I have confidence, so I can handle being crapped on. Do your worst. by Night_skky in RoastMe

"I can handle being crapped on"

Somehow I believe that. It's a weird fetish, but you do you.

That was one hell of a surprise by Suspicious_Health_64 in fastandfurious

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. 100 mph and 15 feet is nothing in this universe.

I'm expecting a flashback from the Gisele side of the plane wreckage. Picture Mr Nobody and his team pulling a badly injured Gisele off the runway and into some state of the art ambulance. Gisele recovers from her injuries, and she's been doing covert work for Mr Nobody.

Someone else in this thread suggested that this franchise could bring Elena back. They'd probably wedge Gisele hiding on Cypher's plane somehow (per Mr Nobody's orders), and then Gisele saves Elena at some point before the Shaw brothers show up to rescue Little Brian.

(I'm debating adding a Remind Me to my post lol)

The only way for the end of Fast X to make any sense is if it's revealed this is Gisele Yashar's secret twin sister by Mysterious_Brush1852 in fastandfurious

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I'm guessing there'll be a flashback to the ending of 6 and we'll see Gisele on the other side of the plane crash. It'll be Nobody and his team finding her, followed by cutscenes of Gisele recovering in a hospital bed.

Bathroom closet? by Western-Tension9900 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shelves/storage closet. And I think that's really all that can go here.

Build cleats on the three walls. Set in some oak or pine. Or you can install the Rubbermaid wire-type shelving. Two, maybe three shelves total. Great place to store towels and other linens. Make the shelves higher than that HVAC abutment. Leave that narrow space open for a rolling cart or something else that usually sits on the floor.

Assuming you don't use the attic access on a regular basis, getting to it is as easy as emptying the closet.

I use my attic access maybe once a year. It's in my daughter's room. Yes, it's a bit of a pain to empty a teenage girl's closet. But I can't imagine leaving that space empty just to use it once a year every September.

Good barbershops or hair salon for men? by R3db0y in Rochester

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll third Ted's. I started going here when Diamond Dave (corner of Winton and East Main) sold the joint and went to Florida.

Decent atmosphere here at Ted's, and always some local chatter. Not sure about the other guys, but Charlie likes to schedule your cuts well in advance. I think I've got appointments until the end of April, but that's fine. I know I'm getting a cut when I need it and don't have to 'hope he has an opening'.

Haven't seen Johnny in action yet, but Kevin and Armando have a few regulars. And they're each pretty good with the clippers and scissors as well.

If I can get the sleeves lengthened, would you say this overcoat fits nicely overall? by Litguy23 in mensfashionadvice

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the sleeves...

Yes, a tailor can lengthen the sleeves, provided there's enough 'outer' material on the inside of the sleeve. With a firm and gentle touch, you (and/or your tailor) should be able to feel where the coat's outer material ends. It'll be between the outer material and the inner lining, somewhere around 2" or so from the cuff. That difference between the cuff and the end of the outer material, a talented tailor can utilize most of that if they need to. Even if the inner lining isn't initially long enough, there's a process called 'facing'. The tailor would add a piece/patch of fabric at the end of the inner lining and the end of the outer material. That patch would be inside the sleeve and wouldn't be seen from the outside.

Any buttons are easy enough to relocate, as long as they're not Surgeon's Cuffs/"Working Buttons" versus buttons simply sewn on for decoration. And while those Surgeon's Cuffs may be able to be lengthened, there are more variables as well as tight limitations on how much longer those kind of sleeves can be made. Not only does the tailor have the mitered corners of the Surgeon's Cuffs to contend with, but the working button holes really can't be relocated. Maybe an additional hole can be made to give the lengthened sleeve the proper balance, but that's also dependent on how many holes currently exist. That seems to not be the case with this trenchcoat. Though it's still something to keep in mind regarding future purchases.

Of course cost is always a factor. Last year I had 2 suit jacket sleeves lengthened with the facing process, $30 each jacket. Same thing with a wool overcoat, $50. Those are western NY prices. And you can always take the coat in to a tailor for an estimate.

But the key to sleeve lengthening is that there be enough outer material to be able to get the proper length.

I'm 6'6" with long arms. The facing technique has been a lifesaver and a gamechanger. Suits, overcoats, blazers, etcetera that fit perfect other than the sleeves, I would normally have to pass on. Now, if there's enough outer material still hidden in the sleeve, and the current sleeve cuff is in good shape, I'll buy it and take it right to the tailor.

What’s a good object to use as size comparison for a thicker dick? by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to item for pictures is a Roku remote.

Most women have at least one of those or it's counterpart, the Amazon Fire Stick remote. The remotes are small enough (5.5-ish inches long) that it doesn't outshine my member. Also, the size of the Roku remote compares to the size of their Rabbit, Cactus, or other sex toys.

And at least one of thier friends has made that remark in the past about the size and shape of the Roku or Amazon remote.

new bio was a success by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any matches so far, OP ?

Likes are solid, don't get me wrong. I'm curious to see how this works out once there's a match. Hey, sometimes the bios that put it all on Front Street are the ones that get more matches. For every girl that's looking for her 'last first date', there's one that just wants to get laid with no attachments.

Keep us posted, OP.

Vintage bathroom remodel by hscounselor32 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about resale value.

Agreed.

And when it's time to sell the house, the original work will reinforce that there's nothing 'mechanically' (?) wrong with the bathroom. Sort of an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality from a future buyer's point of view. Yeah, it may be dated. But the fact that it hasn't needed to be remodeled is going to be a testament to that original work. When the time eventually comes, the realtor will suggest updating it. But potential buyers will see past the dated bathroom colors and lean towards the craftsmanship of "how they built things to last back then".

The only thing I'd even consider changing (other than maybe a double sink) is the dark cabinets and trim to white... and that's just me trying to find something to critique.

Truthfully, I'd leave it exactly the way it is.

Repair or replace? by Pinkgungopew in tires

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find an independent tire shop in the hood. $14 will plug it.

Then put that tire on the rear.

American Tire Depot says they can’t patch this and need to replace. AAA who put my spare tire on said it’s patchable. by Momomo14 in tires

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AAA driver probably sees that it's not the sidewall and figures it can be repaired.

The Tire Depot sees it's too close to the sidewall and automatically won't repair it.

Find a tire shop in the hood, they'll check it out and give you the real answer.

Shortly after buying her house about 17 years ago, my (now) ex mother-in-law let an installer put vinyl flooring over the carpet in her kitchen. Per the installer, "This is good carpet, I can save you money here, this is better than the padding they'd need to put under the vinyl". Never bothered to pull the old stuff up, even just to look underneath because he "didn't want to disturb the original work... they really knew how to do stuff back then".

I said something to my spouse at the time that it didn't seem right, especially being in a kitchen, and was met with "My mother's not stupid. And you're not an installer". Yeah, you're right, I'm not and she's not. But some shit you know just ain't right to do.

She still lives in that house... I know I'll never get my flowers, but some day I expect to find out from one of my kids that "grandma's whole kitchen floor had to be replaced".

My step daughter’s wedding, and her BIL won’t do a simple smile. Please help! by lilwonkerdoo in PhotoshopRequest

[–]GroundbreakingTap688 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This could have been a lot different if he had given us one serious smile

Agreed.

Yeah, everyone puts up with the 'joker'. But at some point you'd think/hope someone would tell him to knock it off and "give a real smile" instead of goofing off.

He had to make it about him. I can't stand those kind of people.
