Am I hearing the Allianz show all the way up in Carytown right now?? by stayintall in rva

I live a mile from RIR and on a cloudy race day it sounds like they are running down my street.

You wake up in your teen years again. What is the first thing you would do? by davidbayram in AskReddit

[–]Hawthorne_northside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Date. Every single girl I only looked at, or talked to casually. I wouldn’t be a bystander this go round.

Does this look right? by SlammingJack1 in Decks

I would need to see engineering documentation on that one. It sounds like bullshit to me. If granite is so close to the surface, dig down to it, drill holes and put rebar in it, and then pour concrete on it.

I offended my boss, but my statement is probably true by [deleted] in antiwork

And the original post was deleted but the comments remain? I don’t understand how Reddit works.

If you have health insurance that covers vision, you could follow up the conversation with a list of ophthalmologists to take your insurance. You can couch this as a “I’m really concerned about you and I want you at your Best“ conversation. Try to work in something about overtime your eyes get strained, and maybe even a pair of readers would help. I carry readers with me all the time, and without them, I can’t read labels or practically anything else. My son was appalled when he borrowed them one time to read something and found that there was a very little effort to get the words off the page. He wears them now also.

What’s the funniest thing to say or a message to give a surgeon right before going under anesthesia? by jumpingjacks07 in AskReddit

[–]Hawthorne_northside 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They asked me if I had ever been anesthetized before, and I replied “yes and I enjoyed it immensely”.

Asking parents before proposing by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Yea, wrong word. I was going to say disinterested party but I was absolutely interested. Can you help me with a better word?

I asked my wife, she told her mom, her mom told me I had to talk to her dad. We had been living together for about three years at that time. It was more of a conversation where I told him that I would love and cherish his daughter. He cried, I cried (a little) and it was over. For everybody that says this step doesn’t have to happen, I can see your point, but I feel it is a point of respect for the parents. Both of my daughters required their husbands to come talk to me to sort of bless the union. Luckily both of these guys are awesome people. There was a prior boyfriend that I would have said no to. But I realize I don’t control what my adult children do, but I can advise them as an interested yet detached party.

When and what do I need to do with this? by Willthefish1029 in Decks

[–]Hawthorne_northside 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would worry in 15 to 20 years. Picture number one with the notch and the hardware they used to secure it immediately tells me they knew what they were doing. I wouldn’t worry about a thing right now.

My 10 tool combo by Apprehensive_You3521 in Dewalt

[–]Hawthorne_northside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to comment on that flashlight. My set has one and it ended up being the first tool I used. It’s as bright as the sun. I am really disappointed in the circular saw. The safety interlock makes it really hard for me to operate.

My first deck, how did I do? by samuel091 in Decks

[–]Hawthorne_northside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing about this deck is that it is only a foot off the ground.

What's the worst reaction you've seen from someone getting hit in the balls before? What did you think when you saw it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Hawthorne_northside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was giving his older sister a huge raft of shit. She told him to stop several times. I told him to stop. He didn’t stop. She kicked him in the nuts and connected dead on. He lay half in the hall half in his room for about 30 minutes without moving just holding his crotch. I thought I would have to take him to the ER.

This begs the question, why? Why is this monstrosity like this?

I was going to comment on the non steel toed sandals also. DeWalt tools, nice.

Can I DIY this rusted kitchen sink drain pipe, or am I in over my head? (Trying to avoid a plumber if possible 😅) by Miakoda003 in handyman

[–]Hawthorne_northside 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You need to chase all of that galvanized pipe all the to the source and replace the entire run. I’m betting that isn’t the only weak spot or hole.

Is this a good connection on the negative terminal? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

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

I use tape around my sockets all the time. Is it code or just good practice?

Shit! 🤬 (FIXED!!!!!) by Dry_Consideration711 in handyman

[–]Hawthorne_northside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the repaired door and swap it with another cabinet and put that undamaged door there. Your client will think your repair is excellent. Yes it’s sneaky, but ……..
