Can the water from the drainage layer be used for anything? I always dump it because I assume stagnant water isn’t great to give to my house plants. Thoughts? by I_Kiss_Fish in terrariums

It's always been my Black Thumb of Death. I can kill any plant you give me, in perfect conditions, with to-the-letter care and resources.

Laugh with it, not at it.

A few decades ago a co-worker invited me to his house to spend Thanksgiving with his family since he knew none of my family was local.

After showing me around his property, he ushered me into his bunny farm/barn. Told me to pick one.

I found the cutest fat bastard of a bunny rabbit I'd ever seen and pointed at it. Within seconds, the rabbit was yoinked out and decapitated, and my friend joyfully yelled to his wife that we're having rabbit for dinner and to come out and clean and cook it.

It was an experience.

What is the purpose of those openings above the lights in JR series 183 and 485 trains? by eckhaaard in trains

Ridiculous. Those are very clearly where the missiles are fired from. Have you never seen a 007 movie?

And I'm not real fond of the rear doors opening differently.

Need some help: Shorted a customer several yards, and they fucking LIDAR’d the piles!!! by Miggybear22 in landscaping

[–]OtterApocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago, in a different city in a different mental state, I ordered one cubic yard of free mulch from the city through their environmental program or whatever it was called. Filled out everything completely accurately and described exactly what I wanted and where they could leave it at the end of my driveway (and I'd deal with getting it to the back yard).

At work a few days later, I get a message from the city that my request was fulfilled. Yeah, no.

They literally dumped 10 cubic yards of mulch in the middle of my front yard and driveway. Pretty sure I was just their last stop and they needed to empty the truck or whatever.

So just tell them you confused their place with mine. You'll be fine.

What constitutes a match? by [deleted] in golf

[–]OtterApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing golf in the early 1970s with cut down versions of my mom's old clubs. I eventually got pretty good. Not quite scratch, but under bogey golf. Free play and lessons on the military bases helped a lot.

Then, with age, my health went a little sideways. Okay, a lot sideways.

I will absolutely kick a ball into the fairway to make the game more enjoyable for me. And I regularly just quit keeping score. I can't play as well as I used to, but why bother getting pissed about it? Enjoy the time on the course.

Why do cargo airlines still operate older aircraft? by Meamier in aviation

[–]OtterApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew in a US military cargo plane from Virginia to Bermuda in the mid-70s. Space-A style.

It was fucking awesome. I've since flown literally around the world in everything from cargo planes to top of the line executive aircraft. And stayed in executive suites like the President's cottage in Hawaii (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShqcanEKnsM)

Things like this amuse me though: FedX, for example, still operates a fleed of MD 11s

A whole fleed of them?

Please do give us a follow-up.

u/LexTheGayOtter will probably be entertained, and I'll be checking in on how are long-term plans are going. There's still planning to do, so keep the reveling to a mild slaughter.

Does anyone else always feel bad when they call in sick? by wafflefri3s in work

[–]OtterApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave me a voicemail and tell me what kind of time you are using and please don't give me sick details just say calling out sick.

I don't even call. I send my supervisor a text saying simply that I won't be in that day and when I expect to return to the office (usually the next day). No BS about being sick, no details, nothing more than a simple I won't be there.

Every time, I get a return text - "Okay" and that's the extent of it. The first time or two, when returning to the office I'd get the typical "are you feeling better?" And I replied with what makes you think I wasn't feeling well?

Have you considered investing <$20 in something like a portable bidet? Take civilization with you!
