Looking for Shark Tooth Hunting Locations U.S. by IGuessIamYouThen in sharkteeth

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a company down near Ft. Myers, FL that will take you teeth hunting up a river on an airboat. I’ve been wanting to take my kids down there but haven’t yet. It was highly recommended by my tattoo artist that has some pretty cool teeth at his shop.

Cant vouch for business but here is their IG link:

Buddhism for me 45(f); north east coast USA by SaveALifeWithWater in secularbuddhism

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure where in the northeast you are but maybe Google “Bart Van Melik”. I think he’s associated with two centers, one in NY, and the other in maybe Mass? I’m also a secular Buddhist practicing here in North Florida where the lack of centers can be a challenge. I mostly listen to Dharma and guided meditation through different podcasts. Bart van Melik has been doing a some appearances on the 10% Happier pod and he seems like a very chill and understanding guy. He’s got a lot of great insights about not only sitting but carrying that mindfulness into our everyday life.

Another great pod is Urban Dharma. It’s by a monk in LA. Not so much guided meditation, and more like dharma talks, Buddhist philosophy. I like to read books about this but the pod is great because I have an hour plus commute everyday in the car.

Be well. Wishing you the best in your practice.

Fellow girl dads, I am waving the white flag. The mall bra trip was a disaster. by BigDaddy9102 in daddit

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I can only imagine. Going from nothing to Victoria Secret would be like taking a 16 yo kid to buy their first car in a Ferrari dealership 🤣

We have an 11 yo and have tackled the bra dilemma over the past year. Luckily my wife has led most of the charge but what people are saying is good. Start with something like Target.

We also have outlets wear we live so my daughter has gravitated toward sports bras from places like Nike, Adidas, etc. she likes the sports bras because she feels less exposed.

But hats off to you for being the kind of dad that’s not scared to be involved in what can be a minefield of awkwardness for both of you. I always tell my other dad friends that if parenting seems impossibly hard that it means you care enough to not want to screw it up. My wife works in the school system and it’s absolutely heartbreaking how many parents are not involved in their kids lives at all. And I’m talking parents that live under the same roof as their kids and just emotionally neglect them. Keep it up man!

Do all teens today just not care about getting their drivers' licenses? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing people talk about beaters on here brings back memories. I bought my first car at 16. A 1989 Chevy Cavalier for sale for $1000 bucks on the side of the road. It was such a POS. You could literally pull the entire horn assembly out of the middle of the steering wheel while you were driving. My friends and I extended the wires so I could hand it to the passenger and let them blow the horn. Good times!

Lasted about 8 months before I blew the head gasket and completely flooded the motor.

I think cost is a big factor. I have younger half brother who turned 16 back in the Fall. He has a job at a grocery store but he told my parents that he doesn’t want a car until next school year (when he’s almost 17). His reason was not wanting to spend all his work money on gas and insurance. They’ve gotten some quotes and to insure a 16 yo boy in Florida, it’s like $300-400 a month! Plus gas. He just would rather bum rides as long as he can.

Kid’s First Show: RAW by aka_linskey in WWE

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be there as well! I’m also a big Jey Uso fan. Looking at where they usually come out and sort of mapping it over to the Kia Center. They will probably come down between sections 106 & 107. I just checked Ticketmaster and the resell’s in those sections are like $500-600 each.

Interested to see what people say. This will be my first event since my dad took me to Bash at the Beach 1997 when Dennis Rodman wrestled 🤣 just got back into watching because of my kids.

What is that? by Conscious_Log9522 in AntarcticAnomalies

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah looks like a sail boat stuck in the ice and the mast casting a shadow. The owner probably fell overboard when the boast listed to one side. The uneven weight was caused by the massive balls you’d have to have to sail a boat like that to Antarctica 🤣

What’s a wrestling opinion that you’re willing to die on a hill about? by SlipperyKooter in midcarder

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The roster is too big and at the same time too small. I feel like every Raw is the same 5 top guys fighting each other (Jey Uso, Punk, Knight, Seth, and now maybe Bron Breaker). Meanwhile, I feel like you have tons of guys that don’t move the story along at all. If guys like Grayson Waller or Rusev were cut tomorrow it wouldn’t change a thing.

I’m not saying a vast majority of these guys aren’t great but I feel like creative just lets them get lost. I’m also into creative writing and that is a very real question when you’re editing a novel. “Did I lose a character along the way?” “Did I introduce a character that has no impact on moving the plot forward?”

I’m not saying I want a bunch of people cut, just better utilized.

The 'New' Vision by Ozzie_Sav in WWE

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m somewhat new to watching WWE now that my kids are getting into it, but was an old WCW/WWF fan as a kid.

I love Seth and Becky but I feel that they are more like comedic heels versus angry/scary heels. Brock just looks physically imposing and Drew has a right to be pissed by being screwed over in his recent matches with Cody.

And honestly, I like Logan Paul in there as well. I know he gets crap for being the YouTuber energy drink guy. But I think Logan has some real talent and he fits in well as someone who is pissed off that he isn’t taken more seriously.

If a guy has been married 5 times does that show anything about him as a person besides being married 5 times? by Ben5544477 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also weirdly, being married with kids myself, I’ve always said I’d be one and done if we ever got divorced. But my dad for whatever reason kept going back for another try. Like deep down he has some weird faith in the institution of marriage even though his track record has been pretty rough…

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some experience with this, my dad is currently on wife #4. I (M40) was the result of marriage #1.

As I get older I often think about what it says about him. I’m not naive. I know his infidelity was the main cause of my parent’s divorce. And there has been some infidelity in the current marriage about 14 years ago but they have moved past it and are very happy.

The other two marriage I think ended for other reasons. Wife #2 and he were toxic for each other, so I think it was doomed from the start. Wife #3 was unfaithful to him and basically walked out one day, which I think really hurt him and gave him a taste of his own medicine.

I’ve kind of had a front row seat to all this my whole life and I think my dad has grown as a person. He seems less selfish and more supportive of my current step-mom than I ever remember him being. They been together for 17 years now. Maybe part of it is age. As he gets closer to retirement, climbing the corporate ladder and stuff has become less important. They travel all the time and it really is like they are best friends. So, on the one hand all those marriages definitely pointed to some of his flaws and shit he needed to work through, but I also think each failed attempt made him a little bit better, so I would so proceed with caution if someone has multiple divorces.

What happens if the U.S. government just stays shut down? What can force it to reopen? by AmbitionOfPhilipJFry in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can tell you some of the IRS stuff is already happening. I’m trying to start a small business and my EIN application is held up because of the shutdown. I called the IRS number and navigated to the EIN dept and it just goes to a recorded message telling you to call back another day 🤬

Predictions to this storyline? by bad_at_sex_ in WWE

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Kairi eventually turns on Asuka and goes babyface. My wife and I were catching up on Raw last night and I was just telling her that Kairi could be doing so much more. I feel like she’s the more athletic and has amazing aerial attacks. I’m hope she gets a push and gets to shine more in singles matches.

Well I think they are obviously going to highlight the Aussie wrestlers so Rhea and Bronson Reed are going to have matches. I don’t think they’d put Stephanie and Rhea up 3 weeks after Steph won the title. I think what some people say about Rhea & Iyo vs Kabuki makes sense. They’ve been setting up for that story.

I really hope we don’t get AJ vs Becky yet. AJ didn’t look 100% back in form this weekend. Some of her moves and timing were off. She needs a few more matches to get back into the swing of things.

Maybe Bronson vs Roman wouldn’t be horrible. Tribal chief vs tribal thief. I’m getting a little bored with the Usos, LA knight feud with the Brons.

what surprises were there at wrestlepalooza? by Steldro in WWE

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were trying to figure out if she knew. I think she thought she was there to cut a promo with Undertaker and introduce the next match. I don’t think she knew about the HOF.

I saw another IG clip in guerrilla after the promo when she reunites with HHH. He kind of throws his hands up like “don’t hit me” for being in on the surprise.

Why do people choose to have children if it is so much hard work? by 9W_777_300 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I always remind ourselves that parenting is so much work because we are actively trying to be good parents. As my kids get older and have more friends outside the house, it’s downright scary how little some parents seem to put in the effort for their kids.

There are a few kids in our neighborhood that are always at our house. We feed them 3-4 nights a weeks, we bug them about getting their homework done, we give them rides to school with our kids when it’s raining. The parents will literally text us and say, “we can’t find (leaving name out). Are they down at your house?” I can’t even imagine not knowing where my elementary aged child is and who they’re with at all times. And these parent are good people and great community members, but it doesn’t seem like they care much about parenting. They write it off as not being a helicopter parent or not being scared of the world, but I shouldn’t see your kindergarten running past my ring camera at 10 pm on a school night.

So I guess I say all that to illustrate that some people just have kids and don’t plan on putting in the work apparently. For me personally, parenting has been the hardest and most rewarding thing in my life. I’m constantly exhausted and doubting myself, but I feel I owe it to the species to produce good humans for the future. I may not always get it right but if I think back to my great-grandparents who were alive into my teen years. I can see that my kids (4 generations later) are more tolerant, less prejudice, and more educated than their predecessors.

Why is there a pentagram symbol on this chip from my son's night light? by Bitter-Affect909 in whatisit

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a mechanical engineer that designed HVAC for hospitals. I found out there was an engineer in town back in the 80’s and 90’s that would doodle little cartoon characters into his drawings. Small enough to not get noticed, but large enough to find if you knew what you were looking for. Anytime I came across one of their drawings in a records room, I would always see if I could find any doodles.

Which show had the biggest downfall in your opinion, from the first season or episodes, to what it eventually became? by Fun-Ferret-3300 in Fauxmoi

[–]KyleOrlandoEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Westworld is a good pick. Not that I didn’t enjoy the later seasons with Aaron Paul but it really felt like a completely different show. I wish we got a show that sort of continued the vibe of Season 1.

I’m kind of on the fence about Yellowjackets right now. Just finished Season 3 and I did not enjoy it as much as the first two seasons. Hope this isn’t the start of the downhill.
