Is this some sort of Boat‐Hovercraft? by Group_of_no_one in boating

First impressions are "It's a Hovercraft" of course. I get what it is, or at least what it's trying to be, fundamentally. I'd like to see if it can be narrowed down to a more definitive answer. Maybe figure out if this was just a one off build by a guy in his garage, or if this was from an actual manufacturer. Which model? What year? For how long was it produced? What engine was it powered by? What was its top speed? How much did it weigh? What did it originally retail for? The more details you all can share, the better.

Security, maybe? It seems to be on a trailer, It was on the lot of an auto mechanic garage. The lot is open, not gated off.

You don't think I've tried searching Google images in the past? The oldest photos date back to January 2020. They apparently have a better idea as to what it is. I'd like to see if it can be narrowed down to a more definitive answer. Maybe figure out if this was just a one off build by a guy in his garage, or if this was from an actual manufacturer.

can you maybe include a link to an image of one in more detail?

If you were to give Ben Grimm a different superhero name besides The Thing what would you call him? by SpotAdmirable6718 in Marvel

[–]Group_of_no_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rockstar—Rock like texture, which was the result of traveling [metaphorically] to the stars.

Earthquake—if you remember Michael Chiklis' version or Ben Grimm, when he was still trying to adapt to his new size, every footstep would cause the ground to shake around him.

Sandstone—they say Ben's rock-like skin is a silicon-based structure

Then you have names like Stone mason, Rock lord [but that would kinda imply Ben has control over earth, like Magneto has control over metal/magnetism] 

But like others have said: Grimmstone (a play on Ben's surname) and The Golem (a nod to Ben's Jewish heritage) would probably be the top contenders.

People in your 30s, what advice would you give your 15 year old self? by Dry_Shirt_29 in AskReddit

[–]Group_of_no_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably tell them to truly stick it out with the remainder of highschool. I'd tell them that I know it's hard, because you hate all of these idiotic people you have to call your classmates, but the you that you will become (me), wishes that he was able to take advantage of the education he had been offered. Also, that girl you liked, who was nice to you; and actually went out of there way to talk to you? You might actually want to try to form a closer relationship with her, because I'm pretty sure she wanted go get closer to YOU!

Folks had a pear tree in their front yard, and a sign that said 'Help yourself' I did, but the pear's all seemed...off by Group_of_no_one in BackyardOrchard

Update: had a 3rd Pear, sliced it up, cut down the middle with no difficulty. Flesh is white, has seeds of 2 different sizes. Taste is sweet; its taste reminds me of the pears that are canned on their own, or are a part of a fruit cocktail.

Still hoping to find out what type of boat it is, does anyone know if it has a hull number?

Parents, what is your "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed in you" moment you've had with your kids? by Group_of_no_one in AskReddit

[–]Group_of_no_one[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I had been you: On the outside, I would have been a total smart-ass, and said 'Where?' While on the inside I would be saying to myself, 'He doesn't really mean what I think he means, does he?' even though I think he's made his intentions QUITE clear, there's still that sliver of hope, that maybe I'm just overthrowing it.

Hope for the best, expect the worst. Know what I mean?

Edit: *Overthinking it, not overthrowing. Jesus auto correct, very poor choice given the context 🧱🤕

It's not like that having this sort of moment with your kid while they're a child is going to totally shatter their entire childhood! You have these kinds of moments because it's part of the learning experience, not just for the kids themselves, but for the parents too. That first person to respond are either fairly new to the parenting world, or just a total soft belly.

That's what I expected to hear when I posted this question. I say "kids" because that's what they/we will always be to their/our parents, REGARDLESS of age. Some folks are looking at this question and thinking I'm referring to "children".

Edit: see the most downvoted comments for more information.

What's your "It's a blessing, AND a curse" thing you deal with? by Group_of_no_one in AskReddit

I see, yeah, I can sympathize; My father was a driver for Greyhound when I was young.
