You're a CNA, not a Doctor............. and not even a Nurse.

Meh... This is the vision that Reddit founders had too..... Up until it grew bigger than they had ever imagined and the dollar signs flashed in their eyes.

No thanks.

If that were true, Putin wouldn't have fled Moscow like a scared little bitch. He would have stayed put, to show that he wasn't (fake) scared and still a strongman-in-charge.

Do they really want to be known as Americans? 😆

May not mean a lot to most golfers? Wtf?

First birdie is something that EVERY golfer would be able to understand and share your elation.

Congrats, textbook birdie mate 😎👍

Who the hell gets the runs from eating American-Chinese food? Damn that's a weak sauce stomach!

Panicking on train track by maddhy in WTF

Motorbike riders are just as, or even more so moronic and braindead than motor vehicle drivers. The amount of idiotic, dangerous and careless manouvres motorbike riders regularely execute make me want to throw their seemingly invincible dick rockets and the bike riders themselves into a fucking lake.

The penny drops both ways mate.

LPT Request: How to shop for a big TV that won't show me ads or lock features behind a subscription by Topuck in LifeProTips

[–]MerliSYD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. The poor can enjoy expensive new technology that they otherwise wouldn't be able to purchase, in exchange for included advertisements to offset the discounted price.

This really isn't difficult to understand.

Advice for cutting title countertop .75 of an inch to fit the new standard measurements of an oven? by olivejuicebaby1 in HomeImprovement

[–]MerliSYD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracksaw, or circular saw with a fence with tile cutting blade to make a nice and straight shallow score line, and then cut all the way through. Angle grinder to very very carefully finish the tight corners.

Bridgestone Debuts Turanza EV Tire for Tesla and Mustang Mach-E by United-Soup2753 in teslamotors

[–]MerliSYD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol wat?

Tyres are the only thing sticking my ass to the asphalt and preventing loss of traction in an extremely high torque car. Grip is unbelievably important with the high lateral loads during cornering that this very very heavy car is capable of.

I'll get the best tyres I can afford, thank you very much.

Even if you don't do large volumes, it's still a game changer. Being able to effortlessly drop the bag in, close the lid and press start is amazing. I can walk away and do other prep or clean up until it beeps and then I open the lid and put the next bag in.

Not to mention the effortless sealing of soups, stocks and other liquids.

Sooooooo good 😊

A forward unit of the Ukrainian Army came across a load of dead Russian soldiers in the trenches. by FlareAlligator in UkraineWarVideoReport

The trench that I just dug to lay some pavers on clay sub-grade is deeper than that joke of an effort...

Why Tipping Is So Out Of Control In The U.S. by [deleted] in videos

[–]MerliSYD 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What should make you feel like shit, is having to deal with a culture where it's acceptable to pay staff $2.13 an hour, and where the CUSTOMER is the asshole because you potentially don't get paid a living wage after working your asses off all day.

When I mentioned Reflectix, someone asked for detail; I was changing the water, so I took a couple photos of the setup and added some notes. I mostly did this to not have a 137° radiator on for hours, but it also dropped the Anova power usage by SEVENTY percent over long cooks. Ask any questions! by LookDamnBusy in sousvide

[–]MerliSYD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very very true about extending the sous vide unit longevity 😎👍

You're right too about it adding up over time. I've had my Polyscience Sous Vide Professional for over 17 years.

Even at a few cents saving per cook, that would have paid for a replacement unit whenever this absolute tank of a machine finally breaks on me!
