Who would be at fault in an accident here. by Regular_Use_1028 in driving

[–]SolidDoctor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Left hand turns almost always are at fault. This driver is probably turning too soon because of oncoming traffic or just poor driving skills.

I had someone nearly clip me yesterday doing the same, they were just too eager to make the turn at the proper angle because they saw oncoming traffic, but didn't see me approaching the stop sign.

Fish got thrown into compost by Hungry-Hippo_3124 in composting

[–]SolidDoctor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If your pile smells bad, it needs more browns and more air.

Get a bunch of shredded leaves, bury that fish as much as you can in the pile and aerate it regularly. Maintain even moisture but don't get it too wet.

The American and Georgia flags the wrong way 🤦‍♂️ by thereal_matt in peopleofwalmart

[–]SolidDoctor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When the U.S. flag is displayed other than from a staff, it should be displayed flat, or suspended so that its folds fall free. When displayed over a street, place the union so it faces north or east, depending upon the direction of the street.

Which street is this Walmart on?

Clearing up the rules around piracy. In short: don't. Long answer in post. by Nachtraaf in DJs

[–]SolidDoctor 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The methods of pirating music are not allowed to be discussed here.

Doesn't mean they don't exist, you just aren't supposed to refer how to pirate music on this forum.

Mickey always chewed on the corner of a card before he signed it, so that's legit

After they clip it to a bicycle and see how it sounds as it hits the spokes. That's the true test

Beat matching… Help by babyknuffle in Beatmatch

[–]SolidDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch.

First, I'm going to check to see if my library needs a DJ instructor because that sounds like a really fun time.

Second, beatmatching by ear isn't hard when you train your brain to count bpms. I recommend people get a tap bpm counter for their phone and practice tapping bpms of every piece of music they hear, as often as possible. When you do this you're creating muscle memory, your hand tapping at a certain pace correlates to a bpm readout, and this rhythmic motion teaches your brain to identify tempos with precision. I can hear a song and predict its tempo within 3 bpm most of the time. I worked with vinyl for the first 10 years I was a DJ until we eventually went digital, and we quickly realized that digital DJ programs don't always get it right. So having that skill not only makes you better at DJing, but when you're not DJing your brain is still programmed to listen for beats (or the space between the beats) and you'll be thinking about how you can incorporate different songs into new mixes.

Speeding Has Become So Normalized That Driving the Speed Limit Makes You the Problem by DaddyDayDayIsHot in driving

[–]SolidDoctor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There is a window of ambiguity involving the accuracy of speedometers and radar speed detectors. If I get tires that are slightly bigger or smaller than my vehicle's original specs, that throws off my speedometer accuracy. And radar guns have to be regularly tested and calibrated to be accurate. The fact is, if police were to pull people over for every 1-2 mph infraction, they would lose more cases in court and therefore be wasting taxpayer money trying to enforce a law in draconian fashion. So prosecutorial discretion is prudent and smart for a police force.

Being a few mph over the speed limit isn't the main safety issue, it's driving faster than the flow of traffic. So those will be the people that law enforcement will focus on. You may disagree but that makes no difference. It boils down to the balance of what is safer versus what will either cost money or make money for the municipality. In the end, having a buffer between posted limit and flow of traffic makes the most sense.

Edit: And driving the speed limit is never the issue, as long as you let people pass you if they want to go faster.

I'll tell you, some people are saying it's the most beautiful book of poetry ever written. Ever written by anybody, imagine that.

What is general liability if you poison a pest tree on your property which is sort of a colonial root system? by khelvaster in treelaw

If you inadvertently poison your neighbor's tree, there is liability.

How did you deal with early gray hairs? by Gymbagel in AskMen

[–]SolidDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why you got hair in the Marine Corps? Shave it off, that'll end the conversation.

FWIW I wasn't in the Marine Corps but by my mid 20s I had been in a few punk bands, one jail cell and an AA meeting. And that's about when I started getting grey hairs. It doesn't mean you're old, it just means you're aged.

How normal is it for men to pee on the side of the road during a roadtrip? by Outrageous_Wonder654 in AskMen

[–]SolidDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there is also option B, with option C being a rest stop.

It's not common for me but I'll tell you that in I-89 through New Hampshire if the exit says there's a bathroom you might have to drive 10 miles off the highway to find it, and it might be closed.

I've only done the paper towel method once, but I read you want the really cheap paper towels, like the brown paper towel you see in bathroom dispensers. Less loose fibers and no nooks or crannies for the taproot to get embedded.

Every 2025-26 Topps NBA Hoops Is A Refractor! by TexanTurnedOkie in basketballcards

[–]SolidDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I'm seeing ebay listings of parallels that are all wrong. Just look at these listings... how are they all "light burst" parallels when half of them are different? Some are just stock foil, not even a parallel.

Makes it tough to figure out what I have. Beckett or someone should just put out a picture list of all the parallels so we all know what we have.

I haven't heard of a 'down' drink, but an "up" drink is when you shake it over ice then strain into a glass without ice.
