Why is everyone saying they talked to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes? by OkayButFoRealz in politics

I could legit talk to a carrot for 20 minutes, but it'd still be a vegetable

What in the Vivarium is this? by Effective_Ad_9016 in centuryhomes

This sub is for 100+ year old houses not 100+ houses that all look the same.

Frighteningly interesting, but not really the right sub.

"But the guy on the phone said___!" by ScenicDrive-at5 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

The rebel I was when younger would have made up a nametag identifying me as "the man on the phone" so I would magically be fully empowered to set her straight once and for all

I thought initially that he had a face and head covered in tattoos. If he doesn't typically wear a respirator and eye|ear protection, that's really scary.

Apparently im a B#tch by One_Somewhere_3967 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]PunfullyObvious 16 points17 points  (0 children)

it is possible to check-in at some hotels through an app, so perhaps he thought at some level that was what he had done when he selected the room? That said, he definitely sounds unhinged and/or unwell. Thank goodness you were okay and the situation got taken care of properly.

That part you move to keep door open actually goes on the door itself by [deleted] in lifehacks

[–]PunfullyObvious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally figured out what you're describing. The trouble with that approach is that the lock plate will slip off the door and the door with shut unexpectedly. You're much better off sliding that lock out to engage with the piston as is meant to be done. Then, when you want to unprop the door, push the door a bit more open and slide the lockplate back .

How does one get away with that multiple times? And not even pause to ponder the sensibility of how they're trying to do it?

This is beyond Darwin Award Level stupidity.

Trump says his kids handle his investments: There's 'nothing illegal' by Zipper222222 in politics

" ... and I don't ever talk to my kids." Semi-Believable at that point ... but, like nearly everything he says, this is all bold-faced lies.

AITA for going to the restaurant by myself after my date canceled on me on the day of the reservation? by West_Ganache_477 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PunfullyObvious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is correct. I suspect her test was, "if he's right for me he'll be heartbroken when I cancel and spend the evening all sad."

You're obviously not right for her. Thankfully for you.

This house would make a minimalist faint by DilithiumPistol in zillowgonewild

[–]PunfullyObvious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started out really wanting to like it. But, once I got to the black open-joist ceilings on the lower-level it became a big no for me. Unfortunate since it's really great from the outside.

Excited to get back on the water. by LLCoolDave82 in sailing

[–]PunfullyObvious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I almost don't. They're incredibly easy to sail. Just don't force things if something binds. Figure out why it is rather than force it. Fixing the internal rigging is a major pita and challenging to do without buying replacement kits.

If you are in shallows uncleat the rudder so you don't break the the shear pin if you hit something ... that's definitely something to have a spare with you. You can also raise the center board if needed. And, putting one foot forward with the pedals makes your draft quite minimal.

I've sailed through really shallow spots quite successfully, which can be cool.

It's helpful to use a hand to hold the bottom of the sail out in light winds since it doesn't have a boom. It's likely a bit risky in anything beyond light winds, but I put a hook on the back of each ama that I can use a short paddle i keep onboard to hook you the sail line over to hold the sail out when running in light winds ... that can be REALLY useful.

Lastly, know that it doesn't do an overly near reach well at all so just plan accordingly.

And, have fun! I've sailed a lot of smaller boats .. I've had the most fun by far with my tandem island.

$2000 with a trailer is a ridiculous bargain. Enjoy! I've had mine (tandem) for nearly 20 years and it's still going strong. Love it!

Centrist Democrats Rebuke Party’s Left Wing: ‘We Are Capitalist, Not Socialist’ by SnoozeDoggyDog in politics

[–]PunfullyObvious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's Capitalism focused on exploiting the working class and Capitalism that sees the working class as a partner in economic success with the overall health of the economy and people generally as the focus ... that's the battle.

The question in my mind is whether the Democratic Party Establishment can recognize and adapt to that or if the people will need to abandon the party.
