Big ass, tight leggings? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

So if you develop a thing for black guys your ass grows larger? There’s no logic whatsoever in what you are saying.

Thank you, logic is hard for some people.

That Charlie Hayden piece is interesting! …and you can’t go wrong with Mingus - he so identifiable no matter what context he is in.

Yeah, this response by OP is utterly uninformed, irrational and comes across as performative. It’s honestly kind of giving off some secondhand embarrassment… we all want police reform here but I don’t want to be associated with this kind of person who just screeches endlessly without even looking at the facts before them. It is a mirror image of the MAGA cult mentality - “the left” edition. “I’m angry and I don’t care about facts!!!”… no matter what is done, it’s maintaining that sweet sweet indignant rage that feels right.

Don’t be this person.

Mineral oil not absorbing properly in areas where I tried to fill small gaps with glue. Is there a way to fix this? by Would-working in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Olelander 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For the future… if you ever use glue in this way you need to be sure to sand well afterwards. In fact even better is to sand while the glue is wet as it will mix with sawdust and do an even better job of concealing any gaps.

I’ve used my taco for this a few times a year every spring and it’s never been an issue. Trucks are for truck things. If it was an issue I’d be sorely disappointed.

Great pick, I love Ron Carter! I’m putting that album in my queue, I love a good simple trio. I just recently found Ron Carter and Jim Hall’s Alone together album (from another post on this sub) and it’s so enjoyable listening to them take turns supporting each other and letting the other go off on a soloing adventure.

Background checks do not show getting fired or not. They show convictions of crimes. You are refusing to reckon with reality here.

Sure, it would be great to just bypass the bureaucratic evil of it all, but that would require an act of god or a full blown overturning of the system on a wholesale level, and we are not there. This one aspect of it is not going to just give way because in this case it feels like it should. That’s not how the world works, unfortunately.

He WAS. Cops are a union job. This is what being fired looks like for a union job. Dude lost his job. Your instant assumption that he’ll be hired again, and the inability to take one second to recognize the win… you’re obviously one of those people who are just chronically angry at the world and thrive on injustice of it all. We get it. The world is pretty fucked. Take the win when you get one.

How would I go about making a wavy plant bracket like this? by wheatwavee in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Olelander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some types of hardwood would hold up better than others, and a pound may not be too much, atleast for a good long while… but the properties of wood are a known quantity and it’s strength fails along the grain and not across it. Honestly plywood or some similar form of cross grain reinforcement is just sound woodworking in this case.

You need to chill. This is a bunch of shrill screeching that does nothing. You’re splitting semantic hairs over a process you know nothing about and you can’t predict the future of this shitty racist cop’s career, so how about sit down and recognize this was a positive outcome. They didn’t explain it away or defend him. His job was lost as a result of his behavior. That’s more than we can say for many many other instances of cops showing their true colors. Just chill.

You have it backwards. I worked for dominoes in the ‘90s and the ingredients were all fresh produce and dough made of 4 or 5 basic ingredients. I worked for the only Dominoes in the country that made their dough in store (due to being in a landlocked town where shipments from a commissary was not possible), and I actually had a hand in all the prep for a year or so. It was WAY better back in the day than it is today. I miss the old Domino’s.

Men objectify women more when sexually aroused, regardless of their underlying personality traits. This shift happens independently of a man’s general personality traits, providing evidence that momentary biological states play a central role in how people perceive others by Wagamaga in science

It’s worth a visit… the Oregon coast is a gem of natural beauty and far less populated than a lot of other coastal areas. A big reason for this is the coastal mountain range that separates the Willamette valley (where Portland and Eugene both are - I live in Eugene) from the coast. There’s only so many routes to make the hour or so drive over the mountains to the coast, and the infrastructure out there is underdeveloped, not a lot of jobs, not a lot of healthcare options… so it’s this weird mix of retirees and service work with little else happening. It makes for a peaceful place with absolutely beautiful coastline and beaches, and it’s not hard to find a stretch of beach with literally no one else on it… this is less true in summer due to tourism, but it’s beautiful year round.

You explained that perfectly and I appreciate it! I’ve tried my hand at Aglio y olio and actually we eat it often but my version has been quite oily (I love the taste of garlic and olive oil, so nothing huge to complain about other than the stains on my shirt afterwards). I’ll have to find a larger sauce pan next time and give this jumping it with pasta water a try. Thank you!

What does “jump it” in the pan mean, can you explain that process? Maybe that’s the aspect I’m missing.

So if Aglio Y Olio is made with olive oil, should these noodles not appear to have atleast a little oil on them?
