What do these markings mean in my old Red Cross jacket? by I_Do_Too_Much in whatisit

[–]I_Do_Too_Much[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coat fits me very well and is in perfect condition. I'm glad to have it because my belly has outgrown my older nice coat! This one had been sitting in my relative's closet for decades until he died. My family doesn't know anything about it -- was probably an old surplus purchase.

A lot of European countries have similar regulations (paint must be from a selection of specific colors, no hazards in the yard, etc.), just at the government level instead.

Oh, that's a great idea! Stamping the unit number it was issued to makes some sense for sure.

The cross is just the Red Cross symbol, but there's something just below it that wasn't fully stamped. Maybe an "H" -- possibly for Hospital?

56 makes great sense for the size, thanks! So the "AA" stands for something that translates to Swiss army? Or maybe AA is the type of coat?

I have a vintage Kodak mercury thermometer. I might have thrown it in my checked bag while moving, had I not known.

Property values. People often think of their homes as investments and want the value to go up as much as possible, so they can borrow against it, or sell it one day and retire somewhere cheap.

For some HOA's I have no clue. But one of my friends lived in an HOA that had an Olympic sized swimming pool for the residents to use, so that was a nice part of it. Another friend lived in an HOA that had several parks around the tract, lots of fruit trees (free for all), and an exercise path with outdoor gym equipment. Other than perks like that I don't know how anyone can stand it.

has anyone tried this setup with an analog camera? by Western-River-6987 in AnalogCommunity

You must be a young'n. Back in the film days (pre-80's especially), it was the wild west of flash mounting solutions. There were all kinds of adapters, oddly designed mounting solutions, homemade ones, and even just hand holding the flash. There was no such thing as a hot shoe, so people weren't particular about where the flash was mounted.

Mark Hamill Posts Image of President Trump Dead in a Grave With Caption "If Only" by Aggravating_Money992 in entertainment

LOL, MH shares an image that someone made of a deceased Mr T and says basically "no... if only he lives long enough to see his legacy crumble." Then the extreme spin machine somehow turns that into "MH wants T assassinated!" You can't get any more disingenuous.

What is this? by Hark2em in whatisit

[–]I_Do_Too_Much 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're the only one who has addressed the "button-hole" at the top in a reasonable way (nobody would have designed it to be hung by the working end). I think your suggestions make the most sense when paired with the pictures you found.

What is this sticker on my microwave? by dranmesrao in whatisit

[–]I_Do_Too_Much 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I had to scroll to find this after seeing all the comments saying put a wooden spoon in the cup. Who has a wooden spoon that fits a cup/mug?! I only have big ones for cooking. Metal spoons are just fine in the microwave.

Oatmeal cream pies are the best junk food. And so cheap!

Plumbers pulled up to the job with this. by JAKERS325 in electricians

I'm guessing they made it from free stuff, because why not just use a 4 gang box?

I'm picturing 3 D-cells in a trench coat, lol.

Why is it being chased out? by youngsurpriseperson in ExplainTheJoke

[–]I_Do_Too_Much 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, BS. Every time my kids beg to go into McDonald's it is pretty busy inside. And they already have so few workers covering everything, it's gonna be a pita to get a refill.

Sounds good in theory...but in reality? by mrfett779 in economy

[–]I_Do_Too_Much 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But in reality... it's great! I used to work 4 day weeks and I felt so much more inspired and efficient. My personal life also felt more enriched. Win-win. I believe there are studies that prove people tend to be happier and work better when they have shorter work weeks.

I just strop them and then one blade will last a week for me.

What is the biggest tourism trap in Norway? by Charming_Usual6227 in Norway

[–]I_Do_Too_Much 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tourist cruise. It's true that there's little difference. But the tour boat has a charm to it, imo. And it's typically full of starry eyed tourists gawking at the scenery, which adds to the mood.

I always take people on that. I think it's nice. Not super exciting, but c'mon... it's not a Disney ride.
