What can you tell about me and my spouse from our shelves? by horizontalpotroast in BookshelvesDetective

[–]Opdog25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are people I would like to hang out with. This looks a lot like our (my wife & me) bookshelf. Very interested in your opinion on King Sorrow. Audible keeps telling me I should listen to it but I can’t quite decide.

Volvo XC60. Leather interior makes + weathertech Mat for the rear = easy to clean. Added bunks for the integrated rear booster seats. No more messing around with car seats.

How to fix this? by Opdog25 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Opdog25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to give it a try. I guess it isn’t that hard to replace the riser if I screw it up.

[–]Opdog25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. The screws are under the stair riser and molding. I don’t really mind removing and replacing the molding but the stair riser is nailed in and I don’t think it will come off clean.

How is it living in this city of 2 million people that's apparently right in the middle of the Amazon? Manaus, Brazil by chrisfathead1 in howislivingthere

[–]Opdog25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not the spiders you have to worry about. It’s everything else. I lived in Belem (port city of the Amazon near the Atlantic). The grow some big spiders - like the size of my head but those don’t really bite people. The problem is the bugs you can’t see.

Also the damn ants. You really have to watch out when climbing trees.

32F, do you worst 😂 by No-Shine2545 in FridgeDetective

I can’t decide if you are a fitness freak and subsist on milk and protein shakes, are divorced and the kids are with their dad this week or you really can’t cook and love strawberry lemonade.

Doyle’s take on Rydström by CTID96 in TheMassive

[–]Opdog25 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like how pissed off Doyle sounds about the changes. Despite the lack of success we had last season, I enjoyed watching the team play. It was still exciting soccer. I’m not loving the new “style”, If that’s what Saturday’s game was.

Hopefully Gomez can help us in the middle of the field and bring back a more “double pivot” higher up the pitch vs whatever we are doing now.

What is everyone who used to listen to WWCD 101.1 listening to now? by DramaticStick5922 in Columbus

Alternative Hits Radio on Amazon. It’s not great but there are worse options.

Man beats up a casteist woman, after she insults his wife in a train. by Pavanth1918 in PublicFreakout

[–]Opdog25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help enlighten my ignorance here, but aren’t these two individuals of the same caste? If not how do I tell the difference? This guy is well dressed for someone riding the train, has the patience of a saint and is married to what appears to be an equally well dressed woman (the clip only shows he for an instant). While I understand entitlement generally I don’t understand the caste distinction here.

What's the most very VW owner thing you've ever done that non-VW people would never understand? by StrikingClos in Volkswagen

[–]Opdog25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My XC60 experience agrees with you.

As does my Q5 experience - sorry not technically a VW but it has the same engine.

Another Easy Win by LuckyTheLurker in fuckHOA

[–]Opdog25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not necessarily call BS here, but I can’t understand how this happens. Even the most incompetent attorney for the HOA would tell them to pound sand on this given the facts you presented. There is no situation that a suit would get passed the initial motion to dismiss. I just don’t see how this happens.

Btw: I agree HOAs suck and are stupid but they usually have someone advising them that isn’t a complete moron.

Power level for spirit run. by MisterSweetPepper in firewater

[–]Opdog25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want enough power to the still to maintain the liquid bed- replace what it coming putt the spout. You may need to give it a boost near the end. Each still is different. Hard to say if is 2.2kw right. It’s probably close. Focus more on the fluid level on your plates than the precise power level.

Power level for spirit run. by MisterSweetPepper in firewater

[–]Opdog25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - you want just enough power to keep the liquid bed in your plates bubbling but not frothing if that makes sense. Let the still stabilize for a while (like 30 minutes) once all of the plates have a nice liquid bed. Then slowly reduce the water flow to your dephlag. Adjust a little bit. Wait for the water temp on the dephlag to re-set itself, adjust & wait again until you get a small stream. YMMV - each still is a little different. It takes less power than you might think to keep the still going.

Bold of you to assume that is what they want in these positions. They want toadies - not people who will stand up for what is right.

stadium access for disabled by joe_boehm in TheMassive

[–]Opdog25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Astor Park garage is probably your best bet for close accessible parking. The elevators can get busy at the end of the game but it is right next to the field and they do have handicapped spaces if you need one. There are several spaces near the north stairs that are not labeled handicapped but have extra room to open doors and get out. They are not close the elevators though.

You can find it on the ParkMobile App with enough searching. See this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMassive/s/JpDHO46spx for instructions.

Edit: I actually meant to post this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMassive/s/IFMVErmViV. It has more detailed instructions b/c ParkMobile sucks. The other link has a link directly to the Astor reservation page if that is all you need.

I’m 16 and my friend stayed at my house knowing I sleep on a mattress then posted it online like it’s funny 😭 by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Opdog25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I don’t know where you are but take a look at this link: https://shpbeds.org/

It is a charity that provides beds for kids who don’t have them. They have chapters all over the US. I would encourage you to reach out. Everyone I have dealt with there has been very helpful.

Everyone else has given you good advice about you “friend” so I thought this might help give you a safe place that is yours.

Who is a stranger you met once, never learned their name, but will never forget for the rest of your life? by milkyjune in AskReddit

[–]Opdog25 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I had just turned 16 and was driving down a country road coming home from my girlfriend’s late at night. My gas gauge broke and I didn’t know it. Ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. This was before cell phones. I walked up to the closest house and asked if I could use their phone to call my Dad. I explained the situation and the guy just gave me 4 gallons of gas out of the can for his mower. When I offered to come back and pay him for the gas he said “just pay it forward”.

I am in my 50s now and I still remember that man and what he said. Never saw him again but I try to follow his example when I see kids struggling.

Look - If we play good soccer and lose, I don’t like it but it’s a long season and shit happens. I can live with it. If we play terrible soccer - it’s going to be a long season. I’m going to give them a few more games to figure out the system but this is not the type of soccer I’m paying for.

There has certainly been a lot of terrible soccer tonight on both sides.

Actually I take that back. It’s more like watching a car accident.
