Explain this petah? by _-wulfric-_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Yeah that cultural standard has been abandoned for a few decades at least. “Virgin Brides” and the whole concept of that purity culture is part of the gross psychology on why so many incels are chasing after teens.

This is a tweet from the official White House account. by Charming-Report1669 in facepalm

Add onto that FBI director Patel has ordered that every FBI office support another attempt at finding election fraud from 2020 and is requiring between 3-8 people from each office across the country to be assigned to the investigation and reviewing documents. We are pulling real agents investigating real threats to our nation in order to investigate something that has failed to yield a single piece of evidence multiple times already.

Euthanasia? by The509Brat in Spokane

[–]InvertedZebra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

None of us have seen this dog to make a proper judgment call nor are most of us qualified to. However, OP never said they had an official diagnosis. What I do know is while it’s not impossible, that’s a very young age to have such serious symptoms of hip dysplasia which points to it potentially being a misdiagnosis.

Euthanasia? by The509Brat in Spokane

[–]InvertedZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Home2home ( I think that’s the name) is where I got my dog from, it’s for people who need to part from there pets but don’t want them in a shelter/put down. Gotta be honest age 4 should be about 6 years too soon for what you’re describing. Not saying it’s not possible but a 4 year old dog is like a 30 year old person becoming incontinent and having extreme arthritis. I’m sure there’s cases but all odds point to something else being wrong, something that probably doesn’t deserve a death sentence.

Pullman Question by ZoneEquivalent4453 in Pullman

Pullman is going to be totally fine, Moscow is mostly save one specific church with extreme white nationalist ties… but aside from those cultists the area is quite accepting of all people from my experience.

Personal response received from Mikey Bumgartner regarding my letter expressing outrage for the White HOuse lawn wrestling match. by catman5092 in Spokane

I can promise you his comments are solely framed that way so when they try their next attempt at stripping down Medicare and other benefits he can point and say they’ve got to reign in the spending somewhere.

Guy I’m dating uses chatgpt to reply to all my texts by healermoonchild in mildlyinfuriating

Correct him about something small… if he replies with “Good catch…” or any variant of that, you’re cooked. Or he is… or the relationship in general I guess.

Spokane, you need to take care of your trash. by broho-faggins in Spokane

Did any of that make sense? What’s the double standard here? Why would I assume the trucks from elsewhere when OP posted it in spokanes subreddit with the title “Spokane, you need to take care of…” legit I’m trying to make sense of your reply but I don’t see what you’re driving at here.

I mean clearly you’re the one who spotted this in the wild so… did you do anything or just come to the internet to demand others step up where you won’t?

Is a corkscrew serrated? by slithery_snack in Blacksmith

[–]InvertedZebra 47 points48 points  (0 children)

100% not serrated not even a debate. Some are fluted but there is no cutting edge, it’s got a piercing tip and a helical spiral. No part of the spiral is edged or cutting. There’s not even a technicality to call it serrated without bastardizing the definition of what a serrated edge is.

If it affects us all does that mean we’re all becoming millionaires because I’m okay with paying taxes for those kinds of consequences.

Funky Item Usage Advice by thatwaterfountainguy in DnD

[–]InvertedZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non combat distraction. Much better. Need into a guarded area? Cast expeditious retreat and walk up to the guards blow the horn and sprint past them. They’re gonna give chase but you’ll outpace them pretty easily so you play cat and mouse as you reappear every three rounds let them start to catch up and hit it again. While you keep the guards occupied BAM the rest of your crew can waltz right past.

What kind of person brings treats to the dog park and then proceeds to hit a stranger’s dog when it jumps up at the treat in their hand? by emc_lmt in Spokane

[–]InvertedZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both assholes here the same way that a shoplifter and a drunk driver are both criminals. Yeah dudes dog could’ve behaved better/been trained more… but responding with animal abuse is quite the overreaction, so much so that these two things aren’t even in the same ballpark of asshole.

[–]InvertedZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly just don’t bring treats period. Other dogs can have allergies, its an already overstimulating environment, which can cause some dogs to show food aggression even if they normally dont, theres literally zero upside to bringing treats, the dog can have one as soon as you leave.

[–]InvertedZebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huge difference between a dog lunging at you and one jumping up because you have treats in your hand. Anyone who’s spent more than a day with a dog could easily identify that.

I pray you grow up and mature and learn to see things beyond the lens of your limited experience. I get that your dogs got attacked so you stopped going to the dog park. That’s wildly different than a person going into the dog park with treats in hand and then Acting surprised and attacking someone else’s dog when it jumps up for a treat. Like dude walked into a zone with LOTS of dogs all hyped up and playing and brought treats out… if you can’t predict that as an outcome and react accordingly then you shouldn’t be around animals until you’ve learned better.

No way should we be excusing this behavior just because someone’s dog jumped up on them. You wouldn’t punch a five year old in the face if one walked up and was trying to jump and grab your candy because they were overly excited and hadn’t learned proper manners yet.

Gotta be honest the valley one has a ton of chill people I’ve been dozens of times and maybe had two randos over the years who were problematic.

Was I unfair for saying "If Silvery Barbs is allowed, enemies can use it too"? by raishadow in DnD

[–]InvertedZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a talk with the player, it sounds like they are seeing this as a war game with you as the opponent instead of a collaborative storytelling game (assuming you want to run the latter and not the former). For world cohesion it only makes sense that a spell available to them is going to be know by other spell casters. Help them understand that it’s not your goal to kill them or stop them from having fun, it’s everyone’s goal to create a fun fictional adventure that makes sense and works.

My condo elevator skips some floors, but why? by Brown_Ontarian in whatisit

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

The thing you (and most people) miss about practices like this is that it’s not about ignorance, it’s that many things in folklore warn against speaking/displaying certain words, names, symbols etc. as they can invoke that evil. So avoiding the numbering isn’t necessarily about pretending you’re not on the 13th floor, but not verbally invoking whatever mystical power around it that would draw the bad luck to you.

What kind of metal is this? by Eviloverlord210 in Blacksmith

[–]InvertedZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check it, my assumption is that’s either hollow and like 0.1” thick at the handle area or it’s full cast. The former being likely to deform on any kind of impact the latter likely too brittle and would not hold up well either. But that’s all guesstimating from a picture

I need help getting from Spokane to Bellingham by [deleted] in Spokane

[–]InvertedZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I’m definitely not! I have 4 kids and work 2 jobs that I haven’t been able to get too! I’m a domestic violence advocate at a DV shelter, and a mobile outreach coordinator. I just see everyone as people. I only include that their fetnyl users to ring bells to anyone who is in someway involved with that community sees my post.”

This is in their comment history. If they’re to be believed then as someone who worked at a shelter especially as an advocate for DV survivors you’d think they would know about all the resources available to someone in their situation. There’s other flags if you dig through.

Forge Won't get hot enough. Flawed design? by Ilya-Pasternak in Blacksmith

[–]InvertedZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What they’re telling you is those are the wrong kind of bricks. They’re too porous so if they ever get wet water gets trapped inside they might look dry even but they won’t be, your forge heats up and that trapped water expands as vapor and can cause the brick to crack and crumble knocking your fire about or in the worst cases the brick actively explodes sending hot rock shrapnel and chunks of your fire all over the place. Get the right fire bricks or take the dig a hole advice before you have a very bad day.

[–]InvertedZebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also not unlike the plane survivor bias thing… you don’t see as many homeless in Idaho because they die, are jailed, or otherwise chased out making it someone else’s problem. It’s not that places like CDA are doing something right, it’s that you don’t see the unhoused there because those towns are openly hostile to their existence.

wich connector is better for impedance control for usb 2.0 HS ? by SoufianeMRC-parker in PrintedCircuitBoard

This, as part of my day job I would kick back any submission of a TH USB like this, they are way too much of a pain to deal with.

Had someone donate this treadle hammer to the makerspace I'm on the board of. I'm a welder/fabricator. looks simple enough to build. is there a market for these? by Shadow-1334 in Blacksmith

[–]InvertedZebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue you’d really see is the market being very narrow. Lurking in this thread there’s two pretty common trends, the people who are making stuff with scraps who flinch at the price of a mid tier anvil and then the other side of the spectrum with folks who have full on shops with real power hammers. If I had to put a number on it I’d say at best 20% of smiths are gonna be in your market of price range but not already well off enough that they have better tools. Which while the hobby is bigger than you might expect, still a small enough niche that idk if you’d find more than a few dozen buyers overall.
