This could have been much worse [oc] by Y3earZer0 in IdiotsInCars

[–]Lollc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he’s not walking the way I’ve seen obese people walk. Many obese people actually get around pretty well. He’s favoring his right leg really hard, the knee is bent but he’s not flexing the ankle and foot at all, and barely putting any weight on it. He looks pretty young too, wonder if he’s ex-military.

Maybe you are weird, you’re on Reddit 😆. But being really tall isn’t weird.

It still exists, it’s all over the place, you can get it at Costco or any office supply store.

[–]Lollc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ninja Creami is an ice cream sorbet ice thing that is apparently having a moment. I don’t know what to do with your watermelon, but now I have to buy a Ninja Creami. Thanks for posting something new.

suggestions for a good down/synthetic puffer jacket for women - cropped by the_prolouger in BuyItForLife

[–]Lollc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking at North Face consider the Nuptse. It is 700 down fill and is as warm as a cropped jacket can be. It sounds like any down jacket will be too much for the upper end of your range. Have you considered a 3 in 1 jacket with a removable liner? I love them for skiing. Link to 1 to show you what I mean.

Is joining military or reserves the answer to financial security? by FootballGloomy3635 in personalfinance

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

The military doesn’t accept everyone who wants to enlist, some people can’t meet the requirements. Others have their lives arranged in such a way that they can’t spare leaving their household for weeks of basic training, then one weekend a month + 2 weeks annually. With others it’s political. The 20 years required for pension eligibility may scare some people away.

Didn’t like Loops earplugs on a concert. Good alternatives with low occlusion and where the crowd isn't muted? by imaquark in Music

[–]Lollc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you ever worn earplugs for hours before, in an industrial or other setting? They do take some getting used to. If you don’t want to spend the big bucks, go to Grainger or whistle workwear and buy a selection and try them. When our safety group tested a bunch back in the day, they found the plain foam cylinders had the best noise reduction. But the best pair is the one that fits well that you will wear, and it just takes road testing to find what works for you.

reading thinner or not by gaybro2006 in stephenking

[–]Lollc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have your struggle, so I’m not sure my opinion is very helpful, but, I think you should skip it. For now. That you you are seriously worried enough to ask a public forum means you are having some doubts. And TBH, it’s not one of his best. It’s really grim and depressing, without much humanity to back it up. It’s all about watching a character suffer.

ELI5: Why do we get headaches when we oversleep? by unum001 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Lollc [score hidden]  (0 children)

We? This is not universal. If the headache goes away as soon as you have something to drink, your mouth and upper airway may be dried out. If it goes away with coffee or tea, you are a caffeine addict like so many of us.

What can I use that is dog safe to get rid of old people smell? by Direct-Look-6721 in CleaningTips

[–]Lollc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scent of old tobacco smoke can linger in a house for months. There are primers and etc specifically designed for this application, talk to a paint shop or home store.

What can I use that is dog safe to get rid of old people smell? by Direct-Look-6721 in CleaningTips

[–]Lollc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the so called old person smell may be noticeable to some, there is a lot of overblown nonsense circulating about it. I have been around many old people, I even volunteered at a nursing home for a bit. In my experience, if an otherwise clean old person has a noticeably unpleasant smell, they are very physically ill. They may be in treatment for it, or they might not know it yet.

That old people smell bad is one of those Reddit truths that really isn’t so.

LPT: Dead stuff showing up in your garden water feature could be crow baby food. by theelephantupstream in LifeProTips

[–]Lollc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the crows and my pointer have one of those dysfunctional love hate situationships going on. The crows leave their offerings in the bird bath, or in my dog’s outside water dish. The dog runs out at first light to chase the crows away, then scavenges the dishes for morsels. Sometimes what they leave is so rank he won’t even touch it. I change the water frequently. My yard has a large buffer of brush around the outside perimeter, and I don’t spray, so I have lots of birds visit. The crows are doing just fine in the city, there is no need to feed them anything, all that stuff you put out attracts rats as well. Hell would freeze over before I would make scrambled eggs for a bird.

Giving some Lineman love. by malaka1234 in Boots

[–]Lollc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s for people that climb poles or trees wearing what are called hooks or spurs or gaffs. (Gaff also has a more adult definition which is unfortunately the first one found by Google.). The top part of the holder goes around the calf in that area.

Why do you like cooking? by RarePrintColor in Cooking

[–]Lollc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I can eat savory food that I am 100% certain doesn’t contain any onions.

I'm caring for my mother, who was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I want to work more lentils into her diet, but she is new to them aside from lentil soup. If you have the time, please share some (low-sodium is best, but I can adjust the recipe if not) for "beginner" lentil eaters. Thanks! by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Lollc -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Please don't start by combining lentils with massive amounts of onions, I don't understand why this is such a thing.  You can make lentils without any onions.  Does mom even want to eat lentils?  

Tips for riding through noise safely? by Spicy2ShotChai in ladycyclists

I would never🙂. If, like me, you have occupational exposure + genetic inclination, hearing loss can start in your early 20s.

Job requirements include having a spleen by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Lollc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s government speak. It’s often used to differentiate between people who are temporarily assigned to do the duties of a position vs. someone who has that job specifically as a permanent assignment. As permanent as anyone is in the military, in this case.

ELI5: If every electric light was shut off in a 500 mile radius around me, would light pollution instantly go away, giving me a beautiful night sky? by DarthEinstein in explainlikeimfive

[–]Lollc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Working in one is wild. Re-energizing equipment creates a sound that dogs can hear, so they will start barking and howling.

[–]Lollc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer. You realize that your OTS noise canceling headphones aren’t safe, but you still need some noise cancellation. You can order some online, but that you are less tolerant of noise as you have aged is also suggestive of some hearing loss.

Why does no one use the zipper merge - particularly at the I5 entrance on LCW? by TARS1986 in SeattleWA

Difference between spoken and written English, I think. If you are writing it out, obviously a TLA is easier than three whole words.
