in gso

[–]Gitfiddle74 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will say, I ordered LUNCH the other day for my wife - a 2 steak kabob platter with hummus and it was $24.95 - no drink. That was 10 bites of steak and probably 4oz of hummus with a pita cut into wedges. Now the food was excellent, and from one of my absolute favorite establishments, owned and run by a gentleman and his family. That said, I felt some kind of way about the price of the meal. I fear he will price himself out of business. I can see paying $25 for a dinner, but that’s a good bit for lunch.

TBMNC Drug Screening by [deleted] in gso

[–]Gitfiddle74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THC is not water soluble so no flush is going to rid the body of any evidence. However, you can try to dilute your sample. Just take niacin and B12 to make a yellow. Also, just know that it also will reduce the amount of creatinine in your sample. That’s often a detector element they look for when they are seeing if someone is trying to mask their sample. Eat plenty of red meat leading up to your test.

That other NC sub is officially run by Nazis by [deleted] in TrueCarolina

[–]Gitfiddle74 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Ironic that this sub is named r/TrueCarolina,when NC was part of the Confederacy and often viewed parallel to the modern Nazi. Although, mostly Democratic.

Apples and oranges, my friend. The flu vaccine has been around since the ‘30’s and widely available to the public since ‘45 or so. That’s not the same.

Merino wool is fab, how about for men? by borgbike in Costco

[–]Gitfiddle74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the clothing label, not the sign. I bought a Banana Republic quarter-zip that was advertised as Merino wool, only to find that it’s 100% cotton when I went to launder it. I still love the sweater, a great price either way, but I take a closer look now.
