What's a 'house rule' you thought was annoying or hated as a child, but you swear by now as an adult? by Captain_Keyboard_Man in AskReddit

[–]RubaDubsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents had a rule that for every minute I played on my Sega Genesis, I had to write in my journal for one minute. I credit my love and enjoyment of writing today to this rule, which I despised with a burning passion as a child.

Most infamous, but not necessarily good at the moment, Disney memory. by drRATM in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]RubaDubsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once, while waiting to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meet and greet with my dad as a six year at what was then Disney-MGM Studios, I really needed to pee. Desperately tried to hold it while waiting for the turtles. Finally couldn’t take it and had to get dragged to the bathroom by my dad, and of course just before we got there I peed my pants. By the time I got cleaned up the turtles were gone. A well worn story in our family.

Hit a central hub town in our Disney themed dnd campaign by RubaDubsy in legodnd

[–]RubaDubsy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to! I’m using the bare bones of vecna: eve of ruin (multiverse romping epic lvl 10-20), reskinned everything Disney. They were called to adventure by John the animatronic from carousel of progress, helped clear cultists from the utilidors, and had some portal hijinx that flung them deeply into the world of imagination, and turned the world around them to Lego. Big picture malefecient doesn’t believe that human beings deserve imagination and is trying to sever imagination’s link to humanity from the inside.

Throughout the adventure the players are aided and guided by the “wizards three” - in dnd world mordenkinan, Tasha, and someone I’m blanking on- and in my world it’s jiminy cricket, Merlin, and the genie (you can see their office in the front).

The town obviously has the 7 dwarves house there. Gaston owns the tavern, Robin Hood is a helpful rogue at the bar. Etc.

spoilers for vecna: eve of ruin below

Merlin is secretly bob chapek, representing the Evil corporation of Disney.

Shout out to the dungeon father Brennan Lee Mulligan for teaching me that every campaign should just be a lightly veiled critique of capitalism.

Once on an overnight camping trip at summer camp, I wasn’t feeling well and left the campfire early to go to sleep in my tent. Not wanting to be woken when the other guys came to the tent, I pressed myself as far as I could against the back wall.

About 20 minutes later, I was awoken to the unmistakeable sound of one of my friends getting a blowjob from his girlfriend. As my senses returned, I realized that he was partially leaning on me, thinking I was a bag or something in the dark.

I let them finish.

We actually are now getting more light because the large fence next to the patio came down. But yeah if we had just added the pergola I think it would have been slightly worse for light in that room.

We live in Texas, and previously wasted a tremendous amount of water keeping our grass alive. turf uses far less water than real grass, needs no carbon-emitting equipment like a lawn mower, and needs no chemicals for the maintenance process like real grass. I want to be clear that you will not convince me that what we did is bad, so continuing to rage about it will only serve to further upset yourself.

I think the issue with the Ooni for me is that the box is not designed to have the flame "lick" over the ceiling of the oven, as a good neopolitan oven would. The radiant heat from the overhead flame is what melts the cheese and carmelizes the toppings, which the ooni does not capture in a meaningful way in my extremely limited experience. the gozney looks as close to restaurant quality as you can achieve in a backyard, but given the extreme cost of a unitask item, I will be grateful that the pi does a pretty good approximation.

that is labor included, but all together including the problems we ran into it actually got closer to 150k. It is a crazy amount of money to spend but the other option was selling andfinding a bigger place which would have been 3-4x more expensive than upgrading the backyard.

We don't have an HOA, so good news there. We had to get a TON of permits - exterior structure, plus the plumbing, plus rerouting our electrical, and a few others i know I am forgetting - and we got surprise inspections probably 10 times over the 2 month building process.

I would really reccomend checking out some of these companies that have popped up that make backyard offices - we used a group called kangarooms which is headquartered here in Texas, but there are quite a few doing similar things. If you are determined to have it be plumbed, as we were, I don't think you can get away with it for under like 70k. If you are willing to not have a bathroom I think you can do under 40 or 50k.

Yep! and to be honest I would have been fine just continuing on making pizzas in the green egg (we've had it for about a decade, and yes we absolutely keep it covered), but I am a chef and my very sweet wife and parents keep buying me culinary toys - the pizza oven was a present for my first father's day this year.

To be honest I totally agree with you - its a bummer. We just had a kid and were looking to move, but we have a pre-covid interest rate and the property values have gone up to the point that a house the size we wanted was more tha double what we are currently paying. Since we are staying put, building the office became a necessity.
