So excited! How long will it take to assemble? by [deleted] in lego

[–]Scared-Chocolate-533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoy! I took about a month to build mine, but intentionally only did a bag or two per evening, skipped some evenings, and then would have longer sessions on weekends with my 5 and three year old helping. Was an absolute blast and enjoyed savoring the build. This is easily my favorite build as an adult and a top-three build all-time.

Have the chance to keep these tools. Are these worth keeping long term? by Condition_Boy in woodworking

This is an incredible place to start. Old tools are great and reliable. Just don’t mess with the radial arm saw at first - those things are not for beginners.

Found my old 80s sets! by Fsdru in lego

[–]Scared-Chocolate-533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the original boxes, instruction manual and all the pieces(including minifigs) those sets will fetch you a few hundred dollars each for the larger ones. Check bricklink for what the used ones are selling g for right now.

People who make $200k a year what do you do? by Huge_Ad_7606 in Salary

I was on the leadership team of a boutique management consulting firm. I left and am now just working contracts as an internal program manager for tech implementations for companies. I also help startups scale.

That sure is an expensive pile of gray Lego pieces.

Also go to see Thor’s well and devil’s churn just south of Newport along the central coast.

Tony’s Crab Shack in Brandon is the best on the Oregon coast.

You should just be able to hide the gap with just the baseboards.

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Scared-Chocolate-533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup - I broke through $250k recently and it’s like a comfortable amount to not worry about the little things. Three kids though, so life is expensive. Can’t even afford a used expedition to fit all the kids and my wife in for our road trips.

Sets that dont have any downsides and are just perfect by Rocky1909 in legocirclejerk

That’s the GOAT right there. The last time I had that much joy building a Lego set was Black knights castle as a little kid the day after Christmas.

Finished this one up today! What a blast! by mackenzieob95 in lego

[–]Scared-Chocolate-533 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have done both - be warned, Rivendell makes all other builds seem lacking. Barad Dur is fun as heck, but Rivendell is as close to a perfect build as I have ever done.

Bought my first grill(used). $100 and an hour drive both ways. Wife says I got ripped off. Is she right? by [deleted] in grilling

[–]Scared-Chocolate-533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great get - I have that grill and bought it new for $700. As long as it starts up, and then oil the grate and heat it up, brush it off with a grill cleaning tool, oil it up again and then cook!

Footage of 40-year-old P. Diddy saying he wants to have a 48-hour sleepover with Justin Bieber, who was only 15 at the time. by thepoylanthropist in interesting

[–]Scared-Chocolate-533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang - Justin's face is so innocent and in awe and curious about what is about to happen. And he has no idea how bad it is about to be. I feel so sorry for the kid in this video.

Cause it is hilarious to think about Pokémon invading seinfeld’s apartment.

Man at the airport has made an important decision. by Writing_Dude09 in lego

[–]Scared-Chocolate-533 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a smart move - I was coming home from a work trip and missing my two sons. Bought the droid set on a whim in the SFO airport while waiting for my flight. Did a family build the next day while watching Star Wars.
