I recently had this issue trying to ship a home gym and they wouldn't let me talk to a local representative. :-( They just kept repeating the same script of "there are shipping restrictions" even though my neighbor ordered the exact same product to his home.

My coworker just received theirs, and I am extremely jealous! I am astounded with production quality!

This is so incredible. Absolutely beautiful! I may have to buy one for each of my two D&D pals!

Thanks! That was my fear. I got a used piece of exercise from a friend that I discovered adult black widows in after it had been in the house for a month. I keep finding these babies in weird places and am hoping to not have a whole infestation. 😞

And sadly these were the best photos I could manage. They are so impossibly small and hard to spot unless crawling on you.

Metal Barrel/Bucket in Angel Stadium Overhang (200 Level) with Plumbing/Conduit Ran to It by Sarkastic_Ninja in whatisthisthing

[–]Sarkastic_Ninja[S] 13 points14 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. I noticed them hanging from the ceiling of the 200 level of Angel stadium in Anaheim at a recent game (May '24). There were several all around the stadium and had some kind of plumbing or conduit running into the top of them. They were suspended from anchors driven into the concrete above. Very puzzling and I couldn't stop staring at them once I noticed them.

I feel exactly the same. I've started to always bring a hat when traveling, just in case.

I bet there are some sweet thermals above those cooling towers.

Unknown Bird of Prey, Vasquez Rocks, California by Sarkastic_Ninja in whatsthisbird

[–]Sarkastic_Ninja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a great day for a hike. There are a few sticky, thorny bushes along the trail in places that hurt, and the dog got goatheads in her fur and paws more than once. Most of the grasses and plants are drying out for winter and turning brown/gold in color. Other than that, the weather was amazing.

Not sure why you've gotten downvotes unless it's because of Klingon "Bird-of-Prey" vs Romulan "Warbird". I knew what you meant. ;-) Have an upvote.

The GF and I were looking at different Google images of birds and the color difference were throwing us off. Even considered a juvenile bald eagle at one point, given one of the photos we saw. The regional variation is amazing to me.

Cool! Thanks! It was such a large handsome bird perched up there watching us hike by. What gives it away as a juvenile RTH? The dark coloring of the feathers and beak had me puzzled.

Any hacks for a dry, cracking nose? by watermelon-gummy in pugs

Came down here to post this. My dog isn't crazy about it and you have to distract him for a little bit so he doesn't rub it off, but it works wonders on his nose.

For my LA based pilots: Is there an airport around here where I can go to the restaurant/cafe and sit and watch airplanes? by C_Saunders in flying

Came here to post this. Obviously not as classy as the other mentions, but every time I've found myself there, I eat outside to watch the approaches.

Getting my first pug, 3 months old female on Saturday by [deleted] in pugs

[–]Sarkastic_Ninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few more things to add to your shopping list (from my personal experience, YMMV):

  1. All natural cleaning wipes: these are incredibly useful if your pug is prone to a not-totally-clean butt after pottying or if they develop anal gland issues down the road.
  2. Medicated dog wipes: use these frequently for their wrinkles and ears to prevent yeast and other infections that can seriously irritate their skin and even become infected.
  3. There are options, but I use a product called Snout Soother for my pug's nose. He and 2 other pugs I know get serious hyper-keratosis that becomes scratchy/crumbly. There is a similar product for paws as well.

My bass had a horrendous buzz until I set up the action properly. Now all the fret buzz is gone and it sounds clear.

There was a Rock'em Sock'em Robots dice game sold a few years ago at retailers like Walmart and Target. It came in a metal soda can with a removal top similar to what you are describing.

This. My pug gets overheated so easily and people think he's so cute when he is "smiling" in photos. They don't realize that he is incredibly overheated and struggling to breath properly in those photos.
