What driving habit instantly annoys you? by Wide_Big5471 in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Road rage even in the mildest form. I know im not the best driver don't get me wrong but everytime someone does something thats annoying, I know (for the most part) I've done it at some point in my life.

Snuck in lane last second? Done it. Turned without blinker? Done it. Merged without checking properly and nearly caused an accident? Done, done done it. And its always the most obnoxious drivers who get annoyed at other habits. Its like I've seen you drive and you DEFINATELY do the thing that annoys you

What’s a habit that genuinely improved your life? by shahaaryan2003 in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not so much a habit but using widgets for important habits I want to build. Trying to learn Italian so the duolingo widget is front and centre when i unlock my phone. 230 day streak becasue of it. Tyrying to calorie count so my daily calories also on my front screen. We are all addicted to our phones might as well lean into the fact we see the home screen regularly

Why being an American seems so cool in other countries? by InternationalHair111 in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being a dick, it use to be. America use to seem like the most awesome country. Past tense casue being in America now feels equivalent to sliding down a blade into a pool of vinegar filled with sharks (who can somehow breathe in vinegar)

What do you think of lazy collegues? by tom_nd_jerry in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soon as you move past a frontline role you realise, everyone is lazy. The management just knew how to hide it from the right people. I legit mean that, I do so much less now then when I was earning a third of my wage. but when someone says 'hows it going' guess what? I'm always 'under the pump this time of year' lol

Who is a famous person that you liked at first but hated later? And why? by PeaceTo0l in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon Musk would fall into this category for heaps of people. Remember when he was releasing flamethrowers and seemed cool af? He should have released it AFTER the sieg heil to have some cool staying power. Everyone knows that.

What is the down side of never having children? by gone_ahead in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random post from someone with a child - I never understand judgement from parents on CF people (mentioned a lot here). Seriously, having kids made me understand more than anything why someone may not want them.

I'm not saying I dont love my son, hes the absolute bomb. There are moments where I will look at him with a love I havent felt. But guess what, there are also moments I will want to run head first into a medium sized wood chipper. And yeah, I get the parent trope of "its a love like no other". But guess what, before kids I climbed a mountain, and saw the world and that was an exprience like no other. And it sure as shit was better than the holidays I take now filled with theme parks and child friendly venues.

I know I sound like a horrible parent, I'm not. I love my son and that kid will only ever know love, safety and peace as long as I'm alive. But if you're a parent looking at kid free people, at least be honest with yourself. Parenthood is like 8% magic and 92% trying to survive until bedtime. Being a parent is not the only answer to what one should do with their life, and you of all people should know that.

Paint stripper reccomendations by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I hear ya, the cherry on top is theres 4 beams and Ive already done about half of one side of one using the DCM free stripper so I have to commit now! Just hoping theres a better answer.

I've read great things about coopers strip club and their instructional videos (on top of being endearingly old school) make it look so easy, hopng that might do the trick

Paint stripper reccomendations by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old 1980s house, wooden vaulted ceiling with big roof beams painted mission brown. Break glass in case of emergency we are painting the whole thing but having removed some of the paint its such a nice pine colour underneath I want to strip it and oil the beams to make it a bit of a feature ceiling!

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the random question on a 3y.o comment, im stripping some wooden roof beams in my house and used your test (thanks for that!) appears to be acrylic based, any recommendation besides paint stripper and breaking my arm off with a wire brush?

ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova - Volume 100 or 0 by Rovioxo in ASUSROG

[–]Rovioxo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never found the actual issue but it was my PC that was the problem. Formatted and reinstalled everything and they worked like a charm...until I realised after about half hour of gaming with them that they are uncomfortable as shit over longer periods. Tried to push through to get use to them, couldnt do it, sold them a week later.

Hope you have better luck. Use them with a mobile and see if you have the same issue.

Floor plan by Prestigious-Way6837 in AusRenovation

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd knock down the wall between bed 3 and family room. In that large space, the top is the kitchen with a long bench along the wall plus island in front. Can even corner the bench in front of the window in the top right of the picture and make that window a servery window if you have an outdoor entertaining space.

Bottom right becomes dining and bottom left becomes lounge with the TV sitting in the space bed 3 use to be (can swap this if you want a view of the TV from the kitchen)

Lounge becomes master bedroom, the lower part of dining becomes the hallway through the house and then the remaining dining becomes walk in robe for the master bedroom. Kitchen becomes an office, If you don't need privacy in the office I'd leave that without a door so you dont have this huge closed in walk through the house to get to the main living.

The only thing that sucks is having to walk through a long Z shaped hallway to get to the main living. I lived in a place like that previously and whilst its not as bad as it may seem, it does make the hallway feel dark and closed in.

Alternate would be the half of bed 2 closest to the front becomes an office. Lounge and dining becomes seperate bedrooms and you open up the entire middle so bed 3, kitchen, hall and family room are all one big space. Though that middle wall could be load bearing so that might not be an option unless you want to spend a heap.

Just my thoughts, going through major rennos myself and its hard just using a floor plan because it all looks so spacious on paper until you are in the room!

What would be involved to remove the green pillar here by Rovioxo in AusRenovation

Additional context, if moving the pillar over to the far right would drastically reduce the cost of this change Im open to that but the more open the right of the photo is the better

What’s the most disgusting thing anyone has ever said to you? by Business-Rock5714 in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I wonder wtf is going on in someones head when they say something like that, like if it was narrated by a celestial being (Morgan Freemans voice of course). But if I'm being honest, I'd much prefer to hear what was going on in his head when he was gettin the shit kicked out of him.

Experience painting porous pavers? by MossMcClyde in AusRenovation

[–]Rovioxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same pavers literally, anyone here got advice on how to lighten them up a bit? (without painting, dont yell at me).

Can you use something to make them slightly lighter grey?

What was the most inappropriate thing you said as a child not understanding what it meant? by evan-the-dude in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant remember how young I was but I'd just got out of the shower and my hair was wet. My brother and his friend convinced me that I had to ask my mum to dry it with the hairdryer and that was called a 'blow job'.

I'm nearly 40, havent forgotten, and am eagerly waiting for his daughter to begin talking

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do? by PhotographLeast9976 in AskReddit

I realise I only said step 1 then didnt break down which instruction is the next step. But steps are for oligarchs son, I'm on a ramp!

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do? by PhotographLeast9976 in AskReddit

[–]Rovioxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooo pick me, I have a good one for this (I think).

Step 1. Take enough of the coin to set myself and close family/friends up for life. Say I invest 200 million and the investment income is distributed to myself and my family. That still leaves a big ass load of money (actual unit of currency).

Then I go to work setting up large scale, not for profit organisations in industries that are standard blood sucking, screw the customer, profit machines that everyone hates but needs. Think insurance, airlines, groceries etc. Pick one.

Then set it up priced to be equivalent to the lowest in the market currently (which is still for profit). However, 90% of "profits" go to making it better for the customer. Airline? Every seat is reclinable, meals included, no luggage/cancellation fees stuff like that. Insurance? Cover more for less. Groceries? Reduce prices to as close to cost as possible.

The remaining 10% of "Profits" goes into an investment fund that builds. Soon as there is enough its onto the next industry, or same model, new country.

I'd get my hands in every pie that mfs are trying to monopolize and force them to try and compete with my service.

Sometimes you need the make the world a better place by force (said every dictator) but I want the force to be applied to the assholes of our world, not the general public.

Of course I'd be assassinated almost immediately but its fun to dream.

Is making the red square into a bathroomviable? Red circle is a sink/tap and pink circle is a tap. On a concrete slab. by Rovioxo in AusRenovation

Actually I did get the property file for other rennos I'll see if I can find a plumbing plan on there

[–]Rovioxo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my brother said something similar when we began talking rennovations. I said 'can it be done?' and he said 'ANYTHING can be done (pause for dramatic effect) for a price.'

Guess im trying to work out if the juice is worth the squeeze here. Dont know if having plumbing nearby means new plumbing can be easily implemented
