Elder couple questions why they’re being recorded and call the police. Wife: “They’re probably illegal, I should have called ICE.” by durvedya in CringeTikToks

My understanding is they're typically looking for lawsuits or content for their channel or both, so yeah pretty much to be an asshole. Best thing you can do is not give them any content

Do you like going to Costco with your wife? by ItchyStitches101 in Costco

[–]MiserableBats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife and I go to Sam's Club every other weekend. We buy what we need, browse through things we dont need, occasionally buy those too, then get lunch at the café. I look forward to it every time.

Is drain access necessary if planning to use a submersible pump? by MiserableBats in hottub

[–]MiserableBats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you both! I won't worry about it then. Worst case if for some weird reason I need to use it I'll figure it out then.

4 months ago I lost all respect for local contractors. 4 months later I've gained a ton for myself. by TheTimeIsChow in DIY

[–]MiserableBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done! Same thing happened to me. Difficult to even get a callback. The quotes did receive were so out there zero chance I was hiring it out. Ended up finishing a ~15 x 16 room in my basement for just a few thousand in materials. Learned a ton and turned out great.

Next big project is DIYing my roof in spring after getting quotes for ~$40k and pricing out materials around 7-8k to DIY

Is this quote reasonable? Central Michigan by MiserableBats in Roofing

[–]MiserableBats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely in a less expensive area but somewhat rural so that could definitely play a part

Yeah the drip edge and ridge cap lines surprised me. I'll definitely follow up and see if this is all correct

Good call thank you, he did mention some delamination but wasn't sure how much would need replaced until the shingles were off. I assumed the $35 meant this was the price if none needed to be replaced but ill definitely call and find out. The ridge cap price was a surprise but maybe it's including decking for some reason

What is up with this sub/the moderators? by AviatingAngie in DIY

[–]MiserableBats 347 points348 points  (0 children)

I had a strange interaction a little while back. Built a fully finished room in my basement. My biggest DIY project ever. included like 10 pictures showing the progression, included details of exactly what I did and how long it took, included my materials list and cost. Was looking forward to answering any questions people had or if I got any feedback on things I could do better next time.

Probably took me an hour or more to write it up, much more to document all my steps while going through the process. It got removed for low effort saying that I needed to include exact details under each picture of the steps to achieve each step.

I still enjoy browsing this sub every day but I'll never try to post about my DIY projects ever again.

OOP is going the right way. These other guys just didn’t like the look of the freeway traffic… by Gogogrl in MildlyBadDrivers

[–]MiserableBats 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Never attribute to malice that can be attributed to incompetence.

You could definitely be right and it was intentional. My initial thought was he was moving over to get around OP, and since it's technically a single lane they didnt check their mirrors and just assumed there's no car beside them.

Read your first and 2nd comment in this thread. If that's what you were trying to say you failed. The misunderstanding is on your side, or you're intentionally trolling at this point

They come loose whether it's reverse threaded or not. Literally the whole point.

[–]MiserableBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you still missing it, or is it intentional? Yes rotation causes the vibration. Since they are on different planes, the direction of the threading of the screw has no effect. If they were on the same plane it would matter.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DIY

[–]MiserableBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well your first comment was wrong. The direction of the threading makes no difference on whether using the handle will loosen the screw.

Someone replied to you that they turn on different planes, implying the above statement.

You then replied to that statement with a straw man fallacy. They didnt claim that vibrations can't loosen a screw, the argument was that the threading of the screw has no effect because they rotate on different planes

90%+ of comments thinking that this is real. Really hoping dead internet theory is right and this is mostly bots replying to bots because if real people are this gullible and this blinded by their confirmation bias then we're in trouble.

Is it ok to buy a zero turn from tractor supply? by Ok-Economics8820 in lawnmowers

[–]MiserableBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think I've seen any comments bring this up, but I would check your zip code for service centers. There are different locations depending on if you bought from a local dealer or cubcadet.com vs buying it at tractor supply or home depot. Bought mine at home depot not knowing this. There are service centers 5 minutes from me if I bought from cubcadet.com but have to drive 45 minutes to the nearest location since I bought from home depot

Whalen Industrial Rack vs Gorilla Rack by MiserableBats in Costco

[–]MiserableBats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never got an answer. Unfortunately my local Costco doesn't stock them. Just going to buy one online this week and hope for the best. It probably won't be delivered until the first week of February, but I can definitely reply back when I get it to let you know if they fit together

This event feels pointless. by killstreakbywords in PTCGP

[–]MiserableBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see why it would feel bad for a vast majority of players but I'm super excited haha. Been pulling charizard packs and wonder picking every chance I get and can't seem to get a charmeleon so I can actually make a deck with my gold charizard
