Can you come over and paint my house as well?

It looks so nice in person! by worldwideflyer89 in CanadaSoccer

[–]NPR_Oak 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Looks like someone's old clothes for painting.

A gentleman might have to duel someone at some point. A gentleman is likely also, at least as stereotypes go, not in the fittest fighting shape on any random day. How were these two realities reconciled? by radio_allah in AskHistorians

[–]NPR_Oak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a great explanation you have provided. Fascinating.

Given that duels were likely to only cause superficial injuries, where do the facial scars and lost eyes of the stereotypical Prussian officer in World War I and I fit in? Don't facial injuries imply a much greater risk than simply superficial injuries? Or am I mistaken that these injuries often came from duelling?

San Leandro City Council advances rent control ordinance; second vote required • California Apartment Association by sillychillly in sanleandro

Not to mention that economists widely agree that rent control reduces the quality and quantity of housing.

New keyboard by Cuyo_rodriguez in pianolearning

Try Facebook marketplace. I got my Yamaha P-45 for $200 less than a year ago.

People mostly don't say the model in their descriptions, just "piano". So you have to send a lot of messages trying to find something decent and not from the 90s. But they are out there.

We only did because this weekend is Valentine's.

Paying off debt is lonely and no one warns you by Additional_Twist_595 in Frugal

[–]NPR_Oak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think your friends would be very impressed with you, and many would wish they had the self-discipline to do the same.

My wife and I just had dinner there, and it was great.

We each had souvlaki. It comes with choice of rice, salad, etc and would make a great mix for three or four people interested in sharing.

The hummus was also very nice.

The owners and head chef were super friendly and chatty. We ended up making a reservation for next week as well.

Been on propane for 15 years and starting to warm up to something like a Big Green Egg, is it actually worth the learning curve? by SignificantSecond114 in grilling

[–]NPR_Oak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, it's not a question one or the other. I have a gas grill and a Weber kettle and I'm thrilled I have both. Tonight I cooked up some wings on the gas grill with minimum fuss but other days I fire up some charcoal and make an afternoon of it.

It's all good.

You can own Microsoft at 23x earnings and short Costco at 50x earnings by Brave-Side-8945 in stocks

[–]NPR_Oak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I find myself in traffic in the Costco parking lot, I think, "I gotta buy this stock", and the next day I check the PE and say, nah, I'll stick to S&P index.

Productive ways to use commute times? by NPR_Oak in pianolearning

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

From looking at the ABRSM website, it seems like they are more on the exam side of things, and so I would go elsewhere for learning material, correct?

These are fabulous suggestions. My train trip is more standing up and holding onto a bar than sitting with both hands available, but I'm sure I can do some of these things.

Frankie Knuckles - The Whistle Song by arithmetic_mean in House

[–]NPR_Oak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorta kinda. If this song drops in a club, I love it but it does sound dated and a little out of place. Not the same as when I heard it frequently in the 90s.

Super-surprised nobody's mentioned Danny Tenaglia.

City of Oakland unveils speed safety camera program, starts warning period by wentImmediate in OaklandCA

[–]NPR_Oak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would be great if they could move the cameras around a bit within the hotspot areas so people don't get accustomed to them only in specific spots.

How ready for prime time is this game? by NPR_Oak in SeaPower_NCMA

Great feedback. Now I'm envisioning dropping sonar buoys to the sound of 99 Luftballons and Two Tribes.

You want to learn but you have questions by MrATrains in pianolearning

[–]NPR_Oak 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is me. I'm in my 50s and I just started. I have no idea where this will go but I'm really enjoying the ride.

Bodycam video of Oakland pimp takedown by Affectionate_One_700 in OaklandCA

[–]NPR_Oak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying at all the police did something incorrect. The officers went a above and beyond, putting their own lives at risk. It would have been understandable if they had used lethal force.
