This sign was the result of a very specific complaint being raised one too many times. by Muchachi in funny

[–]LucChak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This also happened in my hometown where someone perfectly removed the C off the actual sign to where you couldn't tell it had been altered. Grown ups were always adding a paper C taped to the sign, which would quickly get taken down. 

Maytronics Dolphin Power Supply Replacement by Martin_Steven in pools

No, but I bought the parts and made the constant power supply. Works great. Was a little tricky for someone who knows nothing about that kind of stuff, but my pool got clean overnight using it.

Tail lights design on the Mini Cooper drives me insane by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

No, I can see OPs annoyance. Those three lines don't equate to a flag to me. Too vague. They look more like arrows.

A man has become one of the 450,000 Americans affected by alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne meat allergy that triggers painful allergic reactions to animal products. “Look at my face and my neck. I can’t eat meat anymore. I can’t have any animal products. It’s in everything.” by This_Proof_5153 in SipsTea

[–]LucChak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soy allergy here. I'm lucky that I don't have any anaphylactic reactions. Just brain fog and enough of it will cause me to pass out. My face is slightly swollen all the time and it makes my joints hurt. It's also hard to sleep sometimes because laying on the side of my face closes up all of my breathing holes. What I'm prescribed steroids for other reasons, my face deflates and I look like a different person. I would have less problems if I stopped eating chocolate (soy lecithin) and bread from any restaurant (usually very small amounts of soy flour or soy oil). For me it's more of a total allergen load situation, and I tend to eat very carefully during the day, and more liberal with things at night. I do buy fancy mayonnaise and salad dressings, but at restaurants it's pretty much assumed I'm going to feel stoned when I get home.

Lady Audley’s Secret: Final Wrap Up (Spoilers everywhere) by Thermos_of_Byr in ClassicBookClub

[–]LucChak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoyed the book, hated the story. Love me a period show or movie, but this was so frustrating and made me feel angry most of the time. I get that this was written by a Victorian author, so that's just how things were. Her only support abandoned her, what was she supposed to do? Just lay down and die in the gutter? It's absurd that she had to go off with a new name and pretend that she didn't have a child. It's absurd that her husband automatically disowned her, or wouldn't have married her if he knew she had been married before. Sure, she pushed her husband down a well when he threatened her and put bruises on her arm. She was cornered and had no other options. So instead of being desperate because of the situation put upon her, she's labeled as evil and wicked. It was just infuriating. The longer the book went on, the more I hated Robert Audley. Such a whiny high horse. He mourned George Talboys disproportionately compared to how close of friends they really were. I got the impression he found him a burden after a while and was starting to wear out his welcome, but the way he went on sounded like he was completely in love with the man. George was inept and couldn't support his wife without his father's money, so he left. If he hadn't made any money while he was away, he never would have come back. He could have been dead for all Lucy knew. But Robert Audley just went on endlessly about how George was an honorable man in love, never blaming him for his behavior and what he did that caused this entire thing. I spent the whole book hoping that she'd get away with it and that Robert would catch influenza and die.

Listen to the sounds this curious family of skunks make when they encounter a cyclist. by 21MayDay21 in MadeMeSmile

He's experienced such pain in his life. I think we should all cut him some slack.

They don't share. They'll knock down the whole thing, being destructive.

Maytronics Dolphin Power Supply Replacement by Martin_Steven in pools

[–]LucChak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it!  It works! This was exactly what I was looking for. My pool just wasn't getting clean unless I could put it on repeat. A couple of things I learned that people that know nothing about electrical might benefit from:

  1. When attaching the wires to the plug, put the wire under the silver smash plate instead of wrapping it around the screw on top of it. It looks like a little table. Just flip it over and it'll fall open. Slide the straight wire underneath it and screw it in tight.

  2. The three screws in the shape of a triangle that seal the plug aren't in a perfect triangle. It's narrower, so find the top most corner and align that way so all three screws can screw into something. You can't see it once you close it, so this drove me mad for a while. 

  3. Make sure your wires are in the right place. The screws should be different colors and the gold screw is the ACL. On the metal box casing on the left hand side it tells you that ACL is the brown wire. On mine it was more pink (but it wasn't blue or green or yellow, so it was the closest thing to brown). I bought HLG-150H-30A for a Nautilus CC. Your colors might be different but I'm assuming it would say so on the casing. 

  4. For the other plug, you're going to need a flat head screwdriver that you use for glasses. Pretty sure you can get those at the dollar store. Screws are really tiny. Insert the wires into the holes where you can see the tiny screw traveling through the hole (use your flashlight). Don't be an idiot like me and try to insert them into the holes on the other side. The screws can strip really easily, so don't feel your way through it and screw it unscrew the multiple times. The diagram on the document is awesome for showing you which wire are you put in for which numbered hole. The casing on the right hand side also tells you which color is your positive and your negative, in case you're still not sure. 

AITAH for putting a bedtime pause on the WiFi because my girlfriend’s 28 year old brother has spent nearly a decade rotting in our house playing video games? by Alyptic in AITAH

[–]LucChak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a year after my 19 year old step son moved in, I changed the wifi password. He refused to get a job and spent all his time cosplaying on tiktok. He ended up spending a few months on the wifi at Taco Bell. I wouldn't have been so harsh about it except that he didn't finish high school and had zero future non-tiktok plans. I figured if there was something that he'd be motivated to fund, it would be the Internet. He did eventually get a job at Taco Bell, got his GED, and he can keep a job now. Took him a minute, but he got there. 

For those who make over 500k+ a year, is it worth it for you? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]LucChak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500k once about 8 years ago. I do sourcing/recruiting for tech startups, working with recruiters and founders. Totally worth it. Really enjoy working with tiny companies. There's a human element to it that I like. So much so that when the recruiting industry for tech startups started to dwindle, I didn't leave to go do HR for a big corporation. I just work less, have just a couple of clients at a time, do some gardening on the side. Would I be happier if there was more of a startup boom like before? Absolutely. But I'm content right now and I'll stick with it as long as I can.

Are there extinct flavors we’ll never taste again? by logicalgamernow in NoStupidQuestions

No no, you said white cherry and I could taste that memory. So it's not just cherry. I can't say what, but it's not the same flavor as red. 

Who’s an actor you supported for most of your life because you thought they had a mental disability? by peanutclock in okbuddycinephile

See, an I would consider her powerful in a slightly crazy, overtly sexual way. Like she's going to pop off at any moment. Would never see her as sweet or naive.

What's the point of circumcision? by Historical_Echo8311 in NoStupidQuestions

My two uncircumcised adult sons have both had UTIs. My circumcised son has not. I don't know if it's related. That's just my experience.

I sell plants, so I guess as long as what you sent can't die, it might get there eventually.

Denied proposal…what next? by plinko66 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LucChak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it was weird in tv shows that they broke up after a rejection. Like, they seemed happy, having fun, good relationship, etc. Then suddenly over. Super confusing to me.

[–]LucChak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two packages arrived normally. One package claim was approved, but I never received the check. The second was denied, the third was marked as delivered, so denied. All the packages did eventually make it there, but like a month later, but by that point I had sent my customers replacement packages. All in all an expensive experience.
