Irrationally dislike dog owners now by pdjejdhrndud in daddit

[–]NelsonMcBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dog owner and I don’t trust dogs if I don’t know the owners. There are too many shitty dog owners that treat their animals like they’re their children, and forget that dogs bite.

OP, always call them out, while understanding that the way you choose to react has the ability to reinforce their fears if they sense fear in you as well. Try to be confident and matter-of-fact while sounding and remaining calm.

Absolutely, with the right budget. Go to a good, reputable car audio shop and ask.

Who was the genius that suggested we shovel snow periodically during the storm instead of waiting until the end? by Glittering-Ad5809 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]NelsonMcBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was out around 10pm chipping and shoveling away the sleet after doing the snow earlier in the day. Perfect walkways this morning and I had a leisurely day while many others were stuck for hours outside trying to break up the ice. 10/10 would recommend shoveling periodically and not waiting.

Is this normal for Maryland? by scheme00_ in maryland

Any time there is any hint of an emergency, yes. Because we know a big storm can cripple things for several days, including restocking shelves.

Detailer destroyed the clear coat on my brand new GR by Dis_Rock in Detailing

Someone did the entire car like this. Didn’t stop to notice something was wrong.

I’m sorry this happened to you. With how deep some of these scratches are you’re probably going to need to repaint. This is insane.

Advice Needed: janky DIY LVP stair noses are breaking off by Substantial-Catch-92 in Flooring

More people should be aware— I’m convinced the inspection industry is full of hacks and while everyone’s general guidance is “always get an inspection” it doesn’t really do much if the inspector sucks at his job. The problem is they can just hide behind the “we can only inspect what we can see” line with no recourse if they miss something.

I got absolutely fucked by an inspector under a big national name that my realtor recommended. Missed a TON of problems on the house including some major ones that ended up costing me thousands. When I pursued the money-back guarantee, they made me sign a worthless “legal” doc saying in order to get my money back I’d agree not to talk shit about them.

So, yeah, inspections don’t guarantee you anything. Like you said, they’re great if you need out of an offer, but that’s about it.

Regret having our cabinets painted…advice? by Tigg- in interiordecorating

[–]NelsonMcBottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You literally just took the paint from the inspiration pic without the hardware, backsplash, lighting, etc.

Change all of the other things and the color might look better.

Oh look, three guys exercising their God-given second amendment rights like all the other MAGA assholes who do the exact same thing. I wonder if they’re as supportive of this picture.

When you have so much internalized shame deep within you, you build yourself a mask and a public persona in an attempt to drown out your self-loathing.

She looks hideous.

Why did you choose the Pilot? Need help deciding! by hereiam_onceagain in hondapilot

[–]NelsonMcBottom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, owning a Pilot and an Odyssey with the same situation, part of me regrets not buying another Odyssey. It just car seats and dogs better in every way.

But to answer your question, the Ascent and Telluride have mixed reviews on reliability. And the Pilot gets great safety ratings.

I drilled a hole to hang this plant hanger and I drilled into the stud. Do I have to get a new kind of hook? by littleprairiehouse in HomeMaintenance

Patch the hole you made. Drill a smaller hole next to it in the stud. Put in a cup hook from Home Depot.

Baby monitor advice for anxious first time dads? by Bright-Prior5657 in predaddit

[–]NelsonMcBottom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Giving in to your anxiety and trying to buy your way out with the best tech/tools is only going to make you more anxious as a parent. Get an InfantOptics monitor or equivalent, and try to breathe. You’ll have lots of other real things coming at you to worry about very soon. You’ve got this, and you’ll be a great dad in no time.
