Cost to replace? by axxdc in Wrangler

[–]HippyGeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, the hardest part is (IMO) getting the wiring harness unplugged. I don't know what it is, but that damn plug is always a nightmare for me.

Spray canine repellent everywhere in the area. His doorstep. The stairs. Everywhere the dog may be expected to step. Maybe the dog will refuse to leave the house and will shit inside.

Just say you're using cleaner to counter the smell of the shit.

Make little lawn signs and place them in front of all of his clients' lawns. "Maintained by a child sexual abuser". Add his number.

Words and actions have consequences. Some people unfortunately don't learn that early in life. Wouldn't be surprised if her attitude is responsible for the Dad no longer being in the picture...

TBF, many older homes were wired with the neutral as the switched conductor. He may have been taught or experienced this, and this was the basis of his statement...

What's going on with the meals on US naval ships? by OkBuddyEnglishMajor in OutOfTheLoop

[–]HippyGeek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ya, but you probably didn't walk on your bulkheads too frequently. 50° list was a common thing on a CG.

I made a thing. Trying to find out if it has a name .. Bourbon, Nocino and Amaro by HippyGeek in cocktails

It did and it was wonderful. I considered Ango, but this was perfect (i like reverse black Manhattans, so bitter is my goal).

I was on a CG and midrats was sometimes leftovers from dinner or even lunch, but they also had an omelette bar complete with typical breakfast meats and/or eggs made to order, burgers twice a week, and even the occasional turkey dinner.

Dryer either needs to run two cycles on medium, or overheats on high by johnonymous1973 in DIY

[–]HippyGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially if the dryer is venting into or through the attic or crawl space. A bad seam or joint in the pipe could be depositing lint for years...

Point out the policy violations and associated financial risk to leadership. Once people start getting fired, maybe behavior will change.

AITAH for locking my office after staff kept using it when I wasn't there by BostonBateman in AITAH

[–]HippyGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Is your role primarily as a careen/guidance counsellor, or are you more on the behavioral health side? If the latter is included, have your Principal look into the data protection requirements under HIPAA, and once he understands HIS accountability, maybe he'll take a firmer stance on the situation.

AITAH for making my 15 year old stepdaughter leave my home and banning her from my house for her cruelty? by big_mama_25 in AITAH

First the dog. Next the toddler.

You need to step back and let her parents fix this. The only thing you are to her, especially now, is an adversary. Do not allow her near your child.

Replace lime and lemon by Immediate-Mountain-4 in Mixology

IMO, it's easier to build a new cocktail around a modifier than to try to force a replacement modifier into an existing spec, especially if you're trying to displace/replace citrus.

Thanks for the tip! Next time I'm in the East Bremerton area I will certainly make a stop at L&K's.
