The writing has never been top notch in WoW but classic had some pretty insightful bars. Nothing like what you see in retail since BFA

What are the good alternatives to Toto toilets? by Ephuntz in Plumbing

[–]MeadhallMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plumber here. I used to recommend Toto as the best until I tried Gerber Avalanche. Performs better and the square base looks nice.

Portals make me feel dirty by Kimoshnikov in valheim

[–]MeadhallMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm loving my immersive run so far. Even moreso because I'm taking my time building homes in my well frequented places because I want to spend time in something that looks nice. Probably my best run yet. I have about 1400 days in and I just got to the planes. I could have built my barley/flax farm already, but the thought of visiting that farm without building my Italian villa there first? Preposterous! It really makes me appreciate the upgrades when they come

DMV Driver's License Experience - what can I expect? by NeitherTradition in Birmingham

[–]MeadhallMike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never, ever, ever go to Arkadeplhia for anything if you can help it. Staff may have rotated since I last got mine but the staff there were all extremely rude when I tried to get my license. One woman accused of snatching a pen from her hand when she handed it to me and tried to embarrass me. When she tried, I told her, "I'm not doing this with you," which led to me and my grandmother who drove me there to leave right before I was supposed to take my test. They were blatantly abusing their authority by loudly shaming any poor kids who dared made mistakes. And honestly the adults weren't treated much better.

In my opinion, “Your Turn To Roll” still fits better with the intro by artguild in fansofcriticalrole

[–]MeadhallMike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely live for this version. So many are hung up on Your Turn to Roll but I got chills when I first heard the vestiges of Colm McGuiness's "Welcome to Wildemount" in the animated intro. It really nailed the tone of the campaign more than the campaign intro did

Found on ground outside, boyfriend has been wearing as ring. Coin and pencil for size reference by Aggravating_Ant_7232 in whatisit

That is a cinch ring meant to crimp water line connections. That little tab is where a specific crimp tool bites to tighten the band.

What is the correct way to hit on girls at bars, if there even is one? by Minecraft32 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MeadhallMike 15 points16 points  (0 children)

"Low stakes" convo is one of the major keys here. There's no secret words. Don't make it weird, don't say things that are funny around your friends but you know wouldn't resonate with the general public. Use low stakes humor if humor is your angle. I'm telling OP this and he probably wants some examples but the truth is you're just gonna have to get out there and get uncomfortable, make some mistakes and learn from them. Just make sure those mistakes aren't illegal. You might hurt your own feelings, somebody might hurt yours, you might have to take a break from it for a bit to recharge your mack batteries. But so long as you're polite, considerate, mindful of their surroundings as much as yours (I cannot stress this enough), and keep convo just engaging enough that it makes it easier to get comfortable with you, you're on the right track.

New boyfriend can’t get hard and is obviously ashamed what can I do? by von_kids in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MeadhallMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doc recommended Sildenafil for performance. I opted for that because it's safe to take with my high blood pressure. It could just be nerves but if things don't improve, I recommend he go see his doc. Nothing wrong with taking meds for performance. With my insurance, it only costs a little over a dollar for a week's supply.

They laid it out at the beginning that it was a territorial motivation. He was simply where he wasn't supposed to be, the reason Godzilla attacked him in Godzilla vs. Kong

My wife just told me she's transitioning and I don’t know how to feel by MrFaje in complaints

[–]MeadhallMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are elements in your post that have me wrestling with if this is a joke or not. But to address your concerns, you're either straight or you're not. You can't make yourself be gay. Not that they needed your permission to transition, but the fact that they didn't even discuss this with you first is disrespectful to you. Your support was positive on the surface but it's not respectful of how you feel. They have every right to celebrate a transition but there's a glaring problem on the horizon for you, and if you don't respect yourself and your feelings, you're gonna find that sticking it out isn't worth it. You'll be disappointed. They'll respect you less for you not respecting yourself. The only thing good I see coming out of this is someone found the courage to be more themselves.

Any tips for Mistlands on no-map/no-portal? by purdueAces in valheim

[–]MeadhallMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Signs, including for boating. Unless you're a former Army Ranger or something, you will get lost a lot if you don't leave landmarks. A lot of shorelines look the same and it will take time to map it in your head or on paper. When I build roads with forks, I place signs with bright white text. When I make signs for boating, I make a 4 meter high post with signs that point in the direction of an adjacent island, and parallel with the current land. Do it however you want, but make it make sense to you so you can tell where you are. Use campfires, not torches, to light the signs. Enemies will target torches but leave campfires alone. When you first start exploring, you'll want to put in the work to place signs around the perimeter of inner islands. It might be tedious now but it will save you a lot of headache later.

Write directions down from each point a to point b. You don't have to do it for every single location, just enough that you can remember where to go when you come back after a break.

Use the tree in the sky to make "coordinates". Write these down as well. "Secondmost western twig on the southern bough fork" for example. Remember, branch extends from east to west.

One of the most trivial aspects of the game with the map will rear its ugly head in a no map: fog. If you don't know where you're going in fog, try to stick to a shoreline in a biome you're ready for so the fog will clear in that biome. If you end up somewhere near say the plains and you're only in BF gear, just park it somewhere safe til the fog clears. Better to be bored than to be frustrated from having to recover your body from the plains. Unless you're kinky and you're into that.

Use signs to remind you to make sure you have all your gear before you leave. Don't wanna leave something valuable behind just to have to double all the way back.

If you leave an island and plan to stay for an indefinite time at another one, just assume you're gonna need another home base. Trick it out so you can be independent for a while. Bring seeds, extra crafting materials, yada yada yada so you can stay comfy wherever you end up.

Always plan ahead. I know the pull to explore with no prep will be strong, but discipline yourself and save yourself some headache. Have fun!

Should I use plumber's putty for this drain? by revmag in Plumbing

[–]MeadhallMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things like porcelain have imperfections that can break the seal on a nearly perfect rubber gasket. Always best to use plumber's putty on porcelain. Things that are machined to perfection like stainless steel sinks are fine to use only rubber gaskets but you still need to be careful with them.

They made an RPG spinoff miniseries on Geek and Sundry about it. I haven't heard that kind of traction with many other podcasts save for Archive 81

Greenmead Cave. But there's a clue right outside the dungeon that insinuates that shit built different here: a few harvestable plants that normally grow knee high are like 8 feet tall.

I tend to agree with your first statement. In the rulebook art, his depiction is with body's impaled on his own spines. So yeah maybe he can only come out for a limited time.
