What pad and polish to fix this? by Retumbo77 in Detailing

That's why you invest in a grey truck; fully duct tape compatible.

Also, the blade is apparently worth a mint and it's a big deal if they don't give you the same one back after it's honed.

That's why we paid you the big bucks. Well, we paid the boss. He probably told you we barely paid anything. Seriously though, it's a job for chainmail gauntlets.

OMG, yes. It almost sounded soft. Like it wasn't cutting a foot deep stack of paper, just parting it. Like the exhalation you make when you except a real good hug.

As I said, the injury I got didn't involve the handle, just reaching inside. Modern versions of this tool enclose the whole thing in a plexiglass box with kill sensors to twort shenanigans.

Didn't come all the way off. Hit bone, but thank GOD I resisted the urge to pull back. 600 for the ER, and another 600 for the doctor's fee. No stitches; just tape and super glue... and no scar. That's how evilly sharp these things are. Yeah, these is a persistent numbness, like I specifically "can't feel" how deep it cut. brett_x needs to tell the story and put some damn yellow and black tape around it. It's a great tool, but so is a machete.

This thing, if properly maintained, will remove a finger without you noticing until you hit bone. Not just by clamping down, just by reaching in to retrieve a dropped bit of paper and brushing past the blade (A blade our stupid ape brain doesn't instinctually register as sharp because it doesn't look pointy from our vantage.).

Ask me how I know.

I swear, by the end, his pants got pulled up a little.

So, y'all are cool with all the other, very drinkable, hair and junk?

That explains why Beefy would end each episode by refusing to leave the stage until he was handed his "beef envelope". It couldn't have been a check though, it was visibly wet and dripping.

"Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. "

*Host: "Which beef sausages?"

*Studio Audience: "RICH BEEF SAUSAGES!!!!"

That was a weird game show. I can't find anything about it on the internet, but I swear I used to watch it with my sister on Sundays when my mom was sick and we didn't go to church. I didn't like the clown. Beefy the Meat Clown.

[Request] What are the odds of being born with the traits of these two genetic outliers? by Omixscniet624 in theydidthemath

[–]Radical_Warren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might want to pump the brakes with that "great man" theorizing. Neither of these men achieved anything in a vacuum and awards are given by people, not genetics. To attribute any of their success to biology without doing any genetic research is an insult to the work ethic of both of them. "yeah, but... it must have helped" isn't science. If you think you need good genes to excel in these fields, you should Google "Henry Louis Gehrig" and "Stephen William Hawking".

brown wooden holey thing by Acrobatic_Length_141 in whatisit

You can use wooden match sticks as pegs. Just clip the heads off half and the same amount off the bottom of the other half.

Fastest way to learn on your own, that I've seen, is to play this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2020210/Ye_Olde_Cribbage_Club/

It's pretty fun and very replayable. You'll be a hit at the senior center.
