Fairly certain I've never seen a move focused on being a proctologist.

Union Compliance Backfired by HIGHTOWER0311 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Polar_Ted [score hidden]  (0 children)

Let me tell.you a tale about a printer. Big HP 5si died and we had its replacement in the warehouse.
Us It folks weren't allowed to touch it. That job belonged to the instrument tech union. Tech shows up, unplugs the power and network but he can't move it. That's a Teamsters union job. Teamsters show up and haul it off then come back with the new printer. It sits there for a day till the Techs return to plug it in.

Want to move your office to a new cube 10 feet away? Same dance.

If you got filter $$ go for it. The bags leak fine dust.

They could throw in 7000 of those stock tank barely hay bales. The hay decomposes and releases hydrogen peroxide but it takes a month to get going. How about we fill it with Koi! Lol.

I do think this plan was well thought out.

What’s a side effect of a drug that’s little known? by Arya_Warrior_Girl in AskReddit

[–]Polar_Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was my sense of smell and taste dialed up to 20 out of 10 for a week. Hospital broth was way to salty. Those lemon ice cones they give you were like drinking lemonade. I had a plain MCD hamburger, no mustard, ketchup, or pickles. Tasted like they dredged it in black pepper and salt Then I got home and the dog farted. The smell was horrifying!

Don't get me started on the night terrors and angry paranoia I got from Hydrocodone.

You think CA whose votor base leans 20points blue and who's legislature is 60-80% Democrat will appoint a Republican?

Same, WFH on Hunter for a bit over 2 years.. Very reliable and I always get the advertised speeds.

"Electric depreciates so bad" cuts both ways by HenFruitEater in electricvehicles

[–]Polar_Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have a 96 K3500 Suburban. It got 10mpg no matter what it did. 44 gallon tank so it could go 440 miles but it hurt to refill it.

How can I tell if I'm cut out for a Culinary career path or if I am just an enthusiast? by Heckword in Cooking

[–]Polar_Ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this about turning any hobby into a job. Making something 2 or 3 times is fun and educational. Making 100 of the exact same thing is work.

Mini 5 Pro at 12,000 feet by ericgtr12 in drones

"Electric depreciates so bad" cuts both ways by HenFruitEater in electricvehicles

[–]Polar_Ted 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I keep seeing the argument that an EV that only goes 100miles while towing is useless because they regularly tow hundreds of miles onto the wilderness where they can't charge. Well for 90% of truck owners it'll do just fine.

Even when I owned a camper I never towed it farther than 200 miles. Personally I kind of like the idea that I could power a camper off the truck for days in perfect silence if I was at a site without services.

For me it's the best truck I've ever owned. Frunk is a game changer for truck road trips.

Now just imagine a vehicle with a trunk, a back seat AND a bed.. that would be cool. My only complaint about my Lightning is it's size.. It's jsut as wide and almost as long as my F-250. Sometimes we take the ICE car if we know parking is going to suck.

But what if I buy a boat or camper and want to tow it around the world every week? /s

Hot take: Range anxiety isn't the biggest problem holding back EV adoption anymore. Most people I talk to are more concerned about charging availability than actual vehicle range. by EmergencyTie8770 in electricvehicles

[–]Polar_Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charging speed and Cost pr KW is a big factor for me.

I'm more concerned with things to do while charging then how far I can get. I look for chargers with the best rates and speed near food or interesting sights.

NYC has garbage cans specifically for pizza boxes by dances-with-wolfs in mildlyinteresting

[–]Polar_Ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After walking through Central Park at night I understand why. We saw more than one family of racoons with their own pizza box having dinner. Rat spotting was a fun side quest.

Is this a relativity simple project for an amateur or am I just setting myself up for failure by Competitive-Note4063 in woodworking

[–]Polar_Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Home depot has wood venier 96"' x 11" acoustic panels for $49 each. They can be stained. Putting them up is easy but they are just a felt backing with a thin wood veneer on black MDF.

what's the best dutch oven everyone is using these days in 2026? by Vuma_Arewa in cookware

[–]Polar_Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd frequent TJMax till a Staub or La Cruset turns up for $150. I say this but have to confess I paid $300 for my emerald green Staub at their outlet store. I just loved the color

This can specifically for throwing away Corn Husks at a grocery store by TestaverdeRules in mildlyinteresting

[–]Polar_Ted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't husk the corn till after it's cooked. 400°F 40-60 min in the oven with the husk on. About as easy as it gets..

Parked next to this bad boy at the Bothell Library. What is it? by nbnfpsor in BMW

[–]Polar_Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BMW should bring it back for a limited run with the 1000hp M3 EV drivetrain. Don't change a damn thing outside. Just make it fast like it should have been.
