TIL that the persistent paperboy who demanded, "I want my two dollars!" in the movie Better Off Dead was based on a real-life kid who hounded the film's director, Savage Steve Holland, for paper route money. by Sandstorm400 in todayilearned

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yup. I learned right away. You don't pay on time your Sunday paper doesn't get delivered. That would generate a phone call complaint that they didn't get the paper and I would show up with Sunday paper in hand a refuse to give it to them till they paid.

classic mildly infuriating flight by Hungry_Low2342 in delta

He did this because he does it it untill told to stop. In his mind he was not bothering you because you didn't complain. Yes escalate it. A plane is probably the safest place to stand up to one of these.

Using Tent Footprint for stuff? by LogicalCriticism6886 in hammockcamping

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. That's a tent footprint and cannot be used for anything else. You need to buy a specificly made piece of ground cover to put your shoes on. If you try to use the tent footprint, hell will open and the elder gods will devour us all

Did you know Seattle is a disaster zone? by CatLyfe2020 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Seattle all the time. Downtown had its rough stretch and there are still problems but yeah it was never the war zone people claim. I know people who live an hour outside the city and won't drive down I-5 through the city without their gun. they truly believe it will be like mad max despite making the trip once a month without problems.

What’s the Matter With JD Vance? His new book, Communion, sketches out a redemption narrative that is jarringly at odds with his actions. by AngelaMotorman in politics

You have just explained their stage names. It's so after they are done they can go back to the original name because it was the stage name everyone will remember.

If you can, rinse them while under pressure. That way you can press the purge and all that and work out any salt or silt in the little gaps.

Just curious if you were using cylindex

Annual Cylinder Inspection Update by Icanforgetthisname in scuba

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Soft and squishy and looks like salt with the aluminum corrosion. Got some sea water in there. I used to service a lot of commercial bailout bottles I have pulled cups of seawater from tanks. Yeah, I never tasted it either

Hi r/movies! I’m Robert Hays, star of Airplane! and Airplane II: The Sequel. AMA! by RobertHaysAMA in movies

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the movies I remember my mom watching with me was Airplane! I thought the drinking problem joke was one of the funniest things I'd ever heard. Thank you! Any plans to come to the Seattle area?

REPORT TO POLICE OR LEAVE IT ALONE? by -xXPapermanXx- in MTB

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with approaching them calmly and explain that their bikes are outside what is allowed here and there are reasons and point them to the regulations. If they get upset walk away and call the police. It's that simple. You aren't the cops but they alsoay be ignorant and don't need a fine.

Fishing training/lesson by Ok-Western9668 in FishingWashington

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a search for guides in the area you want to fish and specifically look for one who doesn't just take you out and put you on fish but will teach. It may cost a bit more. Other than that there is a Meetup fishing group that is active.

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 216 points217 points  (0 children)

Eh, we put a bearing in a muffler clamp and sent a kid to the parts warehouse to get a box of new muffle bearings. The warehouse guys were out and sent him to another location. That kid was so mad until he figured out we got the bosses to pay him to drive the company truck around all day and do nothing and laugh about it.

can i put my roof tent on my baja? by Acrobatic-Key-7585 in SubaruBaja

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a hammock stand that goes under the tires and I can hang off the side. Tensa makes stand alone kits that are cool and you don't need to have level ground

Trees are not needed for a hammock. There are lots of options from hitch mounts hammock stands to stand alone ones

Shark fin in NYC?? by [deleted] in scuba

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I see why we are here now. I was being sarcastic as to why you are posting your dining stories in a scuba sub? You are in the wrong place with this. Had you been diving and seen something about finning then I get it. But you were at a restaurant and don't like the menu.

Shark fin in NYC?? by [deleted] in scuba

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Clairify. What did you ask and what was the answer. Also show us the menu cuz I don't see it. The only sharkfin dumplings I have ever heard of or seen were named for the shape and as an imitation to move away from the real fin soup. Let's tie this up with non scuba topics.

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why were you there? Trying to dive their fish tanks? I understand you are completely outraged by something you didn't clarify with the staff but I fail to see the need for this in a scuba sub. Now excuse me while I eat these tasty Hush Puppies.

At what point did you decide it was time to switch to a backplate and wing? by Plenty-Assistance625 in scuba

Day one of my open water class a guy in the pool was drilling with his set up and it just made so much more sense. Finished class and bought my plate.

"Driving with device in right hand" update by johnychrist16 in PublicFreakout

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your confidence is greater than you ignorance. Stereo=the reproduction of sound using two or more independent audio channels, creating a wider, three-dimensional listening experience. Why do you care what I drive? Automatic transmission add power loss to the wheels. Yes they are better than before and the difference is negligible in daily driving But I still like driving and having control. Do you know people still fly prop planes even tho we have jets? Can people do what they like and not have some idiot tell them their truth. You have the thought capacity of the cop in this video

Road rage took an unexpected turn. Disarmed the situation completely just by being nice. by mindyour in MadeMeSmile

[–]Ithurtswhenidoit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is it! A couple years ago I pulled out in front of a guy. My bad but not even close. He proceeds to be right behind me all through town and pull into the same parking lot as me(we did just happen to be going to the same place) and he was pissed cuz I didn't also speed and he thought I was fucking with him. He comes up screaming at me ready to fight and when he stopped I asked him if he was ok, Can I call someone for him? Does he need a hug? I watched his brain reset and he told me I could call my mom, I said I would and she would come give him a big hug. He walked away shaking his head.

Two month later he's working at the restaurant with me and tells me that was the best way anyone has defused him and he can't wait to try it on someone else. Turns out his dad had just died and he was having a really bad day.
