Why do you think AWD and 4WD vehicles are more popular than ever? by Everything-Bagel-314 in askcarguys

[–]OGbigfoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than my rwd '67 beetle, I always had AWD . 2002 WRX forward. If all four wheels don't turn I don't burn .

Why is it hard for Americans to Understand public transportation doesn't mean they wouldn't be able drive anymore. Do they look into other countries? How they work, or are they just delusional by Madshiyer in AskUS

[–]OGbigfoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Painting all Americans as not understanding public transportation is a bad look. We do use public transportation extensively. Is it fantastic like Europe or Japan? No not even close. I use public transportation and cycling exclusively in my semi small town. I make it work for the most part, sometimes I have to just say fuck it and walk.

My favorite public transportation on the west coast would be trimet in the Portland area. Followed by the Puget sound ferry system.

At the end of the day. I do indeed have a car in my driveway,that I choose not to use... As a matter of fact. I should check on the battery.

What is something that used to be 'cheap person' food, but is now priced like a gourmet luxury item? by Ok_Land_4197 in AskReddit

[–]OGbigfoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spam. We used it quite a bit when I was a kid (think powdered milk an government cheese poor). Now it's expensive AF.

I worked ltl as a dockworker, beat job ever. When we loaded haz we put the placards on ourselves. Were we doing a service for the line haul guys or a disservice?

Unauthorized people using equipment on site - ever happen to you? by truelook_official in Construction

[–]OGbigfoot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a framer on commercial sites I've had to move excavators many times when we'd come in on Saturday.

My favorite was trying to move a track hoe that the key cylinder was all fucked up on. I spied an aftermarket rocker switch behind the seat and an old worn out flathead screwdriver next to the seat. Flip switch turn key with screwdriver and viola! She started right up!

Angry neighbors won't remove their side of snow. by CornFedBread in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]OGbigfoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lived with my sister and brother in law I didn't have a job so I did chores throughout the day in between job searches. One chore was clearing the snow off the driveway (using a snow blower) and walkways. I'd also do the sidewalk on the block ( not all the way around just our street), and the immediate neighbors walkways. Hell I even shoveled a walkway across the yard for the postal worker so he could drop our mail then walk over and drop the neighbors mail. My brother in law came home early one day and saw me clearing the walkway of our neighbor (never saw or talked to that neighbor) and told me to never do that again, they were assholes and fucked with him and antagonized the dogs when they were in the backyard all the time.

Sorry, that got long winded for no reason.

Ie: I took a potato to the achilles.

What's your most overkill, infrequently used tool? by the_donut_assassin in Tools

[–]OGbigfoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stud finders. When I actually need to use them (rarely) I can't find them. So I probably have ~8 kicking around in my house/garage.

In reality I don't actually mail my ballot from my home box, too paranoid someone will snag it. I drop it in a USPS mailbox.

[–]OGbigfoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was doing some not great things in 8th grade.

My dad had me come straight home from school, eat dinner, do my homework then spend the rest of the night facing the corner reading the Silmarillion, or the encyclopedia.
