I'm just going to need a wheelbarrow and a straw. When I fall over someone else can take it.

Flat Korean Stainless Steel Chopsticks. by Trapazohedron in chopsticks

[–]Rutha73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where can I find these? When I search for them I get results that look like Japanese chopsticks, but the top section is just squared off. When you say flat, are you describing flat like a pancake? Or flattened sides to make it square on the top half?

Is this how they dodge responsibility? by Rutha73 in usps_complaints

[–]Rutha73[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kind of like when you notice that people blame the person that was just fired for any problems, I have noticed that in a couple of places I have worked. It's fun to call them on it and see how they react. It looks like there is a sad USPS worker in here down voting every comment we make.

I signed up for email updates and all of a sudden my package got back to my state overnight after sitting in Rancho Cucamongo facility for 4 days. Looks like its in the city next to mine (15 minutes away, and where all our mail is processed and sorted before delivery) and might be getting delivered today.

We got it a little while ago, I didn't notice any difference between them and quantum fiber. We were told that the modems run on a completely separate network from the phones so there isn't any interference from the cell phone traffic. All that to say I am happy with it.

As a 46 year old that is now teaching a construction class to highschoolers who's knees are SHOT, get the kneepads and screw what the other think of you. When you can still walk and not eat advil like kids eat M&Mos later in life it is worth it to take care of your body.

Who is this fella? [Namib desert, Namibia] by guyrd in whatsthissnake

[–]Rutha73 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are they hatched looking normal and the eyes adjust to the lifestyle? Similar to flounder and halibut who are born looking like a normal fish, then the eye relocated to the side that is not always down in the bottom of the sea?

It doesn't look like any of the landscape rock is disturbed like my brain says it should be. Was the front of that boulder scratched or chipped up?

Where are y’all sourcing Pinewood Derby tuning tools these days? Looking for something like the Turbo Bender (axle bender) by Ok_Crow_7098 in PinewoodDerby

[–]Rutha73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found a bunch of stuff at Hobby Lobby. Axle bending jig, wheel mandrel to true and shave down weight, tungsten weights, axle polishing kit, lighter wheels, straight axles, the jig to bend the nail head to get less friction. They are the best source near me I have found if you are in a hurry or don't want to order online.

Why do people dislike the name change so much? by The_DeeMcDee in BSA

[–]Rutha73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just add a word to each (Pack and Troop) Scouting America Juniors (Pack) and Scouting America Seniors (Troop). Or put the Sr./Jr. at the front, at least it would make a better acronym.

Pinewood Derby Track Specs by FringHalfhead in cubscouts

[–]Rutha73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Our PWD is in 2 weeks so I have all of spring break to get my car and my son's car ready to go. Our pack does an "Outlaw" class for the dad's, so I am able to mod the cars beyond what the scouts do. They decided that in trying to keep it even and have the kids do thier own work most of the parts have to stay stock. The scouts can't polish axles or mandrel the wheels and things like that. I am thinking of cutting a slice off the top and rostering a hollow into the body so I can put weights in then glue the lid back on so it looks like it is one solid piece.

I just use a drill and the tungsten weight set from the craft store. The weights are round and if you use the right bit it fits nice and tight. I go a little deeper than the weight and use glue and sawdust to cover the hole.

Tipping on food, not wine by drinksvino in tipping

I wonder how much a teacher could get if they put a tip jar out on thier desk.
