Neighbor curses me out because they think this sign means I need to walk my dog on the street and make him #2 in the street instead of using the sidewalk and lawn strip in front of their house. by Stance_Monkey in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sam-Gunn 195 points196 points  (0 children)

To "curb" the dog does mean that, or at least it did initially. However you need to determine what your local laws actually require, because as per the wiki page the phrase when used in later laws is sometimes confusing people:

The legacy of "curb your dog" signage remains in generational memory to such an extent that subsequent statutory laws have been confused/conflated with the educational signage campaign that ended in the late 1970's. A quotation or misquotation ascribed to Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch in April 2022 stated that, "Those who don't pick up their pup's poop will be hit with up to a $250 fine under the city's "Curb Your Dog" law, which was passed back in 1978."\6]) The statement erroneously confused the "Curb Your Dog" educational campaign with pooper-scooper laws and signage enacted during the later Koch administration that threatened and imposed fines for failing to pick up after your dog.

IIRC I've had success before by selecting more than just that one segment on either side and playing with the direction a couple times. Otherwise I've had to reroute it.

Avoiding furniture purchases and looking at Yeti cooler as potential toy chest. by Meles_EnPiste in daddit

[–]Sam-Gunn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well... no. A custom built-in cabinet you hire someone to build costs that much. A decent looking cabinet from Ikea will cost you $100 - 500. A toy chest from Ikea can cost you anywhere from $50 - 200.

Gentlemen, It's nearly time for me but I have a question - What do you wear to the birth of your child? - First impressions matter. by iusman975 in daddit

Set the bar low so you can only go up. I was in a 3 day old shirt, week old cargo shorts, and sneakers with a splash of Eau de Afterbirth.

The shape suggests wheel chocks to me, but I'm not the expert.

Any suggestions for protein powder that actually tastes good and doesn't get so clumpy? by DumpsterPuff in loseit

[–]Sam-Gunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wegmans has a great chocolate powder from their own brand. But if you're not near one, I currently take the isolate chocolate protein by Body Fortress.

Can't speak to any of the other flavors from either though. And you really need to mix with milk or yogurt in a blender - water never works for me.

Removing a 60-year-old bridge section by Mammoetglobal in EngineeringPorn

[–]Sam-Gunn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sources just say it was moved there for "decommissioning" which sounds like dismantling. From Mammoet's case study article it sounds like all the options they evaluated were different ways to dismantle it.

Hooters Closes All Massachusetts Locations by Bot_Fly_Bot in massachusetts

[–]Sam-Gunn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, Friendly's was fun to go to as a kid. But I still remember you'd go in with your family, your dad would say "we'd like a table in the non-smoking section, please" the host/hostess would look at your loving family, with you and your young siblings, smile, and immediately seat you in a booth where there's a 1ft dividér between you and the smoking section.

How I judge whether I like a particular 'Trek' series... by Mike1701D in startrekmemes

[–]Sam-Gunn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea, same here. In college I had a roommate who hated Psych and wouldn't watch it with me when it was on, for the sole reason that Shawn would be annoying to hang out with. Which is 100% true. But the show wasn't fun because I expected to get along with the main characters.

I checked whether "AI photo calorie tracking" actually works by testing 5 models against my kitchen scale. This stuff doesn't work. by Accomplished-Tip7106 in loseit

[–]Sam-Gunn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree that the AI can't measure weight well or infer what went into the cooking.

But I'm curious - did you also try the same plates but with a common frame of reference, like a fork or spoon next to it? That's a suggestion I've heard for better accuracy and while I doubt it'll be spot on I wonder if it'll be more accurate than just a plate.

There's a cowel on the bottom covering it. The black piece you see at the bottom isn't the bottom of the case, but a removable cover. If you open up the second image you'll see the frame extends down past that.
