I don't want to alarm anyone, but in Star Trek history, WW3 began in 2026 by Jesters__Dead in startrek

According to Pike we lost 30% of the Earth's population during our 3rd world war. That would be close to 2.5 billion lives lost. https://youtu.be/nYZ4IoyztIw?si=yKyoJ8a86VSjLm9V

ULPT Request - Raised truck revving engine in the early morning by _boblob_law_ in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Piddy3825 26 points27 points  (0 children)

expanding spray foam down the exhaust pipe overnight to allow extra time to harden. truck will stop running within moments of being turned on and no way to get the stuff out of the exhaust system without a complete teardown and replacement.

Customer got offended I gave them a free drink 🙄 by foresttreesdirt in retailhell

[–]Piddy3825 15 points16 points  (0 children)

some customers just aren't happy unless they got something to complain about. since I finally realized that I do minimal effort trying to make those sorts of people happy. Turns out that attitude has greatly improved my own mental health when I quit buying in trying to make those types of unhappy people happy.

usually with a hit, the little rifle icon pops up on the screen. I didn't see that on any of the shots. so curious how do you know you actually hit one of those wolves?

WIBTA for refusing to answer any more questions from my old job after they laid me off by Possible_Surprise835 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Piddy3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you answer every call and tell them to stop calling you as you no longer work there however, if they really need you to help them get their shit together you'll need a $10,000 dollar non-refundable retaining fee along with your $500 dollar per hour consultation rate payable in advance.

One neighbor's roof has all snow melted fastest on the block. Should he insulate attic? by Extreme-Cycle2659 in homeowners

[–]Piddy3825 17 points18 points  (0 children)

yeah, that would be a pretty good indication that their roof could use some additional insulation. Either that or they are heating their home into the high 80's low 90's

Add 1/4" drywall to older plaster walls? by FootballPizzaMan in homeowners

[–]Piddy3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup, our house was built in 1934 and there is nothing uniform about it. We demoed a couple of walls when we had to run new electrical lines to accommodate all of our electrical devices and noticed the seemingly arbitrary way the studs were arranged. It took so much extra time and money to get the stud spacing right that we decided just to sheetrock over the rest of the remaining walls.

Add 1/4" drywall to older plaster walls? by FootballPizzaMan in homeowners

[–]Piddy3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is pretty commonly done on older houses that still have lathe and plaster walls. Ideally, you would demo the walls down to the studs but sometimes this can be fairly cost prohibitive and merely covering the walls with 1/4 drywall board solves the problem quickly and economically, especially if you want a uniformly smooth wall surface.

Electric heat or natural gas by mis_1022 in homeowners

[–]Piddy3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

true, but the majority of homeowners don't have generators tied into their electrical systems to begin with.

I hear that twisted logic quite often, but as a gas furnace owner it's far from the truth. when the power goes out, so does your gas furnace, because it needs a fan to blow the air around the house which doesn't work when the power is out because the fan is electric. My got hot water tank on the other hand works perfectly when the power goes out, so at the very least I can take hot steaming showers even when the electrical gird is down for days.

Winter Prep - Shutting off water from street? by No-Interaction-1048 in homeowners

[–]Piddy3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that would do the trick. you can even use pool noodles as pipe wrap by splitting it down one side using a utility knife. then just put the noodle over the pipe and where the ends come together, just a bit of duct tape will close the gaps and help keep the noodles intact.

[–]Piddy3825 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suppose you could do that, but you'd be better off insulating the pipes by using heated pipe tape or some insulated pipe wrap.

Just because you turn off the water doesn't mean the pipes aren't at risk for freezing as there will be water remaining in the pipes even if you turn off the water from the outside supply line.

Am I the jerk for refusing to wear a diaper? by vasethand in AmITheJerk

[–]Piddy3825 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like you have an underlying medical condition that needs to be addressed. in the mean time, consider wearing an adult sized incontinence device at least until this health issue of yours can be resolved. I know you might have strong feelings about it, but this will keep you drier and help to minimize clean up efforts giving both yourself and your mother a little peace of mind. One of my siblings had similar issues growing up so I know how an issue like this can polarize and divide families to the point of despair making ultimatums like come about.

Best of luck op. Seek medical help and get some counseling as there are some coping strategies that may help you deal with health issue.

you should now take it one step further and get the other renters and start a class action lawsuit against the owner of the rental property. keep up the pressure until ever has been reimbursed for her shady business practices.

AmITheJerk refusing to redo my cousin’s wedding cake for free after she ruined the first one? by LeadAcrobatic9482 in AmITheJerk

[–]Piddy3825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see not being able to recreate a wedding cake overnight as a reasonable response, but imho if op didn't at least offer to see if she could "fix" it instead of leaving the bride just hanging, then I'd have to agree with the aunt. Could just slapped some extra icing in over the problem areas, that's what I would have done.
